Dharavi is both a city and a symbol, a city within the megalopolis of Mumbai (Bombay), and a
symbol of rampant urbanization around the world. More than a million people live in this slum,
surrounded by buildings in the heart of the city. And even more poor people are still leaving the
country to settle in Dharavi, hoping to find work with one of the thousands of little shops and
businesses. It is said that the pulse of Mumbai beats in Dharavi, but the slum is now threatened,
as promoters try to recover the land to make the most of what they can, at the expense of the
people living there. Jonas Bendiksen tells the story, in 2007, the year when, for the first time
ever, more of the worlds population is living in cities than in rural areas.
Good!!!
