Dharavi is known as Asia's largest slum. The future of Dharavi's residents has been placed in the hands of the city and the real estate world's heavy weights.
Reconciling the interests of the builders with those of the slumdwellers will be no easy task. But if it happens, the heart of Mumbai may get it's make-over, and the city may move a step closer to becoming "world-class".
This is the first five minutes of a longer video about Dharavi. You can see an edited version at Current.com - search their website for the word Dharavi.

HAHAHAHA 1.2 million dollar plan, if it was the U.S. fixing this place up it would be a 1.2 billion dollar plan, they cant fix the slum up with that

Had the so called concerned people wanted, dharavi would never have become such a pain for Mumbai

bollywood has spoilt & corrupted indian minds into believing that mumbai is a "shanghai"(the catchphase u hear over & over again) ,,when infact mumbai never was anything other than shit land.even if it pulls out to be a less filthy city ,dat will be huge achievement

even insane man would not agree with the interpretation of devlopment in dharavi that these people give when they say "mumbai is a world class city"

my plan step 1-get rid of corrupt old politician 2- get foreign real estate land developer and corperate investor to inject much needed money 3-the new government can free up their money for rodes clearing dharavi and new infrastructure 3-terrorism is much concern however which would not attract foreigner for investment and vacationing. this is a major concern that i have no answer for.
