Dharavi, one of the world’s most densely populated informal settlements, has long faced challenges related to overcrowding, sanitation, flooding, and public health. Urban planning studies consistently highlight the near absence of open land in the area, making basic infrastructure upgrades extremely difficult. These conditions affect not only Dharavi’s residents but also surrounding parts of Mumbai, turning local issues into wider urban concerns.
The Dharavi redevelopment project proposes the rehabilitation of nearly 10 lakh residents, a scale that urban experts note cannot be executed without creating construction access and space for rehabilitation buildings. As part of this process, temporary relocation has been planned in select pockets to enable construction and infrastructure work. According to official frameworks, this relocation is described as transitional, not permanent displacement, with the stated objective of delivering formal housing equipped with water, sanitation, electricity, and legal ownership documentation.
To reduce hardship during this transition, official provisions include monthly rental support for eligible residential and commercial occupants, annual rent escalation, advance rent payments, and relocation to MHADA transit buildings, which are designated as legal housing facilities. While the project represents a large and sensitive urban transformation, experts stress that its success must ultimately be measured not by plans alone, but by how effectively it improves living conditions on the ground and ensures timely, dignified rehabilitation for affected residents.
