  Residents are given funding to work together to improve the areas of Dharavi they feel is needed most.

  It costs less money because people do much of the work themselves meaning everyone can stay in Dharavi. Meaning thousands of businesses can continue which brings the community together because they need to discuss the improvements.
• Navy mumbai

  New city that was built on the outskirts of Mumbai to reduce overcrowding.

  People were able to move out of Dharavi into the newly built city. It was built on purpose and planned out so there were green spaces and provided a better living environment. Not everyone wanted to move away from Dharavi.
