Slum cluster

 Dharavi is known as the largest informal settlement in Asia in 2022.One million people live in one square mile of Mumbai(Bombay).It is smack dab in the middle of Mumbai.For decades,it's been slated for redevelopment,with the formalization of streets,utilities and services for 20 years now.Plans are finally taking shape,but debates remain over where people will live,and whether they will be able to continue to work on small businesses close to home.

            Dharavi has warrens of alleys packed with people,naked electric wires and open sewer drains.Sewage is untreated there.Dharavi is a tightly packed neighborhood;it is a slumcluster

            Informal markets pack every street of Dharavi.The city's two main rail lines pass through Dharavi.-Raksha Kumar,PRI,The World,March 22,2023
