Over half of Mumbai's 13 million live in slums. Dharavi has the
dubious distinction of being the biggest slum of all. But
a plan to raze and rebuild this area - populatd by over 500,000
is underway. In September 2007 twenty six of the world's
largest developers put in bids for the chance to undertake
this massive project.
The redevelopment plan's mastermind, Mukesh Mehta, says that he's
taken all the factors into consideration; rehousing slumdwellers,
providing employment, upgrading utilities as well as ensuring that
top-level developers will be in charge of the massive undertaking.
But over half a million people live and work in this bustling beehive
of a slum, and many aren't happy about a plan that will radically
change their world.
This 15-minute story takes the audience on a journey with me into
this heart-shaped slum in the center of Mumbai
