Redevelopment of Slum Areas

- The Dharavi slum in Mumbai houses over one million residents in illegal matchbox homes lacking basic amenities in the center of the city. Poor sanitation and industrial waste in the streets pose major health risks. - The state government has attempted various projects since the 1970s to provide services and redevelop Dharavi, but a lack of census data and difficulties with accurate resident records have hindered progress. A 2004 redevelopment plan faced resistance from residents concerned it would destroy community and increase density.

REDEVELOPMENT OF

SLUM AREAS
REASONS OF HAVING SLUM AREAS

• India is undergoing transition from rural to semi urban society.


• Increasing migration from rural to urban areas.
• Mismatch between demand and supply of sites and services .
Disparity between high land costs , cost of construction and lower
incomes leading to non sustainable situation. Construction sector
provides employment to 16% of work force.
• Lack of equitable supply of land, shelter and services at affordable
prices.
• Environmental paradigms neglected while design and planning .
• Depletion of resources in construction and negligence of ecology in
design
• Lack of application of cost effectiveness and energy efficiency in
construction.
Slum redevlopment Benefits to Slum Dwellers:-
• Housing
• Provision of Individual Toilets Drainage
• Water Supply Arrangement
• Roof Top Rain Water Harvesting
• Electric Connection
• Storm Water disposal pipe line
• Community Center
• Employment opportunities during project development
• This Project will uplift the standard of living.
• Creditworthiness of the dwellers will Improve.
• After getting the tenure in family name they can get the personal loan .

Project Benefit to Slum Dwellers

• Use Of Advance Cost Effective Technology / Material , Earthquake Resistant Technology ENGG.
SURVEY ,Fly -Ash, Lime and Gypsum mixed bricks (Fal-G) will be used for construction of dwelling
units. Precast Ferro Cement jali will be used in place of steel or wooden window. Man Hole Covers
For Inspection Chamber will be used made from precasted Ferro cement.
• Precast RCC door frame will used in place of teak-wood frame. Precast Ferro Cement Chhajja cum
Lintal will be used in place of conventional insitu RCC for cost & time saving purpose. Precast Ferro
Cement steps will be used in place of conventional brick masonry.
• Justification for need of the project No any Housing scheme like Lok AwasYojana (LAY) of GOM of
VAMBAY (Valmiki Ambedkar Malin Basti AwasYojana) was launche by the State or GOI. The above
scheme was only in 61 town of the state. Hence DMC could not provide the basic need to slum
residents.
• The main object of IHSDP to provide shelter along with the basic need like Water, Road, Drain,
Storm Water Disposal, Solid Waste Disposal, Sewerage, Street light etc are in one package which
provides hygienic and habitable condition to the poor, which will definitely up lift the standard of
living.
• The Dharavi slum in Mumbai is a sprawling 525‐acre mosaic of matchbox
houses with rickety roofs and questionable sanitation housing over one
million residents
• In the centre of India’s glitzy financial capital of Mumbai. Dharavi’s resid
ents, like most slum dwellers around the world, live in illegal housing unit
s lacking basic amenities and suffer from social exclusion.
• A lack of recognized land titles relinquishes the government from its
responsibility of providing the residents with basic public services like wa
ter and sanitation.
• Poor sanitation is also a major problem in slums. Many of Dharavi’s residents live in th
e highly industrial parts of the slums where waste water from leather tanning and clot
h dyes flows in the streets, exposing the residents to health hazards like diarrhoea, ch
olera, malaria and parasitic infections.
• The state government of Maharashtra first recognized the importance of redevelopin
g Dharavi in 1971. The Slum Improvement Programme (SIP) of 1972 was intended to p
rovide basic amenities to the slum like water, electricity, latrines and sewage disposal,
but could not implement these plans as there was no comprehensive census on
the slums of Mumbai. 46 years later, no such census exists.
• In 1976, the government attempted to give slum dwellers “legitimate status”. Residen
ts received photo identities and were required to pay a small sum of money, of which
a fraction was paid to the government as land rent.
• Thisscheme allowed some of the dilapidated housing to be reconstructed, and ten
ants were allowed to build lofts over the existing housing structures.
• Water and electricity were also provided. However, the scheme ended by 1991 due to
administrative difficulties that arose from a lack of accurate records of the number of
residents and houses.
• The World Bank funded the Slum Upgradation Programme (SUP) of 1985. Unde
r this programme, existing slum land was leased out to cooperative groups of slum d
wellers at affordable rates, and loans were granted for environmental and housing i
mprovements
• In 2004, the government proposed a Dharavi Redevelopment Project in which develo
pers would rehouse Dharavi’s residents24 in 300 square feet apartments built in high
rise tower blocks, thus freeing up space for their own development projects. While t
he tower blocks resolve the issue of hygiene and sanitation that previously plagu
ed the slum
• it has encountered major resistance from its residents. Residents feel that a tower s
tructure destroys the community sentiment that has allowed Dharavi’s micro industr
ies to thrive for so many years, and drastically increases the already alarming popula
tion density of the area.
• The state government also commissioned architects to develop plans for the re
development, but the ever‐growing population and close proximity of the slum to th
e business district in the heart of the city, always meant that plans would be formula
ted and then eventually fall through due to implementation challenges.
