Dharavi: Asia´s Largest Slum and Problems

Dharavi, known as Asia's largest slum area, has gathered more than a million people and is in a great location in the commercial and financial center of Mumbai, India. The fate of Dalawi is a controversial political issue as housing opportunities continue to be limited due to the huge pressures and population growth of governments and markets developing into world class cities (Boano, Lamarca & Hunter 2011). In light of this imminent issue, this article explains Dharavi's overview and explanation, an overview of major housing issues and issues faced by governments and stakeholders, and analysis of housing policy initiatives.

Initially, I wanted to focus on some slums, but in the end I decided to concentrate all the energy on the slums of Dharavi. Dharavi is the largest slum area in Mumbai and one of the biggest slums in the world. Discussions continue on whether relocation of Durhamvi and its inhabitants should be resolved, or whether the government should work on improving the situation in the slums so that the inhabitants of the slums can stay. In addition, Dharavi operates in its own way and does not recognize that people in the slum community actually established this tightly integrated working community and contributed to the Mumbai society.

This is the lifestyle of residents of Dharavi. They live here, work here, get married here and die here ... for the inhabitants of skyscrapers in Mumbai - Dharavi is "the largest slums street in Asia". You can see the windows spread out from the dirty places, car windows. This is a time bomb for the government that owns Dharavi. Reconstruction will bring much needed money to the national treasury. But how much of it is in our pocket is what they truly want to know. (Bansalgandy, 7)

One of the world's largest slums is located in the heart of Mumbai, India. Dalavi Slum Street was founded in the British colonial period in 1882 and has over 1 million people living there. The biggest problem in the Dalavi slum area is hygiene. Drew Binsky, author of The Hungry Partier (published in the previous US News and The Huff Post), says: "There is only one toilet in 1,450 people, Victoria's water pollution is very high, pollution is made up of all trash and feces thrown into the river.
