The Dharavi Redevelopment Project is one of the most significant manifestations of this vision. For decades, Dharavi has symbolised both the challenges and possibilities of urban India. It is home to a vibrant entrepreneurial ecosystem, rich social networks and extraordinary human resilience.
As India advances toward becoming a developed nation, our urban centres will play a defining role in shaping economic growth, social mobility, innovation, and quality of life.
Our journey began with a fundamental promise: to listen, to understand, and to ensure every resident is seen and heard. This commitment materialised through the largest-ever survey of its kind in India.
After decades of neglect, the voice of Dharavi is now finally being heard. And the whole of Mumbai is listening. Listening with their hearts and souls.
