Dharavi has achieved mythical status. Commonly, and mistakenly, cited as Asia's largest slum, it is a symbol of Mumbai's inability to meet the needs of its population, and the ability of Mumbaikars to meet those needs on their own. Commentaries usually fall back on the slum narrative, which sees Dharavi as resilient but backward, and in need of radical intervention. Matias Echanove and Rahul Srivastava of Urbz argue that it is time for this narrative to be rewritten. Dharavi residents do not recognise their home as a slum - the slum is always somewhere else, a few blocks away perhaps. Echanove and Srivastava challenge the bipolar way in which Mumbai sees itself, divided between "backward" slums and "modern" high-rises. What they call the "user-generated neighbourhood" is far more sophisticated and productive than any developer's masterplan.

The Slum Outside Elusive Dharavi edition by Matias Echanove Rahul Srivastava URBZ Arts Photography eBooks

A short and concise summary of Matias Echanove and Rahul Srivastava's findings from several years of living in and researching Dharavi. They offer a much more nuanced view of Mumbai's famous slum, far beyond the frequent romanticizing and/or dismissal of the slum as a veritable urban form that deserves to be better understood as well as learned from. The authors' international experience adds an important dimension to their research. I found the parallels to post-war Tokyo the most intriguing. Here, as in Dharavi, a lax zoning regime allowed families living in quickly reconstructed houses to locate their little workshops downstairs. Those would become a major and innovative supplier to Japan's export machine, playing an important yet under-researched part in the economic miracle.
