The community of Dharavi is considered by some to be the largest slum in the world. It occupies the most contested land in Mumbai, India. Originally located on the outskirts of the city, the settlement is now in the center of the expanding city and the land it is built on has risen in value exponentially. Proposals to redevelop Dharavi have not included the residents of the settlement, nor taken into consideration their lifestyles and livelihoods.

The design intervention seeks to remedy this lack of information and interaction by literally making visible the proposed re-blocking and housing schemes of the development plan. This allows the residents of Dharavi to become aware of how this plan affects them individually and collectively, giving them the ability to appropriate undesired aspects of the plan and alter them to become acceptable and as minimally disruptive as possible.
