Description

The Dharavi district, best known from Slumdog Millionaire, is one of Asia's largest slums where nearly one million squatters live in makeshift housing on one square mile of government land. Liza Weinstein draws on a decade of work, including more than a year of research in Dharavi, to explain how the slum has persisted for so long, achieving a precarious stability.
