Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis recently emphasized that “India will guide the world in the transformation from slums to smart cities,” highlighting Dharavi’s redevelopment as a landmark project. With an estimated budget of over ₹20,000 crore, this project is not only a social upliftment program but also a showcase of India’s urban innovation capabilities.
What sets Dharavi apart is its deep-rooted community spirit, vibrant economy, and cultural diversity all of which the redevelopment plans aim to preserve while modernizing the infrastructure. The initiative focuses on inclusive planning, ensuring that original residents are given dignified housing and access to modern amenities without displacement.
As the world watches closely, Dharavi’s transformation has the potential to redefine how cities around the globe address informal settlements. If successful, India’s model could become a global benchmark for balancing development with equity and sustainability.
The Dharavi Smart City project isn’t just about building better infrastructure, it’s about building a better future.
