VIDEO INTRODUCTION:
After 40 years of discussions, delays, and political battles, the Dharavi Redevelopment Project in Mumbai is finally moving forward.
But is this the right model for Dharavi?
In this episode of Indian Business Debate, two experts go head-to-head on one of India’s most controversial urban decisions.
Meet Ghulam Zia, Senior Executive Director at Knight Frank India. He believes this model is the most practical solution to a long-standing human crisis.
Opposing him is Hussain Indorewala, urban planning professor and columnist. He argues that this redevelopment model could lead to serious long-term consequences for the city.
One project. Two visions. You decide which model is right and which model is wrong!
