At first I did not intend to upload this picture, but then I watched again Slum Dog Millionaire. So I felt, I will upload it as an example of Mumbai's resettlement plan.

Finding unencroached land for commercial and private development has become increasingly difficult, what forced the state government to . The plight of slum dwellers recently has been highlighted in the mega movie “Slam Dog Millionaire”. My picture shows a social housing redevelopment near the Mumbai suburb Kurla which is part of the proposed urban redevelopment plan for the Dharavi area – where cheap but illegal slum housing always has been available. All families who lived in this area before the year 2000 are slated for redevelopment which is realized at a snails pace.
