Slum

Even then, it is still survival of the fittest. Background assumption is a deeply embedded, common understanding of how the world operates and of how people ought to act. Dharavi is a mega slum.

Dharavi consist of 11 masses, 28 temples, 6 churches, and 12 schools. Over 5000 businesses exist in 15,000 single room factories. Most of…

Mike Davis’s book Planet of Slums does a good job at analyzing world urbanization, poverty and describing the conditions in which the poorest people on earth live in, however I disagree with his opinion that the slums are a lost cause.

His book had a deep impact in how I define poverty as…

beginning. The strategy of rebuilding has not been successful. Eliminating slums or halting the decaying of neighborhoods in cities has not been accomplished. This concept of salvaging continues the failing method in a never ending cycle. However, there are proper steps that can be taken to reverse the process for decay. The lack of involvement from city planners on the decaying issue has created what is known as “The Slums.” Jacobs’ solutions include development at…

who belongs from a favored family, who has never encountered how cruel life can be and a child from a slum who is familiar with the brutality experienced due to a poverty. Whereas when the slum boy takes out a flute, the rich boy drowns its sound by his loud toy-trumpet, when the slum boy switches to a home-made mask and spear,” the rich boy pondering over his unspoken defeat, given that the slum boy gives up trying to be friends with the rich boy and the rich boy seems proud of his victory”…
