[Reader-list] URGENT: Studies on Mumbai 'Slum' Rehabilitation

[Gargi Sen]

There is a very interesting film called ŒDharavi, Slum for Sale¹ directed by
Lutz Konermann. We are trying to acquire the film for distribution in India
but it will take some more time. Meanwhile you could try writing to the
director at: Lutz Konermann <lutz at konermann.net> If you¹re based in Delhi
you¹re welcome to come by to view it.

Subject: [Reader-list] URGENT: Studies on Mumbai 'Slum' Rehabilitation

Hi: Can anyone please provide references to any studies available on
rehabilitation schemes for Mumbai 'slums', esp. Dharavi -- which
specifically point at the fact the people don't want to move out of the
'slum' spaces because of the thriving 'informal' economy there -- and that
rehabilitation is a state mechanism to introduce regulation and surveillance
of 'slum' populations. Are there any studies on these or similar lines? --
