Fresh vegetables

This would be another interesting thing to think about. Who sells the vegetables and fruits here in Dharavi? Are they the residents of Dharavi themselves? Where do they get the vegetables from? What is the cost of the vegetables in Dharavi and other places in the city? Is it the same? Is this market only for the people of Dharavi? Who are the main costumers?

Dhobi Talao - The local laundry

Community space!

This is the place in front of a few houses left mainly for the reason that no one knew how to build in and still be able to walk through the other hosues.

This open courtyard is a luxury!

Water in Dharavi

A very old way of bringing water.... A hand pump!

Water containers to store water

Reels of pipe to bring in water in the mornings

Provision for illegal connection

A fresh water pipe left on the ground

@ URBZ

After reading so much about Dharavi, to be in Dharavi is a different experience altogether. My first physical interaction with the streets of Dharavi was initiated by Matias Echanove and Rahul Srivastava. Yes its the URBZ office located in Dharavi. The streets of Dharavi are crowded on two sides with a variety of shops and small industries. There is hustle and bustle all around. There is a serious amount activity and an amazing sense of neighborhood. My first impression is that the street of Dharavi resembles just any other street in the city of Mumbai. Its just as busy and diverse if not more.
