| Mike Davis: Planet of Slums |
formal actions on slums:
oppressions/evictions
temporary, ineffective aid
improvements (street lamps)
census/right to land (2yrs)
slum upgrades
grants (redevelopment ; roads/water/sewers)
SRA (Sectoral Plan)
informal systems:
extortion=tax-deductable
police/judges work with mafia re. justice
industry
make-shift sewerage systems
Dharavi:
Reclaimed marshes – boom:
High real estate prices; next to economic power
Religions, languages, cultures (divisions: ’93 riots)
Geographical boundaries
SRA (Sectoral Plan) to compete with
will be larges slum redevelopment ever (600,000 – 1m ppl live there: ppl since 2000 get new apts)
not good for workers (size of apts / industry)
ppl will sell apts, and move elsewhere; who benefits? (votes: politics)
