Furthermore, we will go on a slum-tour in Dharavi, Mumbai. Spreading over 200 hectares, Dharavi is home to an about a million people which makes it the biggest slum in Asia. Dharavi has an active informal economy in which numerous household enterprises employ many of the slum residents. Leather, textiles and pottery products are among the goods made inside Dharavi by the slum residents. The total annual turnover has been estimated at over US$500 million. You might know Dharavi from “Slumdog Millionaire” which opened with a 12-minute police chase through the crowded Dharavi slum.
