Why is Mumbai unlivable? | Real Deal | Zoru Bhathena with Vishal Bhargava | Podcast |
In this episode of the Real Deal, I talk to the high-profile citizen activist of Mumbai - Zoru Bhathena.
He is the perpetual thorn in governing bodies of India’s commercial capital.
Zoru speaks on the pervasive corruption that ensures Mumbai’s roads are built poorly and frequently. He views the suburb of Bandra as being the worst managed in Mumbai. He calls the slum redevelopment policy as one of the biggest scandals in the city. He believes slum redevelopment is not done keeping the slumdweller in mind.
He calls Dharavi Redevelopment a real estate project as government wants to displace people from Dharavi and relocate them elsewhere.
As a big opponent of the Metro Carshed in Aarey, he recounts his experience in dealing with the former Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis. He refers to the constant gobbling of plots meant for the public that are auctioned by the municipal corporation.
Hear him out.

    Don't agree with the point about Slum dwellers. Very few look at SRA as money making opportunity. 90% people really aspire to stay in a building apartment! Especially the young generation. So its a wrong assumption to begin with. I don't think there are many people who have sold their SRA apartment and started living back in slum to get another apartment to sell! People sell all the time, but nobody can do this as a business in single lifetime because slums can take decades to develop. Secondly you said your driver and other servants come from slum, so if they are moved to a building in Dahisar they wont come to do your work. This is not a nice view in my opinion. All people deserve to live in good condition. Just go to Dharavi and see, its unlivable place! Government for sure is making money, but its not of concern to common people, as long as they get a good life. Because Gov will continue making money no matter what. Its their basic function in our country! So common people have the right to be selfish and think for themselves rather than worrying about Governments.

    Zoru is an absolute legend. 95% of the time you can't argue with him coz he debates on facts , not opinion. As an individual, it's no small feat to be able to stand up to the plethora of sarkars and mafias that infest the cesspool that is Mumbai. Really, hats off to this guy for exposing all the issues of Mumbai since decades.

    I am an Architect, I have lived in a slum in Mumbai. Almost everyone wants redevelopment but not for better quality of life. Most of the people living there don't have the same ideas of quality of life and aesthetics as we have. They quite like the flexibility of the space, the autonomy of making changes to their individual units, the community. Many that I have studied have committees and function almost like housing societies. Also, its not just free housing really, a lot of these slum dwellers are second dwellers - have bought these houses paying almost 1/3rd the price of the apartments because the apartments are unaffordable to lower middle class Mumbaikars. All they want the redevelopment for is capital appreciation. Everyday conversations are "Price value of my house will increase after redevelopment" Converting these horizontal slums to vertical slums makes a profit for everyone, the slum dweller, the developer, and the local politicians. Sadly, nothing changes for the city.
