Abstract

Squatter settlements in a large percentage of the city are due to growing population and urban migration. To tackle this problem in India, Upgrading and Redevelopment have been two broad approaches with their own advocates. Assuming in-situ redevelopment as the most relevant existing approach to face slum settlements, it has caused additional problems, which should be addressed. These problems have been revealed during site survey and archival research. Considering the architect as a design factor with a limited amount of authority to change existing policies, how can the architect redefine the existing solution of in-situ redevelopment schemes in order to contribute to major developments? To what extent/How can an in-situ redevelopment scheme be used to generate an inclusive urban space? The design hypothesis is tested on an area of slum settlements in close proximity with many low-rise, high-density blocks in the North of Mumbai.
