the center there is 1 square mile area that is different. This is the slum called Dharavi. To the unknown eye‚ Dharavi is a dirty poor district that has nothing to give to the community.

In Planet of Slums‚ Davis discusses the roots of slums in relation to urban poverty in the post-modern era as well as its social‚ political‚ economical and ecological consequences. This essay might ring a bell to many as a duplication of the famous UN-HABITAT’s report in 2003 on the challenge of slums; however in my opinion‚ what Davis is attempting to do here is an exploration to the roots of urban poverty on a global scale rather than within local state governance‚ and also with references to the
