Abstract
In India's financial capital, Mumbai, the informal settlement known as Dharavi is home to nearly 2 million
people who are packed into small and crowded living settlements. Dharavi's people both live and work within
the confines of this neighborhood. The settlement has developed an illegal recycling industry that feeds its
economy. The thousands of recycling industries in Dharavi coupled with the numerous textile industries account
for nearly 1 billion dollars of annual revenue. These industries are housed in informally constructed industrial
buildings in the 13 Compound of Dharavi.
This thesis project strategizes incorporating a formal system that can work with the existing informal
recycling system to help the community to repair the areas of the neighborhood that have deteriorated due to
a lack of a proper waste management system.
