In June, I was in Dharavi conducting preliminary research through interviews and data collection. I would love to correspond with both you on your thoughts about the Redevelopment Project that the government is trying to push onto the people of Dharavi. Please contact me at the email address arjun.maniyar@gmail.com Thank you, Arjun Maniyar Rahul and Matias,
