Abstract: The project “R-Dharavi: Building a World-Class Model for Slum Redevelopment” examines Dharavi, one of Mumbai’s largest slums, and explores strategies for transforming it into a sustainable urban hub. It begins with *Dharavi Story*, detailing the area’s historical and socio-economic evolution. The second section, *Makeover or Takeover?*, critiques large-scale redevelopment efforts, questioning their impact on local residents. The final section, *An Alternative Strategy*, advocates for a community-driven approach that preserves Dharavi’s culture and ensures long-term sustainability. The project highlights the need for ethical urban planning that balances economic development with social equity, aiming to set a global redevelopment precedent.
