Abstract: This study explores Mumbai’s slum redevelopment strategy, which repositions informal settlers as key participants in urban transformation rather than as displaced encroachers. It examines the evolution of policy, local political dynamics, and financial mechanisms driving redevelopment, highlighting the conflicts between government, developers, and communities. The research also investigates the processes of demolition, reconstruction, and the economic frameworks sustaining these projects. By assessing Mumbai’s approach to urban governance and inequality, the study evaluates whether it truly empowers residents or merely restructures informality to benefit market-driven development. Detailed appendices and notes provide critical insights into the challenges and opportunities of the model.
