Welcome to Dharavi, the world's most infamous slum. It's not what you think. This isn't a story about passive victims; it's a look inside a vibrant, unregulated economic powerhouse built on top of a sanitation nightmare. This book uncovers the hidden logic of the "slum planet." Discover how a community born from garbage became prime real estate, why its billion-dollar economy can't lift its residents from poverty, and what its existence tells us about the future of cities everywhere. This is the story of how the dispossessed build our world, only to be cleared away when the land they stand on becomes too valuable.
