message: According to Time Asia (link in footnote 5 on the article page) and this Reuters reporter http://www.livemint.com/2007/07/06003616/Shantytowns-emerge-targets-fo.html the size of the area is 216,5 hectares, not 175. 84.177.106.15 (talk) 14:18, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: it is still the largest like the person above has pointed out according to bbc. since there are many slums in asia, the sentence will just be left as one of the largest. HannibalLecter5 (talk) 00:01, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Comparative slums 

message: IMO this map is totally useless, since the graphics on it are not explained. Even the hyperlink pointing to Jaon Davis does not explain what the brown and yellow circles mean, also it is unclear what the circles itself are (Slums, yes, but where, for example, is AN?). I suggest to remove that map...

message: I don't have a better source on size but these sentences at the begining of the article are hard to parse and don't seem to be internally consistent:
*Dharavi has an area of just over 2.1 square kilometres (0.81 sq mi; 520 acres)[3] and a population of about 700,000. With a population density of over 277,136/km2 (717,780/sq mi), Dharavi is one of the most densely populated areas in the world.

message: Photos of the area show no power cables. So does it have electricity? This is particularly intriguing, when those same photos show a satellite TV dish on about every 10th building. 2001:8003:E490:7D01:611D:F654:E641:D137 (talk) 07:13, 30 November 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Electricity? 

message: Not sure how legal or appropriate this is, but the following story is copied directly from a CNN article today (30th November 2022):
The real estate unit of Indian billionaire Gautam Adani’s Adani Enterprises has won the right to redevelop India’s largest slum, Mumbai’s Dharavi neighborhood, with a 50 billion rupee ($612 million) bid, a state official said on Tuesday. Believed to be the largest slum in Asia, Dharavi is a crowded area that houses thousands of poor families in cramped quarters in the center of India’s financial capital. Many residents have no access to running water or clean toilets.
The redevelopment was first mooted in the 1980s as a way to develop valuable land while providing proper housing to those living there.
Adani’s winning bid of 50 billion rupees was more than double that of real estate group DLF, which bid 20 billion rupees ($244.87 million), said SVR Srinivas, CEO of the Dharavi Redevelopment Project, a government enterprise in the western state of Maharashtra.
“It will be a township - a city within a city, with mixed land use, both commercial and residential,” Srinivas told Reuters, describing the redevelopment, which will cover 625 acres (253 hectares) as “the world’s largest urban renewal scheme.”
It is the latest mega-project taken on by ports-to-energy conglomerate Adani Enterprises, which already supplies electricity in Mumbai through listed unit Adani Transmission Ltd.
...
The redevelopment of Dharavi will be the fourth project Adani Realty has taken on in Mumbai and the 24th across four cities, according to its website. 2001:8003:E490:7D01:611D:F654:E641:D137 (talk) 07:17, 30 November 2022 (UTC)
