The Dharavi redevelopment initiative aims to provide better quality of life for residents while preserving the area?s cultural and historical significance.

Overall, the completion of the survey is a crucial step towards realizing the vision of a revamped Dharavi, making it a model of urban redevelopment and a significant development for Mumbai.
