    I learned so much about Dharavi! This book challenges your preconceptions about slums. Some parts were a bit dry, but the overall message is powerful.

  2. Devvrat Upadhyay –

    A comprehensive study of Dharavi’s transformation. While informative, I found it difficult to follow at times. Worth reading but be prepared to engage actively.

  3. Md Shakeeb Asghar –

    An informative book, but the author’s tone felt a little detached at times. I wanted to feel more connected to the people of Dharavi.

    An important book that offers a new perspective on urban development. I especially appreciated the focus on community resilience.

    Excellent analysis, it’s very insightful, and the author’s research is comprehensive. I would highly recommend this book. A good understanding of urban planning is needed.

  6. Shubhayu Saha –

    A fascinating look at Dharavi. The book provides interesting insights, but sometimes gets bogged down in academic jargon. Overall, a good read for urban planning enthusiasts.

  7. Shahbaaz Khan –

    Insightful analysis of Dharavi’s unique economy and social structure. The book is well-researched, but could benefit from more personal stories.

  8. Rupashi Aggarwal –

    This book opened my eyes to the realities of life in Dharavi. Saglio-Yatzimirsky’s work is a must-read for anyone interested in urban studies.

  9. Kartik Singh –

    The book is insightful and challenges assumptions about urban poverty. I did find some sections to be repetitive. It still offers valuable perspectives.
