INDIA. Mumbai. 2006. A business for recycling tin cans mainly used for cooking oil). The workers clean the cans, repair any leaks or dents, and reconstitute them for sale back to the oil factories. The BBC has estimated that the thousands of small businesses in Dhraavi add up to a yearly economic output of up to a billion dollars per year. Dharavi is one of Mumbai's biggest and longest standing slums. Home to somewhere between 600 000 and one million people, it is a beehive of recycling and manufacturing industries. However, Dharavi sits on prime real estate right in the heart of the booming megapolis, and is in close vicinity to the new Bandra-Kurla Complex, a new financial hub. Dharavi is now scheduled for redevelopment, meaning everything in the slum, for good and bad, is set to be demolished.
