Delivery as Dispossession
Spatializing stigma-power
In disadvantaged neighborhoods such as informal settlements (or “slums” in the Indian context), infrastructural deficits and social conditions have been associated with residents’ poor mental health. Within social determinants of health framework, spatial stigma, or negative portrayal and stereotyping of particular neighborhoods, has been identified as a contributor to health deficits, but remains under-examined in public health research and may …
Historicising Housing Rights
This article traces the historical roots of contemporary housing struggles in Mumbai, Delhi and Kolkata, emphasising the long-term impacts of post-Partition refugee resettlement. Analysing Partition as a ‘critical event’, we discuss the distinct ways in which local administrators, political leaders and city residents responded to the arrival of hundreds of thousands of refugees, traumatised, impoverished and made homeless by Partition. As they re…
Grounding urban production
Mumbai's slum redevelopment projects have emerged as key sites for financial investment. Yet, while residents' claims-making has shaped the manner in which slum lands have been converted into financial investments, their interests and actions have rarely been viewed as part of the financialization processes. This paper situates local residents and developers in the networks of intermediaries increasingly used to study housing financialization. Ba…
Resilient Growth
Academic and policy literatures on urban climate resilience tend to emphasize 'good planning' as the primary means for addressing the growing risk of flooding in Asia's coastal megacities. Cities have come to rely on disaster and climate resilience plans to future-proof their landscapes and protect vulnerable populations. Yet while data is collected, models are built and plans are drafted, environmentally destructive development practices continu…
Insecurity as confinement
A growing literature on contested urban politics has revealed the political agency of seemingly marginal urban residents, including those experiencing the threat of eviction. Yet with much of this work highlighting single instances of successful resistance, the agency of informal urbanites can be overstated and much of what is understood as resistance may actually be confinement. This article addresses this issue by situating an ethnographic anal…
Street Corner Secrets
One-Man Handled
This article considers the fractured nature of state power in contemporary Mumbai. Based on a case study of the ongoing Dharavi Redevelopment Project, a 2-billion US dollar initiative to redevelop Mumbai's most infamous 'slum' settlement as a mixed-use, mixed-income township, it details the new state strategies emerging to support urban development efforts in India today. Identifying the structural weaknesses that have traditionally hindered deve…
Demolition and Dispossession
Democracy in the Globalizing Indian City
Transformations under way in Indian cities have begun to alter the opportunities for democratic participation among the urban poor. Highlighting efforts to promote globally oriented urban developments in Mumbai, this article examines the state's engagement with groups directly impacted by these efforts. Based on ethnographic research and interviews with key stakeholders in the Dharavi Redevelopment Project (DRP), the article traces the character …
Mumbai's Development Mafias
For over a decade, researchers have analyzed the effects of liberalization and globalization on urban development, considering the local political implications of shifts at the national and global scales. Taking the case of Mumbai, this article examines how the past 15 years of political reforms in India have reshaped property markets and the politics of land development. Among the newly empowered actors, local criminal syndicates, often with glo…
