Resettling the City: Discriminatory Planning and Environmental Deregulation in Mumbai
This article aims to unravel a paradox: how does a city that aspires to be ‘slum free’ produce rehabilitation and resettlement schemes that formal definitions of a ‘slum’ ought to have rendered unacceptable? This article argues that the rehabilitation townships built in Mumbai in recent decades are an outcome of the city’s unique discriminatory and differentiated (de)regulatory planning regime. By highlighting shifts in planning discourse and practice, it explains this paradox as a convergence of three recent trends: a reconceptualization of the ‘slum,’ from its earlier focus on physical conditions towards legal status and aesthetic criteria; the characterization of public intervention and regulation in housing as a constraint on market activity; and a recalibration of planning as essentially the design of monetizable ‘incentives’ and regulatory ‘relaxations’ to enable the private sector to deliver development goals.
