Dharavi not Asia's largest slum: Report

Mumbai: Dharavi, a congested slum located in the heart of India's financial capital Mumbai, said to be the largest slum in Asia, is actually not, a report by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) claims.

"Dharavi is not Asia's largest slum, but Karachi's Orangi Township has surpassed it," the Human Development Report for Mumbai, compiled with the help of UNDP and released by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), said.
Dharavi not Asia's largest slum: Report


Orangi Town (Urdu: اُورنگی ٹاؤ&#1606 is a town in the northwestern part of Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan. It is bordered by New Karachi Town to the north across the Shahrah-e-Zahid Hussain, Gulberg Town to the east across the Gujjar Nala stream, Liaquatabad Town to the south, and SITE Town to the west. The township is currently the largest slum in South Asia, after surpassing the size of Dharavi in Mumbai, India, although while Orangi is approximately 22 square miles (57 km2) in area, Dharavi is less than one square mile. [1], making Orangi far less dense.[2][3] Further, Orangi comprises several new developed middle class areas and housing-societies which are still considered slums for statistical purposes[citation needed] because they lack the basic facilities that are provided to most homes, although strictly speaking, they are not slums certain shantys in dharavi have acces to running water and is connected to the sewage system. The modern buildings that are coming up in Dharavi have running water and flushes something that is absent in orangi town.

now what you wish to say? still calling a whole city a slum

Are'nt you comparing apples with oranges ?

Green means environmentally friendly.

Least green city is not the same thing as DIRTY, GENIUS.

A city can be low on green index and yet not be DIRTY.

Where did you learn your English. I hope not in a Mumbai SLUM.

What insulting I said, Karachi is infact the largest slum in Asia. 45% land area in Karachi is covered by Slums If you want proof, I can even provide that.

Please Read this Articles
Daily Times - Leading News Resource of Pakistan

see this image below, half of the Pakistan's Urban population lived in Slums as compared to 29.1% for China and 29.2% in India.

And claim for Karachi being Asia's largest slum see this.

lol what a r3t@rd, 27.5 % is not half of Pakistan population you dumb.

BTW watch those pictures of Orangi with world largest slum mumbay.

[nalandapride]

lol what a r3t@rd, 27.5 % is not half of Pakistan population you dumb.

BTW watch those pictures of Orangi with world largest slum mumbay.

Again look at the picture I provided you, 27.5 million half of Pakistanis Urban population, not total population.

Look at the Red bar, for Pakistan its somewhere between 45-50% and it is 29.1% for China and 29.2% for India.
