Abstract
By tackling the relationship between state, market and politician, researchers present a plea to policy makers to dismantle the practice of redevelopment as it is currently undertaken. State-led evictions continue, and the new redevelopment scheme in Mumbai has left cycles of inequality and vulnerability, resulting in a restructured geography of the city, producing ghetto-like areas, particularly for the most marginalized. Today, more than half of Mumbai’s population lives in precarious conditions and there is a need for State responsibility to perform a far more active, committed role in inclusive city planning.
