But this is not a usual slum, this is a city in itself with a population of over 1 million, more than 7 schools, over 1500 single room factories, public and private hospitals, playgrounds, theatres, etc all congregated in an area of nearly 2.7 sqkms.

Kumbharwada is a pottery village in Dharavi formed by migrant communities from Gujarat in the late 19th century. These migrant families brought to Mumbai their age-old traditions and skills and made pottery one of the most famous local crafts of Dharavi. To sustain their craft and tradition, families have worked together and created spaces that can facilitate their skills. The focus of this post is to understand the various stages involved in creating the pots and other products at Kumbharwada, and how each step in the process affects the usage and characteristics of the spaces around.
