Dharavi Redevelopment to Feature Wide, Interconnected Roads
Imagine a place called Dharavi, which has very narrow roads.
The plan is to make new roads that are wider and connect to each other every 125 meters.
Right now, it's hard to move around.
The new roads will help traffic flow better and make it easier to walk.
They will also have space for bikes and buses.
The goal is to make Dharavi a better place to live and do business, connecting it with the rest of Mumbai.
Dharavi's new road network will have streets every 125 meters.
Roads will be 9-12 meters wide.
Current roads are congested and have limited accessibility.
The new plan focuses on a high-density street grid.
The project aims to create a connected and inclusive neighborhood.
