Shivaji Nagar, Mumbai
Homegrown cities

This experiment in affordable housing led to the co-designing and construction of a small house in Shivaji Nagar, in Govandi. A neighbourhood in Mumbai that is struggling against all odds to keep growing and improving.

urbz has been involved with the heritage precinct of Khotachiwadi for nearly a decade. We have organized many events workshops there and produced a strategic plan for the area among other things.

urbz invited local builders from Dharavi to design the best possible house they could imagine. These designs were translated into physical models by artisans.
