Dwell: Mumbai Mixed Housing | Architecture Competitions
INTRODUTION
In 2008, for the first time in human history, the urban population surpassed the rural population worldwide; an additional 3 million people make the move each week.
The need to house more people in less space is a global challenge that navigates conflicts between profit and affordability, development and displacement, and private versus public interests.
Mixed-income housing strives to address these contradictions by accommodating various combinations of spatial, financial, and social needs with integrative strategies.
Earlier attempts at social housing, such as the western public housing projects of the 1950s and 60s, failed in part due to geographic and social segregation.
lnclusionary zoning, central to successful mixed-income housing developments, fosters social integration in economically diverse populations at the urban scale.
The housing crisis in Mumbai can be seen most clearly in the proliferation of slums, which house an estimated 62% of those in the city proper.
Currently the City of Mumbai relies on private-public partnership (PPP) models for slum rehabilitation, providing government land to developers at minimal cost in exchange for in-situ high-density towers that house the displaced.
In practice, these towers are plagued with severe problems that include cramped living quarters, insufficient amenities and open space, disregard for pre-existing modes of social interaction, shoddy construction and maintenance, and reinforced segregation from adjacent luxury towers.
DWELL seeks a more inclusive approach to development in the megacity, that brings together socio-economically disparate constituents in both the private and public realms.
Through what strategies can architecture create places where al/residents have a feeling of belonging and ownership
