a lot of slim slums left to be dead. ah mon, by is a city both hungry for success and struggling for survival. for many, this mega city is the embodiment of the indian dream. ah, moon, by india's economic and financial center. over 20000000 people live here. traffic dams sometimes stretching for kilometers, spring city light to a standstill. millions commute by train every day. however, the city's railway system only has 4 lines. during the rush hour stations become very crowded

ah, poverty is everywhere, but the robbie's locals have adapted to these conditions, developing their own infrastructure. ah, these workers use the limited space, they have to disassemble cars and tiny workshops, or tailor clothes going just a little farther. mahash is 27th and grew up in de robbie. this morning he receives valuable goods, plastic canisters, i think a little i. mahash makes his living from the waist, plastic of the megacity for which area is or mom by used to be really fell

the noise is incessant. but for those living above the city, there is only silence. when you can afford a penthouse high atop a skyscraper, you get peace and quiet. ah, good morning. that's good for london. babylon pharma is a building contractor. he lives in this 250 square meter luxury apartment with his wife and 2 children, have time to eat. the domestic staff served breakfast every morning, some st facing each other. talk a little bit. babylon pharma is originally from rochester and northern india. he settled and mom by in the early 2, thousands like of such is my family business. so my father,

my 4 father, there's a history, i think we are, we are in this business from last under the us. so the, if you will go in the design, you can see the big palace is so that made by my great great grandfather and how and why did you decide yourself from 2 ways, a growing city and a we all want to grow and is a, i think the opportunity will be, is huge. the entrepreneur built his 1st residential tower in 2003. today, he is involved in countless construction projects across mom by i know he takes time over to the se, mentally. we are losing a lot of high rise buildings, i think and as a group with my partner. so we are going to fight with being more than 50 story

according to you. is it the message to been the higher? yeah, it is unassisted because we almost spacing moon by i told you the other piece i did some water. so if you wanted to grow the city, the population is increasing every day. then you know, other than wait to walk on in. ah, in order to create more space, the entrepreneur is taking a radical approach, tearing down hundreds of hector's, of the slums. wow, so just we're starting demolishing this. it is pushing to the place. definitely come after one year, boyer later the builder for building will be here. mm. his goal is to make the door robbie slum disappear. so i think a viola lost the about the thought of the slum dog millionaire. it is hot in the city. busy oh, if your heart is a little bit more love and love,

it looks like a day. then you will not as a city, it look live in look life ah, the headquarters of the construction company with its 800 employees. it is one of the largest companies in india to specialize in slum rehabilitation. mm. folk is to follow valley sales to via hotel blue. today they are discussing one of their biggest projects for the just like i said, this is up and running are below the top part is still missing. everything else is ready for my district to really have out of luck with up and off. that was the school is a problem. we have to take care of that. but before construction work can begin, the company must convince local de robbie residents to leave their homes. great

labor in the process of clearing out $65.00, hank tans of this land. on our mixers project, we will build shopping centers small. busy offices and apartments in that place and i it in map we are said it'll be the one man out order. hundreds of actors of slums in total have already been demolished. discuss a little our compensation was interesting, but we're not finished yet. okay. ah, life protected from the outside world, murat, do par, is managing director of the construction company. oh, so what i'm looking at is how much of the 80 of your been able to clean up and how much is to left? there's a lot left. so if it says a beautiful view, you still have a lot of slender slums left to be good. however, the developers are required by law to find

a new homes for the former slum residence. basically it's a scheme whereby you basically want um, the sum of people, the good papa houses were built proper hoses for them and do you have listed then when those houses? so what happens is, and linda land, you have some houses with submitted for them, and some houses you build and said, so that is all poor people, good houses for free, and by law, the remaining part of the land you are able to make houses. and so what do these apartments look like? the company has another redevelopment project and burly a neighborhood in the heart of man. ready by 3 luxury towers, 250 meters high. ah, meanwhile, the former slum residence down below live in cramped, dilapidated properties with only a few square meters of space. ah,

no one can this 2nd them lego and got via by 1st we supported the developers bubble of armor and his colleague hamlet, but they have not treated us fairly. as i said, it's been 12 years or, and almost nothing has happened. we still don't have a road a garden. i don't know. it's unacceptable. is a cumbersome. despite the many promises made by developers, there are still no school rules or stores. only construction sites have been no one feels responsible. who should we turn to? very good guy reba. annoy suddenly own car, the companies press officer interrupts the interview with this satisfied residence airing their grievances are frowned upon. filming will only take place on the upper floor under the press officers watchful eye. when he chooses a family of 6 to live in to 29 square meter rooms free of charge,

i am assuming that the camera team would not understand him. the press officer tells the father of the family what to say on camera. oh yeah. yeah. what are you married? no, thanks. not for me. i'm diabetic. oh every say. when i was my son's age i grew up in a slum unit over with my parents. did the advanced to give me an education. and now i want a comfortable life for my children. i well yeah. now he's already. why did the man repeat what he's been told to say? huh. jimmy always hit when i was as young as my son. i lived in a slum today. we live in a nice apartment gone. thanks to own car i. life is better now. we live in a good neighborhood and my son will also have a good education america on payback jesse ali. oh, if you saw him, he wanted to be an engineer. ah,

but now he'd rather join the police nigger. ha ha. but not every family is given a flat like this. the prerequisite is having to have spent at least 20 years in a slum. but what happens to people who don't meet this requirement? they are sent to live in a housing project on the outskirts of town, like the one at la lou by compound. ah, 8000 families live in this very small area. and these crowded blocks of flats, even though they were built in 2003, they're already rundown. just outside the neighbourhood, waste water drains into an open sewer. ah,

in 2013 authorities leveled a section of de robbie. displacing 200 families living there, forcing them to relocate to these buildings. now abdulla and his family of 6 called this single room, home food and i have, i don't. well okay. then they destroyed our home. daniel, we were forced to come here their vanilla nickleby without he, i'm prepared when we got an eviction notice. doral, florida van brazza down. abdul ran a small store in de robbie. today he works as a courier and earns only half as much as he used to them and for day we don't feel as comfortable here as we did in dorothy this family of scrap dealers, missus. their old neighbourhood,

2 or 3 generations share this 29 square meter home. this is where our family lives. this is our room, and these are, are things we're done with. her sardar is furious at the authorities. i have 9 kids now. bob here and my parents, my brother and his wife altogether that 1617 people. i mean, how can we live in a place like this? so on and where do you all sleep? okay, so with 70 percent of us sleep under the bed and any others on the bed in the kitchen where they space drug regular, it's not easy. puffery gave her enough, but renovating the slums doesn't put an end to the misery. it just moves it elsewhere. and january of 2021. there was a surprising turn of events, contractor, babylon, pharma is arrested for fraud and embezzlement. people
