We are pleased to share that Dhaval Parsana, founder of Project Maitree, was recently featured in Hindustan Times in an article discussing BMC’s latest push for slum redevelopment in Mumbai.
In the article, Mr. Parsana highlights the need for affordable rental housing as a long-term solution to prevent the resurgence of informal, poor-quality housing. The piece also reflects our broader perspective that effective redevelopment must strike a careful balance between housing seekers (residents), housing suppliers (developers), and housing promoters (ULBs and the State).
At Project Maitree, we believe that timely policy support and thoughtful incentives are essential to make large-scale redevelopment both viable and inclusive.

A truly inclusive redevelopment model must balance the aspirations of residents with the viability for developers and the vision of public agencies. Affordable rental housing is not just an option—it’s essential to prevent the cycle of informal housing from repeating itself.
