Dharavi, one of Mumbai's most densely populated and economically vibrant areas, is set for significant changes with upcoming redevelopment. However, a digital twin has been developed to help preserve the settlement's legacy before it undergoes transformation. [1] The digital twin project aims to create an accurate 3D model of Dharavi, which will serve as a reference point during construction and ensure that the original features are not lost in the process. This initiative is part of efforts to balance urban development with preservation of cultural heritage. [2] Critics argue that this approach could be seen as a way to maintain the slum's image without addressing its underlying issues, such as poverty and overcrowding. They suggest that the digital twin might distract from the need for more fundamental changes in Dharavi’s living conditions.
