In 2000, the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) appointed the Alliance to manage R&R for over 17,000 families living along railway tracks and roads. The largest urban resettlement project in the world outside of China, the MUTP resettlement was entirely community-led and force free, setting a precedent for relocation worldwide. |

SPARC has been involved in R&R processes since the early 2000s under the Mumbai Urban Infrastructure Project (MUIP), a road-widening project that affects over 35,000 slum and pavement households. |

Mumbai Airport Resettlement, 2002-3 |

Pavement Dwellers |
|
SPARC was established in1984 to address the plight of pavement dwellers, who were invisible in the eyes of the city and faced routine demolitions. Thanks to persistent advocacy and mobilization, the Government of Maharashtra (GOM) has not only placed pavement dwellers on par with slum dwellers in policy, but has also announced a special project to resettle them: MMRDA will offer 10,000 tenements specifically for pavement dwellers, to be resettled by SPARC. |
