In this documentary, The larger questions we would like to ask are, what can the urban poor teach the middle-class west about sustainability in a future that may face shortages of the things that make such a comfortable lifestyle possible? How can we in the west take actions and make choices that enhance and not exacerbate the self-determination and lifestyles of the urban poor? Is happiness contingent of the trappings of consumerism? What makes the positive aspects of Dharavi a place that urban planners from around the world use as a model for studying sustainability for the urban poor? I recently read your book, Shadow Cities, and I was wondering if I could contact you directly to speak with you about your expiriences. Any feedback would be much appreciated.<br />You can reach me at hiarjun@yahoo.com<br />Thanks,<br />ArjunAPMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17618484788866899513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9738873.post-55778890418454284142009-06-13T03:14:13.450-04:002009-06-13T03:14:13.450-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.APMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17618484788866899513noreply@blogger.com
