Lanes in slums are narrow. A single room is called a house. Roof and ceiling is of wood or sacks. These would have common latrines, common water taps and stinking open drains. Area is prone to floods. More than 10 people live in a room. Children play along open drains. The whole area is prone to spread of disease. People live in constant fear of colony getting bulldogged. People live with their religious and political interests. Still the people at slums are cheerful. Slums typically grow around factories and railway station. Dharavi is biggest slum in Asia. Resettlement colonies are built very far so people do not shift.
