Would it be possible for Matias to post displayable versions of the second and maybe third of these that don't rely on specific proprietary programs? I don't have access to AutoCAD or Adobe Illustrator, which I think these use. PDFs or simple image files would be very much appreciated.
It's heartening to see the effort going into this site.
Hi John, that's all we have for now, but I know there are better maps available out there. SPARC must have an updated map of Dharavi since they just completed a survey. I will ask them whether they agree to share it with the rest of the world. If you find other maps, don't forget to upload them here so other people can use them. thanks
I've managed to convert the .dwg file into a normal JPEG image, and have uploaded it. Most of the smaller captions on the map are too tiny to read on a normal printout, but they can be seen fine with image viewing software.
I'm puzzled, though, at the caption "90 Feet Road" for the road running along the top of the nagar numbered 1 (top left). I thought 90 Feet Road was the one to the West of Kumbharwada (separating nagars 5 and 9 from nagars 3 and 4 on this map).
