Abstract
América Latina e India comparten una historia común experimentando para mejorar los barrios informales pobres (o barriadas) y explorando estrategias para la construcción progresiva. Las ideas de F. C. Turner, quien recolectó información durante años de trabajo en Lima, han inspirado especialmente algunos de los planes y proyectos más progresivos en Bombay y otras partes de India. Este ensayo revisa aspectos destacados de la historia de las viviendas sociales en Bombay. Luego, describe la teoría que hay detrás del proyecto de URBZ denominado “Homegrown Cities” (“Ciudades auto-construidas”), y lo ubica dentro del contexto más amplio de las ideas de Turner y los proyectos realizados por arquitectos indios como B. V. Doshi y Charles Correa.
