Write about:

the consequences of the new development on Santacruz’s shanty town residents •

the impact on the area •

Urban transformation is going ahead in Mumbai (population 14 million) with plans to turn a shanty town into luxury apartment towers.

Santacruz, a 100 acre (40 hectares) plot of land near Mumbai’s airport, is being redeveloped by knocking down shacks typically built with tin and plastic sheets. They are being replaced by new apartments in towers serviced by high-speed elevators. Shanty town residents will be resettled in smaller apartments in separate buildings on part of the cleared land.

With India’s current economic boom, incomes are going up and demand for housing in a Mumbai suburb is rising fast. About 8 million people live in the shanty towns of greater Mumbai, more than the population of Switzerland.

A day without a Mexican (2004) is a dark comedy which provides a satirical commentary on

American society. As the plot goes, California awakes one morning to fi nd its entire Mexican and Latino population gone. Having been deprived of its gardeners, nannies, cooks, maids, construction crews and farm workers, nothing functions normally in the state. With one third of the population having mysteriously been transported elsewhere, things go from bad to worse. Rubbish soon piles up on the streets which once seemed to have been cleaned with a toothbrush. In just a few weeks, California seems to have stopped functioning altogether. Returning to the way things used to be and recovering the Latino workforce becomes the only priority. The general mood is that what seems to have been taken away is the “California Dream” itself. Even the marketing of the fi lm A Day Without

a Mexican stirred some controversy. Some immigrant rights groups appeared to have been offended

by promotional billboards reading “On May 14th, there will be no Mexicans in California”. They believed it was a genuine anti-immigration slogan.
