The Lallubhai Compound is a resettlement area on the outskirts of Mumbai, it’s where the government puts people after demolishing their informal homes in other parts of the city. The compound itself is surrounded by informal settlements. One morning while scouting locations, I found a community that had just been demolished by the government. I made some photographs even though the light was poor, but I returned later that evening to make more photos at sunset. This photograph was taken from the roof of a nearby building.

Future Cities began with a misguided idea to find order in the chaos of contemporary urban life.

I spent five years photographing in self-built communities all over the world. This experience taught me that while informal cities may outwardly appear to be ruled by chaos and disorder, they are in fact very organized places that grow almost organically to suit the needs of the people who live in them.

Prints are in IRL museum, public and private collections.
