This document summarizes a redevelopment plan for Kathputli Colony, the largest slum in Delhi, India. The colony is home to 2800 families of puppeteers, magicians, and other performers and is located on 5.2 hectares near a railway station. The plan would redevelop the area with modern apartments and workshops to support the residents' livelihoods in arts and crafts. Residents would be temporarily relocated to a transit camp while construction occurs. The redevelopment aims to provide hygienic living conditions, socio-economic upliftment, and make Delhi slum-free by formalizing the informal settlement.
