#NewCatchInTown, created by The Ministry of Mumbai’s Magic together with the TAPESTRY project and Bombay 61, shows a co-created solution from Mumbai’s oldest communities that has the potential to remove 5000kgs of rubbish every month from Mumbai’s creeks.
A detailed report elaborates on the participatory process through which this community-led and innovative solution evolved. It also shares recommendations focusing on introducing the goal of a clean and healthy creek as an agenda for the civic authorities, recognition of the role of the indigenous community and re-classification of nallahs as creeks, scaling up and proper implementation of the Net Filters Installation through multi-stakeholder collaboration, and stringent laws for sewage disposal.
