Okhla, Delhi,
Okhla doesn’t have a clear urban structure because it has been growing along the me according to diff erent needs, specially to solve housing requirements without planning. It is composed of diff erent neighbourhoods that we un-derstand as independent bubbles isolated by urban gaps. In the last 40 years, the neighbourhoods have grown around rural preexis ng villages, colonizing the area from north to south with very high density.
The growth mechanism of Okhla is similar to the rest of Delhi. It is based in 3 types of se lements: villages, planned areas and unauthorized areas.1st - Consolida on and legaliza on of the villages by defi -ning them with boundaries.2nd - Planned growth with closed condominiums of hou-sing outside the villages.3rd - Non authorized areas that give services to planifi ed areas (domes c services, shops, drivers, …) and to receive migrant people. We also iden fy other isolated areas, the slums, placed in the most disadvantaged and vulnerable areas.
In the ancient mes, Okhla was a rural area where there exist 3 villages (Jogabai, Okhla Head and Jasola). Since Agra Canal was built in 1824, agriculture was developed further. In 1920 muslim University, Jamia Millia Islamia is established near Okhla Head (we s ll perceiving the old path that entered the village). The university has been a key element since its beginnings ll now. It has been the growth catalyst of Okhla. The popula on has quickly changed from rural to urban, losing the original ac vi es and giving way to the rapid construc on of unauthorized and unplanned neighborhoods.
is a neighbourhood of the district of
South Delhi with 500.000 habitants. The majority of
the population are muslim coming from rural areas.
In India, Muslims are considered a minor religion and
in some cases are discriminated, having problems to
establish themselves in non-Muslim neighborhoods.
Their inhabitants hardly go out of the area,
becoming a closed ghetto in the city. Moreover, most
of the settlements are unauthorised and corrupt,
having gaps in infrastructures and services.
In this context, women suffer freedom restrictions
under “religious laws” and also gender violence and
harassment. According to social workers in the area
70% of women suffer domestic violence.

Once the basic housing needs are satisfi ed there
is no public inversion in equipments and services and when there are they are private. These ones
does not restructure the neighbourhoods because there are not planned according to needs, distance
and use. The most visible equipments are the schools, despite being insuffi cient. And the temples and
mosques, where women are not always welcome. There are not equipments and spaces for community
use as squares, parks, cultural centers, centers for elder people… At the same time, women centers
managed by NGOs as Cequin, Muslim Women’s Forum and Jamia Millia Islamia, are being consolidated.
There is no connection between them to serve women and community. One of the gaps is the lack of
open space or public space for women linked to centers and their activities.
