In the very first year of his architectural studies at the Sir J.J. College of Architecture in Mumbai, Das got associated with the self-help redevelopment project of ‘Jaffar Baba’ slums in Bandra, Mumbai which was planned and designed by Planner D.G.Parab (then with CIDCO) and led by ‘BUILD’ – an NGO. It involved the reconstruction of about 200 houses and a community center including restructuring the overall layout. [1]
PK Das is a an architect and activist known for a dispensation towards "proper planning" and engagement with various players including state and developers, regarding developments of housing and open spaces for the urban population.
He is part of the [Nivara Hakk] movement for rehousing displaced urban poor. Recently (2017) he has done a detailed slum mapping of Mumbai (file?) based on which he has made a recommendation for integrated development of slums, not in small pockets which the SRA method creates.
