Slums in Mumbai, India. Most urban cities in India have slums as housing is not affordable. Monthly paychecks are too low for the poor to afford housing and real estate in cities like Mumbai is very costly, competing with the major cities of the world. There is talk of slum re-development but in many cases the builders and politicians take the pickings and residential skyscrapers become glorified slums.
