🚨 Slums occupy 24% of Mumbai’s land and house over 50% population.

@IndianTechGuide Hey @grok why mumbai has so much slums

@IndianTechGuide Imagine paying ₹1.5 Crore for a 1BHK just to have your balcony overlook a slum that holds half the city's population?? That's real estate scam of the century.

@IndianTechGuide People will blame slums before asking why legal housing costs 30 years of salary 😭

@IndianTechGuide @grok what’s the population of Mumbai and how big is the land size?

@IndianTechGuide a city where more than half the population lives in slums cannot call itself “developed” just because of skyscrapers and billion-dollar projects. real development is when normal people can also afford a dignified life.

@IndianTechGuide What did Ambani and Adani do for the slum? Just built airports

@IndianTechGuide Media should show this facts and good you brought this... It's a reminder that ,this is also a part of our country and they also need development, good infra , better facilities... anything but not slum... Instead of freebies ,make them stand and bring them out of poverty

@IndianTechGuide Slum redevelopment projects are just political vote bank tools Dharavi redevelopment ki baatein barso se chal rahi hain par implementation zero hai. Real estate mafia provides zero solutions

@IndianTechGuide Middle class pays taxes for years yet can’t afford a 1BHK or pet-friendly rent in Mumbai. Free SRA flats exist, but salaried taxpayers are ignored.

@IndianTechGuide Slums should be removed as they show a bad image 😔 of India

Result of unplanned development. This is not a Mumbai problem but a national problem. Come to NCR and see Delhi, Gurgaon is worse and Noida which was planned well and everything done right is reeling under unnecessary allocation of land to corporates, malls, etc which are made at places that were supposed to be empty lands, parks, paths to walk. Bangalore lakes are finished by the greed of ministers and real estate developers. Same goes with Hyderabad. First you finish off the lakes and then salvage the city with HYDRA. I am in Chandigarh presently. What Corbusier did to this city in 1950’s, in terms of designing, is visible even today - impeccably planned, proper walking paths, cycling paths, market spaces for each sector, parks to walk/ play, spacious roads and no traffic jams etc. Honest opinion: We have not taken many things seriously, the things that actually mattered - proper infrastructure, proper health facilities, administration, upgradation of local police and security, planned development etc. The concept of town planning/ planner has never been adopted in India post independence which is why the big metro cities infra looks hugely broken and unplanned.

@IndianTechGuide They should plan something like 9/11 to eradicate them without any problems

@IndianTechGuide Dharavi covers only about 2.1–2.4 sq km but houses roughly 700,000 to 1 million people.

@IndianTechGuide Can we say this is the outcome of corruption?

@IndianTechGuide Mumbai’s biggest challenge isn’t lack of space, but decades of uneven urban planning.

@IndianTechGuide what an absolute urban planning disaster. Mumbai runs on financial capital but survives on chaos.

@IndianTechGuide Mumbai: Where half the city lives in 24% of the land like it's a free DLC, and the other half drops 5 crores for a sea-view flat that stares directly into the slum. Peak Indian real estate's luxury with complimentary poverty porn 😂

@IndianTechGuide Not Slums but illegal Slums and now they think they are owners of these lands It take decades of saving and hard work to buy that area of Land to a Middle class They need to be cleaned

@IndianTechGuide The question is why people leaving their villages and towns decide to live in slums in horrific situations

@IndianTechGuide 24% of the land, 50% of the population. Mumbai’s real estate game is so elite that half the city survives in “temporary” settlements that have existed for generations.😅😂

@IndianTechGuide Most expensive real estate market in India. Most compressed human density in India. Both facts exist simultaneously.

@IndianTechGuide Mumbai can be renovated and slum dwellers be given proper habitation

@IndianTechGuide One city, two realities we need better living for everyone, not just growth

@IndianTechGuide Mumbai is basically running on “somehow it still works”

@IndianTechGuide Can't the government build houses for them sir? @CMOMaharashtra @Dev_Fadnavis @PMOIndia @narendramodi

@IndianTechGuide Half the city squeezed into 24% of the land and people still wonder why Mumbai feels like it’s bursting at the seams.

@IndianTechGuide They should form ‘Jhengur Janta party’ on Instagram and fight government.

@IndianTechGuide Illegal slums should be demolished. Earlier government didn’t take action for their vote bank. We have seen what @BJP4Mumbai did in Bandra. I am sure now our Mumbai will be slum free.

@IndianTechGuide Occupying the government land is illegal But staying for more than two or three decades is not their fault Actually the government is the main Reason. U off to arrange an alternate plan for them . U see Abroad small small towns are well Organized . Fell for the poor people

@IndianTechGuide And this is supposedly our FINANCIAL Capital, quite hilarious, when more than half the city doesn't even have access to proper private sanitation.

@IndianTechGuide We need some cleanup for our financial capital and to beautify this. Steps are being taken, but more steps are needed.

@IndianTechGuide Are they illegal immigration? Give the proper information please

@IndianTechGuide And honestly these slum people are running Mumbai local economy, my cousin bought a flat in Mumbai after living in slum for almost 8 years, mostly workers live here as they can't afford flats, and without workers existence of Mumbai can't possible.

@IndianTechGuide Only solution left is,sell this precious land to big real estate or Big corporate companies who badly want land here in super high prices,and from that money make high rise buildings where land is cheap and accommodate all of them.Mumbai will be slum free,poor brothers live good.

@IndianTechGuide And people from this shithole have the audacity to criticise Chennai. From the time you land in Mumbai and till you leave it, the city has a strong stench of human excrement.

@IndianTechGuide Over 50% of the population cramped into 24% of the land. This isn't sustainable by any metric. Mumbai desperately needs structural housing reforms, not just luxury high rises.
