8. ď Historically, slums have grown in Bombay as a response to
a growth of population far beyond the capacity of existing
housing.
ď Â Migrants are normally drawn to the city by the huge disparity
between urban and rural income levels. Usually the residents of
these densely populated enclaves live close to their place of
work.Â
ď Today slum dwellers make up 60% of Mumbai's population,
that is approximately 7 million people.

10. ď˝ Slums in London were known as âRookeryâ and were usually over-
crowded areas of poor quality housing with little or no running
water and sanitation
ď˝ Slum areas were a matter of concern to many in the mid- to late-
Victorian period.
ď˝ The worst slum of all Victorian east London was the Old Nichol.
This small patch was the final rung on the ladder down for some
6,000 people. The slums were cleared in the 1890s.
13. ď§ A large number of people in Mumbai live in informal housing or
slums. They cover only 6-8% of the city's land even though 42% of
the population lives in them.
ď§ Slum growth rate in Mumbai is greater than the general urban
growth rate.
ď§ Most of the remaining live in Chawls and footpaths. Chawls are
quintessentially Mumbai phenomenon of multi-storied tenements
typically a bit higher quality than slums
