Slums and palaces, Bollywood and beaches, Mumbai is a city unlike any other. Bursting at the seams with people, Mumbai somehow still manages to offer its population quiet and beautiful places where they can escape from the noise and traffic. The business and financial heart of India, Mumbai has expensive real estate alongside one of the largest slum areas in the world.
The world’s great cities are more than just interesting places to visit. They are also centres of business, government and culture. While all big cities face similar challenges in providing services for their inhabitants, it is each city’s unique features that we all long to explore if we are ever lucky enough to travel there.
