Mumbai

India's financial capital and most populous city, built on a peninsula on the western Konkan coast. Mumbai is where Bollywood was born, where Dharavi became one of the world's most studied informal economies, and where extreme wealth and extreme poverty share the same postal codes. The city absorbs millions of migrants from across India and processes them into something distinctly its own -- a chaotic, relentless, generative urban engine. Its local train network moves eight million people a day. It is simultaneously a city of dreams and a city that tests exactly how badly you want them.
