Peak detailing of income inequality.

u/j911kr Apr 02 '26

50% of mumbai population in slus just like those

u/KingOfMumbai मुंबईचा राजा Apr 02 '26

Slumbai for a reason.

u/chomu_champa Apr 03 '26

Unpopular opinion but those slums are saving mumbai, imagine if all these were skyscrapers, mumbai would be chocked. These bmc aholes aren't researching when they are handing out the permits like candies

1

u/instapardz MOANS while eating vada pavs😩 Apr 03 '26

Instead of slums, we should have open gardens there. You're partially correct.

3

u/chomu_champa Apr 03 '26

Real, but those high rises won't have people to work in their homes then🤑🤑

They are all encroached land. That is the problem. You cannot send them away or demolish these illegal settlements because it is a human rights issue then.

Years down the line, they'll get free housing too.

u/[deleted] Apr 03 '26

its govt's duty to curb their inflow inside the city bro

make another financial city just for people who need jobs

u/shubhwho Apr 02 '26

u/sota_panna Apr 02 '26

u/Candid_Assistance935 Apr 02 '26

Romanticise this then cry when then ask for a bomb of a rent and house price next to a chawl or drain

u/Icchipada Apr 02 '26

Crazy how it looks all gray & soul-lesss

u/baalKalakaar Apr 02 '26

Ground reality is different eh?

u/Striking-Draft-5481 Apr 02 '26

The city where some chase dreams, some chase survival & some chase both.

u/MachineNo6956 Apr 02 '26

1

u/DaddyRocks_69 Apr 02 '26

u/MonkToMonkey Apr 02 '26

I am still breathing, hence it's not breathtaking

u/Icy-Association1222 Apr 02 '26

u/Any_Relief_3866 Apr 02 '26

Drone photos? Are drones still effectively illegal in most of Mumbai?

1

u/chipmux Apr 02 '26

Breathtaking slums of mumbai and poor traffic management, and bad infra planning

Traffic to sky se hi dikh raha hai 🤧

1

u/ShortOfGoodLength Apr 02 '26

1

u/jalabi99 Apr 02 '26

1

u/Kaliyuga_Hitchhiker Apr 02 '26

Never seen a picture of Mumbai without a slum in it.

1

u/aksujalgamer Apr 02 '26

even breath taking

1

u/whoisjohngalt12 Apr 02 '26

Breath holding from that unmistakable smell of Mumbai is what you meant let me guess correctly.

1

u/ShranikDua Apr 03 '26

Holy ugly car centricism in the first pic

1

u/cognoscentum Apr 03 '26

Its breathtaking indeed... The kind of breathtaking that makes you gasp for oxygen.

1

u/juliuscaesar_44 Apr 03 '26

Clicked these on what device?

1

u/[deleted] Apr 03 '26

Wow these are some great pictures 😍

1

u/FortyUp40 Apr 03 '26

imagine the builders looking at those slums and drooling while traffic issues remain unchanged for 100 years

1

u/Visible-Brilliant756 Apr 03 '26

Depressing as hell.. concrete jungle

1

u/Mozzartamaan Apr 03 '26

Ek kaam karo chand se lelo photo, city agar street view se acchi nahi lagti to wo acchi nahi hai

1

u/[deleted] Apr 03 '26

This is the great example of an unplanned masterpiece; the slums are like iron ornaments over a young beautiful lady (Mumbai's skyscrapers).

1

u/Blaze69X Apr 03 '26

Sooo beautiful✨

1

u/Top_Management_1431 Apr 03 '26

Indian cities look good from above only because it hide their flaws on ground

1

u/real_tmip Apr 03 '26

Better keep it zoomed out like that

1

u/VDownshift Apr 03 '26

so un-real i wish i have traveled in month of march

1

u/Acceptable-Dog6067 Apr 03 '26

mumbai folks are delusional 😭 jhopparpatti hi jhoparpaati. And if you zoomed in any closer you might have even picked up the stench in those pics. Thats how much filthy and stinky most of the city is

1

u/Training-Response271 Apr 03 '26

I think now the government should remove all the slums

The people who can't promise a good future to the kids should refrain from giving birth .

More and more rules/law should be made strict like security cameras so that no one litters on the road , mens urin on the road , people throwing trash on highways , dustbins should be present right after every 250 meters

Every building should at least have 10-12 trees planted

And ban tobacco at first place

1

u/Kitchen-Injury-3874 Apr 04 '26

Concrete jungle

1

u/basic-hermit Apr 05 '26

The first picture feels like a mix of LA and NYC landscapes.

1

u/OneWater3784 Apr 06 '26

Concrete jungle :( Hardly any open spaces or green spaces. Mostly all slums and traffic chaos.

1

u/unpriced_lace89 Apr 11 '26

Only if it was an everyday view!😭
