8. Historically, slums have grown in Bombay as a response to
a growth of population far beyond the capacity of existing
housing.
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.
Today slum dwellers make up 60% of Mumbai's population,
that is approximately 7 million people.

10. Slums in London were known as ‘Rookery’ and were usually over-
crowded areas of poor quality housing with little or no running
water and sanitation
Slum areas were a matter of concern to many in the mid- to late-
Victorian period.
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.

12. • Mumbai experiences similar urbanization challenges as
other fast growing cities in developing countries: wide
disparities in housing between the affluent, middle-income
and low-income segments of the population.
• Despite the ongoing economic boom there is still poverty,
unemployment and poor housing conditions for a section
of the population.
13. 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.
Slum growth rate in Mumbai is greater than the general urban
growth rate.
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
14. However, London's continuous urban area extends
beyond the borders of Greater London and was home to
8,278,251 people in 2001
There were an estimated 7,556,900 official residents
in Greater London as of mid-2007.
Comparing the number of rooms with the number of
occupants gives a picture of overcrowded households in
London
London has by far the highest proportion of
overcrowded households in England at 17 per cent.
