\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tA city is a manifestation not only of who live in it, but it speaks about the social relationships, the inclusion and exclusion of diversities, the respect and disrespect of life styles, the resources and more importantly the division of resources, the presence or lack of collective(s) and their collective actions, the aspirations, the aesthetic values. \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tA city even though is about its people, its also about how the same people no matter what their social strata live and co-exsist with each other. \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMumbai is and will always be one of the most diverse cities in the world, an amalgamation and boiling plot of cultures, religions and classes, the city has grown from seven islands to the huge metropolis it is today due to the massive labour and work force that lives in dense pockets of the city. As in any major city, there is segregation of areas in the city according to class and poverty but it is much more stark, much more contrasting in all the senses in Mumbai. The growth of the city is driven by neo-liberal markets and profits. They are the cause and also the outcomes of this growth. The cities therefore are marked by divides, exploitations, inequalities, discriminations and exclusions.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThis divide though is not only because of poverty but also a direct result of apathy and neglect by concerned authorities. Mumbai\u2019s urban slums or even average middle class areas are devoid of facilities like – Water, Sanitation, access roads, sewage disposal, recreational spaces and access to proper health systems. It is always the poor and the marginalized that are at the receiving end of the urban restructuring.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe city has grown exponentially in the past 5 decades, with a huge Migrant population influx while unchecked construction and development has put a strain on space and other resources of the city. Life in the city as an average citizen and commuter is dangerous and as a member of a marginalised section of the city, one has an extremely bad deck of cards. This boiling pot is now overflowing and there has to be a pro-active approach towards making sure the city does not descend into utter chaos and everyone and every section in the city is taken care of.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tRight to city is a movement for inclusive growth. It emphasises on participation of all, especially of the marginalised and excluded in thinking through their cities and their lifestyle. Right to city is all about citizenship and constitutional entitlements. It is the citizens\u2019 right to shape the growth of the city and participate in its planning and implementation. Right to city is to claim those unclaimed spaces and rights.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
