Through Mumbai’s windows
In Mumbai, home to 23 million and among the world’s most densely populated cities, windows of new high-rise apartment blocks, old low-rise residential buildings and shantytown shacks portray the disparity in living conditions and incomes in the Indian city.
Rents for a place to live range from more than $2,000 to less than $5 a month.
The cost to buy a 269 square foot (25 square meter) one-bedroom apartment in this building is around 9,293 Indian rupees ($150) per square feet or 2,500,000 Indian rupees ($40,000). The rent for an apartment in the same building is around 10,000 Indian rupees ($160) per month.
