Description:
A family sleeps on the footpath in Mumbai. Hundreds of thousands of people work and attend schools during the daytime. At night, instead of returning to comfort of their homes, they unroll their beddings and sleep by the roadside. Mumbai has one of the highest population density of any cities in the world, and land is scarce. Buildings are rising higher and higher to accommodate large number of people migrating from rural areas to the cities, looking for opportunities, but there insn't enough space. Public space, even footpaths are controlled by the Mafia and rented on monthly basis. Mumbia, India.
