Abstract: *Mumbai Reader 09* explores critical issues in urban development, planning, and social justice within Mumbai’s evolving landscape. It examines socio-spatial injustices emerging from redevelopment processes, the tensions between development and displacement in areas like Dharavi and Vision Juhu, and the challenges of resettlement and infrastructure expansion (e.g., Sea Link, Metro). The collection critiques governance, public-private space dynamics, and the complexities of the housing market. Through case studies and historical analysis, it addresses topics such as colonial legacies, urban mobility, and the impact of infrastructure on marginalized communities, offering insights into Mumbai’s struggles with inequality and urban transformation.
