Abstract: *Bare Necessity* examines the fundamental elements of daily life in Mumbai, focusing on the challenges individuals face in navigating the city’s complexities. It explores the routines that sustain existence in an overcrowded urban environment (Part 1), the systemic obstacles to fulfilling basic needs (Part 2), and the cultural, social, and economic structures shaping access to resources (Part 3). The work also highlights the victims of Mumbai’s imbalances—migrants, slum dwellers, and the urban poor—who suffer the consequences of inequality and neglect (Part 4). Ultimately, it seeks to raise awareness about the intersection of survival, societal forces, and urban inequality.
