Abstract: This volume, *Housing, FSI, Crowding, and Densities*, by the Praja Foundation, delves into the challenges of urban housing in Greater Mumbai. It covers key housing concepts, urban planning, and the impact of Floor Space Index (FSI) and zoning regulations on housing affordability and density. The book explores the relationship between population density and living conditions, highlighting issues like overcrowding and inadequate infrastructure. Using Census 2011 data, it provides insights into migration and demographic shifts. Additional resources for urban planners and researchers, along with references and further reading, make it a valuable guide for tackling Mumbai’s housing challenges.
