Abstract: *Mumbai Reader 10* presents an interdisciplinary set of essays that examine Mumbai’s evolving urban condition. Covering governance, planning, ecology, social justice, and culture, it explores housing precarity, homelessness, slum redevelopment, and the impacts of neoliberal reforms. The volume highlights demographic change, communal tensions, and gendered experiences of public space, revealing the city’s layered vulnerabilities. Environmental concerns—from mangrove protection to peripheral ecologies—underscore the need for sustainable planning. Analyses of transportation, FSI, heritage, activism, and megaprojects trace shifting urban form. Together, these perspectives offer a nuanced portrait of a complex metropolis and question whose interests shape Mumbai’s future.
