Mumbai Disconnected
Like a city on steroids, Mumbai is rapidly becoming one of the world's biggest megacities. But it's happening on a narrow peninsula with an infrastructure on the verge of collapse. Every day, 10-12 people die when they fall from overcrowded public trains. On the roads, cars stand still in serial traffic jams. To make matters worse, the Nano, India's popular and affordable mini car, has just been launched. Through three interwoven human stories, we meet the people at the frontline of Mumbai's infrastructural battle. Urban planning is far from easy in the world's largest democracy.
