Mumbai, the State Capital of Maharashtra, has often been referred to as the Financial Capital of India. The city have offered not merely glamour, entertainment, but also wages and much higher level of assurance of employment. Over the years it naturally has attracted a large number of people from rural and other areas leading to large scale migration into the mega city. The pace of urbanization has left far behind the efforts and initiative of planners, local bodies, housing authorities and formal real estate developers in providing affordable housing to a large number of its residents. Today, as a result, about 50% of its residents spread over around 2397 slum clusters live in unhygienic, deplorable, unsafe huts or shanties called slums. These slums have come up on private lands, Stale Government lands, Municipal Corporation lands, Central Government lands and Housing Board lands.
