surrounded on three sides

by water, and with the

backdrop of the hills ofthe +estern :hats, Mumbai

occupies a site of natural

scenic beauty

owever, rapid populationgrowth have contributed to

some serious social

and environmental problems




As we all know that Mumbai attracts immigrants

from rural areas looking for employment and a

better life many people from different states

migrate to Mumbai

5ue to this the city)s population grew at an annual

rate of more than four percent a year

An estimated $% percent of the city)s inhabitants

live in slum conditions 1ome areas of Mumbaicity have population densities of around $!,""" per

s'uare kilometreamong the highest in the world




As a result of Mumbai)s si7e and high

growth rate, urban sprawl, traffic congestion,

inade'uate sanitation, and pollution pose

serious threats to the 'uality of life in the city Automobile e;hausts and industrial

emissions, for e;ample, contribute to serious

air pollution, which is reflected in a high

incidence of chronic respiratory problemsamong the population

Breathing Mumbai's air has been likened to

smoking more than 20 cigarettes a day!




5ay to day, the environmental conditions of

Mumbai are getting worst

5ue to the e;pansion of the city many trees

are been cut daily and because of this theclimate of Mumbai is repeatedly changing

As a result every year Mumbai faces flood

in rainy season

1o now the government has lunched many

plans for securing a better future of Mumbai
