With almost 23 million residents, Mumbai, India,
is the second largest city in the world (only
Tokyo, Japan, is larger than Mumbai). Rapid
population growth in Mumbai is evident in this
image from the International Space Station that
shows several regions of the city with active
land reclamation activities on its coasts, bays
and hinterlands. Mumbai exemplifies the global
urban growth and sprawl seen in recent years as
human populations throughout the world continue
to migrate to cities.

New urbanized areas such as Vashi, New Bombay,
Vasai, and Mahim Creek are being developed to
ease this congestion and provide space for new
suburbs and industrial parks.
Nariman Point is the hub of economic and
financial activity its skyline has often been
compared to Manhattans. Mumbais docklands
comprise the largest port in the entire
subcontinent and handle over 25 percent of
Indias international trade.
Adjacent to the commercial sector is Asias
