Listen "Urban World's Apart"
Episode Synopsis
Send us a textThe comparison of London and Mumbai illustrates how the issues of urbanisation are universal but are shaped and expressed in drastically different ways by a city’s stage of development. London, as a post-industrial city, grapples with issues of social inequality, gentrification, and the challenges of managing a highly regulated, yet ageing, infrastructure. Its environmental challenges are being met with sophisticated policy tools and technological solutions. In stark contrast, Mumbai, as a rapidly urbanising EDC city, faces more fundamental challenges, from extreme poverty and a lack of basic services to environmental crises rooted in rapid, often unregulated, growth.Support the showCheck out my website, Facebook groups and other social media.www.ritchiecunningham.com Geography Expert Substack | Ritchie Cunningham | Substack Geography Expert - Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/3514097965371452 UK Geography teachers | Facebook Twitter - @RRitchieCYouTube Geography Expert@geographyexpert BlueSky @geographyexpert.bsky.social Threads cunninghamritchieLinkedIn (7) Ritchie Cunningham | LinkedInThank you for listening
