On World Population Day today (July 11), we visit one of the world’s most populated cities, in what’s now the most populous country in the world: Mumbai, India. For generations, people have moved from the rural areas to the cities to find opportunity.

Raksha Kumar visits three neighborhoods in Mumbai to talk to residents about the segregation and how it leads to a lack of resources for some.
