Bombay, open city?
A dispatch from the city of dreams
Mumbai is famously an open city, known for welcoming all comers, regardless of colour, caste, or creed.

In this episode of the Weekend Intelligence Leo contemplates how all this construction will change his beloved Bombay, and who the Mumbai of the future is really designed for.
