Abstract: The nature of migrants to Mumbai warrant differentiated planning and alternatives for the city as well as the suburbs. A study based on about 11,000 migrant households spread over the city and its constituent units show that Greater Mumbai has emerged as a site for recent young migrants who are first-time job seekers whereas the surrounding constituent settlements of the agglomeration house relatively better equipped, settled migrants who have moved for over two decades.
