![Mumbai has never really run out of things to do.
But there are still so many little things that could make everyday life in the city better.
More places to sit. More spaces to walk. More ways to spend time without spending money. More places to enjoy the sea and better everyday amenities.
Mumbai already has the character.
Maybe it just needs a little more room for people to enjoy it.
What is one thing you wish Mumbai had?
