“…The share of the middle class in urban areas in India has risen from 54.7 to 72.4% during 1999-2000-2012(Krishnan and Hatekar 2017. The limited land supply in the island city (Greater Mumbai) and lack of effective integration with its periphery has added to the significant rise of real-estate prices in the city (Migozzi et al 2018).…”

Indian society is characterised by significant horizontal (religious, regional, linguistic) and vertical (income, occupation, caste) divisions. These socio-economic fragmentations significantly shape the production of space in cities. In fact, all major cities in the country are pervaded by socio-spatial divides, which often become sources of conflict, violence, exclusion and, also, solidarity. Mumbai is the industrial, commercial and financial capital of the country. Bollywood has, over the years, helped in carving out a distinct (pan) Indian identity for itself and the city, both within and outside India, and is a major rallying and unifying aspect for India. Among all its glitter, the city is also infamous for its underworld (originating from its excluded and marginalised neighbourhoods), slums and poor residential areas. The city is pervaded by socio-spatial fragmentation and is a divided city. This chapter shows that the highest level of segregation in Mumbai is based on religion (Muslims and Non-Muslims), followed by class, caste and tribe.

“…A first set of studies looks at increased household indebtedness and rising mortgage debt in North America (Aalbers, 2008; Gaudreau, 2017; Kalman-Lamb, 2017; Walks, 2013; Wyly et al, 2009), Latin America (Monkkonen, 2011; Pereira, 2017; Soederberg, 2015; Zapata, 2018), Northwestern Europe (Aalbers, 2016; Langley, 2008; Montgomerie and Büdenbender, 2014; Poppe et al, 2016; Waldron, 2016; Wijburg, 2018; Wood, 2017), East Central Europe (Bohle, 2014; Pósfai, 2018; Rodik and Žitko, 2015; Samec, 2018), Southern Europe and Turkey (Aalbers, 2007; Alexandri and Janoschka, 2018; Aslan and Dinçer, 2018; Di Feliciantonio, 2016; Palomera, 2014; Vives-Miró et al, 2018), Africa (Campbell, 2013; Kutz and Lenhardt, 2016; Migozzi, 2018), East Asia (Forrest and Hirayama, 2009; Smart and Lee, 2003; Wu, 2015; Zhang et al, 2018), and Australia and New Zealand (Morris, 2018; Murphy, 2011). This is not to suggest that the experiences in all these regions and countries are the same, but I cite the literature for different (sub-)continents to indicate that this is a topic of research across the globe.…”

Geographers have started studying residential (housing) and commercial real estate (offices, retail, leisure) at the intersection of financial and urban geographies to understand how the built environment – chunky and spatially fixed – has been turned into a (quasi-)financial asset – ‘unitized’ and liquid – through a range of regulatory and socio-technical changes and constructions. The financialization of real estate is not limited to the rise in household debt, mortgage securitization and international investment in office markets, but increasingly also affects rental housing: private equity, hedge funds and REITs buy up large portfolios of social and private rented housing, while housing associations use derivatives and other financial instruments. This report surveys the most recent research on finance, real estate and housing.
