In the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai (MCGB – or in the Marathi form, Brihanmumbai Mahanagar Palika, or BMC) area, the population is 11.92 millions in 2001. In 2004, the city’s population is expected to have increased to about 18 million, it becoming the third largest mega city in the world.
