Discussion on cities
Summary of the speech Naples and Mumbai have some characteristics in common. Both have an anarchic way of living, of continual chaos with endemic corruption, but people go on with their lives. Mumbai continues to live because it's a hospitable city, which grows at the rate of a million inhabitants per year. It's Mumbai's older generation who are always more cynical and afraid of the future, not the new generation. Bombay's slums house not only poor people, but also professionals, a symbol of the building crisis. These parts of large cities are very similar to the villages people come from and this creates a sense of solidarity.
