Mumbai, the city of dreams, attracts people from far and wide, drawing them in to create homes and pursue their aspirations. It's a place in perpetual transformation, with ongoing construction and redevelopment defining its landscape. This shift is an ongoing phenomenon, manifesting in both subtle and significant ways. However, in recent years, this transformation has accelerated, demanding an increasing number of workers and laborers to aid in shaping these spaces to accommodate the growing influx of migrating individuals. These laborers and workers have now become a vital cog in the wheel, instrumental in bringing to life the ambitious ideas and colossal constructions that characterize Mumbai's urban evolution. I began examining the locations of Null Bazaar Labour Naka and the chowks outside Khar West station. These spots are where individuals from all corners of Mumbai congregate in the early hours, waiting for contractors and project heads to approach them for their daily wage. The daily pay ranges from 1000 to 2000 for men, typically engaged in civil work, carpentry, and painting. On the other hand, women laborers, despite engaging in strenuous tasks such as cleaning, organizing, and various other jobs, receive approximately 800 to 1000 as their daily pay. This disparity in wages highlights the gender-based pay gap prevalent in this scenario. Engaging in conversations with these laborers and witnessing the depth of their honed skills developed over years in the field has cultivated a newfound understanding of who these workers are and why their role is crucial. As architects, we often pride ourselves on being the creators and originators of ideas. However, gaining insight into the laborers' work and spending time with them has made it glaringly apparent that it is the workers and laborers who breathe life into these concepts and designs. Their intricate process of crafting is just as significant as the initial design phase, and it ultimately transforms the end result through ongoing dialogues and negotiations
