The Young Face of Mumbai Development

While one part of Mumbai shows magnifying ravishing megalopolis, the other one is an emblem of dingy city. The change in governance is expected to bring transformation in the latter part. The residents of Mumbai Property are living every day with higher expectations that the new face of the new government, Devendra Fadnavis will reshape the Mumbai's exuberance. The primary section that needs attention is the infrastructure.

Managing the Traffic

With an assemblage of transport and flyover infrastructure, there will be smooth access to the traffic. Santacruz Chembur link Road and Eastern Freeway were short-term solutions for the congestion problem. According to experts, more flyovers will provide free movement on the road. 

The experts are keen on providing suggestions to the newly selected government to take measures for the transport infrastructure. The improvisation of the public transport should be the primary focus of a new Chief Minister. The norms should be made where in times of new infrastructure; the public transport should transfer at least fifty percent of transportation it engages. The percentage of buses under the Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport (BEST) shrunk from 85 percent to 58 percent. So, necessary measures are needed to improve the occupancy rate. More of the recommendations by the experts include parking access, better facilities for the strollers and congestion tax. These measures could bring radical changes in the busy traffic of Mumbai. 

Housing Availability

Home or accommodation rates are too excessive in the city that even upper middle class thinks once.  The former government did not intervene adequately to provide respite to the Mumbai Real Estate Prices. The managing director at the Liases Foras, Pankaj Kapoor states that to bear down on prices, the government should bring in tax reforms. The MD of real estate research firm said the premiums and additional taxation have been levied by the state that makes up the total price the buyer has to spend while buying. A regulator is needed in this sector that will keep an eye on the developers. It will lead the ear of sales based on the carpet area rather than super built-up area. The irony is developers on their website always show the super built-up area. 

Industry experts summon for the well discussed and approved master plan for the real estate development of Mumbai. It will further decide the distribution of FSI instead of assigning additional built-up area on an attractive schemes basis to developers. 

Mumbai Makeover

Be it Kalaghoda crescent's makeover into Times Square or the Marine Drive promenade project, the former governments certainly came up with the spasmodic plans for beautifying Mumbai. The social activists believe that it is the beauty of the city's street that attracts a huge crowd rather than the skyscrapers or hi-fi streets. 

Rishi Aggarwal, who is the social activist and research fellow at Observer Research Foundation, feels that the focus should be on clearing space outside railway stations and well-designed footpaths. The projects like these will have a greater impact on the city like Mira Road, Kharghar . The trustee of NAGAR, Nayana Kathpalia, trustee says that the government should give more attention to the sanitization of polluted rivers and beachfronts.
