    A PLACE IN THE SHADE

    URBANIZATION
    • Mumbai, a city of over 20 million people, has grown exponentially, outpacing its infrastructure.
    • Initial settlement in the 19th century focused on docks and a fort, a layout that has been stretched
    to its limits.
    Population growth from 1900 to 2020:
    • 1900: 1 million
    • 1940: 1.8 million
    • 1960: 4 million
    • 2020: Over 20 million
    POPULATION GROWTH AND
    CHALLENGES

    • The city's population grew from 1 million in 1900 to over 20 million today.
    • The financial center and textile mills create significant traffic flows.
    • Daily commutes averaging 2-4 hours.
    • Managing environmental issues like waste disposal, air and water pollution.
    • Increasing unemployment and crime.
    HOUSING CRISIS

    • Over 4.5 million illegal squatters live in


    overcrowded slums or on pavements.
    • The rich preempt desirable urban land,
    leading to a severe mismatch between
    housing supply and demand.
    • Lack of safe shelter.
    • Many live in substandard conditions
    with limited access to basic amenities.
    PROPOSAL FOR NEW GROWTH CENTERS

    • Transforming Bombay's linear structure


    into a circular, polycentric model.
    • Concept of 'New Bombay'
    • CIDCO (City and Industrial
    Development Corporation) established
    for design and development.
    • Diverts office jobs, increases housing
    capacity, and improves infrastructure
    efficiency.
