Track2Realty Exclusive: For quite some time the developers in Mumbai were making pitch for the review of FSI in the city which they termed as archaic. Their grouse has not been lacking the merit also. Facts speak for themselves. In 1964, FSI was introduced and set at 4.5 in Mumbai.
Trck2Realty Exclusive: Western suburbs of Mumbai are bursting at its seams, and its infrastructure facilities are outdated. Draining systems built in the times of the British era are still prevalent in the city. There is a dire need to overhaul this system.
Track2Realty Exclusive: Though redevelopment is the buzz word in Mumbai post the new Development Control Rules (DCR), some of the realty analysts are finding it as a short gap arrangement since the supply will be only marginally increased which can’t even meet the ever increasing demand. And hence short supply of the apartment added to the price appreciation will hardly bring any substantial change in the market dynamics of the island city.
Working in the insane hustle and bustle of a metropolis like Mumbai is a unique experience, and it brings with it an opportunity to witness the dynamics of this rapidly urbanizing world.
There will be significant changes in term of the redevelopment of Mumbai seafront with the revamping of the Coastal Regulation Zone norms that direct construction in these areas.

Experts in the urban policy and planning are of the view that since none of the traditional solutions have worked, it calls for fresh approach and out-of-the-box thinking to make India slum free.

He says there is no dearth of expression of interest and even some of the international players had recently tied-up with the Indian partners for the same. He urges the Government for consistency in policy guidelines if slum free cities have to be a realty reality.
