About Navi Mumbai
|
| |
History |
| |
The growth of Mumbai city is constrained by sea at south,
east and west. As a result total land area available for
development of Mumbai is limited. Hence, developmental planners,
in late 1960s started exploiting alternative for dispersal
and control of Mumbai population. Eminent architects, Charles
Coria, Shirish Patel and Pravin Mehta suggested Navi Mumbai
as alternative to Mumbai.
Navi Mumbai has been developed as a planned city, a counter
magnet for Mumbai. It has been developed as an independent,
fully self-contained metro city. Navi Mumbai is the world's
large, totally planned, well-balanced, modern city. Navi
Mumbai has been planned and developed by CIDCO to meet the
infrastructural needs of a modern metropolis.
City and Industrial Development Corporation (CIDCO) is a
State Public Sector Undertaking registered under Companies
Act in March 1970. CIDCO prepared developmental plan for
Navi Mumbai covering 95 villages from Thane and Raigad district
covering total area of 343.70 sq km (table below). This
was approved by the Government of Maharashtra in August
1979.

Navi Mumbai has been developed
as an environment friendly, beautifully landscaped area with
parks, gardens and promenades along waterfronts. Care has
been taken to preserve the mountainous terrain, lakes and
green spaces in Navi Mumbai, which cover nearly half of its
total area.
For catering to the requirements of 29 villages in CIDCO project
and 14 villages from Kalyan notified area NMMC was formed
vide Government order dated December 17, 1991. NMMC came in
to existence on January 1, 1992. Total area under NMMC is
162.5 sq km.
In the CIDCO area there are seven nodes viz. CBD Belapur, Vashi, Nerul, Koparkhairane, Ghansoli, Sanpada and Airoli. Except for Ghansoli node, other six nodes are fully developed and hence, all powers under the Maharashtra Regional and Town Planning Act 1966 have been transferred to NMMC.
14 villages from Kalyan notified are deleted from NMMC jurisdiction vide Government order NMC 102000/LNO 54/04/NV 28 dated June 8, 2007. |
