Firstly, to clarify property rights, by ensuring that land records maintained by the State mirror the reality on the ground. A discordance between the two, i.e., records and reality, implies that it is dicult to ascertain and assert rights over land. Secondly, land record modernisation aims to reduce the costs involved for the citizen to access and correct records easily in order to ensure that the records are updated in a timely manner. This report aims to map, on a pilot basis, the progress of the DILRMP, a Centrally Sponsored Scheme, in the State of Maharashtra.

  • Development of Planning Index for Evaluating Climate Change Protocols: Analysis of Mumbai Metropolitan Region's Regional Plan
    Sahu and Saizen City Territ Archit (2018) 5:5 https://doi.org/10.1186/s40410-018-0082-8 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Development of planning index for evaluating climate change protocols: analysis of Mumbai Metropolitan Region’s Regional Plan 1996–2011 Sonam Sahu* and Izuru Saizen Abstract Conserving resources, harmonizing living standards, and employing energy efcient methods are potential solutions to climate change, which can be positively accomplished through development and planning. However, today, as the frst world countries advance towards “positive development”, some third world countries are developing in an “unwanted pattern”. The metropolitan cities of developing countries attract most of the country’s population, conse‑ quently becoming the worst suferers of the situation. They grow faster than their capacity allows, and then due to the lack of strategy, poor governance, and weak policies; face overwhelming pressure on land and natural resources. Documenting this situation using the case of a metropolitan city in India, the present paper aims to identify the problems faced by a metropolitan city in a developing country. The Mumbai Metropolitan Region’s Regional Plan 1996–2011 was analyzed to determine the response to climate change mitigation and adaptation. Furthermore, a new diagnostic tool, namely the “Climate Change Planning Index”, which can deliver valuable information at a glance, was developed. The paper concludes with a summary of the climate change crisis and the necessity of development in a developing metropolitan city. Keywords: Regional Planning, Urbanization, Climate Change Planning Index, Plan analysis Introduction climate priorities in the planning of a city and are sup- Climate change planning, also known as Planning for porting local governments in this direction.

  • Mega City, Mumbai Is on the Top of the Internet Usage List Based on The
    Internet penetration:- Mega city, Mumbai is on the top of the internet usage list based on the number of internet users with 8.1 million claimed Internet users and 6.2 million active users, according to a survey conducted by IMRB and Internet and Mobile Association of India (IAMAI). Delhi including the NCR came in the second spot with 6.2 claimed users and 5 million active Internet users. Eastern city of Kolkata took the third place while the city described as the silicon valley of India managed only a sixth position on the list of internet usage. The survey shows an interesting fact that the internet is not limited to the rich populations in the country as towns with a population of less than 200,000 together had more internet users than the top four metro cities combined. The survey considers active internet users as those who have used the internet at least once in the last one month while a claimed internet user is someone who has used Internet at any point in time. IAMAI's president Dr. Subho Ray explained, "Two things are absolutely clear from the survey. First, the internet density is very poor in top metros in spite of awareness, education and infrastructure. Secondly, internet is now clearly and firmly a small town phenomenon." The survey included 13,065 households and 49,942 individuals in urban areas and 3,500 households and 13,209 individuals in the rural region. http://blog.hiveminds.in/2013/01/internet-usage-in-india/ Mumbai Population distribution:- Total Metropolitan Area Population of Mumbai in 2012 20,500,000 Metropolitan city 2012 13,000,000 Population of Mumbai Metropolitan city 2011 12,478,447 Metro (2011) 18,414,288 Total Male Population (2011) 6736815 Total Female Population (2011) 5741632 Population in 2009 13,922,125 Rank 1st1st Population of Mumbai - Mumbai is one of the most populated cities in the world.
