E-mail: [email protected] 2Central Institute of Fisheries Education, Versova, Andheri, Mumbai 400 062, India. Abstract Mumbai is one of the metropolitan of India located on western coast at 18° 53’ north to 19° 16’north latitude and from 72°E to 72° 59 E longitude. Mumbai endowed with coast line of 100km which is intended with creek and estuaries. Once upon a time plentiful density and diversity of Mangroves was present on most of the coastal area of Mumbai. At present patches of mangroves exist at Mahim and Gorai creek, and at coastal belt of Versova, Sewri, Colaba, and Bandra. Moderate mangrove patches are also present around Mumbai in coastal areas of Elephanta Island, Uran, Vashi, Vasai, Thane and Bhyander creeks. Although 15 species of mangroves identified in and around Mumbai, most of the coastal areas harbor Avicennia marina. It has been noticedA. marina tolerate polluted coastal water at Mahim creek and other coastal zones in Mumbai. Due to heavy development of housing construction, most of the mangrove density in and around Mumbai is reducing day by day. Recent oil spill incidences in coastal waters of Mumbai found to damage the mangrove ecosystem. In marshy areas of Sewri, Elephanta Island and Vashi heavy coasting of oil on leaves and lower part of mangrove tree is recorded. Further, young mangrove trees found dead at some of these areas. Efforts are in progress to save the mangrove ecosystem in and around Mumbai by adopting various means. The state Government of Maharashtra recently declared 3000 hectares of Mangrove as protected forests. Detailed account of present status of mangroves ecosystem of Mumbai has been given in this paper. Keywords Mumbai, India, Mahim, creek 97.

Study of Housing Typologies in Mumbai
HOUSING TYPOLOGIES IN MUMBAI CRIT May 2007 HOUSING TYPOLOGIES IN MUMBAI CRIT May 2007 1 Research Team Prasad Shetty Rupali Gupte Ritesh Patil Aparna Parikh Neha Sabnis Benita Menezes CRIT would like to thank the Urban Age Programme, London School of Economics for providing financial support for this project. CRIT would also like to thank Yogita Lokhande, Chitra Venkatramani and Ubaid Ansari for their contributions in this project. Front Cover: Street in Fanaswadi, Inner City Area of Mumbai 2 Study of House Types in Mumbai As any other urban area with a dense history, Mumbai has several kinds of house types developed over various stages of its history. However, unlike in the case of many other cities all over the world, each one of its residences is invariably occupied by the city dwellers of this metropolis. Nothing is wasted or abandoned as old, unfitting, or dilapidated in this colossal economy. The housing condition of today’s Mumbai can be discussed through its various kinds of housing types, which form a bulk of the city’s lived spaces This study is intended towards making a compilation of house types in (and wherever relevant; around) Mumbai. House Type here means a generic representative form that helps in conceptualising all the houses that such a form represents. It is not a specific design executed by any important architect, which would be a-typical or unique. It is a form that is generated in a specific cultural epoch/condition. This generic ‘type’ can further have several variations and could be interestingly designed /interpreted / transformed by architects.

MANORI GORAI UTTAN NOTIFIED AREA DEVELOPMENT PLAN 2022 Background note from MMRDA website The sanctioned Regional Plan of MMR identified Gorai-Manori-Uttan area as Recreation and Tourism Development Zone. Following this, the Government of Maharashtra vide Notification dated 24th August, 2004, appointed MMRDA as “Special Planning Authority” for Gorai-Manori-Uttan area. The MMRDA has established a Joint Committee comprising officials from Municipal Corporation of Brihan Mumbai, Mira-Bhayander Municipal Corporation, Maharashtra Tourism Development Corporation and Maharashtra Coastal Zone Management Authority. As required under the MR&TP Act, 1966 and as proposed by the Joint Committee, the MMRDA has taken up preparation of Development Plan for the notified area. The intention to prepare Development Plan was declared on 4th December, 2006 M/s. EPC Management Planning and Development Private Limited, Ahmedabad have been appointed as consultant for preparation of Development Plan for the notified area. The Draft Development Plan proposals are expected to be prepared by the end of December 2010. After approval of the same by the MMRDA, the Draft Development Plan will be published inviting suggestions and objections. The proposed development plan for the notified area was published in November 2011. UDRI participated in the suggestions and objections by sending in a letter dated 14th December 2011 which highlighted the critical shortfalls of the plan. The letter highlights the following: 1. Mumbai’s Affordable housing needs: The population of Greater Mumbai living in slums and wadis in 2005 is estimated as 6.5 million people (51% of the population) and growing. That is a shortfall of about 15 Lakh dwelling units.
