GROWTH HUBS, REDEVELOPMENT, AND MHADA’S URBAN RESPONSE
Every year, the first Monday of October is observed globally as World Habitat Day, a reminder that shelter is not merely a necessity but a fundamental human right. This year’s theme, “Urban Crisis Response”, underlines the urgent need to address the mounting challenges of rapid urbanization, climate change, social inequality, and the ever-rising demand for housing in cities. For Mumbai, the city of dreams that continues to draw thousands from across the country every day, the significance of this theme cannot be overstated. People arrive in search of better education, employment, healthcare, and opportunities, but the city’s geographical spread is limited to just 603 square kilometers, hemmed in by the sea on three sides. This reality leaves vertical growth, redevelopment, and cluster development as the only sustainable means to respond to the housing demand.
