A debate unfolds over Mumbai’s infrastructure strategy, contrasting the celebration of new ‘world-class’ projects like the Navi Mumbai Airport and metro network with concerns about selective development. While the government advisor heralds a ‘golden era’ of equitable growth, critics argue that this project-led approach benefits a few and neglects fundamental needs. Issues raised include the lack of safe pedestrian infrastructure, with a notable quote stating, "Fifty-four percent of the fatalities in Mumbai in 2023 and 2024 were of pedestrians. Where is the pedestrian walking infrastructure?". The discussion also highlights the steady decline of the vital BEST bus service, which serves 3.5 million commuters daily, questioning why big-ticket projects are prioritised over improving mass transit and ensuring the safety of millions who use suburban trains. The government maintains it has an integrated, equitable plan for all sections of society, promising a future ‘unstoppable’ Mumbai. #mumbai #mumbaiinfra #navimumbaiairport #mumbaimetro #urbandevelopment #publictransport #best #pedestriansafety #equitabledevelopment #sinkingcity #risingcity #mumbainews #infrastructure #coastalroad #citydebate
