The new city on a vast greenfield area across the Mumbai harbour was planned in the 1960-70s to decongest the increasingly-dense Mumbai. The master plan for Navi Mumbai, modelled on self-reliant inter-connected nodes, each with amenities for housing as well as green open spaces, has been implemented over the last few decades – with success. Navi Mumbai meets the parameters and follows the hierarchy of green open spaces in each of the seven planned nodes. These spaces are major contributors to the social well-being of people living and working in them, they are also a successful and efficient climate-resilient tool.
