Landscape + Urbanism Around the Bay of Mumbai

Synopsis

Mumbai's Metropolitan Region covers over 4,000 sq km and is home to over 22 million people. The dynamics of the Metropolitan Regionthe spatial and economic relations between its different neighborhoodsremain in flux.  For instance, over one million people commute to Navi Mumbai everydaya phenomenon that could not have been predicted as recently as ten years ago.  Thus, this points to the responsibility of architects, landscape architects, and planners is to include this inherent unpredictability of regional-level dynamics into their design recommendations. Within this rubric of understanding the urban realm, any work of a sole designer or planner is not to originate a singular grand vision for the entire Metropolitan Region, but to imagine urban design scale interventions that can respond to both site-specific conditions and regional-level trends and sequence these interventions; to determine which kinds of alterations to the citys fabric can trigger socially inclusive and economically viable change at the regional-level, and transition those ideas into tangible, individual projects that can add up to a larger, more robust whole,  over time.
