Mumbai is the capital of Maharashtra state and the economic capital of India. The document summarizes the spatial growth and evolution of human settlements in Mumbai and Navi Mumbai over time. It describes how Mumbai grew from a population of 10,000 in the Portuguese occupation period to over 6,000,000 by the English occupation period. It also outlines the creation of Navi Mumbai in 1970 to decongest Mumbai and the planning principles used, such as decentralization into self-sufficient townships and sectors with single use zoning.

The prominent authors of “ twin city
concept “ were Charles Correa , Pravin
Mehta and Shirish Patel who presented the
government a proposal for constructing new
growth centres across Bombay harbour on
the mainland
The implementation occurred through
political and bureaucratic channels in 1969
The site was finally chosen across the
harbour from Bombay island
It was a narrow piece of land bounded by
western ghat mountain ranges on the north,
south , east and Arabian sea on the west
CIDCO was formed to plan and develop
Navi Mumbai in 1970
TWIN CITY ACROSS THE HARBOUR

The central business district lies at the centre with all the major
commercial, political and social activities
This zone was surrounded by the transition zone which has factories and
warehouses
Older residential areas being taken over by expanding C.B.D .
The next zone had lower income levels and successive zones had higher
income levels
CONCENTRIC ZONE THEORY,BURGES MODEL
15. CIDCO –DRAFT DEVELOPMENT PLAN, 1973
The task of planning and developing Navi
Mumbai was entrusted with CIDCO
The following principles were used in
design:
- Polycentric pattern of development
- Acquisition of land to have control over
development
The site has following potential:
- The MIDC at Taloja for industrial
development
- The Bridge over the creek for
transportation
- Two existing municipal corporations at
Panvel and Uran
- The Thane-Pune National Highway and
Railways link
DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL OF THE SITE
16. NAVI MUMBAI-DESIGN PRINCIPLES
The principles on which Navi Mumbai
was designed were :
- Decentralization by the design of self
sufficient townships (nodes)
- Residential neighbourhoods (Sectors)
- Single use zoning as opposed to
traditional multiple use zoning
The total area of Navi Mumbai was
divided into three townships. Each
township had several sectors. Many
were residential in nature
Each Node was planned to
accommodate a range of some income
groups
Ponds were created to accumulate
excess run off NODES OF NAVI MUMBAI
17. NAVI MUMBAI- LANDUSE PATTERN
Through the Navi Mumbai
project began in 1970 the
process has been slow
Growth in the other areas of
Mumbai has an adverse effect
on Navi Mumbai’s Growth
Since 1990, the growth
accelarated due to presence of
Nhava Sheva port
CIDCO provided services for
both government and private
ownership
Houses have been constructed
for EWS , LIG , MIG and HIG.
