This document provides information on the history and development of Mumbai and its metropolitan region. It discusses how Mumbai originated as a collection of fishing villages that were acquired by the Portuguese and British. It later grew into a major trading center and industrial hub. The document outlines the population growth and migration trends in the region. It also describes the shifting priorities between the 1973 and 1996 regional development plans, with a move from bulk land acquisition to market-based policies.

• Recommended market capitalising land and taxation policies
The MMRDA in its Draft Regional Plan for 1996-2011 stated:
"Mumbai will have to respond to the changing circumstances
to achieve its own economic recovery. Mumbai can also act as
the focal point in the process of the globalisation of the Indian
economy…. develop Mumbai into a finance and business
node for international level of operations."
1973 PLAN

larger section of society
