About the Author
My name is Arshad S. Balwa and I am currently studying at the Dhirubhai Ambani International School, Mumbai, India in the 11th Grade of the IB Diploma. My family has been in the real estate business for many decades and as such I have grown up in a “brick and mortar” world. I have travelled around the world including the United States of America, Europe, Africa, etc. However every time I returned to Mumbai, I was overwhelmed by the lack of infrastructure, lack of civic amenities and generally the urban decay prevalent in Mumbai. While, I was always fascinated with the Real Estate business my fascination turned into intrigue, leading to this report. Through this report, I have made an effort to highlight the urban chaos and made some recommendations.
This report is by no means an exhaustive all-encompassing solution to the urban decay prevalent in Mumbai. A study in much greater detail is required to be carried out across Mumbai and other urban centers in India. However, I am hopeful, this report will encourage others including the Municipal Corporation and the State Government to undertake a detailed study and take measures to reverse the urban decay in Mumbai and other urban centers.
I have taken due care to give due credit to the authors of articles I have referred in my report. If for any reason, any of the article referred to, has not be given due credit, the same may be certainly an error, which if it is, then it is, sincerely regretted.
Finally, I would like to thank my father Mr. Shahid Balwa for being patient with me and encouraging me throughout the entire process.

Many Study after study has validated the fact that Indian Metropolitan Cities and its satellite towns (collectively called the Capital Region or metropolitan cities) count as one of the most polluted megacities in the world. The Air Quality Index (AQI) of Indian Metropolitan Cities metropolitan cities often crosses 400, a situation when 100 per cent of the population is at risk. As winter sets in, medical practitioners advise that we stay indoors, avoid walks in the park and wear facemasks if we have to step out.

The re-development of the Port Lands offers a unique
opportunity to re-invent our city by creating the much
needed public infrastructure, utilities and public spaces
that we are so short of.
Of the total holding by Mumbai Port Trust of 734 ha, the
land available for development is approx 400 ha (1000
acres) excluding the Docks and operational areas (196
ha) and residential areas ( approx 100 ha). A legislative
framework to enable these lands to be re-possessed and
a financial model to re-develop these lands as a public
Private partnership with Mumbai’s Industrial &Corporate
Houses using CSR funds has been proposed in Annexure 4.
Our plans integrate the Port lands, with adjacent city
areas such as Sewri, Lalbaug, Byculla, Mazagon,
Dongri and Bhendi Bazaar, and provide Mumbaikars
much needed public amenities and public open spaces
which are critical for our city’s sustainable growth, as the
commercial and entrepreneurial heart of India.

Sky bus Metro is a suspended railway invented by Indian technologist Mr. B Rajaram. Now in metro cities like Hyderabad, Mumbai, Bangalore, etc., the number of problems developing regarding transportation due to increase in population India, mostly in these cities. The problems are overload on public transport system, increasing vehicles two wheelers and four wheelers Sky bus is necessary to reduce overload on public transport system. And due to increase in vehicles the number of problems developed likes Traffic jam, Accidents, Pollution etc. So that by constructing the sky bus metro reduced this problem. Thus sky bus metro solve the public transportation problem in metro cities. After experiencing congestion’s and traffic jams over three decades, India finally realized her urban public transport system requires transformation for solving several problems at once and for long term. Innovation of Sky bus by Indian Railways, a Govt. owned enterprise is the outcome of this learning process. Sky bus project has been receiving support from Government, Industries as well as from various public in India. This research confirms the advantages of Sky bus innovation are tremendous. For overpopulated Indian urban areas, Sky bus seems to be the best solution for safe, quality and inexpensive mass public transportation system. After approval from concerned authorities, Sky bus will be the long term solution for public in terms of transportation in India. Sky Bus metro is in the tramway category, under Art 366 20 of the Constitution of India. Since it parallels existing roadways and within municipal limits, it is excluded from the Act. Sky Bus cannot capsize or collide. Sky Bus is based on the concept of Sky Wheels presented in 1989 at World Congress for Railway Research. Sky Bus eliminates vandalism, derailments and is virtually maintenance free. Construction cost Rs 450,000,000 per km. It is noise free and pollution free with no crossings. It can carry about 18000 people per hour per direction pphpd , scalable to 54000 pphpd as required. Which are suspended from bogies and travel below rail guides, the physics of which can be engineered very easily shells of coaches and suspension links well proven. Prefabricated latest construction technologies, which save time and money resulting in easy execution of the project in busy urban areas without disturbing the existing traffic pattern .These structural engineering methods, are well proven which do not have any project execution risk attached.

Growing Transportation Problem in Some Urban Cities of IndiaVinay Ghosh
Transportation is the lifeline of any urban city. Without proper transportation, a city would not be able to thrive in today’s conditions of growing population and vehicle density. Some Indian urban cities have proper transportation resources, which can cope with the increasing vehicle density like Delhi. Delhi has a proper metro rail transit, municipal buses, autorikshas, and many other options to cope with the growing density of vehicles. Delhi people have got a relief in the growing traffic jam conditions on the roads of Delhi after the launching of metro rail transit. But there are many other urban cities like Chennai and Bangalore that are struggling to cope with the growing numbers of vehicles on their roads.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

migrants.7 These figures show clearly the city’s attraction.
Insert Figure 1: Maps of India about here.
Since the liberalization of India, in 1991, Mumbai has observed outstanding development in the
economic and financial sector. Mumbai’s population is just about 1 per cent of the total population in

III. Urban transportation
Talking about transportation in Mumbai, Mumbai’s transport system includes Public transportation
and Private vehicles. Public transport in Mumbai involves the transportation of millions of its citizens by
various vehicle types. It comprised of a suburban rail system and public bus system, as well as private
taxis and auto-rickshaws.15
According to the report of MMRDA (Mumbai metropolitan region development authority) 88% of
commuters in Mumbai use public transport mainly suburban trains or BEST buses as a means of
transport. Currently, 11 million people travel daily by Public Transport with modal share of Rail - 52%,
and Bus - 26%16
Insert Figure 2: Maps of Mumbai region and The Mumbai suburban rail network. About here
To adapt with the rapidly increasing of population and modernization the city transport, Mumbai has
decided to build the Metro system. The MMRDA planned the Mumbai Metro to be a 146.5km17 rail-
based mass rapid transit system. The Metro is going to operate in May 2012. It will integrate with other
transports to make Mumbai a comprehensive transportation system.
Mumbai has India’s most extensive suburban rail net-work, carrying more than 5 million passengers a
day—58 percent of total public transport passengers in the region (vs. 42% by bus) and 80 percent of
total passenger km (vs. 20% by bus)18. That is the reason M umbai has the best integration of rail and
road public
Mumbai has the largest organized bus transport network among major Indian cities19. But the train
network is always overloaded especially in the peak hours with over three times the passengers. About
4700 passengers travel in a 9-car rake during peak hours, as against its rated carrying capacity of only
1,70020

The most preferred transport in Mumbai is B.E.S.T bus. The BEST bus routes are spread city widely
and also to neighboring cities. It also have the well connection, integration with other transports form
rail, train and airline. As of 2011, the BEST runs a total of 4,680 buses21, ferrying 4.8 million passengers
over 365 routes22. Recently, BEST has introduced air- conditioned buses and low floor buses that are
equipped with facilities to accommodate the disabled.
The affordability is one outstanding feature of the Mumbai’s transportation system. BEST bus which
operates public buses in Mumbai, is also an electric utility and they subsidizes bus fares from electricity
revenues. As of January 2009, the minimum fare is Rs 3.50 (US 0.07$) for ordinary bus, Rs5
(US0.09$) for limited bus and Rs 22 (US 0.42 $)23 for AC bus it very cheap to compare with other
countries in the same level such as Vietnam (US 0.2$).
IV. Mumbai Global city.
In 2010, in the ranking of GaWC world cities, Mumbai was listed in the category of Alpha world
city24- the same category with Washington, Mexico City, Los Angeles, Madrid, etc.
Most of the foreign banks and financial institutions have set up offices in its expanse in Mumbai. It
also comprises of the headquarters of esteemed Indian financial institutions like Bombay Stock
Exchange, Reserve Bank of India, National Stock Exchange, etc. It leads Mumbai to become financial,
commercial hub of India and south west Asia region.
Because of numerous institutions and international corporations have their headquarters in Mumbai.
This City not only attracts migrants from all over India but also foreign experts and workers all over the
world. The city offers countless employment opportunities and is known for its interesting and high
standard of living. Therefore, more and more foreigners come to Mumbai for studying and working.
Nowadays, Coming to Mumbai is much easier than ever because of two big airports with the
connection to most of airport in all over the world. The primary airport of Mumbai-Chhatrapati Shivaji
International Airport is India's and South Asia's largest and most important airline hub, the gate way to

India. In 2010, it was ranked the 30th busiest airport in the world in terms of cargo with 671,238 tones
handled and more than 29.9 million passengers. 25
One criterion of ranking Cities in the world considers numbers of millionaire and billionaire.
Although, India is low – middle income country but Mumbai still have numerous numbers of millionaire
and billionaire. It was ranked seventh in the list of "Top Ten Cities for Billionaires" and first in term of
billionaire average wealth by the Forbes magazine.26
V. Conclusion
Beside these achievements, Mumbai is still faced with many problems such as uncontrolled migrants,
urban fragmentation, gap of Rich – Poor, injustice in society, terrorist attacks, slum, etc. The city
definitely needs to have a longer vision in planning and management of these urban issues considering
the fact that Mumbai is the global city.
Even though, ―No city in India has evoked as much admiration as the city of Mumbai. It is regarded
as a city of challenges, opportunities, guts, hope, peaceful co-existence and above all, a city of
dreams.‖27
