Around 121,384 acres contiguous land is needed for housing this over flooding population in Mumbai, for which dwelling units of 900 square feet is required per family assuming the household size to be 4. The total strength of street becomes 35,606 kilometres if these houses will be built facing the street. It will provide a frontage of about 20 feet to each unit. Mumbai is considered to be the commercial capital of the nation. Migrants from all over India gets attracted to this city of dreams also high population commutes to the city for their work on daily basis.
The developmental activity of the real estate industry in Mumbai is not being able to match with the pace of population explosion in the city. Huge pressure on Mumbai’s limited land resources has forced the market for building more tough discretionary approvals and for circumventing base FSI regulations in context to the civic amenities construction like parking structures. Construction features such as balconies, voids and flower beds have been excluded from FSI so that after construction, there could be utilization of habitable spaces.
