history
The Central Business District of Belapur (C.B.D Belapur) is a node of Navi Mumbai. The
Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation is headquartered in Belapur.
The Reserve Bank of India maintains a branch office at CBD Belapur. This area is one of
the fastest developing regions in Navi Mumbai in terms of new residential and
commercial construction projects.[citation needed] CBD Belapur is connected to other
parts of Mumbai through railways, BEST & NMMT buses. It had a ferry service for traveling
to Elephanta caves from Sector-11.
The area near Belapur was under Portuguese rule around 1560, before it was captured
by the Siddis of Janjira. In those days, the town was called Belawal by the locals, and
Sambayo or Shabaz by the Portuguese.
In 1682, the Portuguese recaptured Shabaz, only to lose it to the Marathas in 1733. In 1817,
the British East India Company captured the area from the Marathas. It is the
southernmost town in the Thane district as well as the Thane taluka.
CBD Belapur is a Central Business District of Mumbai Metropolitan Region after Vashi,
Bandra-Kurla Complex, Nariman Point and Worli.
CBD Belapur has been growing since the 1990s and is now home to
colleges as well as a number of technology businesses.

Navi Mumbai is also called the twin city of Mumbai. Situated in the
western suburbs of Mumbai, this city is the brainchild of eminent
architect and urban designer Charles Correa, structural engineer
Pravina Mehta and engineer Shirish Patel.

Well aware of the prolonged Mumbai traffic and overgrowing

population, in early 1964, Navi Mumbai was planned to divert the
endless traffic congestion and to migrate the population. CIDCO
drafted a development plan for Navi Mumbai, which included
a 343.70 square kilometer territory stretching from Thane to
Raigad. Further, the plan was officially approved by the
Government of Maharashtra in August 1979.
 The main reasons for the move were:

1. The dilapidation of older structures in Bombay

2. Navi Mumbai’s cheaper and better housing amenities.
3. Navi Mumbai offers more job chances
4. Shorter commuting distances

Le Corbusier explains the planning is based on the 7V rule,

determining the essential function of creating sectors. The aim
was to inculcate the principles of Modernism. The planning of
Navi Mumbai is based on a polycentric nodal pattern of
development, unlike that of activity-oriented planning of
Mumbai. Keeping into account the problems faced by Mumbai,
planners adopted the strategy of decentralization.
The concept was to bifurcate the entire landmass into several
self-sufficient townships (nodes). Each node accommodates
1,00,000 – 3,00,000 people. The Navi Mumbai township is
anticipated to include around 20 nodes, with a total population
of around 2 million people and 10,000 jobs.
