Development Plan: Our Chance for an Open, Efficient and Equitable Mumbai!!

Revision of the Development Plan 2014 - 2034

Why Plan for the City?
Well planned cities attract innovation, economic oppurtunities and sustainability that lead to vibrancy, vitality and a high quality of life. We should ensure that proper planning is carried out in our city in order to ensure a healthy life for our future generations.

YOU AND THE DP

Participate in making the DP by:
Writing in to the planning authorities and telling them about what you need in your area. Having more frequent discussions and meetings about the needs and requirements in your area with all members of your community. Convey the outcome of these discussions to the planners. Generating more awareness about the DP among your friends Participate in large numbers and help the planners with the task of provisioning for your area.

What is the Developement Plan?

A Development Plan (DP) means a plan for the development or re development of an area within the jurisdiction of a planning authority. The DP is the most important document affecting the provision of basic services in the place you live. It is a map that defines which land parcels in the city would be reserved for public use. It is a document that sets the path for making Mumbai a livable city. For more information look at the section on DP and You.

Engage with the DP by asking the MCGM to:

Provide you with the schools, colleges, playgrounds and open spaces. Provide you with proper health facilities. Provide you with clean drinking water and proper toilet facilities. Provide you with spaces for community facilities and market areas. By asking the MCGM for these provisions, you engage with the revision of the DP and how it will affect a whole generation of mumbaikers.

Why is there a revision?

According to the MR&TP Act, the DP has to be revised every 20 years. The last time the DP was prepared for Mumbai was in 1981, but it was passed only 13 years later, in 1994. Thus a revisedDP is now being prepared and will have to be ratified in 2014. It will be in force till 2034.

Implement and Own the DP by:

Being very cautious about the purpose and use of reservations that are designated in your area Assisting the authorities in monitoring the status of the reservations from time to time. Notifying the authorities in case any reservation is being violated. Implement, own and protect the development plan

Who is going to make the DP?

The public authority responsible for the revision of the DP is the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai (MCGM). For the revision of the DP, the MCGM has selected an external consultant through a tendering process who has already started working. The people of Mumbai have a say in the process of preparation of the DP as it is going to affect them for a period of 20 years or more.
