Mumbai Sees Growth in Redevelopment Projects with Corporate and Community Involvement

Experts highlight the need for stronger planning, safeguards against delays and financial risks, and incorporation of sustainable practices such as rainwater harvesting and solar energy to ensure orderly development and infrastructure support.
