Mumbai Coastal Road Gardens Final Plan Limits Ticketed Areas to 15 Percent
The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) will soon release the final master plan for the Mumbai Coastal Road Gardens, a 70-hectare waterfront urban open space from Priyadarshini Park to Worli. Following Supreme Court directives, Reliance Industries has revised the plan to limit ticketed recreational areas to 15% per zone. While Reliance Foundation will execute the project, architects and planners have criticized the introduction of paid access, arguing it contradicts the original intent of fully public open spaces funded through CSR.
