The Mumbai Metropolitan Region,
home to 1.8 crore people, is driven predominantly by a will
to succeed. But, with its ever-expanding population and spheres
of activity, there is an emergent need to feed this growth
by providing futuristic enabling mechanisms, and, revamping
or reviving those parts of its character that have fallen
into disuse.
To steer the region's growth, there are several agencies
like Metropolitan Mumbai Region Development Authority (MMRDA),
Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai (MCGM), Maharashtra
Housing and Area Development Authority (MHADA), Mumbai Rail
Vikas Corporation (MRVC), etc.
The Mumbai Transformation Support Unit (MTSU) is an initiative
of the World Bank, Cities Alliance, USAID, All India Institute
of Local Self-Government and Government of Maharashtra. It
was set up in 2005 to facilitate the process of Mumbai's transformation
by advising on, co-ordinating and monitoring projects undertaken
these agencies to improve quality of life in Mumbai.
MTSU's focus areas are physical and social infrastructure,
environment, housing, governance, strategic planning and economic
growth. Its canvas is therefore huge. From slum rehabilitation
to rent control, from the Navi Mumbai airport to the Wadala
truck terminal, from MUIP to MUTP, from health to education,
from sanitation to beautification, it seeks to set the wheels
in motion to reform and transform Mumbai into a city we can
all be proud of.
