TAKE ACTION! VOTE!

Vote? Dharavi produces 1/6th of India's GDP. Its a driver of India's growth. You can't get rid of it, so get used to it. It might be ugly, but Mumbai can't function without it.

Dharavi produces 1/6th of India's GDP

wtf? its barely 1% of bombay's gdp, let alone 1/6th of india

Dharavi exports goods around the world.[12] The total turnover is estimated to be between 500 million US dollars[13] and over 650 million US dollars per year.[6]

^That's the formal economy. Its estimated that the illegal/informal/black economy far, far outstrips the formal one, and actually drives much of Mumbai and indeed most of India.

According to CIA website India's 2008 GDP was $3.3 trillion (est). You guys can do the math now.

You mean middle right or left of the towers in the center? Anyway, why'd they shrink it?

You mean middle right or left of the towers in the center? Anyway, why'd they shrink it?

meant that as as joke :) ..when we moved in, the 17 story building was the tallest in that area ...now its dwarfed by all the other ones around it. Tons of development in the area. Have been waiting to see pictures of it. Maybe if I can get my brother to click some pictures, I could post some myself.

Some more skyscrapers need to come up between the Imperial Towers and the tall building on the right.

Apart from the imperial towers the rest of the buildings look very cheap. Just look at that tall white building. Far from enhancing the skyline they are eyesore. It is better to have no skyline than these huge ugly things.

Yeah, I prefer glass facades or steel to this addiction to bleached-white and beige buildings.

Ah well, at least they will look good at night.

what building is on the far right?

Hmm that is a fairly recent pic and Orchid Enclave hasn't yet topped out.

Great India - That building is Shreepati Tower (And no, I don't mean Shreepati Arcade)

Powai looks great and love the palm trees.

For once these Hafeez's designed buildings look great.

btw im not a HC hater, some of his designs are good, it only when he gets carried away!

Powai is looking good. Almost a developed area if you get rid of the rickshaws.

Yeah, indeed.

lol honey tum nahi samjho gaye probably because you havent been anywhere else, mumbai is nowhere near the best city in the world specially not for infrastructure and scyscrapers. :lol::lol::lol:

thats quiet an statement to make!!!!!!! thought i totally disagree but this is definately one of the best cities in india by far.

I have comparing the banner to the ones they had for Hong Kong and I definitely think, the skyline in the banner is looking better than any other city in the world. Give it a few more years, with some more buildings to come for construction, this is going to get just better.

I think it may have been around for a while, the pictures are quite old, look like early last year. But they don't have it everywhere yet.

But in the wake of the attacks in 2008, this should not be even an option.

I gonna have to disagree with you, Jihadis don't need Google Street View or any other Google thing to attack us. They will certainly not change their plans just because Google doesn't have the street view of the city.

Exactly!

They used pocket guides and maps to the city which is available everywhere.

Great photos though, some of the best in quality.

My only major gripe is that I think Marine Drive needs palm trees along its entire strech as it would look magnificent and deserving of a promanade such as this.

ya..the palm trees will make it look really good....along the lines of LA streets or miami etc

Pleeeease message me on how to get street view. It's not working on my comp for some reason.

It was already on mine. But they also have 360 Cities, you can try that.

Thanks :happy:

Pleeeease message me on how to get street view. It's not working on my comp for some reason.

These are not street views. Instead these are 360 Degree pics of some selected areas. In case you haven’t noticed, they create street view while driving on the street not at the side walk as you can see in Haji Ali and Oberoi Hotel’s pictures.

Nice one.

Wow!

Fab pics.

good landscaping as well..

I'm hoping the next buildings that come up have a little more meat. These guys are looking awfully thin from the side :(

Probably coz the builder was a vegetarian.:lol:

God, what a ugly skyline :ohno: Tear down Privthi Apartments & the two buildings to the left of the hospital. The best view of the skyline is Worli.

Hopefully, the Charni Road area development plan will change the skyline and invite more builders to build supertalls in that area which will redefine the skyline.

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2608/4139800343_17784dd25b.jpg

Looks pretty at night when you can't see the buildings just the lights. And is that lights one in The Legend?

Legend is not in that photo, is further back and I stil dont think its finished yet.

Its the second one from the left. But I think it might just be the sky comming through

^^ What is the glassy building like a terminal in the middle?

Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel indoor stadium

Ok. BTW very nice building to be a stadium.

Its still stuck in litigation, is'nt it ?

litigations, court cases, embezzlement allegations..you name it, it's got everything stopping it from being completed.

btw when I was in Bbay recently, my driver (he was a townie) tried passing it off as the Wankhede :sleepy:

This is one heck of a stadium. Too bad, its facing the legal issues.

Legal issues? Isn't is part of NSCI club? If I'm not mistaken, I've been in there and visited the squash courts.

the annexe to the stadium (with the new squash courts, best in bombay) is operational

the main stadium is slated to open sometime this year. the legal issues involved the committee members passing off expenditure of the stadium in a shady manner. people wanted to know what amount was spent on what

I remember some guy behind the building of this stadium had been eating away at the funds and had stopped construction for a while. So it may take some time before such idiots come clean.

@ powai: the rusty ol' black and yellows are being progressively replaced by low-end Marutis and Hyundais, so cheer up! It's not all bad.

well well well...looks who's in Bombay again. CCI's pretty good. When I was in town recently, I stopped by for lunch just outside at Pizzeria and then headed in for a quick dip in the pool. I heard they have a big nice library as well.

Mumbai is the best city in Inda guys! i don't mean to offend you all in this forum but, i think cityscapes of Delhi look better coz they are open and panoramic. the buildings and skyline are a kind of "USP" of mumbai. but look at makati skyline man, will mumbai be ever able to match it!! that "USP" of skyline that mumbai boasts of looks like nothing to me. at least delhi can be smug about wider roads and open spaces ans flyovers and metro!!!

Boss those bridges (like the Marine Drive and some at Charni Road stations) have been home to advertisements for a long time. Actually, if anyone noticed it. We complain about Skywalks, right?

But there is a bridge on the east side of Charni road station. When you go from Mangalwadi and take the bridge, there's actually a long bridge taking you to the station. Now that actually is a skywalk. I have been using it since kid and it serves a great purpose as well. The other thing I like about it is that the Charni road station has fences around and it acts as a fortification. But there are still miscreants who like to break the rules and remove a fence or two to use the short cut to the station.

I am being a hypocrite right now, but I don't want anymore of those MMRDA skywalks. They are fugly. Honestly.

Hey Bharatiya, no problem!

hey bhartiya. i thought you were US citizen and living in USA. are you in India for a visit or you got some business over there?
if you dont mind answering ofcourse. it is kinda surprise for me that a US citizen is living in India.

No, what I meant was when I go to Bombay for holiday I have a place there, on AK Marg. :)

yea that is B.E.S.T's way of phasing out / replacing old buses. I think we will hopefully get some modern buses and not some rehashed junk buses by march

now look at this: see how the flex of advertisement is ruining the look. so annoying. looks like crazy mallya wants to paint every city of india RED

he pays the city for that

I dont mind if he paints everything red is he pays up

Wonderful collection of pics!

Thanks for sharing, its been a pleasure looking at these.

South Mumbai is very nice & clean.

My only gripe is that Palm Trees could have planted on Marine Drive & not those small trees.

yea that is B.E.S.T's way of phasing out / replacing old buses. I think we will hopefully get some modern buses and not some rehashed junk buses by march

The city definitely deserves better. I saw some buses in Chandigarh on other thread and the tourist bus is awesome. Our tourist bus looks like a piece of crap.

My only gripe is that Palm Trees could have planted on Marine Drive & not those small trees.
I think the bmc have bought some plants or palm trees similar to what you have in the mumbai airport .they will be planting them all along the marine drive and later all over mumbai probably areas like versova juhu area .Only problem who is gonna look after them?

yea that is B.E.S.T's way of phasing out / replacing old buses. I think we will hopefully get some modern buses and not some rehashed junk buses by march


Do we have any mockup / design of the new BEST buses due to be coming soon ?

sorry for diverting the topic in the above lines.

If the old buildings are restored, slums redeveloped & infrastructure is improved Mumbai would be a world class city (almost)

My only gripe is that Palm Trees could have planted on Marine Drive & not those small trees.

Maybe these are no or less maintenance compared to palm trees, well thats if you mean coconut palms.

Why erstwhile ? :)

Some fallacy in my thought process. I assumed that the concrete jungle would have engulfed and taken over the leafy jungle given the rate Indian cities are growing. My bad. :bash:
