What a contrast between Bandra W and Worli. Bandra W is very dense and deprived of open space with all those low/ mid rises. Andheri W should be even worse with taller (than Bandra) buildings and no open space.

A few pics i took when i was at s. mumbai...

Does anyone else feel that the extra strip of land protruding out from worli(?) end of bandra-worli sea link looks weird? Wonder if anything can be done with it if it all. They should camouflage it somehow. :lol:

Well it is the Worli fishermen's village. The only thing they should do about it is give them proper housing.

it is also the site of the worli fort.

The Worli Fort and the surrounding area should be made into a proper waterfront area for tourists and give the Worli fishing village proper housing.

It will not happen any time soon. They have not been able to do anything with the Colaba/Nariman point areas as well. There are just plans, more plans and even more plans. Unfortunately there is vested interest amongst sections of politicians, bureacrats, social activists and NGOs to maintain the status quo of hopelessness.

KB, thanks for sharing the awesome street level images of Mumbai. :cheers:It is great to see the roads and buildings in older parts of the city well maintained

This is an angle we usually dont see Suncity. Has this been taken from Navi Mumbai/Uran?

If you are talking about the panorama with RNA Mirage to Planet Godrej, I think it is taken from somewhere near Walkeshwar or the Malabar Hill area.

yes. looking over hanging gardens, so probably somewhere on ridge road

Great panorama!

i dont know. Looking at some of the cityscapes around SSC mumbai in comparison does have a very ugly skyline.

Maybe due to residential highrises...

Mumbai's primary skyline is composed of residential blocks, something that is hidden in the background in most cities whose primary skyline comprises the CBD.

i dont know. Looking at some of the cityscapes around SSC mumbai in comparison does have a very ugly skyline.

Maybe due to residential highrises...

Maybe because buildings are old and most of them have same colour (off white). It still doesn't looks that bad but the worse thing in Mumbai is the advertisement hoardings everywhere. BMC should keep a check on their numbers instead of just looking for revenues.

Nice pictures.

Nariman Point always interests me.

Most of the buildings should be re-cladded here to give it a more 21st look and feel eps. Express Towers.

The Trident, Oberoi and Air India Buildings are very well maintained & still look modern even though they are old buildings.

Yeah. I kinda agree. They should start doing that. They are coming up with so many redevelopment plans at NP that you get lost on what are they doing. But again I feel that areas like VT/CST and Flora Fountain should be more organized. It could still be made better.

even nariman point for some reason looks residential than commercial...bring on the glass..

the buildings in nariman point are tasteful though, designed well.

not that great but worth posting

Powai lake has great potential for leisure boating/sailing.

Marine Drive is very busy in the evenings, look at all that traffic! Is it mostly grid-lock in the evenings? Perhaps its a Friday night?

^Powai lake used to be awesome but now slums have sprung up on the periphery of the lake :ohno:

Your joking! The authorities just swing into action but we know that wont happen.

^Powai lake used to be awesome but now slums have sprung up on the periphery of the lake :ohno:

oh the irony in you making that statement after your thoughts in the Dharavi thread......

I think the slums have been removed what with the whole powai lake restoration/desilting process going on.not entirely sure though.

^Powai lake used to be awesome but now slums have sprung up on the periphery of the lake :ohno:

There are so slums around it.There is Hiranandani on one side which is being refurbished,IIT on the east side, A huge garden on the west side, renaissance, marriott hotel on the other side.

wow !! that is some compilation of pics. Brilliant.


The slums are the sore thumb as usual.

:bash:

Methinks in a timeline ... beyond 'Right Now' re: slums

Therfore, Mumbai is the world's biggest under-exploited metropolis. So much develop-able land OMG! Slums, Salt Pans, low rise colonies, run down buildings ...

Future is very bright for intensification in Mumbai ...
Slums, Salt Pans, low rise colonies, run down buildings ...
are the world's biggest builder/developer/real-estate opportunity ... all that is needed are real-life facilitators ... netas if u will ... who can balance profit-greed-need of all stakeholders involved ... ppl. with VISION!

Good news is that is now happening ... we in this thread, media, Globalisation (Slumdog Millionaire), moonshots, nukes is giving Mumbai and India a sense of INDIA-A National Identity ... beyond I, Me, Mine & my village (... hehe ... Jai Kisan, Jai Jawan no more )

Things are changing rapidly ... best thing is die-hard oldtimers ... the aged ... socialists, unionists, gandhiits types who put a spanner in the way of progress are dying out ... Indians of Gen. next are a more confident, less insecure ... more 'Indianised' .... more progressive ...

More get-up-&-go attitude needed.

One day, I'm not sure how soon, Mumbai is going to be one of the most beautiful cities in the world. And the best.

Euro ur Hindi is kinda wack.. samjhoge isnt the same as samjho gaye :lol::lol::lol:
(dont take it personally, it happens when you live abroad) :)

I agree with part 1 above, give it 10 yrs. Part 2 ... hehe ...

Mum-Pu (...hehe just made it up:)) corridor is AWESOME.
Mark my words, Mumbai-Pune corridor ... and Mumbai-Pune-Goa (... Mumpug anyone) triangle ... hehe ... I hope I haven'nt trigerred any separatist ideas ... could turn into the best 'country' in the world! MumPu :cheers:

Another awesome wonder is the Narmada dam + Mumbai-Delhi Corridor coming up (... never mind the bs re: Narmada ...) this is leading to densification of arid habitat, hopefully take some pressure off of Bihari-Bhaiyya types on Mumbai & Delhi with support staff work in farms, factories, labour for construction, drivers etc. while the locals get into setting up industry and white-blue collar work.

For now, India's cities are ghettoised, slumdogged and construction zones ... but for those who look at India as retirement home or pensioners paradise ... check out the thread on Lavasa, Amby Valley ... that's how our cities will look in the future. I mean it, it's no big deal really ... except in the past socialists, communists, unionists froze progress as there was too much British (cities, factories, mills, railways, banks, airlines ... all loo ... sorry 'nationalised' ... or ghettoised maybe the right word)stuff leftover from the empire ... to loot!

Why work when 1 could pass laws to loot ... for eg. why does every city still have huge 'Cantonment' ... these were built to segregate and protect 'goras' from the ... hehe ... natives ... why army/navy don't privatise ... sell .... and move to real bases out of town ... because its loot ... free!

Why .. hehe ... salt pans in Mumbai city ... because Gandhi (nothing against Gandhi but those who perverted his ideas) said so

Shiv Sena effect?

^^:lol: abt time some one noticed that ...

Indiabulls claims it is the best building with all modern features in India. It is not the usual advertising claim. Serious sales pitch

Shiv Sena effect?

thats what i thought when i saw it the first time too
but i think there is a law in MH where u have to list your business name in marathi as well. They should have put a permanent sign board instead of that temperory one. looks cheap.

yes there is a law but most dont follow it and the authorities hardly do anything abt it and hence the shivsena/mns effect

Wow ...great finds MM !

Those were all taken from the Imperial Towers. Anyone who has an apartment there is really lucky. Lets hope one of the residents join SSC. They can give us updates on any projects in South Mumbai.

my friend has bought a flat on the 38th floor. cant wait for him to move in

Man, all your friends might be "bling bling". One has an apartment in Planet Godrej, the other one buys one in Imperial Towers. Cool.

Villa Leocadia is an absolute beauty. Chanced upon it on a random street in Khar. There are a lot of leafy gullies in this relatively less-chaotic north western Bombay hood.

KB

i dont want to pick a fight. I dont mean any disrespect either.

but that villa really by the looks of it needs structural repairs and a lick of paint. I am sure that after restoration it will be a super place.

any reason why its in the state that it is? I am guessing the owners will be pretty rich people living in there.?

do people live in there? my knowledge is quite limited about that area of mumbai

good to see well laid pavements.....

lol, what's to fight about, mate? Villa Leocadia isn't mine, unfortunately. You've got to look beyond the disrespect the owners have doled out to their property. It's an absolute stunner. Don't know about the owners, but I hope they see the light someday, before its too late.

My knowledge about the neighbourhood is nothing to write home about either.

This bungalow looks very familiar. I might have been in there way back in 90s. No Kidding. The architecture was exactly the same, two storey, same old condition, the fencing and the gate, the landscaping, corner bungalow in Khar. This world is pretty small, you never know. But then again, there is more than one bungalow in khar.

cuffe parade and mantralaya are marked wrongly

It'd been a while since I last ventured into Kalina, so I was pleasantly surprised when I saw what looked like an industrial building randomly pop out from behind the service station. It didn't look like it was fully finished, although I can't be entirely sure. I quite like the skin of this building, something akin to an industrial shed. Some of you may remember a render of this building posted on here eons ago...

BombayBoy, when you drive past the Grand Hyatt (eastbound), and make a right at the next traffic light, a bunch of buildings, some u/c, some finished, appear on the right hand side of the road. This road then connects to the BKC. I had no idea, and I feel like I discovered something that day. :)

This pic also a shows how low lying Mumbai is. If there is a tsunami it would submerge the whole southern peninsula.

best place to be on diwali night

The best place to be on a Diwali night is someone's house, drinking. Honestly though, I'd rather watch the lights (minus the noise, smoke, and the masses) from the hill further north.

hmm. good food, air conditioning, wine, firecrackers bursting at eye level, 360 degree view of bombay. i like my family dinners on diwali at pearl of the orient. magical

drinking is every weekend anyways

The Villa was my favourite and would look wonderful after a lick of paint and some repairs.

The BKC is quite impressive.

Such wide and green sidewalks. Great Planning.
and to think, it was built by the civic authorities.
Nice !!!

that area is in a flood zone through.

but its very centrally located in terms of the MMR

when completed I think we will see about 100million sqaure feet of office space in that general area

great pics KB and all

Awww Damn
and there I was giving my first compliment to the civic authorities !!!
Well I hope global warming helps control the floods (just a joke)

But still, it's a nice place nevertheless. It's a step in the right direction

With Bombay being one of the most expensive place to live, can you imagine the return that owner would get if he just invests a small amount in repair !!!

Its Absolutely great that the dome is finally getting repairs/renovation as the stonework went all black!

I was wondering how the renovations on CST where going as it did look rundown and neglected.

It will look awesome once the dome is complete and look majestic again.

If you didn't know this building is the most photographed building after the Taj Mahal in (Agra) India.

this is actually regal circle

South Mumbai looks fab!

South Mumbai looks fab!

Yep. Doesn't looks like rest of the city or country. It would look even better if you remove some unwanted things, like cycle rickshaws, large hoardings etc.

Ichi Boss...

Amazing pictures. This is what I am talking about.

What? Cycle rickshaws? When were they in Mumbai? I haven't seen any in my entire life.

Stunning shots, Ichi.

BTW Floating Gardens? I thought it was called Hanging gardens :nuts:

We don't have cycle rickshaws in the Bombay metropolitan region.

Then how people commute for short distances (0.5km - 1km) ?

taxi or bus

no autorickshaws in south bombay either

for short distances a taxi is 13 bucks anyways

i usually walk that distance 0.5 to 1km

I am talking about commutes within the residential sectors. Buses are not available inside the colonies/residential sectors. For example you may need to go to the main road for nearest bus stop which is 0.5 km away from your house. In that case, how people manage. Calling a taxi for riding a bus looks unlikely.

lol people walk dude

it takes 6-7 minutes to walk 0.5km for an average person.

I dont understand your question. Most mumbaikars walk-train/bus-walk to work. Very few of overall mumbaikars take a car to work.

when i commuted from Mulund east to Matunga during my college years

I walked to mulund station(about 0.6km)-I took a train to Matunga- and i walked to my college(about 1km) the whole thing took me about 1 hour (from house to college)

yeah. why would you want some poor, emaciated dude on a cycle to haul your fat ass a distance of 500m or so. everyone walks that distance

Dont tell me abhi you use public transport to reach ya destination 0.5-1km away?

Many people here use their personal vehicles for long distance commute and use use cycle rickshaws for short distance. Also people use them from say bus stop or metro station to their home. I prefer walking, except in a hot summer noon.

well thats just screwed up IMO

I have visited NYC and London as a tourist and even in those place most people walk to their destination 1km away

1km is what 12min walk?

I remember walking with an umbrella even in the heavy monsoons.

keeps ya fit as well.

Obviously if i have a private car then i would use it especially in the monsoon. But no cycle rickshaw.

Might as well buy a cycle and use that yourself for 2-3 min.
