Mumbai skyline changing rapidly
Mumbai’s skyline is changing rapidly as more and more skyscrapers are soaring into the sky.
On the backdrop of the city’s high population density, developers argue that high-rises are more convenient and hold the answer to the city’s housing problems.
Until now, the 60-storied Imperial Towers at Tardeo which was built in 2010, is the tallest building in the city. However, a dozen buildings taller than the Imperial Towers are nearing completion and construction of about 50 towers with as many floors is underway and at least 100 more buildings higher than 70m are in different stages of execution across Mumbai.
The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation’s (BMC) high-rise committee cleared 78 towers just last month, paving way for more skyscrapers.
Lalbaug, Parel and Sewri – areas which until a few years ago had settlements for housing mill workers and lower-income groups, are underway a sea change. Old dilapidated structures are disappearing and high rise apartments are dotting the cityscape.
