Mumbai is building up — but are we building smart? Redevelopment is transforming the city, but this is more than an exercise in building higher. It’s our chance to redefine neighbourhoods as holistic ecosystems — where housing, healthcare, mobility, open spaces, and climate resilience come together. As architects and urban designers, we are ready to shape such environments. The global playbook exists — from Singapore’s green density, to Barcelona’s community design, to Copenhagen’s climate resilience. What’s missing is the policy framework that allows us to scale these ideas beyond individual plots, into neighbourhood-scale redevelopment. True progress will come when redevelopment moves from plot-by-plot approvals to integrated planning that ensures: 🌸 Walkable, connected communities 🌸 Infrastructure that keeps pace with density 🌸 Climate-resilient and inclusive design 🌸 Alignment with SDGs 11, 6, 13, and 3 The profession is ready. The solutions are clear. Now it’s about policy and collective action to make Mumbai not just taller, but truly future-ready. #Mumbai #Redevelopment #UrbanPlanning #SustainableCities #Architects #PolicyChange #UrbanDesign #FutureReady #WalkableCities #ClimateResilience #InclusiveGrowth #SmartPlanning #SDG11
