===Development of Bandra as a Commercial Hub=== | ===Development of Bandra as a Commercial Hub=== | ||
As traffic in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region worsened, especially in South Mumbai, there was increased demand to construct a business district outside of Mumbai, in the suburbs. In the mid-2000s, the city of Bandra started an audacious task to reclaim lands on the [[Mithi River]] in the eastern portion of the city, near the [[Kurla]] border. The newly formed [[Bandra-Kurla Complex]] (BKC) has attracted several equity and technology firms, such as Blackstone, Google, and Amazon, who chose Bandra instead of Mumbai City for its location, lower-cost of land, and new development. | As traffic in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region worsened, especially in South Mumbai, there was increased demand to construct a business district outside of Mumbai, in the suburbs.
