India experienced a phenomenal rate of urban growth during the 25 years following [[Indian independence movement|independence]] and Mumbai always has had its due share in it. The population of [[Mumbai|Greater Mumbai]] rose from 2.966 million in 1951 to 4.152 million in 1961 and to 5.970 million in 1971, registering 40.0 and 43.80 percent growths during the first and second decades respectively. The rapid rate of growth of population, made possible by the increasing industrial and commercial importance of the city, resulted in a fast deterioration in the quality of life for the majority of people living in the city. Development inputs could not keep pace with the rapidly growing population, industry, trade and commerce. Besides, there are physical limitations to the growth of a city built on a long and narrow peninsula, which has very few connections with the mainland. | India experienced a phenomenal rate of urban growth during the 25 years following [[Indian independence movement|independence]] and Mumbai always has had its due share in it.

The Government of [[Maharashtra]] has been alive to the emerging problems of this metropolis. Responsible public opinion was equally vigilant and several constructive suggestions appeared from time to time in the press and elsewhere. All this helped in keeping the problems of Bombay in the forefront of public awareness. In 1958, the Govt. of Bombay appointed a study group under the Chairmanship of Shri S.G. Barve, Secretary to Government, Public Works Department, to consider the problems relating to congestion of traffic, deficiency of open spaces and playfields, shortage of housing and over-concentration of industry in the metropolitan and suburban areas of Bombay, and to recommend specific measures to deal with these. | The Government of [[Maharashtra]] has been alive to the emerging problems of this metropolis.

The | The Barve Group reported in February 1959. One of its major recommendations was that a rail-cum-road bridge is built across the [[Thane Creek]] to connect peninsular Mumbai with the mainland. The group felt that the bridge would accelerate development across the Creek, relieve pressure on the city's railways and roadways, and draw away industrial and residential concentrations eastward to the mainland. The Group hoped that the eastward development would be orderly and would take place in a planned manner. | ||
The Government of Maharashtra accepted the Barve Group recommendation. Another Committee under the Chairmanship of Prof. D.R. Gadgil, then Director of the Gokhale Institute of Politics and Economics, Poona was formed and asked: “to formulate broad principles of regional planning for the metropolitan regions of Mumbai [[Panvel]] and [[Pune]] and to make recommendations for the establishment of Metropolitan Authorities for preparation and execution of such plans”. | The Government of Maharashtra accepted the Barve Group recommendation.

The Gadgil Committee inter-alia made two important recommendations which have influenced the planning for Navi Mumbai. One, a planned decentralisation of industries with severe restrictions on further industrial growth in the Bombay region. Two, development of the mainland area as a multi-nucleated settlement, each settlement smaller in size than 250,000 population. These multi-nucleated settlements are called nodes in the plan, where the entire development is proposed as a series of nodes strung out along the mass transit area. The nodes proposed by us are, however, more closely spaced than the multi-nucleated settlements envisaged by Dr. Gadgil. But the principle remains of individual settlements, self-contained in respect of schools and shopping and other essential services and separated from each other by green spaces. | The Gadgil Committee inter-alia made two important recommendations which have influenced the planning for Navi Mumbai.

The Maharashtra Regional and Town Planning Act was passed in 1966 and brought into force in January 1967. The [[Mumbai Metropolitan Region|Bombay Metropolitan Region]] was notified in June 1967 and a Regional Planning Board constituted under the Chairmanship of Shri L.G. Rajwade, I.C.S. The Draft Regional Plan of the Board was finalised in January 1970. It proposed the development of a twin city across the harbour, on the mainland to the east, as a counter-magnet to the office concentration taking place at the [[South Mumbai|southern tip]] of Bombay. The alternative growth pole was to siphon off the over-concentration of jobs and population which further growth would cause in the city and reallocate these on the mainland.

In 1973, the [[Vashi]] bridge was opened to the public for residents of [[Vashi]], [[CBD Belapur]] and [[Nerul]]. The Sion-Panvel Highway was built to reduce the time taken to travel from Sion to Panvel. Initially, there was not much response to the new city. Major changes took place only after 1990, with the commissioning of a wholesale agricultural produce market at Turbhe and the construction of a commuter railway line from Mankhurd to Vashi in May 1992. These developments caused a sudden growth in economic activities and population in Navi Mumbai. | In 1973, the [[Vashi]] bridge was opened to the public for residents of [[Vashi]], [[CBD Belapur]] and [[Nerul]].
