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.
The city's or area history dates back to the late 1500s when [[Janjira State|Siddis of Janjira]] built the [[Belapur Fort|Belapur Killa]] located atop a hillock, near the mouth of the Panvel Creek. In 1682, the fort was captured by the Portuguese, who had managed to annex the regions controlled by the Siddis, near Belapur.


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.
In 1733, the [[Maratha Empire|Marathas]], led by [[Chimaji Appa]], wrested control of the fort from the Portuguese. He had made a vow that if it were to be successfully recaptured from the Portuguese, he would place a garland of ''beli'' leaves in a nearby Amruthaishwar temple, and after the victory the fort was christened as Belapur Fort. The Marathas ruled the area until 23 June 1817, when it was captured by Captain Charles Gray of the [[East India Company|British East India Company]]. The British partially destroyed the fort under their policy of razing any Maratha stronghold in the area.

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 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. The rapid rate of growth of population resulted in a fast deterioration in the quality of life for the majority of people living in the city.


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 formed a committee under the Chairmanship of Prof. D. R. Gadgil 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 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.

Two, development of the mainland area as a multi-nucleated settlement, each settlement smaller in size than 250,000 population.


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 making this recommendation, the Board was influenced by various factors such as the existing industrial sites in the Thane-[[CBD Belapur|Belapur]] area and [[Taloja Panchnad|Taloja]], the imminent completion of the Thane Creek Bridge and the proposal of the [[Bombay Port Trust]] to establish a new port at [[Nhava Sheva]].

The Board recommended that the new metro-centre or Navi Mumbai as it is now called, be developed to accommodate a population of 2.1 million.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cidco.maharashtra.gov.in/NM_Evolution_NewBombay.aspx|title=CIDCO :: Evolution of Navi Mumbai|website=Cidco.maharashtra.gov.in|access-date=10 August 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170810171642/http://www.cidco.maharashtra.gov.in/NM_Evolution_NewBombay.aspx|archive-date=10 August 2017|url-status=live|df=dmy-all}}</ref>

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.

The decision propounds that instead of merging the administration of newly developed nodes of Navi Mumbai including [[New Panvel]], [[Kamothe]], [[Kalamboli]], [[Kharghar]], parts of [[Uran]] and developing nodes of [[Ulwe]] and [[Dronagiri]], which are currently overseen by CIDCO, with [[Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation|NMMC]], they should be incorporated under the proposed [[Panvel Municipal Corporation]]. This opinion is the result of a political agenda. The fact is, of the total 14 nodes of Navi Mumbai 7 are under NMMC and the rest are under CIDCO. NMMC's jurisdiction is limited within the boundaries of the [[Thane district]], which is a foothold of the [[Nationalist Congress Party]], while the remaining nodes are in the [[Raigad district]], where parties like [[Bharatiya Janata Party]], [[Shiv Sena]] and [[Peasants and Workers Party of India]] are most active. Hence, the local politicians, especially Panvel [[Member of the Legislative Assembly (India)|MLA]] [[Prashant Thakur]], oppose the merger of all the nodes under one Municipal Corporation citing political conspiracy.<ref>{{citation |title=Panvel MLA opposes merger of developed nodes with Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation |url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/navi-mumbai/Panvel-MLA-opposes-merger-of-developed-nodes-with-Navi-Mumbai-Municipal-Corporation/articleshow/26494573.cms |location=Navi Mumbai |author=George Mendonca |agency=[[Times News Network|TNN]] |publisher=[[The Times of India|TOI]] |date=28 November 2013 |access-date=20 December 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180703120154/https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/navi-mumbai/Panvel-MLA-opposes-merger-of-developed-nodes-with-Navi-Mumbai-Municipal-Corporation/articleshow/26494573.cms |archive-date=3 July 2018 |url-status=live |df=dmy-all }}</ref><ref>{{citation |title=Upgrade Panvel council to corporation level rather merging it with civic body, says Prashant Thakur |url=http://www.dnaindia.com/mumbai/report-upgrade-panvel-council-to-corporation-level-rather-merging-it-with-civic-body-says-prashant-thakur-1926664 |location=Panvel |author=Rahul M Tawade |agency=[[Daily News and Analysis|DNA]] |publisher=[[Daily News and Analysis|DNA]] |date=29 November 2013 |access-date=20 December 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151224035206/http://www.dnaindia.com/mumbai/report-upgrade-panvel-council-to-corporation-level-rather-merging-it-with-civic-body-says-prashant-thakur-1926664 |archive-date=24 December 2015 |url-status=live |df=dmy-all }}</ref> In [[Panvel Municipal Corporation]] BJP is in power and [[Peasants and Workers Party of India]] leading the opposition represent by Pritam Mhatre.<ref>{{cite web|title=महाआघाडीच्या गटनेतेपदी प्रीतम म्हात्रे|url=https://maharashtratimes.com/maharashtra/navi-mumbai/preetam-mhatre-elected-as-groupleader-of-alliance/articleshow/59042202.cms|website=Maharashtra Times}}</ref>

The '''Navi Mumbai Metro''' is an under construction rapid transit system in Navi Mumbai. A network of as many as six lines have been planned of which four lines will be constructed by CIDCO in the Navi Mumbai south region, the second and third line of the metro system will be constructed by NMMC and [[Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority|MMRDA]] respectively. The [[Line 1 (Navi Mumbai Metro)|first line]] of the metro system is being constructed by CIDCO. This line includes three phases. In the first phase, the line will join the [[CBD Belapur railway station|CBD Belapur]] station on the [[Mumbai Suburban Railway|Mumbai suburban railway]] and Pendhar village. In the second phase, the line will join Taloja [[Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation|MIDC]] and [[Khandeshwar]] node (which will be extended to the [[Navi Mumbai International Airport]] in [[Ulwe]] node of the city), and in the third phase, the line will link the '''Pendhar''' and [[Taloja Panchnad|Taloja MIDC]] metro stations. The first phase of the line 1 is slated to become operational by 2020 and [[CIDCO]] has claimed to make the network of its four lines fully operational by 2022-2023 along with operationalisation of the city's International Airport in Ulwe node. The cost of the metro project has risen from 4,163 crore for 21.45&nbsp;km in 2011 to 8,904 crore for 26.26&nbsp;km in 2018.

The main problem which the residents face is poor connectivity with [[Mumbai]], with only two road links between the two cities and a single rail line. A [[hovercraft]] service from [[Vashi]] to [[Colaba]] and the CBD to Colaba did not succeed due to the high cost of tickets and maintenance. CIDCO is planning to relaunch its [[Water transport in Mumbai|hovercraft service]] from [[Vashi]], [[CBD Belapur|Belapur]], [[Nerul]] and [[Airoli]] to [[Gateway of India]].
