Regional Planning for Bombay

Shirish B Patel Bombay is the third city in India to have undertaken some form of metropolitan planning on a regional scale, earlier instances being those of Delhi and Calcutta. It is the fifth, if one includes also the quite valuable regional planning work that has centred on two other urban areas, Mysore and Kanpur. The Bombay Metropolitan Regional Planning Board thus had a great deal to go on by way of precedent.
