Abstract: The *Environment Status of Brihanmumbai 2010–2011* provides a detailed assessment of Mumbai’s natural, infrastructural, and socio-environmental conditions. It covers land use, water supply, rainwater harvesting, sewage disposal, storm-water drainage, solid waste management, power consumption, and transport systems. Social aspects such as housing, slums, education, and health are analyzed for their environmental impact. Key indicators, including air quality, noise levels, and land use changes, are documented. Industrial activities, wastes, and hazards are assessed, alongside disaster management practices. The report highlights major challenges and presents the city’s environmental status, offering insights to guide sustainable urban planning and policymaking.
