Abstract: The Environment Status of Brihanmumbai 2014-2015 provides a detailed overview of Mumbai’s environmental, social, and infrastructural conditions. It covers the city’s geography, population, land use, housing, slums, and recreation facilities, while highlighting natural resources such as mangroves and water supply, including rainwater harvesting initiatives. The report examines urban infrastructure, including sewage, stormwater drainage, solid waste management, power supply, roads, traffic, and transport systems. Environmental quality is assessed through air and noise pollution, industrial hazards, and public health. Education, disaster management, and initiatives like Safarr Mumbai are discussed, alongside key challenges and strategies for sustainable urban development.
