Abstract: This book examines the structure and functioning of the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai (MCGM) and its Ward Administration. It begins with introductory insights, followed by an exploration of MCGM’s history, organization, and administrative roles in managing Mumbai. The focus then shifts to ward-level governance, emphasizing decentralized administration, service delivery, and community involvement. The final section reflects on MCGM’s past successes and challenges, while proposing future strategies for urban governance. Aimed at policymakers, scholars, and practitioners, this work offers a comprehensive understanding of Mumbai’s municipal governance and the complexities of managing a major metropolitan city.
