Abstract: The Regional Plan for Bombay Metropolitan Region 1970-91 presents a 21-year framework for the region’s planned development. It begins with a detailed survey highlighting demographic, economic, and infrastructural features and identifies key planning challenges such as urban congestion, resource management, and spatial imbalances. The plan sets clear aims for sustainable growth, economic efficiency, and improved living standards. It proposes strategies for land use, transportation, housing, industry, and social infrastructure, accompanied by implementation and financing recommendations. Statistical tables, maps, and charts support data-driven decisions. Overall, the plan serves as a comprehensive blueprint for balanced, coordinated, and sustainable regional development.
