Abstract: The *Twin City for Bombay* concept proposes developing a new urban center across the harbour to address Bombay’s growing challenges like congestion, housing shortages, and infrastructure deficits. This vision includes creating a Metro-Centre and Satellite City (e.g., Navi Mumbai), decentralizing economic and administrative functions. Key issues explored include infrastructure, mass transport, industrial growth, and sustainable development. The plan also addresses slum rehabilitation, rural integration, and governance reforms. With insights into socio-economic characteristics and environmental concerns, the document provides a comprehensive view of the opportunities and challenges in creating a balanced, sustainable urban future for the Bombay Metropolitan Region.
