Competition | Redesigning Maharashtra Nature Park, Mumbai
LA 51 |
|
| The two major components of the competition are - the comprehensive makeover of the Maharashtra Nature Park (MNP) and a pedestrian-and cyclist only bridge over the Mithi River. While the Maharashtra Nature Park is a unique 37-acre forested park established upon a former garbage dump along the south bank of the Mithi River, Mithi River Bridge would be a vital pedestrian connectivity expected to see over 50,000 users daily. The context of the competition is further shaped by plans to clean the Mithi River, to develop the Bandra-Kurla Complex (BKC) and by the future urban renewal of Dharavi - India's most prominent informal settlement. |
