Mumbai Coastal Rd. Project
Re: above, I wish to see the above and the other Mumbai Port and/or East Coast redevelopment as an excuse to conduct massive land reclamation for paid public use and recreational purposes like parking, malls, open air theaters, misc. public places like Delhi Haat style paid stalls and specially lots and lots of sports facilities for cricket, football, badminton, tennis that take up a lot of space at ground level.
BMC can plan and migrate said public spaces from within the city and even un-lock value by re-purposing existing public venues as paid for projects by conversion to malls, real-estate while 'shifting' their brand value to the reclamation. For eg. as Mahalaxmi racecourse becomes a political hot potato, it can be converted to a massive, for profit-hotel, casino cum convention center district and the money raised can go to buidling 1/2 dozen racecourses on the reclamation all along the the coast, why should SoBo have all the fun and why not others.
This may boost real-estate all along the coast and that can be factored in to the reclamation.
After all their are no slums in the ocean so not so much resistance except for the sea shore facing property holders, but they cna be co-opted by making them stake-holders in the reclamation and by keeping the reclamation below eye-level blockage of views.

" Delhi's unemployment rate decreased from 12.57% in 1999–2000 to 4.63% in 2003.[120] In December 2004, 636,000 people were registered with various employment exchange programmes in Delhi.[120] In 2001 the total workforce in national and state governments and the quasi-government sector was 620,000, and the private sector employed 219,000.[120]

- On another topic, India's GST is bringing in $ 20 Billion/month. GST will stabilise to $ 250 Billion/yr.
Software exports @ $108 Billion, Remittances are $ 65 Billion, Oil, Diamonds, Pharma, Textiles are each @ 25 Billion and growing. Auto and auto parts have lots of room to grow @ $10 Billion.
All is well, the future is bright. Exports are a mix of sunrise and country advantage items like textiles, imports are likely to decline over time; specially energy imports.
- On yet another topic, Delhi NCR has 110 million sq./ft of office space. Interestingly, almost 100 million of that is prime, Grade - A office space filled by the likes of Google, MS, IBM, Accenture, Deloitte, Cap Gemini, SAP, Oracle, HCL, Cognizant, Infosys, Hauwei, Samsung, Global Airline, Consulting and specially Telecom offices. And of course the Govt. of India.
- So I took 110 million / Delh NCR population 17 million = 6.8

- Key service industries are information technology, telecommunications, hotels, banking, media and tourism.[121]
- Construction, power, health and community services and real estate are also important to the city's economy. Delhi has one of India's largest and fastest growing retail industries.[122]
- Manufacturing also grew considerably as consumer goods companies established manufacturing units and headquarters in the city. In 2001, the manufacturing sector employed 1,440,000 workers and the city had 129,000 industrial units. Delhi's large consumer market and the availability of skilled labour has also attracted foreign investment.
