  Navi Mumbai - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Navi Mumbai (erstwhile: New Bombay) is a satellite twin of the city of Mumbai, India.
Navi Mumbai was carefully planned keeping in mind the population boom of the future;in fact, it is the largest planned new city in the world.
Criminal activities in Navi Mumbai are usually on the scale of chain/cellphone snatchings, vehicle thefts and burglaries involving unoccupied houses, but murder and armed robbery takes place in significant numbers [3].

In Mumbai, had encroachments on the Mithi river and the seawater channel to Mumbai Harbour been prevented, and had the city’s storm-drain system been progressively upgraded to meet the surging demands of a burgeoning population, the floodwaters would have drained out to sea as the rain was falling.
In Mumbai, the issue of class came to the fore as many of the 4 to 5 million migrant workers living in unauthorized settlements lost their life possessions.
In New Orleans, the issue of race (and, by implication, class) resurfaced as poor fls living in the low-lying slums bore the brunt of the damage and suffering.

 The Hindu : Magazine / Columns : Mumbai's tragedy
The reality of course is that a new Mumbai cannot be built on the corpses of its poor, the very people who hold up the city.
In Mumbai, the story of the anti-Sikh riots and the absence of justice is a reminder of the killings of 1992-93 after the demolition of the Babri Masjid.
The irony is further compounded by the fact that Mumbai has been chosen as the place to try two important cases from the more recent Gujarat killings of 2002 where, once again, the role of the police and of politicians was central.

 For a new Mumbai, at great cost
The Rs.31,000-crore project for Mumbai has an admirable intention, to turn the metropolis into a liveable and efficient place, but the question being asked is whether it can be redeveloped on the debris of thousands of shanties.
With the Congress-Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) alliance back in power, the "Vision Mumbai" project appears to be back on the agenda and Deshmukh, in his second term, is determined to "make Mumbai into Shanghai", as promised by the alliance in its election manifesto.
Although the intention to turn Mumbai into a liveable and efficient city is not being questioned, the point is whether it can be redeveloped on the debris of thousands of shanties.

 Torrential Rain Reveals Booming Mumbai's Frailties - New York Times
NEW DELHI, Aug. 2 - The monsoon season this year brought India the mantle of a would-be world power with nuclear weapons in its arsenal and a friend in George W. Bush.
Mumbai's ambitions to become a world-class city like Shanghai, as it was once suggested, or Dubai, as it was suggested before that, fell under a wet blanket.
A member of Parliament from Mumbai, Milind Deora, seized on it as an opportunity to devolve power to city officials who would be accountable to citizens; currently, a state-appointed municipal commissioner is technically responsible for the city.

 Mumbai & New Orleans: A Tale of Two Cities
The citizens of Mumbai, including those living in the slums, came forward to help the hundreds who were stuck in cars and buses for extended periods.
The e-mails and the articles began making their rounds amongst Indians and NRIs, turning New Orleans into an example of how the United States was wrong about almost everything, and how (pick your country or region) was the shining example of how to respond to a disaster.
In some sense, the Indian reaction to New Orleans is symptomatic of a nation that has gone from self-deprecation in the stagnant 1960s and 1970s to self-glorification in the roaring 2000s.

That’s why I’m in Mumbai, because this city is the center of India’s commercial and financial sectors.
And these two trends have provided the foundation for this new relationship, which has been emerging over the last decade, which is now advancing quite rapidly over the last several years.
So now we are suggesting a new phase in the diplomacy, and we are dedicated to a diplomatic solution to this problem -- and that is to have the International Atomic Energy Agency refer the issue of Iran to the Security Council, because the Security Council is the supreme international multilateral body.

Hotel accommodation at Mumbai will be provided by Air India at its expense, to all passengers booked to travel to London/New York from Delhi, he said.
While these changes would entail a passenger departing from Delhi to leave for Mumbai almost 12 hours prior to his scheduled departure, it would help avoid uncertainty, disruption in his schedule, etc. besides avoiding a situation whereby passengers of fog-affected flights have had to wait at the Delhi airport for endless hours.
Likewise, all flights from New York/London-Delhi will also be terminated in Mumbai, with Delhi-bound passengers transported by a special flight departing from Mumbai at 11.00 a.m.

I reminded him that Mumbai, the country’s financial capital, was home to nearly 15 million people, which is far more than the population of many countries in Europe.
I was reminded of the challenge Mumbai and its courageous people faced while watching the incredible and disturbing scenes of total devastation and human suffering in America’s South on US television networks.
While Mumbai had no way of foreseeing and thus preparing for the incessant and destructive spell of rains it grappled with recently, it is not possible to argue that the US administration didn’t see the hurricane Katrina coming.

 Mukesh Ambani 's great gamble
With its own dedicated airport, a rapid transit sea-link connecting it with Mumbai, and living conditions on par with the swankiest, most sophisticated cities of the world.
And in case you still want to visit Mumbai (for the culture, presumably, or to visit friends and relatives), a new 22.5 km long, six-lane highway will arc across the sea to get you to central Mumbai in just 30 minutes.
What's more interesting, Navi Mumbai's jet-setters may not have to use the sea-link as often as they imagine; with an airport mooted as part of the essential infrastructure in the SEZs, they won't need to come to the existing Mumbai airport to take a flight out.
