Mumbai\u2019s character is even better.\u201d He emphasized that other cities should aspire to emulate Mumbai instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Addressing Infrastructure and Housing Gaps<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While acknowledging existing gaps, Fadnavis said efforts to bridge them began in 2014. Projects in transport, housing, and city planning have already shown results. \u201cThere are only a few infrastructure and housing gaps left. We began addressing them in 2014, and in the next five years, the transformation will be even more visible,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dharavi Housing: A Landmark Project<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Calling it a \u201ctransformational project,\u201d Fadnavis highlighted the Dharavi redevelopment plan, which will provide permanent housing with modern facilities to 10 lakh residents. This, he said, is one of the biggest examples of Mumbai\u2019s ongoing change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Third Mumbai: The City of the Future<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Fadnavis revealed plans for \u201cThird Mumbai,\u201d to be developed between the Atal Setu and Navi Mumbai airport. The project will feature an \u201cEdu City\u201d with seven global universities already onboard and five more expected. Talks with another leading international university were finalized on the same day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">High-Speed Connectivity and Long-Term Vision<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Chief Minister also confirmed that Mumbai will have a bullet train within the next two to three years, further enhancing the city\u2019s global connectivity. He criticized previous governments for Mumbai\u2019s stagnation over 25 years, attributing it to what he called \u201cchronic capitalism.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fadnavis\u2019s vision positions Mumbai as a benchmark for urban transformation\u2014one that blends heritage, identity, and modern infrastructure rather than following the blueprint of other global cities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has declared that Mumbai should not aim to become like Singapore or Shanghai, but rather preserve its own unique character\u2014one he believes surpasses both.
