NAGAR, in collaboration with UDRI, undertook this research project to examine the planning, management, and maintenance of Mumbai’s public open spaces. Through pilot studies in K-West and P-North administrative wards, policy analysis, and stakeholder consultations, the project documented existing practices and developed a city-wide strategy to strengthen public open space governance.
The project’s report titled, ‘Public Open Space Mapping and Management Strategy for Mumbai’, was launched on 29 July 2026. The report presents practical recommendations to improve public open spaces through better data, coordinated governance, citizen participation, and strategic investment, contributing to more accessible, inclusive, and well-managed public spaces across the city.
