Abstract

On 24 February 2015, the draft of the 2014–2034 Development Plan for Mumbai (MDP 2034) was released for public consultation. An unprecedented public outcry and a deluge of complaints (over 78,000 objections raised), both by experts and civil society, pushed Maharashtra’s chief minister, on 21 April, to scrap the plan and order a four-month overhaul and screening of all objections to be undertaken by a newly constituted Review Committee appointed by the State government.
