Mumbai Metropolitan Region

The Mumbai Metropolitan Region is an urban agglomeration spanning Mumbai and surrounding cities and districts, linked by shared economic, transport, and planning systems.

Mumbai: Mumbai is a major Indian port city and the capital of Maharashtra, on the country's western coast. The region's core city anchors its economy, transport network, and identity.
Mumbai Suburban Railway: Mumbai Suburban Railway is the commuter rail network serving Mumbai and nearby urban areas. Its corridors carry large daily flows between the core and surrounding cities.
Greater Mumbai: Greater Mumbai is the municipal territory administered by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation. It is narrower than the metropolitan region, despite often being mistaken for the same area.
Urban sprawl: Urban sprawl is the outward, low-density expansion of built-up areas into surrounding land. Expansion beyond Mumbai's core has transformed formerly separate settlements and open land.
Thane: Thane is a city in Maharashtra, northeast of Mumbai, and a major urban center in the metropolitan region. Its growth and links to Mumbai make it one of the region's principal urban centers.
Mumbai Metro: Mumbai Metro is a rapid-transit network serving Mumbai and parts of its metropolitan region. New lines extend high-capacity transit beyond established rail corridors.
Mumbai Port: Mumbai Port is a major natural harbor and commercial port on India's west coast. Port activity helped establish Mumbai as the region's economic center.
Informal housing in Mumbai: Informal housing in Mumbai includes settlements built or occupied outside formal planning and property systems. Housing demand across the region exceeds what formal urban development supplies.
Navi Mumbai: Navi Mumbai is a planned city in Maharashtra, developed across the harbor from Mumbai. It was developed as a major counterweight to congestion in the island city.
Mumbai Trans Harbour Link: The Mumbai Trans Harbour Link is a road bridge connecting Mumbai with Navi Mumbai across the harbor. The link shortens road journeys between the region's western and eastern centers.
