Overview
- The project will turn 53 hectares of reclaimed land from Priyadarshini Park to Worli into landscaped public spaces with walking and cycling tracks, gardens, plazas and smart lighting.
- Fifteen architects were invited and six were shortlisted based on experience and manpower, with one firm to be finalised after concept presentations.
- Shortlisted firms include international studios from Europe, the United States, South Korea and the Netherlands, with Cozy Designs introduced to civic officials last week.
- The BMC has formed a landscaping committee chaired by the deputy municipal commissioner (gardens) to review the final plan and streamline permissions.
- Undertaken under RIL’s CSR programme, the initiative includes a 30-year maintenance commitment, and follows an EoI process after BMC pegged costs near ₹400 crore, with RIL the only bidder meeting criteria.
