Abstract:
culture and it has a story to tell. The most visible source of our history is the
Buildings and the Structures left behind by our Predecessors. Kalyan is no
exception.
A Century of industrialization & technical advancement brought forth rapid
urbanization in the entire country, and more so near the metropolis such as
Mumbai, Delhi, Calcutta etc. The city of Kalyan – Dombivali, owing to large
urbanizable zone and its proximity to greater Mumbai forms one of the
important urban agglomerations of Maharashtra state. . The smooth rail
connectivity to greater Mumbai and being an important junction enabled a lot
of influx of population, depending mainly on Mumbai for livelihood. The
population influx lead to a tremendous pressure on the existing public services
fabric of city. Thereby altering the fabric and making it like other characterless
cities on the central line.
Recently the smart city proposal surveys and mapping stated that Kalyan has a
lot of potential into its long water front and that the city lacks Recreational and
Public places. The City Development Plan aims to be “AN ECOFRIENDLY,
HIGH-TECH, CULTURAL CITY”.
