Mumbai is too diverse and lovely and its variety and multicultural is unparalleled. Now coming to worst administration part which is BMC and MMRDA. It took 9 years for worli flyover to be built in sea. They promised to complete it in 2 years. It took 5 years to build mumbai metro from andheri to ghatkapor which covers 1/50th area of entire mumbai. It was a reliance project I agree still they said mumbai administration and beaurocracy is pathetic and master in delaying paper work and multiple approval. At the same time Japan faced one of its worst earthquake in 2011 and in 2012 they rebuilt the entire city. This is discipline. If Japanase decide to do something they do it because they are most discipline people in world.

If u do 100 good work and one bad you are hanged.Modi promise of improvment is for 5 years not 24 months.Why BDA sites offering free sites to mps and g category at this election ( bihar) time.why has bangalore giving power to diggy to marry and rahul to come.where is the money reserved for power like last time (BJP).where is crores of rupees gone .why there is power cut in bangalore for 3-4 hrs,any common man understand.EVEN PETROL RATE COMES TO Rs 10 REDYY KHAN WOULD NOT DECREASE BUS RATES WHY WHY WHY .BEACUSE BANGALORE IS THE ONLY GREEN FIELD LEFT FOR CONGRESS
The reason for the downward trend is simply corruption, as would be clear from the following quote " We've seen over time that countries that have the best economic growth are those that have good governance, and good governance comes from freedom of communication. It comes from ending corruption. It comes from a populace that can go online and say, 'This politician is corrupt, this administrator, or this public official is corrupt.'
I even hated mumbai and posted bad comments about mumbai in rainy conditions and filth it had during rain. But tell me where you will find a city which has blend of finance industry (Stock exchange and top finance companies), bollywood, TV, graphic design and VFZ and entertainment and event industry and advertising companies( All top advertising companies like Lintas, mudras are placed there), then logistics.. (since mumbai is major sea and air port (top logistics companies are placed there), then there are some IT companies located in new mumbai and news media and articrafts industry like jeweleray design etc. In Bangalore or Hyderabad.. it is only It support, IT deveopment or tech support... If anyone analyse the diversity of people and industries in mumbai you will know the worth. Main issue is the corrupt BMC run by shiv sena where its leader bal thackeray allowed hawkers and others from his own community everywhere and no planning in infrastructure hurted the citys image.. else diversity and multicultural and vaiety is abudence in mumbai which is a joy for me than the third class pune city which is filled with rough speaking, rowdy behaviour marathi from kolhapur side and overated people who are no class compared to mumbai elites

Get your facts right moron, 95% of hawkers are from the north not the local community. Yes BMC is corrupt, extremely corrupt but so is the entire country why only blame them. All the states from north to south are the same without exception.

I agree with you. Many people are looking at the world with jaundiced eye, especially after May, 2014.
Is narrow & long & bound from 3 sides by Sea. No scope for naturally expanding. And there is a forest & hills inside. Delhi & all other cities are free to expand in all directions, that's the geographical fact

Even I felt the same that from south mumbai, east and west is filled with ocean in mumbai and it can only stretch from north which it is expanding. But when I saw Singapore a land spread across 750 SQL around 35 kms with no natural resource, they were desperate for water and started importing it from malaysia and ran campaign for save previous water built their own water recycle and desalitsation method where water is recycles and supplied again with some import from indonesia and malaysia. System like singapoe traffic system where they focussed on public transport and introduce license tax in buying a car and don't forget famous chewing gum ban in singapore. Indian administration lacks discipline and vision. We don't have the quality of people in government like Singapore where they hired best mind in government jobs with highest salary and made them work like private limited company. Cheap people, limited work and incompetent officers like smriti iran are filled in indian offices which is the result you see

Delhi is just an overgrown village with no character and lot of arrogant people. One of the most uncivilized cities you will ever visit.
Recently one of my neighbours son studying engg landed up with a job in TCS from campus.. we all went nd congratulated him and surprisngly he looked sad... i asked why he said they posted me to mumbai and are offering less than 50k. what will i do in mumbai... in 2009 i was posted in mumbai for a salary which was much higher that what he mentioned.... i think comapnies need to understand this.. why do u need to post an entry level software guy in mumbai who will have trouble sustaining and not post him elsewhere.... if someone is an investment banker in some bank i can understand him to be in mumbai.... these kind of influx is causing a huge issue in mumbai.. u cant do much about unorganised sector influx but companies need to understand that...
The degeneration started with politicians with their false sense of nationalism wanting to rename the city. I was born and brought up in Bombay, and still live in Bombay. And I have seen the city crumble to dust. It was a very beautiful city, with the soul of the residents reflecting the nature of the city, always helpful and always mindful. Too many immigrants, too many political parties vying for the funds the city generates and no interest from the residents of the city have helped the city collapse. Atleast we should be thankful for the British who created this city and made rock solid infrastructure those days due to which Bombay still stands as a proud city.
Mumbai and Delhi are just giant cities. On the development front Mumbai is far lagging behind Delhi. Delhi also developed mainly because it is capital city. Once upon a time Kolkata is a well developed city and all industrialists eager to set up their shops. Now nobody is interested start any new industries there. Same case is repeating to Mumbai. Many top class business houses are setup their shops. But slowly every body shifting their offices to Gujarat, Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad. Mainly they are shifting due to poor infrastructure. If politicians do not set the peaceful climate and infrastructure, Mumbai future will also be same as of Kolkata.

No problem. At least the economic locusts from North India who have destroyed the city will also leave.
Mumbai can do with some population reduction. Let the locusts leave and Mumbai will be great again.
