History
[edit]Third Mumbai was announced in 2013 to prevent haphazard development of the upcoming Navi Mumbai International Airport area. It was previously known as Navi Mumbai Airport Influence Notified Area (NAINA).[6] After the inauguration of the sea link bridge between Mumbai and Navi Mumbai called as Atal Setu also known as Mumbai Trans Harbour Link, the notified area around the bridge was also included in the project of NAINA and collectively these areas was called as Third Mumbai. On 21 October 2024, the nodal agency MMRDA for the proposed city officially named the city of Third Mumbai as Karnala-Sai-Chirner New Town on the name of the three renowned villages Karnala, Sai and Chirner in the areas of the proposed city. In short form it is called as KSC New Town.[6][2]
Planning and development
[edit]The aim of the planning for Third Mumbai was to provide better housing, infrastructure and robust transport facilities to the increasing population of the Mumbai Metropolitan Region in the state of Maharashtra.[5]
