MUMBAI NEEDS REDEVELOPMENT PROJECTS WITH MINDFUL DESIGN
In the present-day world, there is rarely a city left untouched by urban decay. Like all great cities, Mumbai is also in the middle of a transition through various redevelopment projects. While urban renewal has to be executed with urgency, developers need to focus on creating spaces that exhibit high quality design, equipped with digital innovation, are sustainable and green, and enable community living. Aesthetics and Style One of the striking features of a redeveloped property is the higher standard of living it provides with its upgraded amenities such as bigger space, buried plumbing and better sunlight. An aesthetic and high-quality designed space contributes to not just improving the standard of living and work environment of redeveloped areas but also in the creation of economic value for these sites. In fact, a well-designed, open space generates significant value for residential properties. With Covid placing higher importance on tailored customer experience, Mumbai developers need to pay attention to details such as layout, finishes and landscaping in accord with the taste and requirements of the investors. In addition, living spaces need to be integrated with the latest technology to keep up with the rising demand of smart homes. Space management We tend to spend most of our time indoors. Our interaction with our surroundings plays an important role in our psychology, be it colour, lightening, or acoustics. Therefore, space planning becomes an absolute necessity in determining the usage and functional requirement of an area. Especially in an urban city like Mumbai, where spaces are sparse, it is important to make optimum utilization of every square foot. Developers need to understand the requirements of the buyer and provide spaces which are not just comfortable and stylish but also pack value. Sustainability Sustainable redevelopment is an efficient way to benefit the urban environment especially in cities like Mumbai. The builders are using renewable sources of energy and new energy concepts to boost the environment's health and sustainability. In fact, sustainability has emerged as an important factor in the design and planning of redevelopment projects. In a city like Mumbai where air quality and water resources are under constant pressure, developers have a responsibility to create sustainable projects designing and building living spaces. The use of eco-friendly materials, energy-efficient appliances, and renewable energy sources can not only reduce the carbon footprint of the project but also save costs for the residents in the long run. Sustainable design can also create healthier living spaces by improving indoor air quality and reducing noise pollution. Social Bonding Human beings thrive in the presence of each other. Therefore, developers should create spaces such as community centers, and parks that build social fabric and encourage social interaction and cohesion among the residents. A redeveloped project can foster stronger community feeling and a sense of identity in people as they engage with developers in stating their ideas, preferences and understanding about the project. In conclusion, the developers need to pay close attention to customers’ demands in Mumbai. In an era where Indian real estate is capable of offering them lucrative and personalized experiences, the customers’ expectations have reached new dimensions. The developers have to make sure that an investor’s satisfaction is met-be it the design, space planning, or modern amenities. Therefore, in delivering successful redevelopment projects in Mumbai, implementing mindful design and planning becomes absolutely crucial.
