Today everyone
looks for a good comfort car which is economical, stylish and comfortable. In
order to enjoy the drive, the surroundings and the roads should also blend in
the experience. One such city where I live connects this experience. Its Navi
Mumbai ….
Birth of Navi
Mumbai:-
Navi Mumbai is
arguably the most planned city in India. Navi Mumbai is a younger sister to
Mumbai. Navi Mumbai was born in order to decongest Mumbai and to provide better
lifestyle to its people. Navi Mumbai has planned roads, well developed
Infrastructure, parks, Educational Institutes, hospitals and other amenities.
Get On the
Roads:-
Being born and
brought up in Navi Mumbai I can say driving in this city is a pleasure. The
roads are wide, all interior roads are parallel to each other. The roads are
well designed taking future traffic into account. The main roads have sub roads
in each direction. Each locality is divided into properly marked sectors. So
these roads and well defined sectors form the integral part of design which
makes a planned city. Almost all highways passing through Navi Mumbai have
flyovers at junctions in order to avoid traffic jams.
Marine drive
of Navi Mumbai:-
One of the most iconic
roads in Navi Mumbai is Palm Beach road which is my favorite road in Navi
Mumbai. It starts from Vashi and ends in
CBD Belapur. The road is excellent and has palm trees along the road, the road
also has many high rise buildings and is called Marine drive of Navi Mumbai.
Roads and
Rains:-
Mumbai is known
for its rains and flooding but Navi Mumbai has solved the problem of flooding
during rain, it has big water reservoirs & lakes which store water during
the rain ,during high tide the water from sea does enter these lakes while
during low tide the lakes empty their water into the sea thus avoiding flooding
in Navi Mumbai. This is part of design which makes Navi Mumbai better than
Mumbai.
Connectivity
of infrastructure:-
Navi Mumbai is
also an IT hub with many IT companies having their base in the city. The city
has good telecom infrastructure and recently being nominated as one of the
smart cities in India. The aim of this smart city project is to further improve
the infrastructure such as roads, safety security and improving connectivity by
addition of Fiber optic network. This will improve the telecom connectivity and
wireless connectivity. The present trend is to connect all devices to the
internet and this is called as internet of things. The future is of Internet of
things and the backbone of this future is the telecom networks. We are all
eager to see what the future holds whether its flying cars or cars that are
self driven using internet of things or normal cars which are connected to the
internet and of course further technologies which improve the driving
experience and comfort.
To experience
the future we must improve our present and I can see this improvement in my
city Navi Mumbai, the city of 21st century.
