My city of 21st Century, Navi Mumbai.

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.
