What is cluster redevelopment? Cluster development is an urban redevelopment approach in which multiple adjoining buildings or plots are combined into a single large project. It allows better planning, improved infrastructure, wider roads, open spaces, and amenities, while enabling the rehabilitation of existing residents and the more efficient use of land in crowded cities. Examples of cluster redevelopment in the Mumbai real estate market include MHADA layouts such as Motilal Nagar (Goregaon), Abhyudaya Nagar (Parel), Adarsh Nagar (Worli), Bandra Reclamation, and GTB Nagar (Sion), as well as Kamathipura. Several private housing societies also undergo cluster redevelopment. Under MHADA’s Construction and Development Agency (C&DA) system, developers are appointed to redevelop entire housing clusters while eligible residents receive rehabilitation apartments, transit rent compensation and corpus funds. MHADA said the objective of these projects is to improve residents’ quality of life through planned urban development and modern infrastructure.

According to Jaiswal, “In the last year, in Mumbai alone, either approved by the Cabinet, or the developer has been appointed or in tender process, whatever be the reasons, more than 800 to 1,000 acres of land in proper Mumbai is opening up for redevelopment on a cluster model. And trust me when I say this, every layout is expanding almost to 40 acres, 60 acres, 100 acres, or 140 acres," Jaiswal had said.
