Proposed as honour to bond with Mumbai’s 15 sister cities across the world; will serve as a tourist destination: the project will cost Rs 1.63 cr and will be ready in six months.
As part of tactical urbanism, the BMC has planned to construct a ‘Sister City Square’ at Kalanagar, Bandra West, to honour its bond with 15 sister cities across the world. A tender for it was invited on Friday. This project will serve as a tourist destination for domestic as well as international tourists, the BMC believes.
Mumbai has 15 sister cities, including Stuttgart, Berlin (Germany), Los Angeles (USA), St. Petersburg (Russia), Yokohama (Japan), Honolulu (Hawaii), New York City, Zagreb (Croatia), Barcelona (Spain), Busan (South Korea), Port of Odessa (Ukraine), Jakarta (Indonesia), Nadi (Fiji) Antananarivo (Madagascar) and Shanghai (China). Mumbai has maintained good relationships with them through cultural ties, commercial growth, sharing of knowledge, and signed memorandums of understanding (MoU).
