[Urbanstudy] In Mumbai, Open Spaces Are Rare, and Rarely Open - NYTimes

[Deb Ranjan Sinha]

Of Mumbai's 30 square kilometers, or 11.6 square miles, of open space, only
10 square kilometers is actually available and being used - a miniscule 0.88
square meters, or approximately just 9 square feet, per person. That puts
Mumbai far behind other cities in India, and around the world. Delhi and
Bangalore offer 15 and 6.4 square meters of open space per person, while
Tokyo and New York have 6 and 2.5 square meters, according to research
carried out by the real estate company Jones Lang LaSalle.
