Bombay Metropolitan Regional Development Authority

The BMRDA, now known as the Mumbai Metropolitan Regional Development Authority (MMRDA) was created in 1975. In 1983 it tried to rectify the damage that had been caused by the Back Bay Reclamation Project. Unfortunately, the damage that the project had done to Bombay was too severe, and they were unable to completely fix what it had done. During the same time they were also helping with the Visai/Virar project. They also worked on the upgradation of slums both before and after the 1985 Slum Upgradation Act.
