Urban redevelopment is the most implemented strategy for addressing housing problems and the shortage, old infrastructure and land scarcity in Mumbai. Mumbai is one of the most densely populated cities in India. The ultimate aim behind redeveloping the city is to promise long-term improvement in living standards and urban efficiency through effective infrastructure management. The main purpose of the study is to examine public perception towards new projects in Mumbai and analyse the major challenges associated with these projects. The study was done on 87 responses using non-probability convenience sampling through structure questionnaire with liker scale. For analysing the data, descriptive statistics and inferential statistics are used. The findings reveal a dual reality in Mumbai’s redevelopment process. Residents perceive redevelopment benefited and necessary for urban modernizations. But at the same time, they are dissatisfied with the poor project execution, lack of transportation and congestion in the city.
