In September, an illegally constructed five-story building collapsed in Mumbai, India, killing more than 60 people. It was the latest in a series of collapses this year alone, which included a section of a hospital and another three-story building.
Though too late for this year's casualties, the Urban Development Ministry of Mumbai's Maharashtra state government recently rolled out a much-awaited cluster development program for new buildings in Mumbai. They will soon be taking bids from developers for commercial districts, including Crawford Market, Bhendi Bazaar and Mohammed Ali Road.
