Mumbai's BMC Proposes 'Iconic Buildings' Policy
Mumbai is planning to build special, 'iconic' buildings to make the city look amazing!
They're asking people what they think about the new rules for these buildings.
If you want to build one, your building needs to look unique and have lots of space that anyone can use, like a park or shopping area.
A team of experts will decide if a building can be 'iconic'.
Builders will need to have experience.
Some people worry about the rules and whether it's fair, but the city hopes this will make Mumbai even more beautiful.
Mumbai's BMC is proposing a new policy for 'iconic buildings'.
The policy, part of DCPR 2034, seeks public feedback for one month.
Buildings must have unique characteristics and at least 40% public space.
A six-member committee, led by the municipal commissioner, will approve proposals.
Developers must have completed projects or a high annual turnover.
