The entire area is overseen by the [[Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority]] (MMRDA), a [[Government of Maharashtra|state-owned]] organisation in charge of town planning, development, transportation and housing in the region. The MMRDA was formed to address challenges in planning and development of integrated infrastructure for the metropolitan region.The areas outside Brihanmumbai (Greater Mumbai) and [[Navi Mumbai]] have lacked organised development. Navi Mumbai, developed as one of the largest [[planned city|planned cities]] in the world, was promoted by a state government-owned company, [[City and Industrial Development Corporation]] (CIDCO). The region has had problems related to haphazard and illegal development as a result of rapid urbanisation. Villages along the [[National Highway 3 (India)|NH 3]] in [[Bhiwandi]] are examples of haphazard developments in the MMR, with some of the largest warehousing areas in India. Government agencies such as the [[Urban planner|Town Planner]] and [[District collector|Collector]] of [[Thane]] have had challenges in addressing unorganised development. == Municipal Corporations == # [[Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation|Greater Mumbai]]<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|url=https://mmrda.maharashtra.gov.in/about-mmr|title=Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority – About MMR|website=mmrda.maharashtra.gov.in|language=en-US|access-date=2017-02-21}}</ref> # [[Bhiwandi-Nizampur Municipal Corporation|Bhiwandi]] # [[Kalyan-Dombivli Municipal Corporation|Kalyan-Dombivli]] # [[Mira-Bhayandar Municipal Corporation|Mira-Bhayandar]] # [[Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation|Navi Mumbai]] # [[Panvel Municipal Corporation|Panvel]] # [[Thane Municipal Corporation|Thane]] # [[Ulhasnagar Municipal Corporation|Ulhasnagar]] # [[Vasai-Virar Municipal Corporation|Vasai-Virar]] == Municipal Councils == # [[Ambernath]] # [[Badlapur]] # [[Palghar]] # [[Uran]] # [[Matheran]] # [[Karjat]] # [[Khopoli]] # [[Pen, India|Pen]] # [[Alibag]] == Districts == #[[Mumbai City district|Mumbai City]] (complete)<ref name="projectsecoa1">{{cite web |url=http://www.projectsecoa.eu/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=117&Itemid=73 |title=Mumbai metropolitan area |language=it |publisher=Projectsecoa.eu |access-date=2013-03-14 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141006082759/http://www.projectsecoa.eu/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=117&Itemid=73 |archive-date=6 October 2014 |url-status=dead }}</ref> #[[Mumbai Suburban district|Mumbai Suburban]] (complete) #[[Thane district|Thane]] (partial) #[[Raigad district|Raigad]] (partial) #[[Palghar district|Palghar]] (partial) ==See also== * [[National Capital Region (India)]] * [[Chennai metropolitan area]] * [[Kolkata metropolitan area]] * [[List of metropolitan areas in India]] == References == {{Reflist}} ==External links== * [https://web.archive.org/web/20160303180033/http://www.transformmumbai.com/aboutmmrda.html MMRDA cities table] *[http://www.mumbai77.com/city/2151/travel/station-names/ Mumbai Railway Station Names] * [https://web.archive.org/web/20171020201648/https://mmrda.maharashtra.gov.in/who-we-are Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority - Who We Are] {{Maharashtra}} {{Mumbai metropolitan area}} {{World's most populous urban areas}} {{Authority control}} {{Coord|18.9667|N|72.8333|E|source:wikidata|display=title}} [[Category:Geography of Mumbai]] [[Category:Metropolitan areas of India|Mumbai]]'
