According to officials, a 15-metre wide ‘Green Spine’ for pedestrians and cyclists will connect the riverfront with the Central Park in Dharavi. There will be cafes, viewing decks and cultural spaces along the riverfront, officials said and added, “The riverfront will be lined with native trees and pollution-absorbing vegetation. Permeable paving and bioswales have also been planned to improve stormwater management, increase groundwater recharge and support the long-term health of the river ecosystem.”
