Various public agencies that provide services to Mumbai have been attempting to attract private investment for projects. However, some private entities have the impression that the state’s governance systems do not always ensure that their interests will be protected. In other cases, residents complain that the state has been biased in favor of private agencies.
This session will bring together citizens’ groups, government officials, and representatives of corporations involved with low-cost housing and transport projects to discuss how trust can be built between the various stakeholders.
