Spanning approximately 1,300 hectares, Aarey Colony is a precious ecological and cultural asset- a rare urban forest in the heart of the Mumbai metropolis. Known as the city's "Green Lungs," it is home to diverse flora and fauna, including some endangered species. It plays a critical role in groundwater recharge, temperature regulation, and offering clean air, making it vital for Mumbai's ecological balance and community well-being.

The Master Plan Framework for Aarey Milk Colony is focused on preserving its ecological and cultural affluences while promoting community and sustainable inclusivity. This vision celebrates Aarey as a verdant oasis that bridges nature, health, and heritage. By protecting its rich ecological and cultural affluences, we can ensure a healthier, greener future for all.
