Beautiful green
spaces in Bandra
Greener
spaces are an integral part of urban life that defines the layout of the
community. As we have started living in increasingly built up environments, the
need for parks is as important in the 21st century as it was in the 19th.
They are the
community’s natural life support systems and a well maintained park in an area
can increase the real estate value manifold.
If you are looking
for safe play spaces for your kids and to escape from the clamour of the city
but don’t have to travel far, the green spaces are for you.
Here are five of
our favourite places to sit back and relax: the green gems tucked away in the
corners of Bandra.

Otters Club, Bandra West.

it like?

(2003) written by Subash Ghai.
