Mumbai Human Development Report (HDR) 2009

Mumbai HDR 2009 is the first-ever municipal HDR globally. The HDR is prepared by AIILSG with support from UNDP, Ministry of Housing and Urban Poverty Alleviation and Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai.

UNDP had launched HDR process with goal of putting people at the center of development. Since 1995, in India, 20 state HDRs have been prepared and many districts are also preparing HDRs.

Mumbai HDR has reviewed population trends, economy, equity, slums, education, health, gender and quality of life in the city. It also provides options and way ahead. It has developed a human development measure for various administrative wards of the city. This would help the city government to take appropriate decisions for wards needing special efforts.

The HDR will provide a roadmap for Mumbai and other cities in India.
