Planning and regulations have the potential to uplift urban neighborhoods. Evidently, the planned neighbourhood of Nerul, has better livelihood, improved infrastructure and last mile public transport connectivity. However, because of the improvement in quality of life, there is an increase in property demand. Thus, resulting in an unaffordable neighbourhood.
