Breakdown the swamp of
DNA's August 12 story on the infrastructure breakdown the swamp of residential high-rises in central Mumbai is likely to cause has prompted strong reactions from the public. The story had also highlighted how the civic body's scheme of providing extra FSI in lieu of public parking lots may backfire.
On Friday, Mumbai Environmental Social Network (MSEN), a think tank devoted to parking issues in the city, said that offering such an incentive, especially in the already choked central Mumbai, is suicidal.
Please explain to me the highlighted parts.
