As Aaditya Thackeray seeks re-election in the Worli constituency, he views it not only as a hub of diverse communities but as a microcosm of India itself. In his interview, Thackeray outlined his plans to make Worli a more connected and sustainable area, one that balances the needs of slum residents, middle-class families, and high-rise dwellers. His experience as a legislator in this unique and evolving constituency has shaped his focus on inclusive development, where every demographic’s needs are respected.

Housing remains a primary concern, as many of Worli’s structures are a century old, including BDD chawls and other SRA buildings. Thackeray’s vision for Worli includes supporting self-redevelopment initiatives for housing societies and ensuring that residents are actively involved in the processes affecting them. The BDD chawl project, a massive housing redevelopment scheme that had been stagnant for years, has finally progressed, with the first new tower expected to be handed over in the coming months.
