45% of Navi Mumbai's land has been set aside for greenery and open-to-sky uses. As a custodian of this land, CIDCO has always been vigilant about protecting this greenery. Soon after its inception, CIDCO established a full-fledged Horticulture Department for development of the 'greens' in Navi Mumbai. The very objective of this was to convert and cover the barren hills and low-lying lands into a green and sustainable human settlement.
