Goregaon is a locality of the Mumbai city, in the Mumbai Suburban district, India. It is a railway station on the Mumbai suburban railway on the Western Line. An extension of the Harbour Line is under construction, to be completed by 2016. Bracketed on either side of the railway line by the Western Express Highway and Link Road, Goregaon was primarily a middle-class residential neighbourhood. However, the area is now turning into a wealthy suburb. Famous film studios such as Filmistan and Film City are located here. == Areas == Until the late 1970s, the suburb was sparsely populated which began to change with residential localities that sprung up such as Unnat Nagar Vibhag 1 to 4, Jawahar Nagar, Motilal Nagar, Bangur Nagar, Shastri Nagar, Lokmanya Tilak Nagar Road 1 to 6 (earlier Peoples Colony), Siddharth Nagar, BEST Colony, Piramal Nagar, Mahesh Nagar and Madina Manzil in the West and Pandurang Wadi and Jaiprakash Nagar in the East. The eastern boundary of the suburb was effectively the Western Express Highway, which separated Goregaon from Aarey Milk Colony. Aarey Milk Colony, established in 1949 and spread over an area of 1,287 hectares, houses thirty two cattle farms, gardens, a nursery, lakes, an observation pavilion, picnic facilities, and milk plants. The housing boom of the 1980s saw expansion in terms of real estate and population density. On the East, newer areas such as Dindoshi, Gokuldham, Yashodham, Saibaba Complex, Oberoi Garden City Film City Road, Amritvan, etc. and on the West, Bangur Nagar, Lokhandwala Complex (now considered a separate suburb) and Link Road were the development hubs. Besides the above, Goregaon (E) also is home to the recently developed area known as New Dindoshi consisting of the Nagari Nivara Parishad (NNP), a housing scheme for the lower middle class. There are more than 30,000 people living at NNP, distributed between two zones.〔 Oberoi Garden City, which has started developing recently, is spread across 80 acres, next to Saibaba Complex. It includes Oberoi Mall, home to the second Starbucks coffee shop opened in Mumbai and also Westin Hotel and Offices. Many other residential and business towers are also being developed. Goregaon East is the home of Yashodham High School and Gokuldham High School, also St.Thomas High School which is the oldest English medium school in Goregaon East. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Goregaon」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
