Hi,

Great to know they're finally moving from PDFs to zoomable maps! One thing
I had really hoped for was for people to pin-point exact locations in the
DP and talk about that, instead of just making grand reports with overall
stats.

So again the data you see on this site is coming from a map server that
pre-renders the data and sends stuff across as broken down image tiles.

Precisely to prevent site visitors from scraping the original vector data.

I'm guessing the bureaucracy would have consented to this move (from PDFs
to actual map) only under strict conditions that it must not be scrape-able.

All the best.. if somebody does find a way to break through though, I can
imagine the whole thing will be taken down and that will be regrettable,
because this is a really good leg-up for the urban planning sector in India
and I'd like to see the same happen in Pune as well. Between PDFs and this
I prefer this even if both options aren't open.

A longer approach could be to share examples from Europe/US of cities
releasing such full data openly and persuade/petition these folks with
that. Again, all the best for that. And when one day some municipal
corporation in India does do this, we should congratulate and praise them
like anything so that others are encouraged too.

Yet another approach, and given the target area is Mumbai, this might
actually have a chance: get a price from the bureaucrats for releasing this
data publicly, and collectively crowdfund it. Just consider the combined
purses of all real estate companies and high profile ngo's operating in
this region that would want this. If someone from the relevant govt office
is seeing this, c'mon guys, give a quote!

Regards
Nikhil VJ
