  • Mumbai's Urban Form and Security in the Vernacular
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by IDS OpenDocs Title: ‘These streets are ours’: Mumbai’s urban form and security in the vernacular Citation: Gupte, J. (2017) '‘These streets are ours’: Mumbai’s urban form and security in the vernacular', Peacebuilding 5.2: 203-217 https://doi.org/10.1080/21647259.2016.1277022 Official url: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/21647259.2016.1277022 More details/abstract: This article contributes to the growing literature on the spatial dynamics of urban violence in the developing world. It highlights the dialectic between urban form, violence and security provision as vernacular in nature, shaped by hyperlocal processes and actors. And yet, this dialectic is dominated by state and military-centred terminology, and continually underpinned by the state’s imposition of order to constitute the city as a site for legitimate control. This materialises as the often arbitrary recognition of one area as ‘at the margins’, and not another, as the recognition of one group of people as ‘slum dwellers’ or illegal residents, and not others, or as the recognition of some individuals as criminal, and not others. Using detailed case study material from a group of inner-city neighbourhoods in Mumbai, India, the article suggests that urban form in its physical, political and historical characterisations not only influences how vigilante protection operates, but also interacts in a non-benign manner with the mechanics by which the state endeavours to control violence. As such, it shapes who is vulnerable to violence, how vulnerable they are, and why.

  • Mumbai on the Move Approximately 4¼ Hours $$ Enjoyed
    A Day in the Life: Mumbai on the Move Approximately 4¼ Hours $$ Enjoyed it? 4 out of 5 Value 3 out of 5 1 out of 1(100%)reviewers would recommend this product to a friend. Read 1 review | Write a review Experience the real, everyday Mumbai, including the highlights of this fascinating city, with its Western monuments and Eastern sensibilities. Begin at the beginning, with the Gateway of India. This is the city’s most famous landmark—an Indo-Saracenic archway built in 1911 to commemorate the visit of King George V and Queen Mary. It was originally conceived as an entry point for passengers arriving on P&O steamers from England; today, it is remembered more often as the place from which the British staged their final departure. You will stop here for photographs. Continue your excursion with an orientation drive through Mumbai passing prominent landmarks such as Flora Fountain, the university and Victoria Terminus. The latter is a most remarkable railway station, inspired by St Pancras Station in London. It was built during Queen Victoria’s Golden Jubilee year and is an extraordinary conglomeration of domes, spires, Corinthian columns and minarets in a style described by journalist James Cameron as Victorian- Gothic-Saracenic-Italianate-Oriental-St Pancras-Baroque. The first train in India left from this station in 1853; today, half-a-million commuters use the station every day. At theMani Bhawan Gandhi Museum you’ll visit the site that was Mahatma Gandhi’s Bombay base between 1917 and 1934. A series of tiny dioramas tell Gandhi’s life story.

As surrounded by sea and has nowhere to expand. The constraints of the geography and the inability of the city to expand have already made it the densest metropolis of the world. High growth in the number of vehicles in the last 20 years has resulted in extreme traffic congestion. This has lead to long commute times and a serious impact on the productivity in the city as well as defining quality of life of its citizens. The extreme traffic congestion has also resulted in Mumbai witnessing the worst kind of transport related pollution. Comprehensive Traffic Studies (CTS) were carried out for the island city along with its suburbs to identify transportation requirements to eliminate existing problems and plan for future growth.

  • Bombay 1 ..Pdf
    Bombay's segregated enclaves continued to grow in the manner they had been established in the early founding years of the town. These enclaves became increasingly overcrowded as more and more people came to Bombay for jobs created by new building projects, the expansion of trade and industry, the continuous growth of the cotton, spinning and weaving industries and the heightened activity in the docks. By 1880, 42 spinning and weaving mills had been established, increasing to 68 in 1885,94 in 1890,102 in 1895 and an astonishing l36by 1900. Among the important new industries that were being set up in the city were tramway and railway workshops, engineering and shipbuilding, dyes and chemicals, coach-building, kerosene tinning and packing, metal stamping, manufacturing of steel trunks, locks, cutlery and oil and paper mills. The leather industry at Dharavi, where the first tannery had been started in 1887, drew continuous streams of Tamil immigrants. Dharavi, in time, was to develop into the largest slum on the sub- continent. The most evident change in the composition of the population, however, was a wave of poverty stricken Maharashtrian peasants from the drought-ridden districts of Satara, Kolaba and Ratnagiri, who came to Bombay for jobs in the textile mills and docks. They settled mainly in what came to be termed Girangaon, the village of the mills, which included the areas of Tardeo, Byculla, Mazagaon, Reay Road, Lalbaug, Parel, Naigaum, Sewri, W orli and Prabhadevi. The population spurted from 644;405 in 1872 and 773,196 in 1881 to 821,764 in 1891.
