Taking the metropolitan city to another level of improved infrastructure, this sea link is a boon to the busy Mumbai traffic. This bridge is the outcome of long-term planning and meticulous engineering. It is by jubindave majestically spread across the Mahim Bay, very conveniently connecting the western suburbs of Bandra, to Worli in South-Mumbai and reducing the travel time between the two areas, in half. If not for commutation, it sure is worth a visit to just marvel at this spectacular bridge for its sheer beauty. +91 22 2655 8175 bandraworlisealink.com/ [email protected] Bandra-Worli Sea Link, Mumbai Girgaum Chowpatty "The Common Man's Beach" A city built on islands, Mumbai has no shortage of beaches. The most popular among them is Girgaum Chowpatty, a stretch of beach that extends along Marine Drive near Charni Road Railway Station. The only sand beach area in South Mumbai offers a unique culinary experience for both the tourists as well as the locals. A stretch of the Chowpatty beach is populated by a long line of fast food stalls serving excellent Pav Bhaji (spicy mashed potatoes and bread), Vada Pav (potato cutlets in bread) and kulfi (regional ice-cream).

C.S.T as is popularly called, is one of the busiest railway stations in India and serves as the headquarters of Central Railways. It is also the terminating stop on the Mumbai suburban railway line. But, C.S.T undoubtedly goes beyond its qualification as a major railway station. It is a historic landmark in itself that exudes a charm, reminiscent of the Victorian era. In the year 2004, C.S.T was declared a World Heritage Site by the UNESCO. +91 22 2414 3200 (Tourist Information) Dr Dadabhai Naoroji Road, Mumbai Marine Drive "Mumbais schimmernde Skyline" Der Marine Drive, auch bekannt als Queen's Necklace (eine romantische Vorstellung von den Straßenlaternen), wurde 1920 auf dem zurückgewonnenen Land am Ufer gebaut.

Das von George Wittet entworfene, imposante Bauwerk mit Blick auf das Arabische Meer wurde 1924 für die Öffentlichkeit geöffnet und ist seitdem Bestandteil aller touristischen by Vijay Sharma Routen und ein beliebter Treffpunkt für die Einheimischen. Viele Barkassen starten von hier aus zu kurzen Spritztouren rund um den Hafen oder zu längeren Fahrten zu den Elephanta-Höhlen. Restaurantwerber, Ballonverkäufer, Fotografen und Erdnussverkäufer streifen durch den Ort, inmitten von Touristen, die in purer Freude und Ehrfurcht vor der schieren Größe und Architektur des Ortes erstarren. Das Tor, das in eleganten Anschein von indo-sarazenischen und islamischen Architekturstilen getaucht ist, befindet sich in unmittelbarer Nähe des Taj Mahal Palace Hotels, das ebenfalls zu den wertvollsten Besitztümern der Stadt gehört. Dieser monumentale Triumphbogen, der durch das plätschernde Wasser des Meeres betont wird, steht unter einer glänzenden Kuppel und ist mit feinen Details wie dem Gitterwerk und einer Inschrift, die beschreibt, warum der Bogen gebaut wurde, verziert. Was einst ein bescheidenes Stück Land war, das von den Fischern der Stadt genutzt wurde, wurde es später von britischen Adeligen zusammen mit anderen Koryphäen erschlossen und ist heute ein riesiges, symbolträchtiges Juwel von Mumbai. +91 22 2414 3200 (Tourist Information) Off P J Ramchandani Marg, Near the Taj Mahal Palace & Tower, Mumbai Schließen Sie sich uns an bei: cityseeker.com Allgemeine Geschäftsbedingungen | DATENSCHUTZBESTIMMUNG | API | KONTAKT | Urheberrecht (COPYRIGHT) 2021 CITYSEEKER Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org).

    The Best Bookshops in Mumbai, India blogs.lse.ac.uk/lsereviewofbooks/2017/03/24/the-best-bookshops-in-mumbai-india/ 2017-3-24 Georgie Carroll takes us on a tour of the best bookshops in Mumbai, India. If there’s a bookshop that you think other students and academics should visit when they’re undertaking research or visiting a city for a conference, further information about contributing follows this article. The Best Bookshops in Mumbai, India Image Credit: Britannia & Co. Ballard Estate, Mumbai (iranichaimumbai CC BY SA 2.0) Ballard Estate in South Mumbai is made of excavated soil from the building of what is now Indira Dock. The low- lying, marshy land on the eastern waterfront was filled, flattened and formed into what is a century-old business district, owned by the Mumbai Port Trust (MPT). Its uniform neoclassical architecture inspired its description by Mumbaikars as ‘London-like’, the European-style facades flashing between the foliage of tall rain trees and gulmohars. The Estate was designed by George Wittet, who envisaged the Gateway of India and the Prince of Wales Museum, and was part of the late-nineteenth-century British movement of Indo-Gothic architecture. Once a bustling commercial district, Ballard Estate is now relatively tranquil although some major businesses still hold their administrative branches there. After dusk it famously becomes ‘a ghost town’, thought to have something of the film noir about it – a location for smoke and chiaroscuro and jewel thieves in motorcars, perhaps. Ballard Estate is one of the youngest parts of the city, and it reeks of the nostalgia of a fading Bombay.

    BOMBAY Story of the Island City By A. D. PUSALKER & V. G. DIGHE -~INDIA ORIENTAL CONFERENCE BOMBAY. 1949 BOMBAY Story <:>f the Island-City. By A. D. PUSALKER & V. G.

PREFACE The rise and growth of Bombay present interesting problems to a student of history. While the city has been built in comparatively modern times the formation of the island and its rock temples arouse the interest of the geologist and the antiquarian. The history of the island upto 1500 A.D. is not very eventful; this tropical island and its native population slumbered in peaceful repose till the first European set foot on its soil and set in train forces which transformed it into one of the largest cities in the East and made it the beehive of commerce and industry. How this transformation was wrought, what factors contributed to it, has been narrated in the pages that follow. The object of the book as the title explains is to narrate the story of the island city in simple outline. The main sources of information are Edwardes' Rise of Bombay and the statistical Account of the town and island of Bombay based on old Government records and prepared for the Bombay Gazetteer. Other sources have also been consulted. The account of research institutes in the city will, it is hoped, interest Orientalists and Historians.

E XECUT IV E S UMMARY Disaster Risk Management (DRM) is based on the principle that the impacts of disasters can be reduced through appropriate preparedness, planning and management actions. The range of measures utilized in DRM policies, strategies and actions are ultimately meant to contribute to the safety and well-being of communities, at the same time protecting assets and development gains and improving services to population. The Disaster Risk Management Master Plan (DRMMP) is an analytical model based on international standards which is being prepared for Mumbai that will guide Mumbai in efficiently mainstreaming Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) at the local level through a coherent set of policies, strategies and actions. The collaborative and participatory planning process adopted in the development of the DRMMP ensures consensus and ownership among the stakeholders and enables long term institutional sustainability. By adopting the DRMMP as a management tool for disaster risk management, Mumbai will be able to mobilize institutional and community resources and provide a coherent and efficient approach of actions prior, during and after a disaster.
