Abstract:
From the early 19th century, Mumbai mills have played an important role in the cities economic
condition, urban development and communal structuring. They have always been a vital part of
Mumbai's heritage, are now abandoned due to their lack of architectural, historical, and symbolic
significance. There have been some redevelopment projects merely on commercial, residential and
political exploitations. These developments do not think about the long history of these mills, their
contribution to the city and the impact of these projects on the immediate neighbouring context.
This study is an effort to explore the redevelopment proposals for the mills in central Mumbai and
revitalize the specific area around and within the precinct.
