Re-devising Post Industrial Landscape for Public Use in Mumbai

Mumbai was an industrial center of India, and its transition from industrial era to de-industrialization led to a lot of leftover defunct industrial landscape, these post industrial landscapes are functionally irrelevant to the society. Currently Mumbai has the opportunity to reclaim these post industrial sites for public use. In this process, multiple aspirations, needs and conflicts play out. These sites are grappling with changing social and economical demands of the city, trying to thrive and survive. Usually in the process these industrial heritage sites are demolished to give way to the new, and the precincts start losing their identity in this reclaiming and redevelopment process, important part of the history is razed from the map of the city.
