THE B-PLAN
The site selected is Mazgaon since the area has been under constant transformation. The site extends from the Dockyard Station- Seree Station. The open finger profile bunders of Mazgaon estate (darukhana) were built in the nineteenth century for maritime trade in wood and coal from neighboruing states but have lost their relevance in present economy. Since then it has been changing, first due to increase in industrial activities and then due to the decline of the same as well as the port activthities. Currently, most of the land has been vacated. Plenty of warehouses are underused or given on lease for short tenure. Most of the waterfront is inaccessible and poorly used. Harbour Railway Cotton Avenue
