About the Book
This book provides a detailed study of urbanization in nineteenth-century Bombay, with a special focus on the role of green spaces in shaping the city’s ecological and social landscape. It examines how British political interventions influenced urban planning and transformed the ecological framework of western India.
Drawing on in-depth empirical research, the work explores the consequences of urban development on the natural environment and the interplay between colonial governance, economic priorities, and ecological sustainability. The book offers a unique perspective on the intersection of history, economics, and environmental studies, making it an essential resource for scholars, students, and readers interested in colonial urbanization, ecological history, and the development of Bombay.
