| Long abstract | In Chapter One, Devashree Vyas analyses the urban development of Mumbai, India, a city originally established on an archipelago of seven islands. Focusing on the typologies of the city’s constituent heritage, the author examines its colonial, post-colonial and contemporary heritages in order to shed light on collective identities in the context of widespread urban development and heritage conservation difficulties. |
