Boombay: From Precincts to Sprawl

Kamu Iyer writes about the built form of the city as he has seen it grow and change since the 1940s. It is written largely from Iyer’s experience through his years as a student, professional architect and teacher in schools of architecture, though he has also drawn from the observations of many others, young and old. Iyer also looks at the way in which the Improvement Trust, the Bombay Development Department and the Bombay Municipal Corporation, through their interventions, altered the homes and lives of people over the decades. This book is about a changing order and the city’s fabric.
