An Evaluation of Mumbai’s Urban Development

Fatih Eren

Abstract


Mumbai is one of the first cities which feels the strong impact of globalisation in the world. This process has changed the city significantly. The urban development process of Mumbai whose importance is gradually increasing for the world has been examined in this paper. The study aims to explore spatial, economic, socio-cultural and environmental changes experienced in this city. The issue of what these changes will bring to Mumbai in the future has been discussed in the paper. A detailed method of document analysis has been used. This study shows that the development of Mumbai into an international centre that gives directions to global flows depends on its ability to use the full potential of its young population.
