Abstract

A STATE government study has blamed unscientific and haphazard land reclamation for ecological damage and perennial floods in Mumbai. The city has a 300-year history of land reclamations—prior to independence, over 35 sq km of land was reclaimed by the colonial administration to link the erstwhile seven islands of Worli, Parel, Mahim, Mazagaon, Bombay, Little Colaba and Colaba. But the highest number of legal and illegal reclamations have been done in the past 40 years, many a time leading to controversies, shows “History of Reclamation”, the first report of the four-part study, “Land Reclamation in Mumbai”.
