Mumbai City
Located at a latitude of 18.o5496° ' N and a
longitude of 72.o4982°' E, the Seven Islands of Bombay underwent
severe reclamation for three centuries before getting converted into one
united landmass. This group of islands, located on the western coast of
India, has come to be known as Mumbai.
This land originally a fishermen's village kept on changing hands from
one to another empire for as long as two millenniums. It was later
during the maritime trade period that the British rulers decided to
convert this natural trade harbor into a planned city.
And it was there that these islands together referred to as Mumbai
today started undergoing various developmental changes. And And iin
these 400 years since then, the city has grown into a fast paced
metropolitan which is also known as 'The City of Dreams'.
Despite its being a seismically active zone, Mumbai lies just south of
the Tropic of Cancer. Serving as a rich and natural trade harbor, the
city is separated from by the mainland by a wide bay.
