Manchester of the East

Long compared to the old industrial cities of England, Mumbai is still struggling to redevelop its disused cotton mills.
The amount of open space for each Mumbaikar is much lower than that for residents of NY or London...so more public space is desperately needed.
The atmospheric harbor-side Mukesh Mill, just steps from the Gateway of India, is, despite reports of ghosts, beloved by Bollywood directors. However, zoning laws, the needs of nearby navy facilities and unclear ownership status have all led to this prime site with its lovely old buildings remaining undeveloped and closed to the public.
