Answer 1

From the time of British Settlers Bombay was recognized as an important Port. In order to consolidate land around the region, large land reclamation projects were initially started to turn the Bombay Islands into one large connected City.

In modern times, after the Independence of India, Bombay City Authorities resorted to strict building regulations, formation of new smaller towns on the outskirts of the city to move population and the building of large apartment tower blocks for maximum use of limited land
