Question

Why was the expansion of Bombay difficult? Explain the methods adopted to develop the city.

Answer 1

The expansion of Bombay was difficult because this city lies on the coast and expansion was really impossible. The earliest project related to the land recovery in Bombay was begun in 1784, which includes the joining of seven islands into one landmass. Moreover, the governor of Bombay approved the building of the great sea wall, which helped to prevent the flood reaching to the low-lying areas of Bombay.
