This book examines the growth of Mumbai through redevelopment of mill land. Cotton mills were Mumbai's premier industry till<232,0,0,0,50><232> the late 1970s and have since declined...
Mills occupy around 500 acres of prime property in mid-town Mumbai... and the attempted sale of mill land is literally a matter of life and death for mill owners and trade unionists alike...
As one of the first systematic studies of the city and its mills, this book will interest both academics as well as general readers, researchers in business studies and industrial economics, and policy makers and financiers.'
