Drawing on a wealth of archival material in the Maharashtra State Archives, Bombay, and the India Office Library, this careful study analyzes the development of Bombay from a small port town into an important colonial port city between 1845 and 1875. The growth was engineered by a group of British professionals who were wedded to the dominant British concerns of order, civic improvement, and the extension of imperial hegemony. Focusing on the conflicts between the planners and administrators of this development, and between the British rulers and the Indian inhabitants who resisted this essentially European planning, this volume offers an incisive look at a crucial point in Indian urban history.
