In the 1920s, Bombay’s town planners developed a series of ‘garden suburbs’, meant to offer an idyllic lifestyle within commuting distance from the city. Prime among them was Chembur, whose only ironic claim to good connectivity was as a stop on the railway line originally meant to ferry Bombay’s garbage to its outskirts. Here, a catholic welfare society settled, thrived, and gave the neighbourhood a distinct look and feel that just about barely survives to this day as redevelopment takes place all around. Join us on a socially distanced walking tour to uncover the stories of the Chembur garden suburb, a world away from its ‘gas chamber’ reputation.Duration
