'''Bombay''' was the capital of the [[Bombay (Presidency)|Bombay Presidency]] and the headquarters of the district of the same name during the British period. Now called '''Mumbai''', it is the capital of the state of Maharashtra.
 
==Geography==
Originally there were [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_Islands_of_Bombay Seven Islands of Bombay]:
 
*Isle of Bombay
*[[Colaba]]
*Old Woman's Island ([[Little Colaba]])
*[[Mahim]]
*[[Mazagon|Mazagaon]]
*[[Parel]]
*[[Worli]]
 
They were gradually merged by land reclamation until they were one land mass by 1845.
==History==
*1900 775 000
Following the [[Battle of Kirkee]] 1817 and the defeat of the Peshwas, the Bhor Ghat road to [[Poona]] opened 1830, allowing greater access to the Deccan cotton fields. Bombay became the commercial centre of the Malwa [[Opium trade| opium trade]], and opium also became the basis for the prosperity of Bombay.<ref> [https://web.archive.org/web/20110727093134/http://www.hinduonnet.com:80/fline/fl2310/stories/20060602000307600.htm “Narcotics and empire”] from Frontline-''The Hindu'' Volume 23 - Issue 10: 20 May - 2 June 2006, now archived; [https://www.academia.edu/6333316/Book_review_Opium_City_The_Rise_of_Early_Victorian_Bombay_by_Amar_Farooqui Article by Dipesh Karmarkar] academia.edu.

This allowed Bombay to fill the global demand for cotton resulting from shortages as a consequence of the American Civil War’s blockade of its southern ports(1860-1865). The opening of the Suez Canal 1869 further shortened the passage to England. The resultant economic boom saw wealthy businessmen sponsor many civic buildings – University Library Buildings, Jamsetji Jijibhoy (JJ) School of Art, and the Mechanics Institute. From the 1860‘s many municipal improvement schemes focused on improving health and sanitation.
 
Because of the cosmopolitan mix of Bombay Society, it is [[architect]]urally unlike the most of colonial india's neo-classicism; the wealth citizens of Bombay, and the city's [[Public Works Department]] opted for Venetian-Gothic designs with alterations to suit the Indian Climate. Victoria Terminus the station of the GIPR, adorned with Indian motifs represents this patronage. Bombay introduced Modernist architecture to India seeing new concrete construction methods as an inclusive architecture available to India's masses in the lead up to Independence.
 
==Bombay City Improvement Trust==
The [[Bombay City Improvement Trust Railways|Bombay City Improvement Trust]] was created on December 9, 1898, in response to the Bobbay plague epidemic of 1896. It was created through an Act of the Parliament. The Municipal Corporation and the government handed over all vacant lands to this body. The Trust undertook a host of measures to improve sanitary and living conditions in the city. The planned opening up of suburbs was due to the Trust <ref name=Wiki>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bombay_City_Improvement_Trust Wikipedia "Bombay City Improvement Trust"]; Retrieved 14 Mar 2017</ref>
 
The Trust widened roads in the central, crowded, parts of the town. A new east-west road, the Princess Street, was constructed to channel the sea air into the centre of the crowded residential areas. The north-south Sydenham Road (now Mohammedali Road) was also constructed with this end in view <ref name=Wiki/>.
Following The Dadar-Matunga-Wadala-Sion suburban development was started in 1899 with the [[Battle express purpose of Kirkee]] 1817 and the defeat of the Peshwas, the Bhor Ghat road to [[Poona]] opened 1830, allowing greater access relieving congestion to the Deccan cotton fieldssouth.
