6:30 PM - 19:15 Library MMB

Architect, photographer and researcher Robert Stephens (Mumbai) will present an illustrated talk which traces the evolution of the controversial coastal road from Arthur Crawford’s self-serving proposal of the 1870s through to American transportation planner Wilbur Smith’s proposal of 1963. The tumultuous and highly-politicised road, slated for completion by 1981, is currently under construction.
