The 2 maps illustrated how Mumbai has changed since 1845. There are significant changes, particularly the presence of facilities and also the public transport links that connected Mumbai together as a whole. On the present day map of Mumbai, we can see that it is now entirely connected with railway lines in contrast to 1845, which Mumbai was made up of seven separate islands. Major roads were also developed, connecting facilities and areas of Mumbai. There is also an increase in facilities available in Mumbai, such as hospitals, churches and hotels, making Mumbai a highly developed area. Despite all the major changes and development in Mumbai, the names of the areas in Mumbai remained the same since 1845. The northern part of Mumbai still holds the name Worli and Parel; eastern part is still Mazagaon; the southern part of the city is still known as Colaba. In conclusion, the two maps showed how Mumbai has largely developed into an urban city and has changed significantly since the 1800s.
