These two maps which show how Mumbai has changed

The two maps illustrate how Mumbai has changed since the year of 1845. Overall, therefore, these given maps clearly demonstrate that this area has changed significantly since the 1800s. Before 1845, Mumbai was made up of seven different islands, as opposed to the one mainland which exists today. With respect to the second map, we can clearly see that it is now a highly developed area with a plethora of facilities. Particularly, many infrastructure such as hotels, cinemas, churches and hospitals have been newly formed. One figure which has remained unchanged, however, is the given name of the areas of Mumbai. For example, the south of the city is called Colaba after the original island, while the north part is called Worli and Parel, and the east part Mazagaon. What’s more, there are also numerous transport links which now connect this area together. Many railway lines running through the central area, as do various major roads. To the east of the Mazagaon, a new harbor has been built with a view to exchanging goods and trading among regions.
