South Mumbai

South Mumbai extends along the Arabian Sea coast, encompassing seven connected islands with mangroves on the eastern side and sandy shores on the west.

The area transformed from separate islands into a unified landmass through the Hornby Vellard project of 1782, which involved extensive land reclamation works.

The district contains numerous Victorian buildings, the Bombay Stock Exchange, and traditional fishing communities known as Koli people along its coastal areas.

The region connects to other parts of Mumbai through an extensive network of suburban trains, buses, and the Eastern Freeway transportation corridor.

The district maintains an average elevation of 10 meters above sea level, with three fault lines crossing beneath its surface.
