Book Highlights Living Heritage Along Mumbai Metro’s Aqua Line

Maitri Dore, a researcher, wrote a book about the heritage sites along the Mumbai Metro’s Aqua Line.

She compared how heritage was handled in Mumbai and Gothenburg, Sweden.

In Gothenburg, they used the train route to show the history of the sites.

In Mumbai, they focused on protecting the buildings.

Maitri’s book talks about many interesting places along the Aqua Line that are not usually in travel guides.

She wants to make heritage more about everyday life and not just big, old buildings.

The book also talks about the problems and controversies around building the metro, like cutting trees and moving people from their homes.

She hopes her book will help people think differently about heritage and how it can be part of planning for the future.
