In the 1920s, Bombay&rsquo's town planners developed a series of ‘ garden suburbs’ meant to offer an idyllic lifestyle within commuting distance from the city. Prime among them was Chembur, whose only ironic claim to good connectivity was as a stop on the railway line originally meant to ferry Bombay&rsquo's garbage to its outskirts. Here, a catholic welfare society settled, thrived, and gave the neighborhood a distinct look and feel that just about barely survives to this day as redevelopment takes place all around. Join us on a walking tour to uncover the stories of the Chembur garden suburb, a world away from its ‘ gas chamber’ reputation.
