Shivaji Park
Shanta Gokhle
Explore the history and soul of one of Bombay's earliest planned neighborhoods, Shivaji Park. Readers will delve into its origins aimed at decongesting the city, and its evolution into a coveted residential area. Through interviews with friends, neighbors, and cultural icons such as Sachin Tendulkar, author Shanta Gokhale paints a matchless portrait of a neighborhood both dynamic and democratic. Gokhale not only celebrates the grace of Shivaji Park but also notes how redevelopment threatens the area's sense of community.
