Abstract: *Home in the City: Bombay 1977 – Mumbai 2017* traces the evolution of Bombay into Mumbai over four decades, focusing on its “secret heart”—a space where history, memory, and identity intertwine. By contrasting the Bombay of 1977 with the Mumbai of 2017, the work explores the city’s deeper essence beyond its changing skyline. It highlights personal and collective stories, offering insights into the lives that have shaped its culture, society, and architecture. Amid rapid urbanization, Bombay’s spirit endures, revealing a continuity of identity through the city’s transformations.
