Abstract: This proposal examines Sewri Fort within the context of Greater Mumbai’s fortification network, highlighting its historical, military, and architectural significance. Despite being overlooked, Sewri Fort offers valuable insights into the region’s colonial past and socio-economic shifts during the British era. The study explores the fort’s design, historical role, and current preservation challenges amid urbanization and environmental degradation. It also addresses the broader issue of heritage conservation in Mumbai, advocating for a balance between urban development and the preservation of historical structures. The research aims to contribute to the ongoing discourse on safeguarding Mumbai’s architectural heritage.
