Drawing on rich archival sources and some significant secondary literature, this book traces the history of citified infrastructural developments in building warships, houses, bungalows, public buildings, railways and in the manufacturing of furniture in Bombay and the Bombay Presidency that eventually triggered urbanization. Correspondingly, the subject of deforestation of western India in three distinctive phases and ensuing afforestation, which fed the needs of the empire, is also highlighted.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Louiza Rodrigues\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9352903439\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789352903436\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Primus Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/24\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 276\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.29lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.75d","brand":"Louiza Rodrigues","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43941109367039,"sku":"9789352903436","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_9d3988f6-060b-447d-88e3-5a2742bc2bf2.jpg?v=1681450963","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/development-and-deforestation-louiza-rodrigues-9789352903436","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
