As mid-day continues with its ‘Know Your Wards’ series, we now focus on the ‘C’ administrative ward, which borders the Arabian Sea, forming a part of Mumbai’s western coastline.

The C ward is among the most congested in the city, with narrow lanes, a large number of old buildings eligible for redevelopment, lack of parking space, and high commercial value due to the popular clothing and jewelry markets. While the ward largely consists of merchants and traders, it is home to some of the oldest privately owned buildings in the city.
