Fishing boats out at sea, Nariman Point, Bombay
- 10 years ago
Fishing boats moored just off Nariman Point's slums in Bombay (OK, Mumbai if you must!), Maharashtra, India.
Some people actually live on these boats in Mumbai!
This is the slum of Nariman Point and seen here are the fishermen's boats. These boats are not just a way of living for some of the slum dwellers but also where they live. Some people who do not have homes actually live in these boats near the Nariman Point Slum in Colaba, Mumbai.
"Nariman Point is Mumbai's premier business district and the country's first central business district. It was named after Khursheed Framji Nariman, a Parsi visionary. The area is situated on land reclaimed from the sea. It had the distinction of having the highest commercial real estate rental space in the world in 1995 at $175 per square foot ($1880/m²). Nariman Point hit a new high as a flat sold for a record $8.62 million (USD) on 26 November 2007, at an astonishing $2488 (INR97,842) per square foot. According to the "Office Space Across the World 2012" report by Cushman & Wakefield, Nariman point is the 15th most expensive CBD in the world. The area is situated on the extreme southern tip of Marine Drive. It houses some of India's premier business headquarters. Nariman point is the 4th most expensive office market in the world."
