Multi-stories in Mumbai
Updated On: 09 February, 2015 08:33 AM IST | | The Guide Team
<p>A new title, People Called Mumbai, is a collection of 55 short stories by young students. The book dives into a sea of people, surfacing with delightful tales of triumph, spirit and dreams</p>

Q. What propelled you to work on this title? Where did the idea to create this collection emerge ?
A. Even as architects and urban practitioners, our understanding of our surroundings is limited and devoid of humanity. We often forget, what makes a 'place' are the people who occupy it. This is the bridge the book tries to build — by understanding a complex city like Mumbai through the lens of its people — offering a revisit of the city. All of this was done with the intent that we need to be more sensitised to our contexts as practitioners.
