Urbanising the indian coastline and public space : a perspective - Vol.869), March - Mumbai Indian Institute of Architects 2021 - 66-69p.
The Indian coastline measures around 5400 km
along its mainland and nearly 2000 km of island territo-
ries. The nine states of Gujarat, Maharashtra, Goa, Karna-
taka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Odisha and
West Bengal, along with the Lakshadweep and Andaman
Nicobar Islands make up the Indian coastline. Some of the
most vibrant towns and cities of India are located along
her coast—be it large cities like Mumbai and Chennai or
small towns like Porbandar, Panaji and Pondicherry—they
all have their unique coastlines. One-fifth of India’s pop-
ulation lives along the coast and it is envisaged that this
will at least double by 2060.
