Description

Native Town is past "Black Town" that was established as a bazaar area for indigenous merchants and craftsmen. At Native Town in Bombay, there are numerous accumulations of Chawls. The Chawl, built by speculative developers, to accommodate increasing population, is particular rent room housing complex with minimum component, which characterizes housing system of the city. From our field survey, we can find preservation of original environment of living and its typology of floor plan. There are several basic types, and the rest could be explained with combination of the basic plan. In contrast, Chawl preserves traditional living style, and the area keeps some characteristics of indigenous customs. We can find a feature of the area from combination of Chawl, as pioneer mass-housing, with traditional social formation of the area.
