Abstract
This case study of the Jogeshwari-Vikhroli Link Road (JVLR) in Mumbai analyzes the impact and implications of the large scale project on the socio-spatial make-up of the city. Researchers highlight the process of demarcation of space for the road out of an informal landscape, the construction of the road which elicited protest, and the forms of violence emanating from urban and infrastructure planning. In particular, the focus is on the part of the project that was undertaken over the period beginning 2002, under the larger World Bank (WB) funded urban transportation project called the Mumbai Urban Transportation Project (MUTP).
