Death of program- Mumbai mills Mumbai mills were integral part of Mumbai’s economy but with industrialization the mills ceased to be profitable. The dilapidated mills in Mumbai has now become a residual space at various parts in the city. Other than creating a nostalgia the dead infrastructure evokes a sense of horror of what future of buildings looks like. The redevelopment process has started and now they are adaptively reused to make malls pubs or restaurants or they are completely redeveloped to make commercial residential infrastructure.
