Bandra Railway Station is one of Mumbai’s oldest suburban railway stations and an important landmark within the neighbourhood of Bandra. Built in the nineteenth century, the station continues to serve thousands of commuters each day while remaining a significant heritage structure within the city’s railway network.

The project involved preparing an urban design strategy for the station precinct that could improve circulation and public space while protecting the architectural character of the historic station building.

The process began with mapping pedestrian movement, vehicular circulation, and the everyday activities that unfold around the station. Based on this understanding, the strategy proposed clearer pedestrian routes, improved station forecourts, and better integration between rail, buses, taxis, and other modes of transport.

Rather than treating the station only as infrastructure, the proposal approached it as an important public place — strengthening its role as both a transport hub and a historic gateway to Bandra.
