Abstract
This debate piece reports on ongoing research addressing local experience of heritage regeneration in waterfront and port cities (informed by the work of Subramanian [1999. Indrani Ray’s French East India Company and the Trade of the Indian Ocean. New Delhi: Munshiram Manoharlal Publishers; 2008. Ports, Towns and Cities: A Historical Tour of the Indian Littoral. Mumbai: Marg Publications; 2016. The Sovereign and the Pirate: Ordering Maritime Subjects in India's Western Littoral. Delhi: Oxford University Press] and Mukherjee [2006. Strange Riches: Bengal in the Mercantile Map of South Asia. Delhi: Foundation Books; 2013. Oceans Connect: Reflections on Water Worlds Across Time and Space. Delhi: Primus]). An ongoing research project on port cities is evaluated, and a museum of impossible objects is proposed to counter commercially driven regeneration from mainstream developers.
