在如今已成为全球贸易中心的孟买，19世纪下半叶实施了雄心勃勃的城市改造。临近Oval Maidan的开放空间就是改造的结果，前期的改造为维多利亚新哥特式样式，然后在20世纪初转为装饰艺术风格。维多利亚样式中还融合了适应当地气候特点的印度元素，如阳台设计。装饰艺术风格的电影院和住宅建筑中也带有浓郁的印度设计气息，形成独特的“印度装饰艺术”。这两类建筑诠释了孟买在19和20世纪经历的现代化历程。

Having become a global trading centre, the city of Mumbai implemented an ambitious urban planning project in the second half of the 19th century. It led to the construction of ensembles of public buildings bordering the Oval Maidan open space, first in the Victorian Neo-Gothic style and then, in the early 20th century, in the Art Deco idiom. The Victorian ensemble includes Indian elements suited to the climate, including balconies and verandas. The Art Deco edifices, with their cinemas and residential buildings, blend Indian design with Art Deco imagery, creating a unique style that has been described as Indo-Deco. These two ensembles bear testimony to the phases of modernization that Mumbai has undergone in the course of the 19th and 20th centuries.
