Somaya Sampat, led by Brinda Somaya and Nandini Sampat, presented a proposal for the Maharashtra Nature Park design competition, "A Line Across History (Forest)," at the 2021 London Design Biennale's India Pavilion, focusing on forest rehabilitation along Mumbai's Mithi River.
The design for Maharashtra Nature Park (MNP) serves as a green lung in the heart of Mumbai city providing a space for the residents of Dharavi and neighboring areas while connecting seamlessly to the Business district. The importance of creating forests with their distinct ecological identity, representative of the flora and fauna of the region and a creation of spaces for all communities is the module to be replicated within urban jungles to ensure a sustainable quality of life for all citizens
