Part of Book URBAN INSIGHT (G-SOUTH WARD)

ALDSem9Studiodwelvedupondocumentingandanalysingthe GSouthwardofMumbai.Thestudywasdonethrough 6topicscharacter of ward, open spaces, safety aspect, connectivity, disaster and administration. The study culminated into an aimcritically analyse the ward and give certain proposals at urban level for the enhancement in the functioning of the ward. The studio was split into groups - each group studied one of the above mentioned topic and gave proposals in their respective domain . This study has been compiled and published in the reportpresented.

The G South ward homes a blend of varying built typologies. The typology came into existence with evolution of the port city into an industrial megapolis and now a commercial hub. The forever changing skyline comprising of office complexes , high end residential buildings, cultural centers, defunct mills, tall brick chimneys andculminatesintotheoceanwiththesprawlofworli koliwada.

The ward which actually becomes a gateway to south mumbai, has seen a great boom in real estate development. From worli koliwada to haji ali dargah, the promenades, the transport networks, transformed mills, the vivid cultures all justify towards onefactthattheward‘celebratesthisdiversity’.

The reclamation began with filling of the Great Breach as acquiring lands for farming. Siddhivinayak Temple came into existence in 1801.

1705-1845

Further filling of great breach led to filling of mahim bay in 1845. By this time, fertile farmlands got converted to Textile mills, in response to Cotton Revolution of America ofmid1800’s.

The worli sluice filling led to creation of final landmass. For better connectivity, Western Railway began in 1867 and Tulsi Pipe road in 1900’s.

1858-1906

With minor reclamations along border, filling of BKC, creation of Bandra Worli Sea link, the modern ward Map was created.

Some of the recommendation put forward by theBuildingCommitteeareasfollows:

1.Allprincipalstreetsshouldbeatleast50foot wide

2. All new houses built should maintain a distance of 50 feet between them the width beingfreeofprotectionandverandahs.

3. Small lanes were to be of a uniform 15 feet width.

4. Height of Indian houses to be restricted to thirtytwoft irrespectiveofthenumberofstoreys.

5.All shop projection in the black town would have to be removed as they were considered ads encroachments on the streets and cause ofdirtandfilth.

Municipal Corporation Act came into force, Municipal corporation of greater bombay was empowered to promote public safety, health conveniencebymakingprovisionsofmunicipal drains, disposal of sewage,etc. Provisions were made with respect to individual plot and the biggerpictureofthecitywasnotthoughtof.

ThestategovernmentbroughtinDevelopment Control Rule 58, which states that mill owners can sell his mill’s land by fulfilling following rules:

a.BMCshouldbehanded1/3rdland ,

b. MHADA to get 1/3rd land. Out of which half land should be given to housing projects for millworkers.

BDD (Bombay Development Directorate) was established in 1920 and was responsible for providing more land for housing and constructing for 50,000 tenements on reclaimed lands.

1898

Bombay Improvement Trust was set up during bubonic plague to improve city's condition Mandvi-Koliwada improvement scheme, at Agripada, Nowroji hills was de congested and congo hill quarried down, levelled with roads, recreational spaces and modern building sites. These schemes had thegreatestimpactonthepoorerpopulation ofthecity.

Under the same trust, other improvement scheme of importance was Worli Scheme, completed in 1922. 120 Acres on the west side of worli road was reclaimed and was used to house1,00,000people

The 2001 DCR gave protection (against eviction) to tenants of existing chawls on mill land, it set up a monitoring committee for payment of compensation to mill workers, it mandatedthatchildrenoftheworkersshould begivenjobsinenterprisescominguponmill lands, and it also said that of the 1/3 of the land to be taken by MHADA for affordable housing, one half should be reserved for millworkers housing. All these concessions gave rise to a spurt of fraudulent ‘modernisation proposals’ and ‘revival schemes’, coming up before the Board for Industrial and Financial Reconstruction (BIFR)in Delhi, using various excuses to make akillingontherealestatemarket.

Inordertocontrolthetraffic, efficiency of public transport systems needstobe upgraded.

Transportation networks, from bicycle paths to buses and railways, are the backbone of urban mobility. In large metropolitan areas, the integration of different transport modes has become crucialtoguaranteethe fast and sustainable flow of people

Multimodal transport systems can be described as multilayer networks where the networks associated to different transport modes are not considered in isolation, but as a set of interconnectedlayers.

Multi-modal transportation also is inclusive because it provides affordable options for all segments ofacity'spopulation.

The integration of all modes of public transport present an opportunity to develop public spaces betweenanytwo/threemodesoftransport.

GENERAL STUDY of various administrative bodies in G south Ward. Identification of those offices and mapping is done to understand the proximity and exact locations Analysis of footfall to each of the office wrt to the role they play helps to understand the classification of the major offices and their connections and coordination with other offices. BMC is one such major administrative body that plays major role.Offices like MCGM Engineering HUb is the body that coordinateswith BMC.BmcMaterialTestingLabissomethingthatfacilitatestotheBMCwrtto projects.

Interactioninpublicspacesisanoldtraditionandneeds to be policy of contemporary cities. A good city should have a good community life. Urbanized centers world over have a tendency to create individual spaces and gated communities which result in aloofness, loneliness and depressed lifestyles. Sense of community fades and individualism takes over. City designers need to set the stage for necessary activities like walking, optional activities like enjoying a view and social activities like temptingpublicactivities.

Indevelopingasmartcity,itcertainlyhasmanyaspects that must be met. One of these aspects is the aspect of securityinthecitywhichisusuallycalledasafecity."Safe city concept is one approach and as part of the live concept of the city focusing on the crime problem in urban areas". In other words, Safe City is an idea in a community that uses technology to help governments, communities and businesses reduce the possibility of crime and provide an environment where people feel safeandcomfortable.

Flooding is a major cause of disaster in the urban zone due to reasons like lack of proper drainage systems, lack of seepage areas and concretisation of majority of unbuilt land. For major flooding zones like Mumbai bringing about changes in the DCR can allow for easy seepage through lowering coefficient of spacesforbuiltarea

The purpose of this study is to investigate the current process of implementation of an urban design public project in Mumbai, understanding various authorities and the steps involved right from the identification to completion of a project in the public domain.The process was understood through a few existing projects around G-South Ward and a detailed analysis of the system was done to understandit’sprosandcons.

2.5.1 Understanding BMC system

The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), also known as the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai (MCGM), is the governing civic body of Mumbai. It was established under the Bombay Municipal Corporation Act 1888. BMC is responsible for the civic infrastructure and administration of the city and some suburbs. Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation has been formedwithfunctionstoimprovetheinfrastructureoftown.BMCcomprisesof18Departments..
