Preface

Mumbai’s PortLands are very dear to my heart. As the daughter of a naval officer, I grew up in many homes that looked East – over the beautiful Mumbai harbour.

However as our city developed, the Eastern waterfront was neglected. The PortLands became a derelict areaa dumping ground for mountains of coal, and toxic activities like ship breaking- a dark zone that everyone turned their back on. Along with our PortLands, every economic indicator showed that our city was also in decline. In my 2014 Lok Sabha campaign I committed myself to reviving the PortLands, which in turn would help rejuvenate the economy of Mumbai.

The 1000 acres of non-operational PortLands, held in trust by the Mumbai Port Trust (MbPT), for the citizens of Mumbai, if developed wisely, can create the public infrastructure, social utilities and open spaces that our city is critically short of. If this is done, the quality of life for our citizens will improve dramatically. This will create a virtuous cycle – our city will attract and retain talent; talent will attract investment; investment will create jobs and economic growth; which will attract more talent…

However to achieve this outcome, we will have to re-imagine the PortLands. We will also have to create a collaborative and constructive multi-stake holder dialogue involving the MbPT, Government authorities, Mumbai’s business community, urban planners, students and above all our Citizens.

Since 2014, we have been working towards this goal. IMC’s Urban Development Committee along with the Citizens’ Forum APLI Mumbai presented a Citizens’ Vision plan on redeveloping the PortLands for a more livable Mumbai. The plan, which was widely acclaimed by the media, is reproduced in this report. We are delighted that the Rani Jadhav committee adopted many of our ideas.

Moving from Vision to Action, during 2015-16, we won a landmark victory in Mumbai High Court against the coal mountains that were polluting Mumbai’s lungs. We are sparing no effort to stop the highly polluting ship breaking activity in the PortLands.

In the 2016 IMC APLI Mumbai PortLands Conference, we have suggested profitable alternative uses of the derelict PortLands spaces that will add to MbPT’s revenues, create thousands of jobs and give a much needed boost to Mumbai’s economy. Mumbaikars from all walks of life, concerned about the future of our city and passionate about making it a better place, attended the conference.

We are confident that under the Action-oriented leadership of the Hon Minister of Shipping Shri Gadkari and the Chairman of the MbPT, Shri Sanjay Bhatia, tangible actions will be taken for the re-development of the PortLands, to improve the quality of life for our citizens, and make Mumbai a more livable, inclusive and resilient city.

Foreword

The Importance of the PortLands Redevelopment : A Business perspective Set up in 1907, the 109-year old Indian Merchants’ Chamber has over 2700 members, comprising a wide and representative cross-section of the business community. Because the chamber is headquartered in Mumbai and a large number of its member-establishments operate in and around the city including the extended suburbs, Mumbai’s growth potential has always been high on our priority.

As business people with strong sense of civic consciousness and social commitment, we are concerned that Mumbai shows stagnation on many economic indicators. As the acknowledged premier commercial capital region of India, Mumbai’s growth trajectory has an impact on the entire country. There is an urgent need to revive Mumbai’s economy and spur Job Creation and Skill Development in the city.

Historically, Mumbai has owed it existence as a global metropolis to its strategic location on sea trade routes in the Indian Ocean. However, over the years, Mumbai’s port-related activities have migrated substantially to other ports including the nearby JNPT. So, much of the land area under control of the Mumbai Port Trust has been rendered surplus. Given the scarcity of land in the country in general and in Mumbai city in particular, it is imperative that land belonging to Mumbai Port Trust is effectively and beneficially utilised to boost economic activity and thereby create jobs and incomes.

The IMC’s Urban Development Committee has championed the PortLands agenda since May 2014. We believe that the re-development of Mumbai’s PortLands offers a unique opportunity to ensure that Mumbai regains its place as the most entrepreneurial and innovative city in India.

However, this will be possible if only the city is an attractive place for businesses to invest their money, energy, talent and enterprise. Many of Mumbai’s talented young business people are migrating elsewhere, because it is simply too expensive to live and work here.

IMC urges the Union Ministry of Shipping and the Mumbai Port Trust to take a long-term view of the PortLands redevelopment and work towards utilizing this vacant and idle asset to the city’s best advantage. Let us use this opportunity to create high quality public infrastructure and utilities that our city is now short of and desperately needs - such as educational institutions, incubation hubs, healthcare facilities, sports facilities, space for recreation, arts & culture and open spaces as part of city’s 6

‘green lung’.

V i s i o n t o A c t i o n : I M C A PL I Po r t L a n d s C o n f e r e n c e M a y, 2 016

In particular, I believe Skill Development facilities for our youth to be trained and made employable in industries of the future are urgently required. The PortLands University in Haji Bunder and Vocational training district in Lakdi Bunder, suggested in the IMC APLI Mumbai 2014 Report, are projects that could make a significant difference to the future of Mumbai. That makes implementation of the suggestion not just necessary but imperative.

This surplus area of about 1,000 acres is a fortuitous opportunity for our city; an occurrence rare for a growing metropolis.

We must take maximum advantage of the opportunity to reinvigorate Mumbai.

As citizens of Mumbai we are all stakeholders in the success of our city and it is our duty to make it a better place for the present and future generations. I am delighted that along with our partner APLI Mumbai, IMC has been able to play a leading role in facilitating this multi-stakeholder dialogue on the PortLands re-development. I commend this report to the Hon. Minister of Shipping, Shri Nitin Gadkari, for his consideration.

Dilip Piramal President, IMC

Foreword

Importance of the PortLands Redevelopment : A Markets perspective I have been privileged to be part of the core team that founded the NSE and now to be MD & CEO of the BSE. Established in 1875, the BSE is Asia’s first stock Exchange and the 11th largest in the world with a market capitalization of USD 1.7 trillion and more than 5500 companies listed. It is also the world’s fastest stock exchange with a median trade speed of 6 microseconds!

It is no accident that two amongst the World’s largest stock exchanges, NSE & BSE are located in Mumbai. Mumbai is the leading financial centre in India for financial activities comprising a matrix of financial markets, financial institutions and financial industries firms. It is the hub for the securities industry, commercial banking, asset management and insurance and home to the RBI, India’s central bank.

Talented finance professionals, who were educated and trained in Mumbai, have taken leading positions in Financial Institutions across the world. For many years there has been talk of developing an International Financial Centre in Mumbai.

Regrettably due to a lack of suitable infrastructure, cities like Dubai and Singapore, manned mostly by Indian talent, have taken a lead over our city.

The PortLands Redevelopment offers a chance for Mumbai to take its rightful place as the leading Financial Centre of Asia.

Taking on this position will create thousands of highly paid jobs for young professionals & financial entrepreneurs.

We now have a world class regulatory and technology infrastructure to support our objective. Physical infrastructure of excellent quality is also now available: from the Financial District in BKC to the historic Financial and Business district in the Fort Area to high quality space for financial intermediaries in Lower Parel.

However we sorely lack the public and social infrastructure that is essential to attract the best minds to our city. In today’s globalised world where there is a race to attract the best talent, Quality of life is very important and Urban Planning plays a major role in this. Cities like Singapore are moving from concepts like “Gardens in the city” to the futuristic model of “City in a Garden”. The PortLands can help transform Mumbai into a world class city, if the public realm is developed in the right way.

As MD & CEO of BSE I am personally delighted to be associated with IMC and APLI Mumbai on this transformative initiative for Mumbai. I urge the Ministry of Shipping, and Port Authorities to take a futuristic and far-sighted perspective for the redevelopment of the PortLands. If we do it right “Duniya hila denge hum !”

Ashishkumar Chauhan MD and CEO, BSE

Foreword

Importance of the PortLands Redevelopment : An Entrepreneur’s perspective “Dream big! If you are passionate about what you are doing, and you have the drive to succeed, you will make it…”

This has always been my advice to young entrepreneurs. It was what guided me when the late JRD Tata asked me to return to India from MIT, to set up the Tata Computer Center, which was renamed as Tata Consultancy Services. This guided me to set up my own group of companies - Datamatics and what guides me even today as Datamatics explores new frontiers.

Mumbai is the city of dreams. It has always been a magnet for talented and innovative entrepreneurs. I love our city. I have lived here for over 70 years. And yet as I travel around the world, I see how sharply the quality of life in Mumbai has continuously declined.

Today our city is unlivable for most of its citizens. There are few open spaces to walk, breathe, play or dream in.

Mumbai falls short on every urban development indicator – and on open spaces, at 1.00 sq. m per capita, we rank amongst the lowest of any city in the world. The per capita open space in London is 30 times larger than Mumbai !

Our city wants to attract talented entrepreneurs. Cities across the world compete to attract talent. Talented youngsters are drawn to cities that are considered “nice” places to live. Cities with good Public infrastructure – affordable and high quality schools, colleges, universities, hospitals, libraries, play grounds, arts & culture centres, and parks and promenades are winning the global race for talent.

Mumbai’s Portlands with 900 acres of land offer us a unique and once in a lifetime chance to re-invent and rejuvenate our city. IMC and APLI Mumbai have presented several innovative ideas that are easy and swift to implement and that would transform Mumbai and bring it on par with the best cities of the world. Our strategy for the development of the Portlands should be a WIN-WIN-WIN. The citizens must win, the Government must win and the Mumbai’s entrepreneurs must win too.

We should also examine how the Portlands can be connected to mainland India by bridges, rapid transit public transport and ferries. Mumbai is an island like New York City, which has 12 bridges and tunnels connecting it to the mainland USA. One idea in particular, that I strongly recommend, is the creation of an Incubation Hub for young entrepreneurs in Elphinstone Estate. I am confident that with a small investment this could become a major centre of innovation and entrepreneurship, much like Shoreditch in London.

I am delighted to have been a member of IMC’s Urban Development Committee and urge the Port Authorities to seriously consider our recommendations.

Foreword

Importance of the PortLands Redevelopment : Citizens perspective Mumbaikars are busy people. Mumbaikars are more productive and contribute more to the economy than any other city in India.

Being Busy at work and with their businesses are good and necessary, but ease of doing business should be applied to the business of living too. Mumbaikars need open spaces to breathe, to play to relax, and enjoy life with their families. Open spaces at Girgaum Chowpatty, Dadar and Juhu along the western waterfront are far too overcrowded.

In 2014 Meera Sanyal convened a group of Mumbai’s citizens from all walks of life to focus on the potential of the PortLands – a diverse group of architects, urban planners, lawyers, doctors, housewives, students, Koli fisherfolk, residents of the PortLands, retired Government officials and Armed forces personnel, amongst others joined hands to form APLI Mumbai.

It has been the endeavour of APLI Mumbai to bring to the notice of Mumbaikars, that there are 1000 acres of land on the Eastern part of the island waiting to be developed for the citizens. We believe that the PortLands should be viewed holistically as an integral part of the city and not as an isolated area for development. Our belief has been that the PortLands if redeveloped with a citizen centric approach could ease many of the problems our city faces. Mumbai must become a more livable city for all, if it is to have a future.

From a Citizens’ perspective this is a goal we must all work towards. It is time to think of future resilience for our city : how will we cope with climate change, rising sea levels and flash floods? How will we create more skills and opportunities for gainful employment for our children? How will we use the powerful benefits of the digital age to empower every young Mumbaikar irrespective of her/ his background?

APLI Mumbai believes the PortLands can be the nucleus of a SMART Mumbai. We invite you all to join the PortLands Movement!

Vice Admiral IC Rao, (Retd.)

Keynote Address by Chief Guest, Chairman Mumbai Port Trust

Mr. Sanjay Bhatia shared that he had been in his role as Chairman of MbPT for just 15 days. He had been assigned this role with the mandate of re-developing the PortLands. In order to formulate ideas and understand the context of the re-development of Mumbai’s PortLands he has studied briefly previous reports as mentioned below: •

Master Plan for Mumbai Port by AECOM

•

Origin- Destination Analysis of Major commodities by M/s. Mckinsey

•

Feasibility Study and DPR for Development of Dry Dock by Mantrana Maritime Advisory Private Ltd.

•

Report of Boston Consulting Group on port productivity

•

Draft Report on Land Use Plan of Mumbai Port Trust by RITES

•

Mumbai Port Waterfront and Port Land Development Report by MPLDC

•

Regenerating Mumbai Port Land by IMC & APLI Mumbai

•

Rani Jadhav Committee report

In his presentation he focused on Citizens’ Aspirations, MbPT’s Constraints and Proposed Action Plan.

1. Citizens’ Aspirations: The aspirations of the citizens as garnered from various reports included •

Public utilities such as gardens, playgrounds, jogging parks, cycling tracks, entertainment hubs;

•

Water Front activities like promenades and walkways, water sports, Marinas;

•

Public transport facilities like water transport and terminals, Transit oriented development, parking places,

metro connectivity, CST to Panvel elevated corridor etc

•

Sea side Developments like Maritime museum, hotels & convention centre;

•

Port Led Developments like an International cruise terminal.

Mr. Bhatia expressed the Government’s intention to promote environmental sustainability and limit the port activities to non-polluting and non-harmful activities.

He also promised complete transparency in the whole process of re-development of Mumbai’s PortLands and consultation with all stakeholders during this project.

2. MbPT’s Constraints Mr. Bhatia candidly shared the constraints faced by MbPT, which could slow down the process of re-development of the PortLands. One Major issue was that vacant land was available only in scattered patches, so large-scale work was not immediately possible. Most plots in the PortLands are on lease and several are under litigation.

Also, MbPT was constrained by the Major Port Trust Act 1963 in terms of land use norms. Development in Ports are only allowed for port related activities. An amendment to the Act to allow MbPT to undertake non-Port activities would be required.

CRZ was another issue. Since at present ownership is with MbPT and the activities allowed in the area, are only port related activities, CRZ is not applicable for the PortLands. Once the PortLands open up for other developments, CRZ norms will come in to play and could constrain re-developments planned.

Finance was another major constraint. In addition to finance for re-development, the needs of a large number of Pensioners and Port Trust employees would need to be taken into account. As there were numerous people presently employed in port related jobs, it was also important to account for them while shifting or closing down any activities in those areas.

Environmental issues and organizational capabilities would have to be addressed before starting the project.

Re-habilitating existing slums and dealing with unauthorized encroachments was a challenging issue as there are several illegal squatter settlements on MbPT Lands.

Finally differing views of stakeholders and multiple government organizations added to the complexity of the project.

3. Action Plan Mr. Sanjay Bhatia shared some preliminary thoughts & ideas on how he hopes to tackle the constraints and develop an Action Plan for re-developing the PortLands in a manner that meets Citizens’ aspirations. The salient features of the plan are listed below : 1.

MbPT plans to set up a special department for PortLand development, instead of creating a completely new

SPV at this initial stage. This is because an SPV set up at a very initial stage could cause a lot of ownership

and accountability issues.

2.

MbPT must be declared as a Special Planning Authority for preparing the re-development plan, which meets

all the aspirations of citizens while covering financing needs through monetization of land.

3.

MbPT will engage Project Management and Implementation Consultant (PMIC) and assign them these tasks:

• Preparing a Master Plan with phasing of the plans depending upon the availability of lands,

• Preparing a Detailed Plan

• Implementation of the projects including infrastructure.

4.

MbPT also plans to engage CIDCO as an advisor for the project because of their past successful track

record in Navi Mumbai & experience of the new Mumbai international airport.

5.

The Govt of India (Min of Shipping) & the Govt of Maharashtra will set up a High Level

Co–ordination committee, headed by the Shipping Secretary with Chief Secretary Govt of Maharashtra as

Co–chairman, MbPT Chairman as Vice Chairman & Secretary of the committee. This committee would be

empowered to take all the decisions regarding the PortLands re-development.

V i s i o n t o A c t i o n : I M C A PL I Po r t L a n d s C o n f e r e n c e M a y, 2 016

6.

MbPT will prepare an Economic and Financial Project Report, with plans for monetization of land parcels as

per CIDCOs experience.

7.

All leases that have expired will not be extended

8.

MbPT will consider selling/ leasing existing vacant plots in Ballard Estate and Apollo Bunder to generate

immediate resources for this project.

9.

MbPT will publicly share plans for the International Cruise Terminal

10. Mr. Bhatia talked about transforming the Victoria and Princes docks into a Marina and tourist waterfront area,

while retaining the OCT and Indira Docks for port activities.

11. MbPT will complete GIS mapping of the entire PortLands area 12. MbPT will strengthen their legal department to deal with expired leases 13. To get a clear idea about the land use changes, CRZ and environmental issues MbPT will engage consultants

as appropriate

14. MbPt will also prepare a detailed slum rehabilitation plan The project monitoring and implementation committee will handle all the above planning and coordination issues.

Mr. Bhatia concluded by sharing a rough timeline for the events related to the re-development project. His estimate was that the Preparatory work would be completed in about 4 months, followed by the Plan Preparation which would take about 6 months. Development of Infrastructure is estimated to be completed in 2 – 4 years depending upon clearances.

Executive Summary

•• The IMC-APLI Mumbai 2016 PortLands Conference “Vision to Action” was held on 23 May 2016 at the BSE, Mumbai. This is the second in the series of the #PortLands conferences.

•• Our first conference, entitled “Look East” held at IMC Mumbai in Nov 2014, presented a Citizens’ vision plan for the PortLands. During 2015, IMC’s Urban Development Committee and APLI Mumbai Citizens’ Forum have worked ceaselessly to advocate and assist tangible actions as per this vision document. This year we jointly felt that the time has come to move from “Vision to Action”. The announcement of several Port Led development programs amounting to Rs 28,000 crores for Mumbai and the appointment of a new Chairman of Mumbai port Trust (MbPT), known for his integrity and competence – Mr Sanjay Bhatia, was the impetus for the 2016 # PortLands Conference.

•• The keynote address by Chief Guest Mr. Bhatia, was a blend of thoughtful appreciation on Citizens’ aspirations and MbPT’s constraints, combined with crystal clear transparency on the Action Plan to redevelop the PortLands. He listed a 14 point action plan which has been reproduced in full in the subsequent pages of this report, giving a unique opportunity for Mumbai’s citizens to engage and collaborate with the Chairman of the largest Government enterprise in the city – the MbPT. Mr. Bhatia’s transparent commitment to a time line of 4 months for planning and 2- 4 years for infrastructure development is praiseworthy.

•• Post the inaugural session, there were six sessions, each dedicated to a specific aspect of PortLands development. In each session there was an expert presentation, followed by a panel discussion of eminent domain experts.

•• The first session dealt with the importance of integrating the PortLands into the city of Mumbai rather than treating it as an isolated project. Leading Urban planners shared their ideas on how public transport could facilitate connectivity. They emphasized that the redevelopment of the PortLands should be viewed in a holistic manner along with the Development plans for Mumbai.

•• The second session on Fisheries and the Marine Industry focused on the modernisation of Sassoon Dock The Urban Development Committee of IMC and APLI Mumbai have strongly advocated this over two years, as an essential activity for the fishing community in Mumbai. The sanction of Rs 52.17 Cr is a great step forward and the scope of the report by the Central Institute of Coastal Engineering for Fishery (CICEF) along with a comprehensive plan for solid waste management was discussed in the first session.

•• The third session on Tourism in the PortLands, shared how across the world, cities are re-developing Ports with marinas and cruise ship terminals as the focal point. These create tremendous tourism opportunities and generate employment while improving the face of their city centres.

22

V i s i o n t o A c t i o n : I M C A PL I Po r t L a n d s C o n f e r e n c e M a y, 2 016

•• Wellness and Recreation and creating an Eastern promenade was the theme of the fourth session. The presentation and panel discussion by leading environmentalists and urban planners raised the threshold of expectations by citizens – it was agreed by all that we must aim to convert unused and derelict PortLands into vibrant open spaces, playgrounds and public institutions.

•• The fifth session on Passenger Water Transportation was of great interest – many in the audience had joined the Conference from trans harbor areas such as Vashi, Mandwa and Alibaug, requesting that PWT be swiftly introduced for both North South and trans harbor connectivity. The expert presentation and panel discussion gave compelling reasons to prioritise PWT. •• The last session focused on the enabling legal framework needed to implement the re-development of the PortLands. The finest legal minds in the Government and the city must focus on this to ensure that port projects launched with fanfare do not flounder in a regulatory quagmire.

•• This summary is inadequate to convey the impact of experiencing the buzz around the PortLands, initiated and nurtured by IMC’s Urban Development Committee and APLI Mumbai. It fails to convey the expertise of our speakers and the creativity of our young planners who presented a portrait of a re-imagined Mumbai to the audience. It also fails to capture the knowledge, expectations and goodwill of citizens from all walks of life who joined the Conference, and who are committed to ensuring that our PortLands do not go the way of the Mill Lands of Mumbai.

•• This summary would be considered successful if it results in inducing the reader to delve deeper into the subject. We commend the reading of this report in its entirety, and invite you to join the PortLands Movement !

Session 1:Integrating Mumbai’s Portlands With The City Presentation by Ms Hrydhal Damani

Ms Hrydhal Damani :Urban Planner and member Mumbai Portland Regeneration Project for the Rani Jadhav Committee

Synopsis: Ms. Damani showcased some of the Global best practices on port re-developments. She spoke about how the successful re-developments of London Docks, Melbourne, Barcelona waterfront, Sydney Harbor & Tokyo have transformed the economies of these cities & improved citizens’ lives.

She presented Singapore as an excellent case study on Port re-development. Singapore Urban Development Authority has envisioned the re-development of their Port lands through a process of citizen engagement. By shifting the container terminal to the west, they will extend the city area and will create a waterfront with public access for the city. The continuous waterfront, will expand public spaces and connect city wide green and open spaces, thus creating new opportunities to live, work and play.

Ms. Damani shared details of the current shortfalls in the city of Mumbai (as acknowledged in Mumbai’s DP) of social infrastructure, public utilities and open spaces.

Re-developing the PortLands with a citizens focus would help resolve these problems – but only if we also integrate the PortLands with Mumbai city. Ms. Damani presented various illustrative slides showing how with a very small investment in existing Rail and Road infrastructure could open up the PortLands area to the citizens of Mumbai. She also showed how Passenger Water Transport would greatly ease the load on existing rail and road public transport, both for North South and Trans Harbour connectivity.

Ms. Damani concluded by making several practical recommendations on steps that could be taken to integrate the PortLands with the Planning process of the City

Session 2: Fisheries And Marine Industry Presentation by Michael Pereira and Debartha Bannerjee

Mr Michael Pereira

Mr Debartha Banerjee

Entrepreneur & Member APLI Mumbai

Director and co-founder of Sampurn(e)arth

Synopsis: Mr. Michael Pereira started by giving a brief history of Sassoon docks. Built in 1875 by the Sassoon Company, it has been functioning as a fishing harbor since 1888. Today, it employs about 3000 people and has an annual turnover of approx. Rs. 3 Cr. Despite being a hub of economic activity and employment the dock area is highly congested, filthy and poorly maintained.

He highlighted national and international best Practices at fishing docks in Cochin, Tokyo and the famous Fulton market of New York. He also shared strategies used by Gujarat and Kerala to develop and expand the marine & fishing industry in their respective states.

Mr. Debartha Banerjee then explained the problems with solid waste management at Sassoon Docks. He shared details of the Sampurn(e)arth study being carried out for mapping the waste management system and collection of scientific and sociological data to identify the waste generation patterns at the docks.

He shared the thought process for designing a custom waste management solution for the Docks, which focused on decentralization and optimum and simple solutions to solve the waste management issue.

Mr. Michael Pereira then shared the CICEF modernization proposal and strongly recommended an immediate Sanction of Rs 52.17 Cr and implementation of CICEF Report by June 2016 with a target Completion date of Sept 2018. The Waste management solution by Sampurn(e)arth should be implemented by Sept 2017. These steps would greatly facilitate and enhance marine and fishing activity in the Sassoon Docks by providing hygienic and modern facilities for sea-food auction & processing to the thousands of Kolis and fishermen who depend on Sassoon Docks for their daily livelihood.

Panel Discussion:

Chairperson: Mr. Bijay Kumar, Principal Sec. ADF, Government of Maharashtra.

Panelist: Mr. Gul Kriplani, former President of the Seafood exporters Association, Mr. Aserkar, Chief Engineer MbPT, Mr. Michael Pereira Activist and member of APLI Mumbai And Mr. Debartha Banerjee. Director Sampurn(e)arth P Ltd Outcome: Mr. Bijay Kumar gave a brief presentation, showing photos of Sassoon Docks that he had taken during his morning walks. He agreed with the points made in the presentation and added that serious issues such as silt deposition at the Old Sassoon basin and untreated liquid sewage waste pouring directly into the basin, needed to be dealt with urgently.

The panel debated whether the CICEF report should be implemented first or other structural issues should be addressed. Mr. Aserkar explained that the problems of Sassoon Docks had been studied in detail by CICEF and it was advisable to proceed in a Phased manner. The implementation of Phase 1, (Rs 52.17 crore project) would address urgent needs of fisherfolk for dock facilities, hygiene and sanitation, which could not be delayed further.

Mr. Gul Kripalani former President of the Sea Food Exporters Association suggested certain long and short term solutions.

In his view the long-term solution was to shift the fishing and landing docs near Taloja, where the major marine Processing units were located. This would save time, fuel and money while at the same time reduce burden of fish offal and waste at Sassoon Docks. The Docks could then cater to fish food requirements of Mumbai city and also become a tourist destination like fish markets abroad, with Koli cuisine restaurants etc. However he agreed that the immediate requirement was to modernize the existing docks, reduce the pollution caused by poor waste management and improve water quality.

Some members of the audience disagreed with this view saying that we must respect the origins of traditional local communities and instead of shifting them anywhere, should provide them with better facilities in situ. They also stressed the need for disaster management & proper administration of the docks post modernization.

Mr. Michael Pereira representing APLI Mumbai, stated that as citizens, their group was working closely to involve all local stakeholders, and to assist the authorities for a swift and seamless implementation of the Phase I modernization proposal Mr. Debartha Banerjee assured the audience that optimal waste management solutions were being considered by Sampur(e) arth to utilize waste products effectively e.g. for fish food, fertilizer compost, energy etc. Local rag pickers would be involved to deal with non-fish waste.

Mr Bijay Kumar concluded the session by thanking panelists and audience for their ideas, suggestions and comments and assured all present that under joint management with MbPT, the Maharashtra Dept of Fisheries would ensure that Phase I of the Sassoon Docks modernization would be swiftly completed.

Session 3: Tourism In The Portlands

Mr Simon Arrol, International Consultant on Marinas and author of the “Marina Manual”

Synopsis: Mr. Arrol shared that re-developments of erstwhile Port & Dock areas can enhance the value of entire neighborhood and surrounding areas.

PortLands across the world have become valuable assets for tourism as they create great public spaces, and can be used for promoting lucrative Maritime, Cultural & Entertainment events.

He shared that there was no PortLands re-development in the world that did not feature a Marina. The re-development of Mumbai’s PortLands was an opportunity to create a Marina in Mumbai, which would bring the city several benefits. Maritime tourists were recognized as the highest spending tourists. There were also many pristine and beautiful tourist destinations in Maharashtra such as the maritime forts built by Shivaji and the Marathas, which could only be explored by sea. By building a Marina, Mumbai would open up a whole new world of environmentally friendly and high value tourism.

Mr. Arrol shared details of the pre-requisites to make a Marina commercially and technically viable. He suggested “low density development” around the Marina, with Low rise buildings of not more than 5 stories and lots of space in the public realm, with waterfront parks etc. Other amenities such as hotels, a yacht club, and high quality offices could be built in the vicinity.

Mr. Arrol discussed potential sites for the Marina e.g. Marine Drive Bay, Versova, Sewri, & Nariman Point, but said that in his view Victoria Dock would be the most suitable. He shared an artist’s impression on what the Victoria Dock area could look like, if a Marina were developed there.

A marina There have been many portland regeneration projects around the world during the past 40 years or so and, almost without exception, the yacht marina acts as a focal point and is one of the first components to be built.

One cannot but help remark on how much Mumbai needs a marina. It is almost impossible to identify another sea-side city

of Mumbai’s stature and wealth that does not have a single marina.

Goodbye to the Prince’s & Victoria Docks Marina viability

The Prince’s & Victoria Docks

1 of 5

To be commercially and technically viable, a yacht marina requires: • Sheltered waters

• Adequate water depth without recourse to routine dredging • Land for support services • A pleasant environment

Unfortunately the geography and urbanisation of the city is such that the options are very few and some that have been touted are

all but impractical.

However, if the OCT Jetty were to become a cruise ship and ferry terminal, and if the Indira Dock continues in use for cargo handling, it would be possible to excavate the Prince’s & Victoria Docks and regenerate them per the earlier scheme.

If the cruise terminal required some additional marshalling area then this might be provided by using the northern end of the Indira Dock and/or the southern part of the Victoria Dock.

The ship lock is far too large for yachts and is very expensive to operate and maintain.

The solution is to build a modern, sector-gate yacht lock within the barrel of the ship lock.

Summaryeneration •

Although one of the world’s Top Ten metros, Mumbai enjoys the distinction of having no marina, no major Cruise Terminal

and no significant length of developed public waterfront.

•

Marinas and their infrastructure (e.g. locks, boatyards) should feature in the early master-planning process.

Sagarmala Projects The Maritime India Summit identified some tourism related projects: • Modernising the Indira Dock cruise ship terminal, $8 million.

• Developing a mega-cruise terminal, $92 million.

• Building a ropeway between Sewree and Elephanta, $23 million.

These amounts, totaling $123 million (about Rs 820 cr) are significant. Is this the best use of these funds?

• Instead of spending a reported $15 million to convert the OCT to handle steel, plus $92 million on a new cruise terminal (and where could this be located?), should we not convert the OCT Jetty to a cruise ship and coastal ferry terminal?

• Instead of a high maintenance ropeway to Elephanta, are modern personal water transport services a better investment?

Panel Discussion:

Chairperson: Mr Parag Jain.M.D. Maharashtra Tourism Development Corporation Panelists: Mr. Gautam Dey,Sr Deputy Traffic Manager (Business Development) Major General Dutta, Yachting enthusiast and Chairman Marine Solutions (P) Ltd, Mr. Soli Engineer,Former Director, Great Offshore Ltd, Mr. Mark Fernandes former Trustee Mumbai Port Trust, and Mr. Simon Arrol. International Marina consultant Outcome: Introducing the topic, Mr. Parag Jain shared that there was a move to a very open minded approach towards tourism in Maharashtra. He highlighted the opportunities for Public Private Partnerships for such projects. He committed to ensuring that any tourism related projects would receive his complete support.

Mr. Gautam Dey stated that projects such as the Cruise Terminal & Marina were both doable and required in Mumbai. Such projects increase tourism activity, which add greatly to employment and economy of the region. He said that MbPT were prioritising plans for an International cruise terminal in Indira Docks and a marina in Victoria and Princes Docks.

Maj. Gen. Dutta stated that for an international city like Mumbai, a Marina would be a very attractive component for tourist activity. Mumbai could even have two marinas – one in the east and one in the west !

Mr Engineer felt that though we have multiple planning and governance authorities, there was no need for a different authority for monitoring these projects. There are multiple examples in world where marina development took place with same governing body: e.g London Dock lands.

Mr Fernandes said that to have another body develop the Marinas under MbPT would not be an ideal situation as there would be many accountability and organizational issues. The PortLands should first be developed and then be handed over to another authority for running and maintenance. He also candidly shared that a big problem for such projects was the frequent transfer of honest bureaucrats.

The audience participated enthusiastically and placed on record the need to have clear policies recognizing leisure yachts, as yacht tourism could become one of the biggest generators of foreign tourism.

In closing Mr. Jain thanked the panelists and audience and said that the Mumbai PortLands could set an example for Maritime Tourism in India.

Session 4: Wellness And Recreation In Portlands

Mansi Sahu, Cofounder of Urban Planning Practice, StudioPOD

Synopsis: Ms. Sahu stressed the importance of public spaces in a citizen’s life as a new mantra for wellness.

In Mumbai, the per capita open space is one of the lowest in the world and the PortLands gives us the opportunity to improve this ratio, while at the same time making our city more climate resilient. Ms. Sahu shared the tremendous opportunities the eastern waterfront presented for watersports, kayaking, sailing etc.

She discussed the case study of Battery Park, Manhattan, New York, wherein all the port-side edges were converted to green promenades. Looping spaces had been created for people to walk, run or cycle contiguously. She suggested that a similar approach could be taken at the PortLands with a balanced mix of soft and hard landscapes, to suit space availability.

Ms. Sahu recommended the revitalization of areas like Sewri, Darukhana, Hay Bunder and Haji Bunder. Sewri’s natural assets like flamingo habitats in the mud flats, and cultural assets like the Sewri Fort should be used to create unique destinations and heritage walks. Darukhana can flourish with wellness activities like Water sports, Promenades and Recreation Parks. A Sports city could be developed for Mumbai in Haji Bunder and Hay Bunder.

Ms. Sahu concluded by saying that open spaces, if planned wisely, could connect the eastern and the western halves of our city. This would not only increase the per capita open space in Mumbai but greatly enhance the quality of life of every Mumbaikar.

Situated at the delta of the Mithi River, Maharashtra Nature Park links the larger river system to Mahim Bay and the Arabian Sea.In planning for future growth and development in Mumbai, it is critical to embrace the Mithi River as an integral part of the urban and ecological landscape of the city. The River plays a critical role with the dispersal of storm water and the preservation of the mangroves. The poor water quality and edge conditions of the river must be

health of the ecosystem and the surrounding communities.

Restore the Mithiís Estuary with Resilient Landscapes

The proposed plan to enhance Maharashtra Nature Park sets a powerful precedent for future environmental restoration and urban improvement projects along the river with resilient landscapes.

As the redevelopment in the region goes on the vision is to provide some breathing room for ecological restoration of Mithiís Estuary, which has been severely encroached and incessantly being reclaimed in the 21st Century.

The proposed bridge could inspire a series of additional links across the Mithi, connecting countless communities up and down the river.

This will be especially important to link the residential communities and rail lines on the south side of the river to the growing BKC commercial area, existing and planned open spaces and planned metro lines on the north side of the river.

Panel Discussion:

Chairperson: Dr. D M Sukthankar former Chief Secretary Government of Maharashtra and former Municipal Commissioner, Mumbai Panelists: Dr. Shweta Bhatt, author of “Coastal Zones of India” and member Conservation Action Trust Ms. Sumaira Abdulali, Environmentalist and founder of Awaaz Foundation Mr Sarfaraz Momin, CoFounder of Studiopod an urban planning practice Ms Mansi Sahu, CoFounder of Studiopod an urban planning practice Dr. DM Sukthankar pointed out that the per capita open space in Mumbai is low because of multiple factors, a major one of them being lack of affordable housing for people of Mumbai which leads to encroachment on open areas by squatters.

Ms. Sumaira Abdulali said that the existing distribution of open spaces in Mumbai is highly inequitable. There is a big divide, wherein only the rich can take the advantages of most open spaces. At present most Mumbaikars have no option but to use roads and pavements for cultural and social needs. She said that integration of the existing needs of the people with the upcoming ideas for open spaces of the PortLands, must assure that the proposed spaces are accessible for all. A truly world class city, means a city, that offers a good quality of life, to all its citizens.

Dr. Bhatt stressed that the transformation of the PortLands shouldn’t be confused with the idea of increasing the built density in that area. She said it was important to prioritize environmental sustainability and climate resilience. She also said it was essential to ensure equitable opportunities for everyone to access Public open spaces. Lastly she urged that the livelihoods and life style of the oldest communities of Mumbai, the Kolis, should be protected.

Mr. Momin explained how, from an urban planning perspective, development and open spaces go hand in hand. He emphasised the need for equity and ensuring that infrastructure is made equally available for all. He also highlighted the idea of integrating walking and cycling networks in the city and concluded by saying that if people had better infrastructural facilities, they would use this willingly - so why not design for them. Children of our city were talented sportsmen and women but they lacked sports facilities. With areas to play and practice Mumbai’s children could excel in sports and bring glory to the city.

46

V i s i o n t o A c t i o n : I M C A PL I Po r t L a n d s C o n f e r e n c e M a y, 2 016

Ms Sahu said that the open spaces created on the PortLands will also make our city resilient to seawater rise and climate change as these areas would become the sea buffers. Mumbai’s water shortage could be addressed by using the PortLand open spaces for rainwater harvesting and ground water recharge.

This was one of the liveliest sessions with the audience providing many ideas and suggestions on possibilities for wellness and recreation in the PortLands. The issue of Salt Pan lands was also raised and all agreed that these were important water sinks, and should be developed only after carefully considering impact on climate resilience of Mumbai.

Mr Sukthankar concluded the session by thanking panelists and audience for their enthusiastic participation saying that all citizens of Mumbai must unite to ensure that the PortLands do not go the way of the Mill Lands of lower Parel. This is our last chance to have the recreation and open spaces the city needs and we must join hands to protect and preserve this.

Session 5: Water Transportation For Mumbai

Cdr. K K Sharma, Marine Consultant, Officer on Special Duty, Mumbai Metro Rail Corp

Synopsis: Cdr. Sharma shared his experience of running hovercraft services, successfully between Vashi and Appollo Bunder, in the late 90’s. He mentioned the factors that make Public Passenger Water Transport (PWT) systems successful and gave concrete recommendations on how to action them.

He provided locations of possible terminals, on Mumbai’s eastern coast, which would help connect the city of Mumbai to the main land – faster and more cost effectively than was presently possible. Detailed data showing time and money saved on various routes was shared.

Cdr. Sharma explained that if terminals are properly located (eg at Indira Docks), PWT can function during the monsoons.

He showed demand charts that demonstrated that this was a popular and preferred mode of transport between Mandwa and Mumbai both pre and post monsoons.

Detailed cost estimates for PWT terminal infrastructure and maintenance were provided. The entire cost for 6 terminals on Mumbai island and a similar number across the harbor, catering to multiple vessels like Hovercraft, Catamarans and Ro Ro vessels was estimated at approx. Rs 300 crores – less than half the cost projections for the proposed Sewri – Elephanta ropeway !

Cdr. Sharma then listed the issues that must be addressed for a viable and safe Passenger Water Transport system in Mumbai. His recommendations are summarized below:

48

•

Develop infrastructure in consultation with vessel operators

•

Create infrastructure that can cater to a variety of vessels

•

Assign routes to vessel operators through competitive long term tenders

•

Develop centralized repair & maintenance facilities

•

Create multiple landing stations along the coast to provide North-South & Trans Harbour connectivity

•

Create Understanding with the existing vessel operators

•

Panel Discussion:

Chairperson: Mr. Michael Pinto, I.A.S. (Retd) former Secretary, Shipping, Government of india Panelist: Prof Krishna Rao, Professor of Civil Engineering and Urban transport Planning, I.I.T. (B) Mr. Darryl D’Monte, Chairperson of the Forum of Environmental Journalists of IndiaMr. Aashim Mongia, Director, Indian Marine Federation CDR. KK Sharma, Passenger Water Transport Expert , Mumbai Outcome: The Chairman Mr. Pinto asked panelists to address three key issues related to PWT : Financial viability, last mile connectivity and operations during the monsoons.

Mr. Darryl D’Monte expressed his concern that in Mumbai, planners and authorities neither consulted each other nor citizens.

As a result the left hand did not know what the right hand was doing. Lack of stakeholder consultation led to lack of consensus eg in the Coastal road, which several citizens groups believe will not help the transportation and connectivity problems in Mumbai. He also said that last mile connectivity was crucial with feeder services and to suburban railway stations, failing which PWT passengers would be stranded and services would not take off.

Prof Krishna Rao stated that though Mumbai’s commuters wanted PWT, this had failed on grounds of financial viability. Cars needed to shift from roads to ships. A Public Private partnership would be a good financial model. The Government should own the infrastructure while private operators build, design and operate the infrastructure.

Mr. Mongia stated that if several operators were invited to participate in a fair and open tender, and given the freedom to operate and charge, market competition would ensure the best prices and services for commuters. He said that selection of the type of Vessel was the most important aspect for the safety and Viability of PWT. Cdr Sharma said that if the main landing docks were shifted from Gateway of India to Indira Docks PWT could be operative all around the year including the monsoons. Solving the last mile connectivity was not a problem. In the 90’s feeder buses were arranged from Apollo Bunder to Fort and Nariman point. He also suggested that an integrated ticketing system with the bus and rail system was the way forward.

The audience participated actively in the session. The Alibaug Residents association submitted a Memorandum urging the authorities to set up the PWT for trans harbor connectivity as soon as feasible.

Mr. Pinto concluded by thanking the panelists and especially the audience remarking that he was delighted at the quality of debate and participation even though it was almost at the end of a long day !

Session 6: Enabling Legislation For Development Of Mumbai’s Portlands Presentation by Mr. Kusumakar Kaushik

Mr. Kusumakar Kaushik, Advocate, Bombay Highcourt

Synopsis: Mr. Kaushik said legislation must aim for an optimal solution keeping in mind the best interests of Mumbai, while overcoming the constraints imposed by •

Major Port Trust (MPT) Act 1963, (which states Port Land cannot be used for Non Port uses)

•

Maharashtra Regional & Town Planning (MR&TP) Act 1966 (which states Local authorities have to approve all plans)

•

Maharashtra Land Revenue Code (MLRC) 1966 (which states all lands below high water mark belong to the State).

Mr. Kaushik shared pictures of derelict areas in the PortLands and said this was a situation in which both MbPT and the citizens of Mumbai were losers. He shared national and international case studies of legislation enabled redevelopments in areas like CIDCO, Battery Park New -York, Le Vieux Port -Montreal, and where legislation had failed such as Embarcadero in San Diego, California.

He recommended the creation of a separate company to handle redevelopment eg Mumbai PortLand Development Co (MPLDC) incorporated under the Indian Companies Act 2013, Such a company should be empowered as a Special Planning Authority under the MR&TP Act 1966 (like CIDCO) Mr. Kaushik further urged that Environmental laws must be complied with. A holistic spatial interaction between City and PortLands is essential and that Land use policy must be deliberated, laid down & monitored by a Citizen’s Consultative Committee.

Optimal Solution needed Essential to select best option keeping in mind  Best interests of Mumbai  Constraints of Major Port Trust (MPT) Act 1963 

Port Land cannot be used for Non Port uses

 Provisions of Maharashtra Regional & Town

Planning (MR&TP) Act 1966 

Local authorities have to approve all plans

 Maharashtra Land Revenue Code (MLRC) 1966  All lands below high water mark belong to the State 1

Recommendations  Create Mumbai PortLand Development Co

(MPLDC)  Incorporated under the Indian Companies Act 2013  Wholly owned by the Govt of India  To Re-develop Portlands with public use as main Objective  Empowered as a Special Planning Authority under the MR&TP Act 1966 (like CIDCO) 3

4

Recommendations  Transfer land not reqd for operational purposes to

MPLDC, under long term lease  Land leased to Public Sector Undertakings, where original purpose has lapsed, must revert to MbPT (eg Food Corp of India, IOC, Central Warehousing Corp, Railways etc)  Commence Re-development of vacant lands immediately

BEST PRACTICES  CIDCO (City & Industrial Development Corporation)  Incorporated under Co’s Act in 1970, 100% Govt owned  Empowered as an SPA under MR&TP Act, vested with powers of a local planning body  Developed Navi Mumbai & JNPT without any legal impediments  Navi Mumbai is a model city meeting UDPFI (Urban Development Plan Formation & Implementation) Guidelines  Has created a viable self financing model  Lesson for PortLands : local successful model 7

8

BEST PRACTICES  Battery Park City Authority – New York  Established in 1968 as a Public Benefit Corporation  To create, co-ordinate & maintain mixed use and park space in 92 acres where deteriorating piers once stood  Public- private Partnerships using competitive public bid process  In accordance with approved NY City Master Plan  Citizen centric & environment friendly design  Lesson for PortLands : Integration with city is key

BEST PRACTICES  Le Vieux Port in Montreal  As the Port of Montreal expanded it ceded the area now known as the Le Vieux Port to the Old Port Corporation  An arms length, self financing Crown corporation reporting to Parliament of Canada, set up in 1981  Enters into Partnerships for sponsoring events & spaces  Site is now a cultural gem & major tourist attraction with museums, restaurants & water related activities  Today Le Vieux Port welcomes 6 million visitors annually  Lesson for PortLands : CSR funding is available

9

Not so suitable  Embarcadero, San Diego, California  In 1997, a Joint Powers Authority (JPA) composed of City of San Diego, City Centre Devp Corp & Port of San Diego was set up  For multi-phased redevelopment project  However plans have stalled – rejected by the Coastal Commission as Parks have been replaced by shopping Plazas  Lesson for Mumbai : JPA’s not likely to work – vested interests could push towards another Mill Lands

Panel Discussion:

Chairperson of Panel: Prof. Kishu Daswani. Professor Government Law College Mumbai and Faculty Advisor of The Law Review Panelists: Mr. Sarosh Bana, Executive Editor, Business India Mr. Ajay Kumar, Advocate High Court Mr. Kusukumar Kaushik Advocate High Court Prof. Daswani commenced the discussion on legal aspects by asking what was the way to re-develop the Portlands which was divided into many units - some of which are in private hands and rest are with government agencies.

Mr. Kumar commented that the redevelopment mechanism selected should make sure that current stakeholders are fairly treated as per due process of law (as was the case in Navi Mumbai) He said a mechanism would need to be found which would free the land for re-development while at the same time would encourage current users to leave peacefully.

Mr. Bana commented that we must always look at the city development as a whole . The mechanism of relocation has to be established even though it is a difficult task. Its only if we create a Win-win for all, will the project succeed.

Mr Kaushik emphasized that accountability parameters must be made clear in the legislation for the redevelopment of PortLands. Many successful Public – Private models existed and while ownership of land could and should remain with the government, management could be by private entrepreneurs.

Prof Daswani asked the panel regarding their views on amendments to the Major Port Act. The consensus was that this was possible and desirable, especially as several major Indian Ports were undergoing re-development.

With respect to planning guidelines, the panel was united in agreeing that a Special Planning Authority was an essential way forward to take care of different aspects like infrastructure and transportation.

In Conclusion Prof Daswani captured the mood of panelists and audience by saying : “Redevelopment helps the city and legislation should help enable this ”

Arabian Sea New Public Promenades Mumbai is uniquely fortunate to be an island city. Yet Mumbaikars have very few public promenades, where we can enjoy the sea.

The Port Lands re-development offers us a unique possibility to create several new public promenades that will give us all space to breathe, relax and dream.

New Public Promenades 62

These public promenades may not necessarily be long contiguous stretches but can and should become part of a larger network of pedestrian and bicycling trails. These promenades must be provided with adequate east west connectivity and linked to passenger water terminals.

Desired Connection from Acharya Donde Marg to Messent Road

East West Connectivity The connectivity of the Eastern Port Lands from the rest of the city is comparatively weak due to the presence of high walls and the suburban harbour rail line.

It is critical that the MCGM 2014-2034 Master Development Plan incorporates a series of east west connecting roads, walkways, cycle tracks & parks that can integrate the Port Lands seamlessly with the central and western part of South Mumbai.

APLI Mumbai’s vision plan has proposed some suggestions on desired east west connectivity in the adjacent map.

Water Transport

10 Minutes Walking Area From Harbour Line Station

Mumbai is a city that lends itself perfectly to water transport.

We propose constructing Passenger Water Transport (PWT) Terminals along the entire eastern waterfront.

Of these PWT stops a few should act as major trans-harbour or coastal ferry terminals, providing connectivity to Navi Mumbai, JNPT, Uran, Alibagh, Goa, etc.

Vision for Port Lands Neighbourhoods We believe that the neighbourhoods of the Port Lands can add to the “Cultural Capital” as well as “Social Capital” of the entire Mumbai Region. These are the last remaining spaces that Mumbaikars can claim to create a more liveable city.

We have identified the historical, cultural and ecological characteristics of 12 of these neighbourhoods and applied people-oriented urban planning principles to create distinct and aesthetic spaces with great utility for our city.

We believe the New Nadkarni Park should be redeveloped as a mixed use residential area with the primary aim of rehabilitating Project Affected Persons.

We envisage a rich and vibrant tourist & cultural district in the historical Sewri Fort area and an ecopark featuring a flamingo sanctuary and a mangrove conservation site at the edge of the Sewri mudflats.

The area in Haji Bunder & Hay Bunder offers a unique possibility to create education and sports facilities that can provide the children of Mumbai some space to learn and excel. This area should become the hub of a new Port Lands university and innovation hub for Mumbai, focusing on creating a next generation economy.

Cotton Green is proposed for the Global BRICS HQ. At Lakdi Bunder we envisage a much needed vocational training hub.

We believe that Darukhana should be transformed from a toxic ship breaking yard into a vibrant water sports facility.

Ferry Wharf and Bhaucha Dhakka should be repaired and renovated as a modern fishing jetty along with a coastal ferry passenger terminal.

The heritage Princes Dock and Victoria Dock should be revived and converted into a ship repair facility and a marina respectively. Indira Dock should be a Passenger Water Terminal also.

Elphinstone Estate should become the city’s new innovation cluster and should feature incubation spaces for Mumbai’s new generation entrepreneurs.

The disastrous OCT Jetty should be re-oriented for productive cargo operations.

Sassoon Dock Seafood Processing Centre

Sassoon Docks need to be repaired and renovated to provide hygienic and state of the art facilities for sea food auctions, processing and export. Appropriate waste management solutions must also be implemented.

SEWRI : Flamingo Park and Cultural Corridor Sewri has attracted worldwide attention as the nesting ground for flamingos. It is a unique eco-system and also home to many heritage architectural sites. However, access to these unique destinations are through neglected and derelict areas with oil depots, truck parking zones and unorganised barge repair units.

The APLI Citizen’s Mumbai Initiative recommends that the entire Sewri area within the Port Lands, is re-imagined as a tourism & eco-zone, with dedicated areas for a flamingo bird sanctuary, mangrove parks, and heritage tourism destination sites, interspersed with areas for artists and cultural activities.

The Sewri Eco Park should capitalize on the natural assets of mangroves and flamingo seasonal bird sanctuary. We propose a massive ecorejuvenation program to rehabilitate the ecosystems that have been damaged by pollution.

Below is a summary of some cultural & nature assets we have identified as key destinations in the Sewri Port Lands region: •• Sewri Fort archaeological site •• Sewri Dargah •• Flamingo & migratory bird sanctuary •• Mangrove ecological area

The Sewri cultural district should reflect the region’s distinctive environment and heritage. Imagine global and local music , theatre & performing arts events; artists’ studios and galleries; public plaza’s street fairs and festivals; open museums ; arts spaces, studio and arts institutions.

•• Sewri christain cemetry & 11 headed monolith •• Heritage walks •• Day-Night eateries •• Mumbai Haat

NEW NADKARNI PARK: Affordable Housing For Project Affected Persons The Mumbai Port Trust was a labour intensive industry in the early 20th century and had a peak strength of over 20,000 workers. With declining port activities a ban was placed on all new recruitment as a result of which staff strength has now fallen to 7,500 personnel.

To accommodate their workers, the Mumbai Port Trust built large numbers of quarters and workers amenities in Sewri and Wadala. These facilities which also includes a large hospital, do not make optimum use of land and should be re-developed in keeping with the re-imagined Port Lands.

We believe this area offers a great opportunity to showcase prototypes of best in class affordable housing in terms of both architecture and urbanism. We envisage vibrant mixed-use housing communities which adhere to principles of universal design, compact green design development, Transit Oriented Development (TOD) and People Oriented Development (POD) We propose that civic amenities and spaces are re-developed in this area to catalyse the rejuvenation of the area. We propose programs that aim at de-concentration of poverty by creating neighbourhood counselling centres with access to vocational training services. We propose mixed income housing, in-fill development, inclusionary housing and affordable rental housing programmes.

70

We also envisage high quality public and community spaces for community development and interaction such as community centres to encourage collaborative entrepreneurship, community development programs and to enable community led action and constant exchange between residents.

We imagine a neighbourhood where the community helps with running the day-care centres, libraries and community kitchens as well as community led programs to enables classes and learning opportunities for art, literature, sports like dance classes or math classes.

The APLI Mumbai citizen’s initiative reccomends the following : •• Re-develop this area to focus on housing along with related civic amenities.

•• Designate this area to rehabilitate Project Affected Persons – especially from Indiranagar, with an emphasis on affordable yet integrated housing.

COTTON GREEN: Global BRICS Headquarters, Trade & Innovation Hub Cotton Green: BRICS Headquarters as the axis of Trade and Innovation Hub. The Cotton Green area is a legacy of the early industrial era of Mumbai, which in its heyday rivalled Manchester. The cotton depots here supported over 85 textile mills and the area hosts many heritage structures including the beautiful Cotton Green Exchange building.

As in the neighbouring areas of Haji Bunder and Hay Bunder the leased industrial and warehouse plots in Cotton Green are now largely abandoned. Many original Lease holders have sold their interest in the expired lease-hold plots and new “benami” investors are litigating against the Mumbai Port Trust in the hope of a real estate bonanza.

We believe this is the perfect space to revive Mumbai’s glorious mercantile heritage. Mumbai is the ideal city to host the BRICS Headquarters.

As the first multilateral institution located in India the BRICS HQ will bring benefits of expertise, talent, funding, and standards. With this will come an engagement with international leaders, the practice of economic diplomacy and a better understanding of multilateral negotiation. It will generate tourism, jobs and additional revenue: having the United Nations headquartered in New York City brings the city additional revenue of over $1 billion a year spent by the 1 million visitors who annually visit the UN alone.

72

Mumbai has all the necessary criteria to host the BRICS headquarters.

Mumbai scores over other BRICS cities. It has international connectivity, and logistically, shares overlapping cross-borders working hours The city is within an eight-hour flights radius of all the other BRICS countries except Brazil.

Mumbai is home to the largest number of corporate headquarters in India, and has two major ports. It hosts India’s top legal, accounting and consulting firms. The financial eco-system is the most sophisticated in BRICS. The Reserve Bank of India is the most respected and trusted central bank among those in the BRICS nations. The Bombay Stock Exchange is the oldest in Asia; its 5,000 listed companies have a joint market capitalization of over $1.5 trillion.

India’s top advertising and media companies are in Mumbai, as is Bollywood. Public transport overall is among the country’s best, the Tata companies provide 24-hour electricity and it is still one of the safest cities for women – a necessary ingredient of multilateral talent.

Mumbai also faces issues pertinent to developing countries: unruly urbanisation, over-population, poverty and security challenges, making it the perfect laboratory for the BRICS project.

A beautiful physical location is available for the headquarters- the Cotton Green Exchange is in the heart of the PortLands adjacent to the proposed PortLands University.

With the BRICS HQ as its nucleus we believe this neighbourhood has the potential to become a thriving innovation and trade hub attracting talent from all the BRICS nations and facilitating economic, cultural and technological exchanges.

HAY BUNDER: Portlands University The Haji Bunder and Hay Bunder areas are a legacy of the early 20th century industrial era of central Mumbai.

The cotton depots supported 85 textile mills, as the cotton trading centre of Mumbai rivalled Manchester. The plots in Hay Bunder and Fosbery Road were leased to major consumer goods manufacturing industries of the time. Hindustan Lever and Tata Oil Mills set up soap factories here and Britannia still has a biscuit factory in the area. Oil depots and fuel depots sprung up during World War II and also a Bedford Truck Assembly plant. Hundreds of warehouses were built to support the Industries in the area.

With the closure of the Textile mills from 1971 and the migration of all labour intensive industries out of Mumbai into the hinterland, these leased industrial and warehouse plots have become derelict and the area resembles a ghost town. The leases have long expired, but lease holders in anticipation of a real estate windfall are litigating against the Mumbai Port Trust in courts.

•• The APLI Mumbai citizen’s initiative recommends that •• This neighbourhood of over 4 square kilometres is re-developed with a primary focus on Education & Sports where young Mumbaikars can exercise both their body and mind.

•• A new Portlands Mumbai University should be set up, so that young Mumbaikars and Maharashtrians no longer need to leave the city and the state for higher education elsewhere.

•• The prestigious Maharashtra National Law University, Mumbai which presently has no campus, should be provided space here, as should the institutions like AIIMS. The New Port Lands University should focus on new age disciplines and next generation professions and serve as an education hub for multi-disciplinary colleges.

The area should be : •• Entirely wifi area with high speed broadband connectivity •• Have an open to all digital public library with a capacity of 1,000 students at a time.

•• Have numerous reading rooms & student study areas

HAJI BUNDER : Sports City A sports district should be set up in this neighbourhood with facilities that are interspersed between the educational institutions. We must incorporate at least one large capacity multi use stadium which can be used for athletics, football and hockey.

The area should also offer dedicated and state of the art sporting facilities for sports in which young Indians are excelling such as : •• Shooting, & archery •• Kabaddi, kho-kho, & malakhamb •• Weight lifting, wrestling, & boxing,

The entire area must focus on human-scale architecture which is : •• Pedestrian and bicycle friendly •• Have excellent East / West & North / South transport connectivity •• Be integrated with the densely populated residential and commercial areas of Sewri, Lalbaug, Bhendi Bazar, Mumba Devi, Mazgaon and Byculla •• To the extent possible have no or very low vehicle density •• Be built with green & eco-friendly materials and use renewable sources of energy to the maximum extent possible

•• Basket ball, hand ball & volley ball •• Athletics •• Tennis, badminton, squash, and table tennis •• Gymnastics, fencing, judo, karate & other martial arts •• Swimming An open - museum honoring and educating our community about India’s historical sports and great sportsmen should be set up interspersed with open areas for fitness, yoga, meditation, laughing clubs etc.

LAKDI BUNDER : Vocational Training Hub, Seamanship training and Sea Cadets Corps

78

The waterfront between Haji Bunder and Malet Bunder was the main stay of the Mumbai Port in the 19th century until the Princes and Victoria Docks were built with impounded draught of 6-7 metres. The water front also had Shaparia Dock which continued shipbuilding until about 1964.

high quality craftsmanship and trades are taught. This neighbourhood should also incorporate Centres for creative expression and design.

In addition to skills, design and aesthetics must also become an intrinsic part of the educational experience.

With disuse the Sewri mud flats encroached along these bunders and rendered them virtually unusable. The 2 to 3 metres draught of these wharves were then suitable only for dhows and country craft. In 2008 with the import of coal becoming a necessity for power stations on the west coast, a scheme commenced for unloading coal from 1000 dwt barges with the ocean going ships discharging in the stream in harbour or in the outer anchorage. This was a disastrous decision resulting in a carpet of coal due to spillage over a large area of Port Lands in addition to dust pollution from multiple primitive handling and emission of dioxin from spontaneous combustion of coal in the stackyards awaiting evacuation by rail. At its peak the stacked storage of coal exceeded 2 lakh tons.

In response to a PIL by APLI Mumbai, MbPT committed to stop coal handling in the Portlands which has been a major victory for the city of Mumbai and its citizens.

Traditional seafaring & ship building skills should also be taught keeping in mind that these are traditional skills of the city and that they continue to have great job creation potential.This district will produce skilled workforce to support Mumbai as a hub for business, finance, culture & entertainment. The public plazas should also have art installations that offer tribute to various vocations of India.

As the various bunders named Reti Bunder, Tank Bunder, Coal Bunder and Lakdi Bunder are now defunct, it is proposed that they be utilised as a vocational training neighbourhood, where

•• Theatres & workshops for music & dance.

•• The new facilities could include the following: •• Vocational training centres, •• ITIs, polytechnic, crafts centre •• Seafarers centre, ratings training, practical seamanship training •• Artists hub & galleries •• NCC Naval Wing, Sea Cadet Corps, scouting and adventure training should have a home in this space

DARUKHANA: Water Sports Centre and Maritime Trade Museum Darukhana is a local ship breaking industry in the heart of south Mumbai.

The ship breaking industry is known for hazards both to the environment and the workers. It requires close regulation to prevent pollution from toxic wastes and oil sludge.

Shipbreaking is unsuitable as a means of employment in a city. This area represents a great opportunity to use the valuable water front for the recreation and wellness of citizens.

APLI Mumbai initiative strongly recommends cessation of ship breaking activities at Darukhana The priority will be to remove the highly toxic and environmentally hazardous waste matter leached into the ground.

The cessation of ship breaking will also discourage local traders from making this prime waterfront as dumping ground for unwanted scrap material even from the suburbs of Mumbai The natural slope and compacted seabed at Darukhana lends itself to water sports at varying tide levels.The development of the waterfront will create a water sports centre which can encompass:

Museum of the Maritime History of the Indian Ocean : It is time for India to recapture its own maritime history which is what led to the Ocean being named after our civilisation. We should share with the world that trade and globalisation was not a western construct, but something that thrived in our part of the world for millennia before Columbus’ maiden voyage.

The Mumbai PortLands would be a perfect home for a Museum of Maritime History. Such an institution would facilitate co-operation among the littoral states of the Indian Ocean, all of whose histories were fundamentally shaped by the trade patterns of the region. The museum would contain exhibits all the way from the Levant and the Middle East through the Spice Islands all the way through to the eastern Rim of the South China Sea. The museum could potentially do a Bilbao for Mumbai, where it alone becomes the big attraction in the new zone !

•• Sailing •• Rowing •• Kayaking •• Wind surfing •• Water scooters •• Water skiing

80

As the activities flourish the expanded area can support: •• Promenades & recreation facilities like day - night restaurants •• Walking paths & parks •• Affordable & speciality health centres

FERRY WHARF / BHAUCHA DHAKKA : Major Coastal Ferry Station and Fisherman’s Wharf Mumbaikars had the benefit of using coastal water transport from the Bhaucha Dhakka - Ferry Wharf for 60 years until the transport system turned away from the water front. Gradually even ferries to Alibaug, Dharamtar and further afield declined and finally stopped.

At present the Ferry Wharf at Bhaucha Dhakka provides ferries to Mora and Elephanta island at nominal fares. The northern half of Ferry Wharf is a fishing boat jetty. However the fishing boats have no back up infrastructure and this is merely a transit jetty.

82

APLI Mumbai citizen’s initiative Reccomends that the Bhaucha Dhakka- Ferry Wharf is immediately upgraded as follows: •• Passenger ferry terminal be upgraded to modern standards with seating, toilet and passenger friendly amenities to become a major transit point for coastal & commuter ferries, with seamless linkages to rail, metro rail and Eastern Express Freeway.

•• Fishing Wharf be upgraded : To provide fish processing facilities, logistics, cold storage depots and fish marketing support to enable this asset to be exploited for the benefit of fisher folk and the city.

The embarkation facilities are extremely primitive and consist of unprotected steps to the water line, very limited berths so that passengers have to squeeze through a turn stile and cross gunwales of boats to reach their ferry. There is little protection from the elements and the safety precautions are non-existent.

•• Repair and strengthen the marine structure which is crumbling.

Modern marine structural concrete techniques and design will be necessary to rehabilitate the structure.

The Ferry Wharf should function as a major coastal ferry station and provide berthing facilities to high speed modern hover crafts and similar vessels. The fishing wharf should be upgraded and this should become the nodal hub for training MSME’s in seafood and marine matters.

•• Provide an eco-system of incubation, finance and marketing facilities to assist such entrepreneurs.

•• Widen the curriculum of the Marine training academies to provide training to medium, small and micro entrepreneurs in the Marine and seafood business.

•• If feasible create space for sea food restaurants that showcase Mumbai’s rich seafood cuisine and create a llively destination for Mumbaikars.

PRINCES DOCK: Coastal Vessel Berthing And Ship Repairs Princes Dock was built in 1888 as the premier dock of the Port trust with an impounded draught of upto 7m. After World War II there was a sea change in the method of construction of ships when riveting the hull was replaced by welding. This allowed the sizes of ships to be increased dramatically. The most often used cargo vessels are the PANAMAX vessels of 84000 dwt. This size of vessel is too large to be accomodated in a draught of 7 m and therefore Princes Dock was no longer useful for Cargo vessels.

In the 1960s the discovery of oil in Bombay High gave a new lease of life to Princes Dock which became the home of over 200 Offshore Supply vessels, coastal vessels, oceangoing tugs, coast guard craft and many special purpose vessels like cranes and harbour craft. The Merewether Dry Dock (named in memory of the first Chief Engineer of the Mumbai Port trust) within Princes Dock has performed yeoman service for the coastal fleet. It is still the only viable commercial Dry dock in Maharashtra.

The decision to fill the Princes Dock to create a stackyard for the disastrous Offshore Container Terminal has been a monumental error of judgment considering that :

The MbPT has more than 400 ha of land unutilised, within 1 km of Princes Dock which it could have used rather than destroy a heritage structure which has great commercial viability.

This is valuable infrastructure which is ideally suited to be a Modern berthing & ship repairing facility, in the process providing a valuable service to marine and coastal vessels while creating skilled jobs and apprentice opportunities APLI Mumbai Citizen’s initiative recommends: •• Reopening of the Princes Dock to create modern berths for the Coastal fleet consisting of Offshore Supply vessels, Anchor handling tugs, offshore platform vessels, Coast guard vessels and coastal cargo vessels in addition to harbour craft.

•• The Merewether Dry Dock should revert to its ship repairing role.

The utility of the Princes Dock and Merewether Dry Dock will more than justify the cost of removing the silt and debris dumped loosely into the dock.

The decision to close the Princes Dock and the Merewether Dry Dock has been a severe set back to the coastal fleet

VICTORIA DOCK: Marina And Tourist Hub Victoria Dock was built in 1890 and was the premier dock for receiving cargo vessels until the construction of Alexandra Dock (now Indira Dock) in 1914. With its limited draught of 7m the dock is not useful for modern cargo vessels.

As part of the diastrous OCT project , the decision was made to fill these docks with sand to create a stackyard for the Containers. This decision is deeply flawed as: •• This is a Heritage dock and should be preserved.

•• This is valuable infrastructure which is ideally suited to be a Marina and which can be swiftly converted at a low cost (which the Mumbai Port Trust itself has stated is a priority project).

APLI Mumbai citizen’s initiative urges the Mumbai Port Trust to convert the Victoria Dock into a modern marina for the thousands of boats owned by sailing enthusiasts and the growing sea loving fraternity in Mumbai.

A Marina will meet the growing need for berthing of numerous sailing vessels, motor boats, yachts and recreational craft now berthed off the Gateway of India in the fair weather.

86

It will also provide safe berthing for the Monsoon period (1 Jun till 15 Sep) when currently these vessels have no shelter or berth. Boat enthusiasts have to find totally unsatisfactory temporary arrangements at small boat yards in Mora, Karanja, Mahul and inshore yards as far as Thane and Panvel to find any safe parking spots.

Sailing is a sport in which India participates and has fared well in the Asian Games, CWG and the Olympics. Mumbai harbour is recognised as an excellent training ground for our young budding sailors who are aspiring to bring laurels to the country. The draught of 5 metres which can be provided in Victoria Dock by desilting the basin will be more than adequate for yachts in Mumbai.

In addition Victoria Dock can provide basic amenities to boats such as fuelling, water supply, reception of sewage, boat repairs, sailmakers services, rigging services and ship chandlers services the absence of which are sorely felt by the marine community. This can be a visually appealing part of the Port Lands re-development undertaken swiftly and at low cost. It can also provide a valuable and perennial source of revenue to Port authorities, and provide employment opportunities to sailing instructors, tindalls, ship repair and maintenance crew etc.

ELPHINSTONE ESTATE: Incubation Hub For Entrepreneurs Elphinstone Estate occupies a prime zone adjacent to the business hub of the city, home to the entrepreneurial talent in trade and commerce. The area has been allowed to degenerate over the years due to indecision on its future, though several committees of the Government of Maharashtra and the Planning commission have discussed the future utilisation of Elphinstone Estate for the benefit of the city.

The time is ripe to restore the primacy of Mumbai as the country’s commercial capital. This is the age of Start ups and Angel investors.

The age of internet and globalisation. Enterprises without geographical boundaries are seeking spaces and labs to develop business models based on IoT (Internet of Things) and KNoT (Konnected Network of Things).

like finance, advertising, media, film making, design, gems & jewellery, architecture and urban planning, information technology and clean technology among others.

APLI Mumbai initiative urges the Port Trust to facilitate the following: •• Incubation centre : For attracting the brightest and best young entrepreneurial talent and encouraging start ups with capital access and support •• Venture Capital centre: For mentoring and hand holding new businesses and enabling them to grow into world class global enterprises •• Entrepreneurship development Institute: To help institutionalise and provide entrepreneurial education.

The Mumbai Port Trust can give the city the opportunity to explore, incubate, nurture, and foster new types of businesses. We propose that this area be developed as an innovation cluster where New Commerce replaces Old Commerce. We propose investment into an ecosystem and infrastructure facilities like co-working spaces and incubation facilities for entrepreneurs in new age Industries where Mumbai enjoys a competitive advantage and has inherent skills

INDIRA DOCK : International Cruise Terminal, Passenger Water Terminal Hub and Strategic Dry Dock Indira Dock was constructed in 1914 and has been the main stay of Mumbai Port throughout the 20th century.

The dock was the saviour during the food crisis in late 1960’s when large quantities were imported in bulk carriers of upto 65000 tons unloaded, bagged and despatched to states experiencing severe grain shortages. The Dock was also a container terminal in the late 1990’s until the growth of JNPT .

The limitation of Indira Dock is the lock gate for impounding water to retain the water depth in the dock at 9m. The width of the lock gate of 28m is now a serious limitation because modern ocean going vessels are too large to enter the dock.

90

The AECOM report commissioned by the Government of India in Jan 2016 has clearly advised that Indira Dock is no longer useful for cargo operations. The AECOM report has advised that Steel coils (the main stay of Indira Dock in recent years) should be unloaded at the outer wall and the OCT Jetty.

APLI Mumbai suggests that Indira Dock should be converted into an International Cruise Terminal and Passenger Water Terminal in the northern part. In the southern part Hughes Dock should be retained as a strategic dry dock facility.

Indira Dock will be an ideal location for a Passenger Water Terminal hub providing passenger ferries facilities for all weather operations, 12 months in the year.

SASSOON DOCK : Sea Food Processing And Marketing Centre, Koli Cuisine Sassoon Dock was built in 1875 as a fishing harbour and was the first enclosed dock constructed by the Mumbai Port trust.

There is a thriving eco-system of Koli fishermen, auctioneers, wholesaleers, retail fisher women, cleaning, peeling and fishing helpers and tiny solo-entrepreneurs who work here Reportedly fish in excess of Rs 3 crores is traded in Sassoon Docks every day.

APLI Mumbai Citizen’s Initiative hope that this money will be spent on a complete make over which will re-establish Sassoon Dock as a vibrant fishing harbour with the following facilities : •• Catch Unloading cranes and unloaders at main wharves •• Mechanical Transporters for fish catch between wharves and warehouses and processing sheds.

•• Auction sheds and space for wholesale/ retail trade of fish

In 1961 an effort was initiated to make Sassoon Dock an export fish processing centre. Infrastructure facilities including an ice factory and cold storage facilities were added. Regrettably, these facilities, sheds and warehouses are crumbling and in a dangerously dilapidated condition.

There is filth and garbage everywhere. Fish processing is done on the open ground on the roadsides. Offal is dumped in the sea by export processing units with scant regard to environment or pollution control norms. There is no shelter from the rain for those who work at the docks nor any basic toilet facilities.

•• Cold storage capacity adequate for receiving full daily catch •• Modern reception and Bio waste processing facilty for disposal of offal cum production of energy •• Modern hygienic amenities for fish handlers.

•• Toilets and wash rooms adequate to accommodate all workers in each zone of the Docks •• First-aid facilities and emergency medical aid •• Creches/ day care centres for children of women workers/ fisher women Once refursbished Sassoon dock would be an ideal location for seafood restaurants and Koli cuisine.

Annexure 2: Principles of Humane Design “First life, then spaces, then buildings - the other way round never works” - Jahn Gehl The following chapter highlights the principles of Urban Planning that the Mumbai Port Lands must adopt to ensure a humane inclusive development proposed by Studio POD as a part of the APLI team.

Integrated Mobility: Mumbai’s Port Lands are located near major public transport links including the Suburban Harbour Line, the Wadala – Chembur Monorail, and the proposed Metro corridors from Wadala to Thane and Colaba to SEEPZ. The Port Lands also lend themselves seamlessly to Passenger Water Transport. All Port Lands neighbourhoods are within a 10 min walking distance from a major public transport hub and are designed for Integrated mobility.

Human Scale Development Our proposal for the Port Lands ensures a human friendly environment for residents and visitors. The Vision Plan is humane in scale and allows equitable space for pedestrians, bicycles, public transit and private vehicles.

Employability & Entrepreneurship : Opening up Mumbai’s Port Lands provides a vast opportunity to boost the local economy. We need to replace the factories and warehouses of yester years with Innovation clusters and Incubation spaces. This vision plan lays out a road map to do so.

Social Infrastructure: Mumbai’s Port Lands will be proposed as a socially vibrant space not only for the residents but also for the visitors. An emphasis has been placed on providing Public amenities and open areas for recreation and relaxation for all ages.

Smart Infrastructure : Smart infrastructure needs to be made available for Wireless and Broadband telecom connectivity, Internet and Entertainment, Integrated transit modes, Clean energy, Water Supply, Sewage & Waste management, and Recycling.

Sustainable Living: The proposed re-development of Mumbai’s Port Lands encourages the users to make the right choices in terms of commuting, food choices, waste management and water and electricity usage.

Healthy City: The proposed redevelopment of Port Lands should aim to provide the city with much needed open spaces for a healthy and fit living environment. Access to the waterfront for relaxation and stress free lifestyle is also at the core of the proposed development.

Nature and Natural Resources : The proposed Port Lands re-development offers a unique opportunity to work with nature and give Mumbaikars the chance to connect with nature, enjoy the biodiversity of our city, and boost eco-tourism.
