Master plan for mumbai port trust : Mumbai is the financial, commercial and entertainment capital of India. It is amongst world’s top centers for commerce in terms of global financial flows. Con sidering its role in the global and national economy and the resultant demand for built space, the underutilized port lands offer a tremendous opportunity to fulfill this and give impetus to the economy of the city and at the same time provide the much needed social and recreational amenities to the city. The Master Plan for the Mumbai Port Complex (MPC) sets out to meet these twin objectives, it aims to re-purpose/utilize the underutilized lands and integrate them with the surrounding city.

image of MPC area
The base map for the Master Plan was prepared by aligning total station survey, satellite image and unit maps prepared by MbPT which were geo referenced. Based on the base map prepared, about 499.76 ha of land have been Identified for redevelopment which is land not under active port operations and owned by MbPT. However, for shaping the Master Plan purpose area under reclamation has been included and some of the land has been regularized Therefore, after all alterations and adjust ments, the final project boundary is derived with an area of about 534.75 Ha.




The MPC development is a large scale development which also includes development of financial districts. Thus comparison with similar area in Mumbai like Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC) and Nariman Point gives an important insight into the scale of MPC redevel opment project. The area of proposed Mumbai Port Complex is more than 3 times that of BKC and about six times larger than the area of Nariman Point. Hence, MPC should have a mixed use development rather than having single use development.

The existing urban fabric and urban form of MbPT area is very unorganized and randomly dispersed for any urban activities. It re quires an urban development model which brings more land into public domain for urban use instead of keeping it dispersed in the private domain as margins and private spaces, which remains fragmented and under-utilized.
Some of the existing streets in MPC area has good accessibility and connectivity with the surrounding area. Therefore, while planning for the street network for MPC, it is preferable to retain these major existing street ROWs and integrate them in the new network. Looking at the development scale of MPC, area under streets should be increased and street densification should take into consider ation various design features such as continuous street grid, adding multiple streets, creating walkable blocks etc.

Concept Masterplan
Although MbPT is the owner of the entire land in MPC, portions of it are still leased out and the leases will take some time to complete before the land fully vests with MbPT. Currently about 29 % is under lease and these are expected to last till about 2030. It is also pos sible the some of these might get into litigations and release of land may take longer. The design/planning takes this into account and the proposed develop ments are phased accordingly. Figures 4.2 to 4.6 show the phased manner of development. This is further discussed in Chapter 06 – Implementation Strategy. Demand for BUA space in Mumbai over time Current consumption of gross FSI in Mumbai is about 2 to 2.3, based on studies of 25 ha of areas in certain pockets – Ballard Estate, Nariman Point, Parsi Colony, Bandra Kurla Complex etc. Taking a cue from this and the cur rent studies for demand for built space going forward with increasing role of Mumbai as a global financial and services hub, the Master Plan considers a gross FSI build out for 3. However this cannot be achieved in the immediate and will take a long time to realize. The build out is phased out – the Master Plan is pre pared for two FSI scenarios – FSI 1.33 and 3. While the physical development may happen gradually and pick up going forward, the trunk infrastructure capacities are planned for FSI 3.
The Concept Master Plan envisioned here is a long term vision for the area, it will be realized over a pe riod of 20 to 30 years. This is because of two major factors :

Walkable Block Sizes : Walkability is an aspect which is often neglected while planning of cities as most of the focus is on vehicular movement. Smaller block sizes have a major impact on the walkability in any urban area. Based on various studies, blocks with average perimeter of 400m are considered walkable blocks. The study of various areas of Mumbai such as Lower Parel and BKC reveals block areas as large as 1140 meters. However, in many cities across the world, such as San Francisco and Barcelona the average perimeter of blocks are in the range of 400-450









Street Design : Too often our streets are congested because they are unorganized. Street hierarchy plays a vital role in effective and efficient mobility. The hierarchy is not based on the ROW width, but is prepared based on the function, connectivity and character of the streets. In MPC, the street hierarchy is categorized as follows :
4. Local Street : These are streets carrying local, slow moving traffic, serving local neighbourhoods. Typically they have many entrances, or small shop fronts opening directly on it. These streets are much more than conduits for vehicles. They have many daily human activities people walking, meeting, roadside sitting talking, children playing, local parking etc. They may range from 9m to 18m in ROW width, gener ally incorporating maximum two vehicular lanes.
Major Arterial - Proposed section - Grand Avenue 70 m Wide Road 30 m Wide Street 25 m Wide Street 18 m Wide Street
Local Streets - Section through local street with 18m wide street
3. Major Street : These streets are generally shorter and smaller than minor arterials. However, these streets may be some of the most important streets with local retail shops, commercial frontages and vendor activities. Typically they connect local areas, gamtals etc with arterial streets at one or both ends. ROW width for major streets generally range from 12m to 30m.
Major Streets - Section through major street with 25m wide ROW
2. Minor Arterial : These streets generally run for shorter length than major arterials and connect different locales within the same area. They typically connect with major arterial at one or both ends. Minor Arterials are generally flanked by medium scale commercial complexes or higher density mixed use buildings with commercial uses at street level. Typical ROW of Minor Arterial range from 18m to 30m. How ever ROW width is not the only binding criteria. For example, in some cases a Minor Arterial may be wider than some Major Arterials, but, it may still be of less importance due to its placement in the network, urban character etc.
1. Major Arterial : These are some of the most important roads within a city’s network. Typically they run for longer distances, connecting different parts and different areas of the city, and connecting the city’s network with intercity network of highways or expressways. Typically roads with ROW widths ranging from 24m to 80m are identified as major arterials. They accommodate faster moving traffic, and public transport routes. They are typically flanked by large and mid scale commercial or mixed use buildings. The activities on these streets also generate significant pedestrian movement, on-street parking demand and informal activities such as vending, gathering, displays etc. In MPC, streets such as Grand Avenue and the arterial connecting LM Nadkarni Marg – Sewri Road and a few others are identified as major arterials within MPC.
Minor Arterial - Section through minor arterial with 30m wide ROW








Mobility Network in MPC: For any development as large as the scale of MPC, an efficient mobility network is a non-negotiable aspect for the proposed develop ment to sustain and perform. An integrated mobility network shall act as a backbone of the proposed development in MPC. Alterna tives of mobility such as metro, water taxis, bus, bicycle and a network of pedestrian friendly streets are hence proposed to effectively cater to the proposed development. Also, seamless integration with existing and proposed transportation projects in surrounding areas such as the existing Monorail, existing Harbour line network, proposed CST Panvel Fast Train network shall also be the key as pect of the mobility network of MPC.

Landscape :
Looking at the scarcity of green spaces in Mumbai city, MbPT Master Plan proposes to provide with about 23% of land as a public green space (including promenade). This shall not only serve the foreseen development within MbPT but shall also provide with much needed greens and parks for the people of Mumbai city. Broadly these are categorized into Central Park, Water front Greens and Community Greens. Proposed mobility network in MPC

Proposed Zones in MPC
Diverse Districts & Landuse: In order to grow and prosper, any city needs sufficient supply of land and built spaces to provide basic needs such as places for living, working, social amenities such as education and health care facilities, infrastructure facilities and many such others facilities. This Concept Master Plan for MPC is envisioned to provide livable and vibrant environment to the future population and to become an eco nomic hub and tourist centre which will create an unique identity for the Mumbai City. Zoning is one of the important planning tools to manage growth, organize land uses and regulate urban form within the urban area. By regulating land uses it helps to segregate incompatible uses, increase livability and create desirable character for different areas of the city. Zoning combined with development regulations determines the supply of developable land and built space in various zones. Therefore, it is important to understand the demand for development and other factors to organize land use and densities. Draft Concept Master Plan shall be governed by broad er zoning concepts which will be deciding the permissible building uses along the various zones. Zoning shall help in deriving the character of different areas as described in the this section.
Waterfront Recreational Zone Residential Mix - 2 Zone Tourist & Cultural Zone Central Recreational Zone Residential Mix - 3 Zone Transportation Zone
Grand Boulevard Zone Central Financial Zone Health Care Zone Service & Incubator Zone Business Mix - 1 Zone Hospitallity Mix Zone



Built Form As discussed in Chapter 2 In order to ensure a cohesive built form for MPC a form based approach is suggested. Form based approach defines zones based on the desired urban form and character and defines permissible building envelopes and urban design regula tions to create coherent street environment and rich urban experience. The Mumbai Port Complex master Plan adopts this form based approach to ensure the desirable urban form and rich, vibrant, and walkable environment. This approach requires identification of permissible building envelope (i.e. the volume within which development is permissible) based on the desired / envisioned urban form. The illustrated permissible envelopes shown in Figure 5.170 envisions tallest volumes in the Central Finance Zone closest to the public transport stations. And it gradually steps down along the central park towards the waterfront. Also, the built-form in CGO Zone and Grand Boulevard Zone is envisioned to be comparatively taller than the immediate surrounding districts. The Waterfront Zone and the Tourism & Cultural Zones are envisioned as the low-rise volumes allowing the overall urban form to gradually taper down/ step down from central areas toward waterfront. The overall urban form of MPC is also carefully planned to accommodate phased development. First, to accommodate the gross permissible FSI of 1.33 which in later phase will be increased to 3.0.
Land MemorableParcel Skyline Setbacks Permissible building footprint Permissible building envelope






Form Based Regulations The built form for MPC shall have wide and connected arcades those are walkable. The built form along the important streets shall be built-to-line so as to achieve visually a coherent urban form and street character. To realize the above mentioned desirable urban form, various individual design components will have to be integrated together. They mainly comprise of the following: • Setback and margins • Permissible land area for built up • Building envelope and utility • Arcades • Built-to-line • Maximum permissible volume • SetbacksBasementandpermissible land area for built-up Arcades Built to line (4 Floors) Maximum permissible volume Permissible basement Envelope with building units Permissible building envelope Envelope with maximum permissible building volume SetbacksArcade and permissible land area for built-up
