KNOW IT BETTER 2 Environmental Status Report 2007-2008 A. BASIC INFORMATION The city of Thane is one of Maharashtra's major industrial town and the district headquarters. As per National Decennial Census 2001, the population of the city is 12, 61,517. Thane city is a fastest growing city and abutting to Mumbai. As the Mumbai has almost reaching to its carrying capacity of development, Thane is the next option which is already been looked up. The Thane city infrastructure and growth of planned city development has turned the face of Thane city remarkably from last decades. The geographical jurisdiction of the Thane city spreads over an area of 128.23 sq. km. The city is located at the mean sea level on the northern part of the Konkan region. The city is also known as 'Lake City' because of the 35 lakes encompassing an area of about 40 Ha. ANCIENT THANE Thane (pronounced Thaanai by the locals) is a district in northern Maharashtra state in western India. The name "Thane" is said to be derived from 'Sthan' or 'Sthanaka', the capital of the Shilahara kings of Konkan. Thane district adjoins the city of Mumbai. Thane creek not only provides a natural protection to the place but has also facilitated transport of big and small ships since ancient times. This has also acted as an impetus for the development of local and international trade since the pre-historic times. Thane city has a rich cultural heritage, mythological background, and has been home to many events of historical importance. The history of Thane city can be broadly categorized into 5 eras. Vedic period to 1300. : Comprising of Hindu or ancient period, Apparent, Shilhara and Bimba dynasties. 1300 1737: Muslim and Portuguese rule. 1737-1800: Maratha and Portuguese rule. 1800-1947: British Rule. 1947-till date: Independent India. The Shilharas ruled Thane from 810 to 1260. A place called 'Ghodbunder' was famous for horse trading, thus deriving its name from the word Ghoda i.e. horse and bunder meaning port. The Shilhara emperors were disciples of Lord Shiva, and the Kopineshwar Temple was built during their reign. During this period, due to the secular attitude and tolerance of Shilharas towards different religions, people from diverse communities including Parsis, Christians, Muslims and Jews settled down in Thane, creating a cosmopolitan city. At this time the Shilharas also divided the city into different sections and named them as 'padas'. These padas exist today, in the names of Naupada, Patlipada, Agripada etc. HISTORICAL BENCHMARK Thane derived its name from 'Sthan' or 'Shree Sthanaka' was a kingdom of Shilahars dynasty from 13th to 14th century subsequently it was ruled by Portuguese, Marathas and Muslims. In 1774 the British captured the city. 8 0 Thane Nagarpalika was established on 10th March 1863.

  • Transport in India Transport in the Republic of India Is an Important
    Transport in India Transport in the Republic of India is an important part of the nation's economy. Since theeconomic liberalisation of the 1990s, development of infrastructure within the country has progressed at a rapid pace, and today there is a wide variety of modes of transport by land, water and air. However, the relatively low GDP of India has meant that access to these modes of transport has not been uniform. Motor vehicle penetration is low with only 13 million cars on thenation's roads.[1] In addition, only around 10% of Indian households own a motorcycle.[2] At the same time, the Automobile industry in India is rapidly growing with an annual production of over 2.6 million vehicles[3] and vehicle volume is expected to rise greatly in the future.[4] In the interim however, public transport still remains the primary mode of transport for most of the population, and India's public transport systems are among the most heavily utilised in the world.[5] India's rail network is the longest and fourth most heavily used system in the world transporting over 6 billionpassengers and over 350 million tons of freight annually.[5][6] Despite ongoing improvements in the sector, several aspects of the transport sector are still riddled with problems due to outdated infrastructure, lack of investment, corruption and a burgeoning population. The demand for transport infrastructure and services has been rising by around 10% a year[5] with the current infrastructure being unable to meet these growing demands. According to recent estimates by Goldman Sachs, India will need to spend $1.7 Trillion USD on infrastructure projects over the next decade to boost economic growth of which $500 Billion USD is budgeted to be spent during the eleventh Five-year plan.

    Acknowledgements This document has emerged from a partnership of disparate groups of concerned individuals and organizations who have been engaged with the issue of exploring sustainable housing solutions in the city of Mumbai. The Kamala Raheja Vidyanidhi Institute of Architecture (KRVIA), which has compiled this document, contributed its professional expertise to a collaborative endeavour with Society for Promotion of Area Resource Centres (SPARC), an NGO involved with urban poverty. The discussion is an attempt to create a new language of sustainable urbanism and architecture for this metropolis. Thanks to the Dharavi Redevelopment Project (DRP) authorities for sharing all the drawings and information related to Dharavi. This project has been actively guided and supported by members of the National Slum Dwellers Federation (NSDF) and Dharavi Bachao Andolan: especially Jockin, John, Anand, Savita, Anjali, Raju Korde and residents’ associations who helped with on-site documentation and data collection, and also participated in the design process by giving regular inputs. The project has evolved in stages during which different teams of researchers have contributed. Researchers and professionals of KRVIA’s Design Cell who worked on the Dharavi Redevelopment Project were Deepti Talpade, Ninad Pandit and Namrata Kapoor, in the first phase; Aditya Sawant and Namrata Rao in the second phase; and Sujay Kumarji, Kairavi Dua and Bindi Vasavada in the third phase. Thanks to all of them. We express our gratitude to Sweden’s Royal University College of Fine Arts, Stockholm, (DHARAVI: Documenting Informalities ) and Kalpana Sharma (Rediscovering Dharavi ) as also Sundar Burra and Shirish Patel for permitting the use of their writings.
