Today these areas, being located in prime locations are facing real estate pressures, inviting fishing villages to redevelop. Sale component including Five Star Rehab for Hotel, Entertainment facilities, fishing village Water Park, etc
Often these models of redevelopment are market driven and relegate the existing communities to their margins without considering their needs of infrastructure, housing and public space.

Degree of Blur
Skyscraping Apartments Apartment Blocks Old Labor Housing Dilapidated Bazaar Housing Incremental Settlements transactional capacities vis-à-vis type / form There are no specific regulations for development of fishing villages leading to the blind application of Slum Rehabilitaion regulations on these areas. We have not been able to clearly separate fishing villages from slums in the city, in our mapping efforts. In fact, many a times the SRA regulation becomes a means of usurping land.
CRZ Coastal Regulation Zone
The CRZ regulation has been set up by the government to safeguard sensitive environmental systems of the coastline. Developers have actively fought against this regulation. In fact this regulation has been recently relaxed. It was this that provoked fishing communities to safeguard themselves from these relaxations, the fishing community has lobbied with the government to bring them under the CRZ III regulation. Under this regulation, the fishing villages cannot be developed like the rest of the city. Though this protects the fishing village land, it does not address the needs of the fishing community for its own growth and development.
