  • Social Cohesion in Gilbert Hill What Can Be Done to Better Integrate the Informality Within the Formal Planning Process
    EXAMENSARBETE INOM SAMHÄLLSBYGGNAD, AVANCERAD NIVÅ, 30 HP STOCKHOLM, SVERIGE 2018 Social Cohesion in Gilbert Hill What can be done to better Integrate the Informality within the Formal Planning Process GUSTAV CARLSBRAND EMMA JOHANSSON KTH SKOLAN FÖR ARKITEKTUR OCH SAMHÄLLSBYGGNAD Abstract The government in Maharashtra are trying to rehabilitate the informal settlements in Mumbai through the slum rehabilitation authority and its rehabilitation scheme and we wanted to learn more about how it worked and how it affects living conditions for former residents of an informal settlement and how it can differ from those still living there. This study has a focus on a specific informal settlement in Mumbai, called Gilbert Hill. Through observations and interviews with people living in the area, the research investigates resident’s opinions and experiences. Interviews with officials, involved in the planning of Mumbai were conducted, in order to learn how the interaction between formal and informal structures looks like. The results will be presented in this report and will give an insight of the life in an informal settlement in Mumbai as well as the thoughts and efforts with the rehabilitation of said settings. Our findings have been analysed and discussed in the light of David Harvey’s The right to city, displacement theories, theories about the public private partnership and what it is that makes informal settlements to persist. We have discovered that it is not as easy as to just redevelop an informal settlement according to a uniform plan. Residents have special bonds to the neighbourhood, both between each other and to the place itself.

  • Gilbert Hill, Mumbai: a Causal and Feasibility Study of a Failed Tourist Potential
    IOSR Journal Of Humanities And Social Science (IOSR-JHSS) Volume 22, Issue 7, Ver. 8 (July. 2017) PP 10-17 e-ISSN: 2279-0837, p-ISSN: 2279-0845. www.iosrjournals.org Gilbert Hill, Mumbai: A Causal and Feasibility Study of a Failed Tourist Potential *Dr. Ajay Kamble Bhavan’s College, Andheri, Mumbai, India Corresponding Author: * Dr. Ajay Kamble ABSTRACT: The importance of Tourism in the development of any country cannot be denied. Gilbert Hill in Mumbai is a place which has all the necessary ingredients which can make a successful tourist spot. The hill is formed of 65 million years old columnar basalt rocks, which makes it a rare geological wonder and a potential tourist spot. The hill is located within the heart of city, and has excellent connectivity. There is also an old shrine of Gaondevi on top of the hill. In spite of its geological and cultural importance, Gilbert hill has not been able to develop as a tourist spot. Several, geographical, social and economic factors are responsible for this failure of tourist potential. The present paper attempts to study these factors and to assess the feasibility of Gilbert Hill’s development as a tourist attraction, thereby emphasizing the role of effective tourism management. Keywords: Gilbert Hill, Columnar basalts, Gaondevi temple, tourism management --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Date of Submission: 05 -07-2017 Date of acceptance: 15-07-2017 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I. INTRODUCTION In the present era of globalization, tourism has become a major sector, contributing to the economy of any nation. Showcasing of the natural landscape and cultural heritage was never so rewarding.

It focuses on the widespread practice of eating homemade lunches in the workplace, important for commuters to replenish mind and body with foods that embody their specific family backgrounds, in a society where religious, caste, class, and community markers comprise complex dietary regimes. Eating such charged substances in the office canteen was essential in reproducing selfhood and social distinction within Mumbai’s cosmopolitan environment.
