Capacity Building Programme Capacity Building Programme Volume - XI Graded List of Heritage Buildings Grade-I, Grade-IIA & Grade-IIB Premises as on 25. 2. 2009 Kolkata Municipal Corporation 5, S. N. Banerjee Road Kolkata -700 013 EPABX - 2286-1000 (22 Lines) www.kolkatamycity.com FOREWORD 1. The Government of West Bengal, by a resolution No. 5584-UD/O/M/SB/S-22/96 dated 6th October 1997, constituted a Committee known as “Expert Committee on Heritage Buildings” to identify the heritage buildings and sites in Kolkata Municipal Corporation (KMC) area. The said Expert Committee submitted its final report to the State Government on 02.11.1998. The report was discussed in a meeting on 01.12.1998, which was presided over by the Hon’ble M.I.C., Home (Police) and I & CA Departments, and attended by, inter alia, the Hon’ble M.I.C., Urban Development Department and the Hon’ble Mayor of Kolkata; the Principal Secretary, Urban Development Department; the Secretary, Municipal Affairs Department; the Chief Executive Officer, KMDA etc. It was decided in the meeting that the list recommended by the Committee would be sent to KMC for the acceptance and for taking suitable actions towards the preservation and conservation of those heritage buildings/sites in terms of the KMC Act, 1980 (Amendment). The KMC accepted and adopted the report in principle. 2. Meanwhile, in 1997 the Chapter XXIIIA was inserted in the KMC Act 1980 for introducing a Chapter for preservation and conservation of the heritage buildings. The Chapter and the provisions therein are self-explanatory. 3. Thus, by 1998, KMC had two instrumentalities. Firstly, the recommendation of the Govt. of West Bengal and the Expert Committee on Heritage Buildings were made available to the KMC. Secondly, by that time, KMC Act, 1980 (Amendment) was ready to address the issue of conservation of heritage buildings. 4. It was soon felt, however, that the above-said report required chiseling, editing, classifying and grading. Unless the original report of September 1998, as prepared by the Expert Committee, was further edited and graded and reviewed, the KMC could not probably meaningfully proceed further towards taking active steps to ensure conservation of the heritage buildings and/or support the heritage buildings/sites in meaningful manner. In any case, the original report contained many buildings/sites which were soon found to be either not actually existing or not very enduringly significant, either historically or architecturally. 5. The KMC has a Heritage Conservation Committee, of which Prof. Barun De happens to be a very distinguished member. In fact, earlier, on behalf of the State, it was Prof. De and his colleagues who prepared the report from the Expert Committee. Accordingly, KMC, a few months back, decided to request Prof. Barun De himself to re-write and review the original “heritage list”. Prof. De and some his colleagues were approached and a Sub-Committee was formed to go into the question of each of the heritage sites in detail to examine and finalize their grading, classification and significance. This Sub-Committee included Prof. Barun De, Prof Samir Rakshit, Dr. Gautam Sengupta, Sri G M Kapur, INTACH, Dr. Debasis Bose, Sri Indrajit Chaudhuri and Sri Anjan Mitra. Prof. De is an eminent historian; Prof. Rakshit is an Ex. Professor of Architecture, Jadavpur University; Dr. Sengupta is the State Director for Archaeology & Museums; Sri Kapur is a trained activist; Dr. Bose is a keen enthusiast; Sri Chaudhuri is a journalist; and Sri Mitra is a practising architect. 6. This Sub-Committee has since submitted an authoritatively edited, graded and trimmed heritage list. That list has further been placed in the civic body’s Heritage Conservation Committee, headed by Sri Alapan Bandyopadhyay, IAS, Municipal Commissioner, KMC and Chairman of the Committee. The full Committee includes scholars as well as administrators. They have accepted the Sub-Committee’s recommendations. 7. In this long and chequered background, with whole lot of exercises, what we have been able to arrive at is a concise, comprehensive, authoritative, graded and workable list of the heritage buildings, monuments, precincts and/or sites of the KMC. 8. This final booklet enlists 611 No. of Grade - I buildings, 197 No. of Grade - IIA buildings and 109 No. of Grade - IIB buildings. Insofar as Grade – III buildings are concerned, some discussions are yet on to decide which buildings could be deleted from the list with specific recommendations. 9. Development criteria of each heritage building will be governed as per the resolution of the Heritage Conservation Committee meeting dated 14/09/2006 subsequently approved in the Mayor-in-Council meeting dated 03/11/2006, which are as follows : Grade Sub-Grade Permissible intervention of the heritage premises I No external change will be permissible. Use of the building should also be compatible with the category of the heritage building A Same as Grade-I for the heritage building. But new construction may be allowed in the open land within the premises in compatible manner with the heritage building. In no case should new construction obstruct the view of II the heritage building. B Horizontal and vertical addition and alteration of the building may be allowed in compatibility with the heritage building III A plaque depicting the history of the building should be provided. Where the structure is having no architectural importance, demolition of the structure may be allowed. Note:- The HCC would be the final arbiter of the case-to-case examination of the compatibility issue. 10. Summarily, after a decade’s efforts, there is some kind of graded rationalization of the heritage list which makes us proud. 11. The present booklet is only an unembellished documentation of heritage buildings of Grade - I, Grade - IIA categories and Grade - IIB. We shall shortly publish a pictorial document also. Grade – III list is also being published shortly. 12. The Mayor-in-Council has accepted this proposal on 22/01/2009 and the Corporation has accepted it on 25/02/2009.

  • The Right to the Street
    Right to the City as the Basis for Housing Rights Advocacy in Contemporary India The Right to the street Submitted by: Dr. Anushyama Mukherjee Dr. Ratoola Kundu Ford Foundation Sponsored Research (Year 2016 -18) Tata Institute of Social Sciences 1 Chapter 1: Introduction The Centre for Urban Policy and Governance at TISS has embarked upon a multifaceted research project “Right to the City” funded by Ford Foundation which aims to a) generate knowledge b) inform policy and practices c) build networks of solidarity on the various aspects of claiming and upholding the right to the city, particularly for marginalised and excluded communities and groups that inhabit the urban space. Within the broader rubric of the Right to the City project, this study attempts to re-conceptualise the Right to the Street as a democratic and socio-political right which is increasingly under threat from the dominant development planning paradigms of urban imagination that seek to reduce the street to a particular function - as merely a space for vehicles carrying goods and people. The street emblematizes the concrete everyday reality of cities in India and much of the Global South, and also offers an insight into the workings of larger scale political economic structures (Saskia Sassen 1988, 1990, 1994, 2000; Manuel Castells 1983, 1996; Parthasarathy 1996; Ramchandraiah 2003; and Annapurna Shaw 1999). It reveals and hides, simultaneously, the complex mesh of claims and forces that shapes its life, that of the city at large, as well as of larger geographies. One of the key stakeholders in this highly contested space and a co-producer of the space of the street as a space of production, accumulation and of livelihood is the hawker.

  • City Disaster Management Plan of Kolkata
    CITY DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN OF KOLKATA 2020 KOLKATA MUNICIPAL CORPORATION 5, S.N. BANERJEE ROAD, KOLKATA - 13 Foreword Cities are important centres of modern societies that will continue to gain in importance in the future. Today, more than half the world’s population lives in urban areas. The high density and interdependence of urban lifestyles and work, and the growing dependence on increasingly complex infrastructure systems and services, are making cities more vulnerable to a variety of hazards — natural and man-made. These can be the result of technological, natural or social causes. The populous City of Kolkata is situated in the multi-hazard prone southern part of the state of West Bengal which has considerable risk of damage/loss of lives and property due to natural hazards like Cyclone, Earthquake and Flood even if we keep aside the threats due to human induced hazards as Fire, Accidents, Industrial & Chemical hazards etc. To minimize the losses due to disasters and to have a disaster resilient society, we must have clear understanding in regard to the type and strength of each of the probable threats which may cause disasters of medium or large scale in the city. The perception about disaster and its management has undergone a change following the enactment of the Disaster Management Act, 2005. The definition of disaster is now all encompassing that includes not only the events emerging from natural and man-made causes, but even those events which are caused by accident or negligence. There was a long felt need to capture information about all such events occurring across the sectors and efforts made to mitigate them in the city and to collate them at one place in a global perspective.
