  • Study of Housing Typologies in Mumbai
    HOUSING TYPOLOGIES IN MUMBAI CRIT May 2007 HOUSING TYPOLOGIES IN MUMBAI CRIT May 2007 1 Research Team Prasad Shetty Rupali Gupte Ritesh Patil Aparna Parikh Neha Sabnis Benita Menezes CRIT would like to thank the Urban Age Programme, London School of Economics for providing financial support for this project. CRIT would also like to thank Yogita Lokhande, Chitra Venkatramani and Ubaid Ansari for their contributions in this project. Front Cover: Street in Fanaswadi, Inner City Area of Mumbai 2 Study of House Types in Mumbai As any other urban area with a dense history, Mumbai has several kinds of house types developed over various stages of its history. However, unlike in the case of many other cities all over the world, each one of its residences is invariably occupied by the city dwellers of this metropolis. Nothing is wasted or abandoned as old, unfitting, or dilapidated in this colossal economy. The housing condition of today’s Mumbai can be discussed through its various kinds of housing types, which form a bulk of the city’s lived spaces This study is intended towards making a compilation of house types in (and wherever relevant; around) Mumbai. House Type here means a generic representative form that helps in conceptualising all the houses that such a form represents. It is not a specific design executed by any important architect, which would be a-typical or unique. It is a form that is generated in a specific cultural epoch/condition. This generic ‘type’ can further have several variations and could be interestingly designed /interpreted / transformed by architects.

Field Researchers 1 Adyasha Mahanti - Sonaghar Madhavi Kalbele - Pritampur Sharib Mohammad - Amalganj Dipika Rohra - Darukhana Santosh Kanaujia - Sultankot 1 Some community location names have been changed to protect identities and maintain confidentiality THE AANGAN TRUST 2 MINOR ISSUES IN MAJOR CITIES Child Vulnerabilities in Urban Slums FOREWORD As this powerful study notes: “India’s heaving cities epitomize disparity… the poverty of many is …obscured by the flashy display of the wealthy few”. One aspect of this obscurity is the dramatic neglect of egregious child protection issues pervasive in urban India. As rural to urban migration accelerates, so does the concentration of extreme poverty and child vulnerability within cities. Over half the children living amongst the urban poor are stunted, over one third do not attend school and chronic exposure to violence, crime, and sexual and labor exploitation are endemic.

  • Case of Greater Mumbai
    MUMBAI Case of Greater Mumbai Jairaj Phatak 1 Ashok Hukku 2 1. Municipal Commissioner, Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai 2. Major General (Retd.), TechVision Security Consultants Pvt Ltd. 1 Part A CHAPTER 1 Geography, History, Resources, Infrastructure and Economy 1.1: Introduction Mumbai, the largest City in India, is also its financial capital. The population of the city grew at a compound rate of 1.8 percent from 1941 to 2001. However, it is now showing signs of stabilization with less than five percent population growth in the last decade. a. Geography and history Mumbai, population 12.4 million (2011), was originally a group of seven fishermen’s islands gifted by Portugal to England when a Portuguese princess married the King of England! The town started growing after the British shifted their headquarters on the Indian west coast to Mumbai in 1686. The original seven islands, which were joined to each other through a causeway project called Hornby Vellard during 1782 to 1838, now form the Mumbai City District (island city). These areas are covered in Wards A to G in the map on page 2. Four other islands, including a large island called Salsette, now form the Mumbai Suburban District. (Wards H to R in the map) During the last few years, the city has experienced extremely high rainfall on individual days during the monsoons causing fears of inundation in low-lying areas. The National Action Plan for Climate Changei (NAPCC, 2008) has projected an increase in temperature by about two degrees Celsius over the next fifty years and increase in the average rainfall by about twenty percent over the next twenty years.

Transportation Support Unit. Globalization, private sector and community pressures, and the need for capturing new revenues are the major factors directing port cities around the world towards redeveloping their old ports and waterfronts. Dandekar and Mahajan discuss the opportunities and challenges faced by Mumbai, one of India’s major port cities, in planning for such changes and responding to the need of all stakeholders. umbai Port has declined in the face of competition strong regional and national connections. Mumbai City Mfrom a new port located directly across the water aspires to become a significant global city and to continue within Mumbai Harbor. Its 1,100 acres of prime waterfront to play a leading role in the economy and development of land, now under-utilized, edge Mumbai City’s eastern India. But congestion, a declining quality of life, and lack shore. Slum encroachment and illegal underworld activities of amenities are causing it to lose ground. Access to port permeate under-utilized port lands that are coveted by lands is perceived to be a key opportunity for remediation. Mumbai, a city that is starved for suitable development sites.
