  • 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.

May 29 – June 3, 2005 2 (12) A DESIGN FOR ECO-SUSTAINABILITY: LESSONS FROM A STRESSED ENVIRONMENT IN MUMBAI Introduction: The importance of environmental sustainability is now well recognized even by the developing countries. However, the economic compulsions that have become even stronger in the face of the globalization, the cities are facing intense competitions to attract international capital and corporate offices leading to policies where environmental well being gets a lower priority. The current focus of planning in the city of Mumbai on the proposals like creation of new Central Business Districts, Information Technology parks, luxury housing townships, flyovers and freeways, shopping malls, golf clubs, multiplexes and other high-end entertainment centers, all designed to project an up market and global image illustrates the point. In the process, the city environment is under strain as never before, but unfortunately that does not figure in any calculation. Assessment of the impact of development projects on the ecosystems is now absolutely critical besides the technical, economic and political factors.
