Mr. Sharad Mahajan, Architect Planner Project Director, MASHAL 2 Housing study for Pune Municipal Corporation 2009 - 2010 PREFACE MASHAL – Maharashtra Social Housing and Action League is an NGO registered in 1985. It has prepared six out of eleven ESRs for Pune City. MAHSAL is on forefront of slum, housing and thematic mapping. Sharad Mahajan, its active member is a qualified architect – planner, who is practicing architect and has worked in a capacity of senior planner with a team that prepared draft Development Plan for newly added villages. He has wide experience of working on housing, slum rehabilitation and township projects. MASHAL is working on ‘Utthan’- an urban community development project jointly implemented with UCD of PMC. This project is funded by Bill Gates Foundation. Experience and expertise of years and existing network with housing experts makes MAHSAL right organization to undertake housing study that may help the policy makers and urban planners to modify existing Development Plan of old PMC area. This study is expected to help PMC for addressing housing issues in the city as a whole. The economy of the Pune city has been transformed. The technologies have changed. PMC’s budget has multiplied many folds. Per capita income of the citizen, their expenditure pattern and life style have seen sea change in last few decades. Mindsets of people including that of the policy makers have changed. Development of the City is now considered as joint exercise where expertise, technological edge and financial involvement of the private sector are encouraged in the interest of development of the city. To make Pune more functionally efficient it is necessary to widen its roads, to redesign its residential areas by removing insanitary conditions and decongesting some of the old wards. For sound planning of the congested parts of the city it is necessary to know the magnitude of congestion besides locating the pockets of congestion. In other words, it is necessary to know the ages of all structures in different wards and to know the extent of mixed uses of housing in a ward. It is also necessary to know per capita availability of living space and the extent to which facilities like bathroom, latrine, direct municipal tap etc. are available to the residential areas in different wards in order to plan for their improvement. This information which is essential for social planning of the city can be known only through a well designed and comprehensive sample survey studying the housing conditions. 3 Housing study for Pune Municipal Corporation 2009 - 2010 Pune Municipal Corporation executes Development Plan for old PMC which was sanctioned by the State Govt. in 1987. The Corporation’s boundaries were extended in 1997 when 23 fringe villages were added to the existing corporation limit. Draft D.P. prepared for newly added villages was published and is now partly sanctioned. PMC is working on modifying Development Plan of the old PMC area as it has lived its life of 20 years. Since last D.P. exercise that was done during 1982 to 1987, PUNE is a different city as compared to what it was earlier. It is now proposed to study and review in depth, housing scenario to help the planners, City Managers, elected representative and peoples Associations to shape future of PUNE city area for next twenty years. The proposed D.P. is expected to address various issues including housing for poor and migrants. With these intentions MASHAL has now prepared report on housing Scenario for PMC area that will help initiation of appropriate housing policies and implementation strategies to enable housing satisfaction for PMC area over next 20 years. To assess and understand housing scenario, a sample survey was conducted covering old limits of PUNE Municipal Cooperation spread over an area of 145.92 sq.km. with population of 21, 63,0661. The whole area is divided into the 14 Administrative wards as per PMC and the primary survey is done on the basis of the number of households in each individual ward. Primary survey covered a 01% sample of total households, to represent the entire current housing scenario in old limit of PUNE Municipal Corporation. Sample represents different household typologies randomly selected and surveyed in each administrative ward. Sample will cover all typologies i.e. Wada’s, Chawls, Public housing, Apartments, Bungalows, co-op societies and Slums. 1 Demographic Projections for Pune Municipal Corporation, Gokhale Institute of Economics and Political Science, Pune 2007-2027 4 Housing study for Pune Municipal Corporation 2009 - 2010 INDEX INDEX .............................................................................................................................................. 5 ACRONYM ................................................................................................................................... 10 LIST OF TABLES .............................................................................................................................. 11 LIST OF FIGURES ........................................................................................................................... 12 1.
