SOCIO ECONOMIC DETERMINANTS IN MIXED USE DEVELOPMENTRajesh Kolli
This document summarizes a study that analyzed the socio-economic determinants of mixed-use development through a case study of neighborhoods in Nagpur, India. The study examined 6 neighborhoods with varying densities and land use mixes. It found that more centrally located, high-density mixed-use neighborhoods like Buldi had better access to amenities, lower travel times and costs, a stronger sense of community, and felt safer. In contrast, newer suburban neighborhoods like Shambhu Nagar lacked infrastructure, had higher travel burdens, and less interaction. Overall, the study showed socio-economic benefits of mixed-use development including accessibility, viability, quality of life, and sense of place.

Housing is considered affordable when total housing costs do not exceed 30% of a household's monthly income. This includes rent/mortgage payments and utilities. Affordable housing must preserve existing affordable units, make housing more affordable and available, promote diversity, and help families build wealth while linking to supportive services and balanced growth. Factors limiting affordable housing production include land and construction costs, zoning laws, and community reaction. Housing policies must promote healthy families and communities. Examples of policies include the Local Housing Allowance in the UK and rental assistance programs in the United States. While rural housing is assumed to be affordable, costs of living can be high with lower incomes.
This document summarizes characteristics of urban design presented by Nguyen Dang Phuong Linh at Hanoi Architectural University in 2014. It discusses three main characteristics: 1) spatial orientation and human scale in design, 2) time orientation and how buildings represent different eras, and 3) people and landscape environment, including the importance of social factors, green space, and public spaces that are accessible to all.
The document summarizes Charles Correa's incremental housing project in CBD Belapur, India. It describes the project's low-cost housing typologies designed around communal courtyards. Housing was organized into clusters of 7-12 pairs of freestanding homes arranged around shared spaces. This allowed residents to independently modify their own homes over time. While many original structures have been replaced, the hierarchy of community spaces remains intact decades later. The project demonstrated high-density affordable housing built at a human scale with simple materials. However, maintaining common spaces and adapting to changing aspirations have presented challenges over time.

The document describes the Tara Housing Group project in New Delhi, India. It was designed to provide affordable housing for middle-class families in a suburb of New Delhi. The design arranged single-family flats into united blocks around a central garden. This preserved privacy while providing access to shared open space. Each unit had an open terrace and maximized natural light and ventilation. While successful for its time, the design faces challenges today in accommodating increased living standards and development regulations around services, density, parking, and unit sizes. However, the social aspects of community space, interaction, and comfort remain relevant lessons for contemporary housing.
Habitat 67 was designed by Moshe Safdie for the 1967 World Exposition in Montreal, Canada as an experimental high-density housing solution using prefabricated modular units. The complex consists of 158 residences arranged in a zigzag pattern across a man-made peninsula, with each residence composed of interconnected concrete boxes and receiving sunlight and views on multiple sides. Safdie aimed to provide the benefits of suburban living through private outdoor spaces, natural light, and privacy within an urban high-rise development. While an ambitious experiment, Habitat 67 ultimately failed to significantly address high-density housing problems due to challenges with its modular construction.

Clarence Perry was an early 20th century American planner who developed the concept of the neighborhood unit. The neighborhood unit aimed to design self-contained residential areas that promoted community and protected residents from industrial areas and traffic. Key elements included centering the neighborhood around an elementary school, placing arterial streets on the perimeter, and dedicating 10% of land to parks and open space. The ideal neighborhood unit size was 5,000-6,000 people and 160 acres to allow children to walk half a mile to school and residents to access local services. Neighborhood planning principles focused on size, boundaries, internal streets, land use mix, and locating community facilities to encourage social interaction.
The Aranya low-cost housing project in Indore, India provides homes for over 6,500 low-income families across 85 hectares. It is organized into six neighborhoods, each with schools, medical centers, shops, and residences. The development features incremental housing that allows residents to expand their homes over time. It incorporates climate-responsive design such as north-south orientation, shared walls for shading, and cross ventilation.
The document discusses the concepts and principles of neighborhood planning. It describes Clarence Perry's neighborhood unit model from the early 1900s which centered schools in neighborhoods and used arterial streets to define boundaries while prioritizing walkability. The purpose of neighborhood planning is to enable social interaction, share amenities, and ensure safety. Principles include limiting neighborhood size, using major roads as boundaries, internal street hierarchies, and dedicating 10% of land to open space. Southern Village in Chapel Hill, NC is provided as an example, being a 312-acre mixed-use development with housing, retail, offices, and civic spaces organized around a central green.
The Incremental Housing project in CBD Belapur designed by Charles Correa featured clusters of 7-12 pairs of courtyard homes arranged to achieve high density using simple materials. Each family could independently extend their home, which started with a basic structure. Over time, many original homes were demolished and replaced with larger concrete structures, though the courtyard layout remained. While the flexibility initially provided benefits, maintenance of common spaces became an issue as the community changed.
The document summarizes the Aranya low-cost housing development project in Indore, India. It was commissioned by the Indore Development Authority to address the city's acute shortage of housing for the economically weaker section, as the slum population was projected to double within 10 years. The project aimed to accommodate around 7,000 housing units designed by Vastu Shilpa Foundation. It reviewed the site and context, as well as the planning and design approach taken by VSF to create an affordable and sustainable housing solution through understanding the needs of the intended residents. The research methodology included literature on the challenges of urbanization and slum growth in developing countries, as well as a primary review of the key aspects of the Aranya
The Aranya Low-Cost Housing project in Indore, India provided serviced housing plots and infrastructure for 6,500 low-income families. The project was led by architect Balkrishna Doshi and included mixed income neighborhoods organized around a central spine. It featured a hierarchy of pedestrian-prioritized roads and distributed open spaces to improve accessibility. Climate-responsive design like north-south orientation and shared walls minimized solar heat gain. The "site and service" approach provided basic infrastructure like water, sewer, and electricity to allow residents to construct homes appropriate to their needs.

- IS rules for residential density including allowable densities and notes on plot sizes for low income housing.
The document summarizes Kevin Lynch's book "The Image of the City" which explores how people mentally perceive and navigate urban environments. It discusses Lynch's concepts of imageability, legibility, and the five elements that comprise a city's mental image for people - paths, edges, districts, nodes, and landmarks. It provides examples of Lynch's analysis of the mental images of Boston, Jersey City, and Los Angeles.
Frank Lloyd Wright (June 8, 1867 – April 9, 1959) was an American architect, designer, writer, and educator. He designed more than 1,000 structures over a creative period of 70 years.
Wrightt believed in designing in harmony with humanity and its environment, a philosophy he called organic architecture.
This philosophy was best exemplified by Fallingwater (1935), which has been called the best all-time work of American architecture. As a founder of organic architecture, Wright played a key role in the architectural movements of the twentieth century, influencing three generations of architects worldwide through his works.

This document discusses industrial housing and housing conditions in Indian cities. It notes that housing is an essential human requirement and plays a role in health and well-being. Poor housing conditions in industrial areas like Bombay, Calcutta, and Madras are described. Various government housing schemes from the 1950s onward are outlined, as well as the roles of the Tamil Nadu Housing Board and HUDCO in developing affordable housing.
Radburn was developed in 1929 in New Jersey as one of America's first planned garden communities. It was designed by Clarence Stein and Henry Wright based on principles separating pedestrian and vehicular traffic through the use of cul-de-sacs and footpaths. The development included single family homes, row houses, apartments, and a central shopping center organized around extensive common green spaces within superblocks. While innovative at the time, some aspects of Radburn's design did not work as intended in practice and it faced financial difficulties, though its approach to integrating land uses and prioritizing pedestrian access influenced later suburban development.

Neighborhood planning aims to create cohesive communities where residents live in proximity and depend on each other. It involves dividing cities into neighborhoods of 2,000-5,000 people bounded by main roads. Each neighborhood has internal streets, a mix of housing types, centralized facilities like schools and shops within walking distance, and protected green spaces. When Jaipur was established in 1729, it was carefully planned following principles of neighborhood planning, with neighborhoods (mohallas) as the basic urban module. The city's road network and placement of amenities created well-defined and socially interactive neighborhoods.
The document discusses several theories of urban planning and land use:
(1) Garden city theory proposes planned cities that combine urban amenities with access to nature. Ebenezer Howard's model included separate zones for residents, industry, and agriculture surrounded by a rural belt.
(2) Burgess' concentric zone theory describes a city growing outward from the CBD in concentric circles divided by socioeconomic status and land use.
(3) Hoyt's sector theory argues cities develop in sectors influenced by transportation routes rather than concentric circles.
(4) Multiple nuclei model describes urban growth spreading from several centers rather than just the CBD.
Basic Concept of Human Settlement by Martin Adlaon Arnaiz Jr.Martin Arnaiz
Human settlements can take many forms depending on factors like location, population size, and level of development. The document outlines the basic components and types of human settlements from isolated dwellings and hamlets to towns, cities, and conurbations. It describes key characteristics like services available and population thresholds. Rural settlements tend to be more dispersed while urban areas are often nucleated or planned. A settlement's functions also vary and can include residential, administrative, industrial, commercial, service provision, and tourism roles.
Sir Ebenezer Howard was a pioneer of town planning who developed the concept of the garden city. He was influenced by the overcrowding and poor conditions he witnessed in cities like London and Chicago. Howard proposed that towns and countryside each had benefits and drawbacks, but that a new type of settlement combining their advantages could be created. This was the garden city - a self-contained community surrounded by greenbelt land, with proportionate areas for housing, industry and agriculture. The first examples of garden cities were Letchworth and Welwyn, which aimed to provide the benefits of both urban and rural living.
Proposed Garden City Zoning in Kawit, CaviteShayne Galo
The document proposes an urban planning concept called "Revitalization" for Kawit, Cavite. It involves three main strategies: Revitalize, Revive, and Relight. Revitalize reconfigures streets with center parking and landscaping. Revive makes sidewalk extensions for pedestrian safety. Relight installs new energy-efficient street lighting. It also discusses the Garden City Movement, which promotes planned, self-sufficient towns surrounded by greenbelts that integrate residences, industry and agriculture. Applying this model to Kawit could provide social and economic benefits through compact, walkable and mixed-use development.
The document discusses the ancient city of Mohenjo-daro in Pakistan, which was a major urban settlement of the Indus Valley Civilization around 2600 BCE. Mohenjo-daro had an extremely well-planned layout divided into residential and civic areas, with most buildings constructed from uniform mud bricks or fired bricks. Notable architecture included the Great Bath, considered the earliest public water tank, which was carefully constructed to be water-tight using bricks, gypsum, and bitumen. At its peak, Mohenjo-daro was one of the largest cities of the highly sophisticated Indus civilization, but it was suddenly abandoned around 1900 BCE.

Town planning in ancient India is explored through settlement patterns from the Vedic period through Mughal rule.
Urban planning theories have evolved over time in response to changes in populations, economies, and technologies. Early theories focused on orderly city layouts with separate zones. Hippodamus proposed dividing cities into public and private areas with grids. Howard's Garden Cities aimed to blend urban and rural advantages. Geddes emphasized relationships between people and environments. Later, modernist planners like Le Corbusier proposed high-density "Radiant Cities." Burgess' concentric zone model depicted socio-economic groups arranged in circles. Perry's neighborhood unit promoted walkable communities. Today, multiple nuclei and sector theories recognize dispersed growth around transportation networks.
The document summarizes several urban planning concepts from the 20th century, including the Garden City Concept, Neighborhood Unit Concept, and Sector Theory. The Garden City Concept proposed limiting city populations and incorporating green spaces. The Neighborhood Unit Concept centered schools and included parks, shops, and distinct internal/perimeter streets. Sector Theory described how distinct land use sectors near the city center would perpetuate as the city expanded in wedge-like fashion along major routes.
This document discusses urban planning trends in Asia, focusing on Singapore, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Manila, and other cities. It describes how these cities have modeled themselves after each other and Western cities like New York in terms of garden cities, public housing, and becoming global/world cities. The document also examines the roles of global capitalism, politics, and private developers in shaping urban landscapes and prioritizing green space, infrastructure, and sustainable standards. Specific examples discussed include Singapore's "garden city" concept and the privatized urban developments in Manila.
This document discusses various topics related to urbanization and employment structures. It begins by outlining some of the main problems of urbanization in developing countries such as housing, sanitation, and employment. It then describes features of urban land use, including bustees (slum housing) in India and the development of different functional zones within cities. The document also discusses employment structures and how they vary between more developed and less developed countries/regions. Specific examples of farming types and their key features are provided for different places like the UK, Netherlands, India, and Bangladesh. The impacts of farming on the environment and ways to make farming more wildlife sustainable are also examined.
Housing case study(KAFCO housing,Aranya lowcost housing, TARA housing)Sumaiya Islam
The document discusses the Aranya housing project in Indore, India designed by architect Balkrishna Doshi. The project aimed to provide affordable housing for 6,500 low-income families on a 86 hectare site. Doshi's master plan created 6 sectors with distributed open spaces, mixed land uses, and pedestrian and vehicular segregation. The plan oriented buildings for optimal climate response. Housing units started as core structures that residents could incrementally expand based on need. The design focused on community interaction through shared spaces while allowing privacy.
Radburn was a planned community developed in 1929 based on principles of separating pedestrian and vehicle traffic. It had 25,000 residents within 149 acres containing single family homes, row houses, and apartments arranged around a network of cul-de-sacs and footpaths connecting to interior parks and community spaces. The development pioneered concepts like the superblock and was an early example of integrating residential, commercial, and industrial areas with open spaces.

Several annual festivals celebrated in Andhra Pradesh are also summarized, including Poleramma Jatara, Sirimanu Uthsavam, Varalakshmi Vrata, and Brahmotsawam. The major classical dance form of Kuchipudi originating from Krishna district is briefly outlined. Traditional folk art forms like puppetry, Etikopp
DISASTER MITIGATION CONSTRUCTION TECHNIQUESRajesh Kolli
Disaster management is better split up in two: ‘disaster prevention’ and ‘emergency management’.
One prevents a disaster and manages an emergency.
Emergency management deals with all activities from preparedness to rehabilitation. Recovery goes from impact to reconstruction.
Mitigation means to reduce the severity of the human and material damage caused by the disaster.
ALTERNATE BUILDING MATERIALS & TECHNOLOGICAL ALTERNATIVES IN CONSTRUCTIONRajesh Kolli
Construction and civil engineering activities have experienced a rapid growth due to improvements in procurement of building materials.
However, the current scenario in the developing construction industry has posed many challenges due to some unsustainable aspects of the highly polluting and the exhaustive nature of building materials.
At the same time, it has also created opportunities for innovative and unconventional resources to emerge due to the widening gap in demand and supply of building materials, as well as the need for energy efficient and economical methods of construction.
Alternate Building Materials,Alternative Construction Technology and Rain Wat...Rajesh Kolli
The Core of any construction project is its design and at basic level is the materials used.
During the first phase of civilization we used the raw material such as leaves, branches and animal hides for the construction but with increase in our intellect we started improvising other materials such as stone, clay and timber.
With growing time we developed other materials such as brick and concrete, these materials went under great change and stayed till date from the starting of Egyptian civilisation to the present one.
The sudden change in the palate for construction was marked by the INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION giving birth to various materials such as metals, glass and steel. It gave rise to many new technologies.
After the industrial revolution many materials had come up over these years. Such as PVC and plastics , many types of concrete like ferrocrete & precast, GRF etc. even now lot of researches are going on new materials and about increasing the efficiency of earlier one.
Anti urbanization - an implicit development policyRajesh Kolli
Anti-Urbanization
A simple rejection of urbanisation, i.e. not intended to move to an urban area.
Its also a form of counter- urbanisation, i.e. migration from the city to the country side
Search for a radical often self-sufficient lifestyle
Relocation to enhance one’s quality of life
amenity driven retirement migration.
Mainly seen in middle aged and retired groups.
Folded plates and space truss structuresRajesh Kolli
The document discusses folded plates and space trusses. It defines folded plates as 3D structures made of straight pieces joined at sharp edges, and notes they are best constructed from reinforced concrete. Space trusses, also called space frames, are lightweight rigid structures made of interlocking struts in a geometric pattern that derive strength from triangular frames transmitting loads as tension and compression. Examples given are the Yokohama passenger terminal roof's folded plates and the Aspen Art Museum's long-span wood space frame roof.
Urban infill studio housing (urban design)Rajesh Kolli
This was the urban design studio project done by a group of 6 students (including me) during the 9th semester coursework of B.Arch at SPA Vijayawada.
We sincerely thanks Prof. G. Karteek, Prof. K. N. Viswatej and Prof. Parul Vyas for mentoring us during the coursework with their guidance and inputs to prepare this design proposal.
Project Description:
VISION: "Reinforcing the identity of the urban edge through a vibrant
public realm and socially inclusive urban built environment reflecting the local context."
Objectives of vision:
1. SOCIAL COHESION - To include cohesion and safety through the program.
2. DIVERSITY - Creating a mix of uses and activities.
3. SOCIO - ECONOMIC SUSTENANCE - To encourage various social and economic activities within the community.
4. OPEN SPACES + PEDESTRIANS - Enhancing the quality of open spaces and creating pedestrian friendly environment.
The document discusses the re-design of the Raghurajpur settlement in Odisha, India, which is known for its Pattachitra painters. Key points:
- The site area is 28,225 sqm and built-up area is 16,744 sqm.
- The blocks are arranged in a cluster pattern to differentiate spaces and allow for easy circulation.
- Narrow corridors are used to reduce sun exposure on walls and provide shaded spaces throughout the day.
- The central linear spine allows for free movement and the main open space is convenient for all users.
Fiber cement is a durable, waterproof, and fire resistant cladding material that is well-suited for both residential and commercial construction. It comes in a variety of sheet sizes and thicknesses. While fiber cement requires painting and has less flexibility than other cladding options, it is resistant to damage from impacts, rot, and fire. Fiber cement installation involves cutting sheets with specialized tools and attaching them to the building with nails, taking care to properly ventilate the work area.
IMMATERIAL - Perceived absence of matter,
Philosophically spiritual rather than physical, Realm of ideas, a formless phenomenon
Immaterial is an idea where material is an object
The richness of the user’s experience of any building depends on awareness of all the senses, but immaterial architecture may trigger a sense more often associated with the immaterial, such as smell and touch
Bhubaneswar was chosen as the capital of Odisha in 1948 to replace the congested city of Cuttack. The architect Dr. Otto Koenigsberger designed the new capital based on principles of neighborhood planning to reduce inequality. The plan divided the city into neighborhood units with amenities like schools and parks. It has since grown rapidly but maintained livability through stable growth and capitalizing on heritage, location, and strategic planning of institutions.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.
THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

WHAT IS MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT?
• Majority of human settlements developed as
mixed-use environments.
• People dwelt in buildings that were places of
work as well as domestic life, and made thingsor
sold things from their ownhomes.
• Modes of transport: Walking and sometimes
assisted by animals.
• Mixed use refers to developing structures or
communities that have a mixture of residential,
business and commercial uses.
• Housing with the combination of people with different
income groups or different income source.
SOCIO ECONOMIC FACTORS THAT
RESULTED IN ORIGIN OF MIXED USE
DEVELOPMENT
Eg: TAOS PUEBLO, NEW MEXICO
3. INDUSTRIALIZATION; A FACTOR THAT EFFECTED SOCIO ECONOMIC
STATUSAND LIVING ENVIRONMENT
• Industrialization had shifted the residential activities away from itszone.
• Invention of the skyscraper separated the commercial and offices from theneighborhoods.
• Automobile had become a requirement for transportation between residences, commercial and
offices.

SOCIO ECONOMIC FACTORS THAT RESULTED IN RISE OF MIXED USE
DEVELOPMENT
• Completely separate zoning created isolated
islands of each type of development and increased
Automobile dependency.
• Lack of social spaces and amenities at proximal
distance from residential zones (sign of lowliving
standards).
• Deindustrialization ofAmerican, British, Canadian
andAustralian cities after the second world war.
• Evolution of New Urbanism and importance for
compact city theories that had the roots of mixed
use development.

SOCIAL / QUALITY of LIFE
• Supports sustainable form of transportation
• Pedestrian Friendly
• Social Connectivity
• Civic Amenities/ Spaces
• Promotes more activities on streets
•Public Safety
ECONOMIC
• Shared Public Infrastructure
• Shared Parking
CHALLENGES OF MIXED-USE DEVELOPMENT
• Correct complement ofuses
• Locations supported by density
• Financing / capital
• Parking
• Structural / mechanicalsystems
• Entitlements/ zoning / codes
• Access: vehicular, pedestrian, service
• Active post –occupancy management
6. INDIAN SCENARIO OF MIXED USEDEVELOPMENT
• Indian Cities evolved as the traditional mixed use development patterns.
• The workplace in the next room, the shop next door and the community square around the
corner have always been a way of life, well articulated in the morphology of traditional
settlements.

7. VEDIC TOWN PLANNING
• Nandyavartha( Deity at the centre)
• Prastara (Income division)
• Chathurmukha ( Deity at the centre)
SOCIO-CULTURAL MILIEU
• Little or no socialstratification
• There was no need for any division of labour for production, defence administration and
storages.
• Agriculture gave surplus and spare time to spend. SoArt, Philosophy, Science. Ethics and
religion developed
• Religious life was influenced by saints andsages.
• Philosohic thinkingnutured.
• Science developed :Astronomy, integers and zero was invented.
ECONOMY
• The economy was principally agriculture security of life did not need to develop storage of
food grains.
• No specific economic leadership.

9. INTRODUCTION
• Dharavi in Mumbai is one of the largest slums in theworld.
• 55% of population in Mumbai lives in slums.
• Mumbai’s slums cover only 6-8% of the city’s land with 55% of its people.
• Span of Dharavi is over 500 acres and population more than one million.
09
10. HISTORY
• Until the late 19th century, this area of Mumbai was mangrove swamp inhabited by Koli
fishermen.
• When the swamp was filled in (with coconut leaves, rotten fish, and human waste), the Kolis
were deprived of their fishing grounds—theysoon shifted to bootlegging liquor.
• The Kumbhars came from Gujarat toestablish a potter's colony.
• Tamils arrived from the south and openedtanneries.
• Thousands travelled from Uttar Pradesh to work in the booming textile industry.
• The result is, Dharavi is the most diverse of slums; arguably the most diverse neighbourhood
in Mumbai, India's most diverse city.
10
11. 11WHY DHARAVI
1) Port area
2) Income opportunities
3) Cheapest Railway Network
4) Low cost of living
DEMONOGRAPHICS
With the span of 500 acres and population is over one million of which,
• 60% of Hindus
• 33% ofMuslims
• 6% ofChristians
• 20% of Hindu population works in animal skin production, tanneries, leather goods and rest
of them are involved in textiles and potteryworks.
• Dharavi has numerous temples, mosques and churches. Badi Masjid is the oldest structure in
this area.
12. LOCATION ADVANTAGES
• Dharavi is right between western and central railway. So it is convenient for peopleto travel.
• Dharavi has mithi river to it’s north, mahim and bandra to it’s west and to it’s south and east it
has sion and matunga.
• It’s location makes it vunarable to floods during monsoons.
ECONOMY
• Per capita income of the residents of Dharavi ranges between Rs.31,107 to Rs.124,430.
SANITATION ISSUES
• As of November 2006, there is only one toilet for 1,440 residents in Dharavi.
• Mahim Creek is used by the residents for urination and defecation, leading to contagious
diseases.
• This area also suffers from inadequate amount of drinking water.
DENSITY
• 300 square feet (28 square meters) of floor with 15 humans and an uncountednumber of mice.
12
14. BELAPUR INCREMENTAL HOUSING
• Designed in the year 1983-1986 by Charles Correa in
six hectares 1km away from city centre.
• Artesian Village for lower income to upper middle
income groups with a variation from 45m2 to 70m2.
• High density – 500 inhabitants per hectare including
common areas, schools etc.
• Evolutionary modules where the units are packed
closely to provide high density yet separate to allow
for individual identity and growth. So, they are free to
modify or extend their houses for futuregenerations.
14
15. HOUSING PATTERN
• Hierarchy – Community
space(12mx12m), intimate
courtyards(8mx8m),
housing units with private
courtyard.
• More privacy and a sense
of neighbourhood at
smaller scale.
• Low cost housing
(affordable for all income
groups)- brick walls,
wooden shingles roof and
terracotta pitchedroof.
Housing units
Intimate courtyard
Neighbourhood units

17. SOCIO-ECOMOMIC IMPACT ON HOUSING
• One-third of the houses are rebuilt by demolishing
them.
• As it is in the CBD of Navi Mumbai,
modernisation had great impact on their lifestyle
and built-form. Opportunities of cities in
merchandise and jobs has changed the livelihood
of the people from artists.
• The changed life style of the people and way of
thinking doesn’t have any interest to leave in the
houses with village or rural backdropand quality
of life of a village with the sophistication of
activities.
• Maintenance issues in the public spaces neglected
by the individuals and parking issues as it was not
designed for the automobiles at the time of design.

20. INTRODUCTION
• Magarpatta City is a new Real Estate development model, conceptualized by Mr.
Satish Magar which involves the concept of IntegratedTownship.
• In this model, rather than acquiring the land for development, which is a tedious
process, farmers were made equitablepartners in the project.
• With the help of this model, around 120 farmers pooled in their lands along with
Magar and a land corpus of 430Acres for development was generated.
• Farmers were given a stake in the company, according to the land held by them.
BACKGROUND OF NEED
• The Magarpatta area is part of the Pune Municipal Corporation from 1960 onwards,
even though it was in the agricultural zone.
• The 1982 draft development plan showed it as future urbanization zone. Under the
Urban Land CeilingAct, the government could easily acquire this land.
• After 1987, a lot of farmers started selling small plots of land to developers. The
government had no mechanism to stop it, no will to demolish it.
20
21. BACKGROUND OF DEVELOPMENT
• Satish Magar, was holding approximately 100 acres of land and agriculture was not
proving very profitable.
• He thought of the following development optionsfor the land:
• Heavy Industries ( NotAcceptable as within City Limits)
• Bungalows/Villas etc, but was notvery profitable.
• Golf Course.
• But in 1993, he thought of developing a township on his and surroundingland.
• Acquiring land from the farmers as mentioned before is a very tedious process and
will present a lot ofobstructions.
• But S. Magar thought that instead of acquiring the land, he thought of making the
farmer’s investors in the project giving them equity shares in thecompany.
• He created a consensus between the 120 farmers and they decided to pool their 430
acres of land.
• Each farmer would get shares equal to the land pooled.
• Magarpatta City and Construction company was formed.

28. UPLIFTMENT OF THE FARMERS
• Those farmers which wanted to sell off their shares, were allowed to sell them to other
members only.
• In lieu of the shares sold, the farmers had an option to buy apartments in the township.
• Most of them, rented out the apartments and are at the moment able to generate rents
between 6000-11000 Rs/pm/apartment which will make them financially very independent.
FARMERS IN DECISION-MAKING
• Second generation of Farmer families were being actively involved in the decision making
process for the general companystrategy and operations.
• Many of the farmer sons were sent to reputed engineering colleges on the account of the
company and were directly employed within the township for various purposes.
• All partners were eligible for loans at low interest rates for various purposes.

29. 29
SOCIO ECONOMIC EVOLUTION
• This township has triggered evolution in urbanplanning.
• The Government of Maharashtra haspassed a special legislation for development of
townships.
• People started pooling their land voluntarily and forming their own developing
companies.
• This has established a different model for urban settlement of workspace and residential
in same premises.
• Migration/Displacement of the original land residents has stopped.
• The life style of the people staying inside the township has upgraded.
30. TARGET MARKETING
• These apartment are mainly targeted for upper middle class society of Pune
• Upper middle class society constitutes about 25% prospective buyers of apartments.
• People who works in IT park of Magarpatta city
UNIQUENESS OF THE PROJECT
