The paper talks about making Mumbai a safer city from an Industrial safety perspective.
It is one of the 24 papers written by Ashish Puntambekar about the city of Mumbai and its future. For the first time Mumbai has an Engineering, Financing and Execution plan.
There is a great need for project management in the public domain. There's a perception that the government deals mainly with "soft" sectors in the public domain such as healthcare and education and that there is no need for project management practices. But that is not true. The government deals with "hard" sectors like infrastructure. Even in the "soft" sectors, project management practices are required for effective implementation. In fact, project management is the heart of implementation.

PROJECT ESTIMATING AND BUDGETING
Summary of the project
The project, in this case, is the automation of the cement manufacturing process. Cement manufacturing is a long process that utilizes many steps, many resources are used and this implies that the manufacturing companies have to spend a lot. ABC Limited manufactures cement but utilizes a manual process. The project involves automation and computerization of the process to make sure the use efficiency and effectiveness. The project involves the use of state-of-the-art equipment and computers to boost the manufacturing process.
1. Goals and objectives
The first goal of the project is to increase the production volume of the cement. The project intends to enable the company to triple its production volume. The second goal is to improve the quality of the products or the cement that the company manufactures. The product should be able to meet and surpass the expectations of the market. The third goal is to boost environmental friendliness. Currently, the company pollutes the environment through its manufacturing process and the project looks forward to eliminating this problem.
The first project objective is to install high capacity machinery that will enable the company to triple its production volume. For a company to increase its production volume it is necessary to modify its manufacturing process (Walker, 2015). The second objective is to utilize state-of-the-art quality control equipment and computers which will make sure the final product is of the desired quality. The third project objective is to utilize green energy so that the impact on the environment is reduced or eliminated. The project intends to utilize solar and wind energy in the manufacturing process.
2. The key customer and the stakeholders
The key customer is ABC Limited. This is a client whom the project will be delivered to. Whenever a project is being executed, there is a customer or a client that will use the completed project for their own benefits (Rose, 2003). In this case, ABC Limited is the customer who saw the need for improving its manufacturing processes and contracted the project to specialists to enable them to deliver it. The customer is responsible for providing details that should be addressed by the project. They provide information about what is currently available as well as what they would expect. This enables the project team to understand what they need to do to meet the needs of the customer so that they can design appropriately.
Apart from the customer who the project is being delivered to, there are also other stakeholders involved in the project. One of the major stakeholders is the supplier of the equipment and the materials required in the project. This is a key stakeholder because their contribution directly affects the project ...

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

About the Authors
Amrita Puntambekar is a designer with “The Planning and Design Lab”. She has detailed many of
the concepts as regards the social equity dimensions of the Mumbai Megaproject. She leads the
Nataraja Foundations initiatives on women’s issues and particularly children’s education. She is also
an associate fellow at the Nataraja Foundation and a consultant for its various projects. Amrita is a
freelance artist and specializes in watercolour. She is a post graduate in commerce and lives in
Mumbai.
Ashish Puntambekar is a Mumbai based , corporate planner and infrastructure project designer. He has
20 years of experience in designing some of India’s largest infrastructure projects, the most notable and
recent of which is the Indian Education Megaproject. The Education Megaproject is a plan to provide
high quality education , totally free of cost to 126 Million children, 80 % of who live in rural areas and
come from the poorest families. Please visit : http://www.nataraja.org.in/masseducationproject.htm
As a designer , Ashish believes in Gandhiji’s vision of “ Sarvodaya “( i.e the rise of all ) and his project
designs therefore focus on including the excluded among the masses . All his projects also have huge
environmental dividends in that they are designed for sustainability while also deploying
environmentally friendly building materials on a massive scale. Each project’s financial design also
frees up large capital resources for afforestation schemes and for wildlife preservation.
The Mumbai Megaproject for instance provides US $ 300 Million for Mangroves and another US $ 1.5
Billion for the planting of dense forests in Maharashtra. Employment generation is also high on the
design agenda. This is witnessed by the fact that the above mentioned two projects , alone will add 10
Million new jobs in India.
Besides designing large infrastructure and clean energy projects, the designer is also keenly interested
in the geopolitics of petroleum ( several published articles ) and has expert level knowledge in the
energy business and especially the price of crude oil which he has traded as a derivative trader on all
the worlds major exchanges and OTC markets for over 5 years. He currently works as a project
designer and also runs a private foundation, named the Nataraja Foundation, with a mandate to
innovate on an unprecedented level in the areas of Social Infrastructure, Urban Planning and Clean
Energy.
Ashish holds an MBA in international business and a bachelors degree in Mechanical Engineering.

Acknowledgments
The Mumbai Megaproject is a scheme in the interest of the Millions of citizens of Mumbai City and the
112 million inhabitants of Maharashtra. It is also a landmark project to safeguard the ecology and
sustain a vast marine ecosystem around Mumbai. The project proposal itself is an exercise in the public
interest and for the consideration of the State and Union Governments.
In a project proposal as wide-ranging as this with its 22 different themes, the project designers have
received much help from others, starting with FICCI-FLO and Deutsche Bank who organized and
sponsored the seminar in Sept ’ 2011 at the YB Chavan Center at Nariman Point in Mumbai.
While the Marco concepts and large project ideas are our own, several Individuals have contributed by
providing comments on draft chapters. A few senior specialists with vast experience in project planning
and execution have reviewed the whole report consisting of 22 different themes + 2 project control
specifications and have provided their inputs. Some contributed in terms of ideas while others provided
critical cost estimates for the various schemes within the Megaproject. It is not possible to thank
everyone by naming them as one cannot rank their ideas on the basis of relative criticality or
importance.
We have also borrowed ideas and concepts from other projects implemented around the world such as
the palm islands in Dubai, The Semakau offshore landfill in Singapore, The Chunnel tunnel that
connects the UK with France, The Cheonggyechon river re-development (Seoul, South Korea), Besos
river ( Spain ), The Sabarmati river re-development project in Ahmedabad, The Coral Reef Alliance’s
Bio Rock technology implementations around the world etc. In including these projects we acknowledge
their thought leadership and would like to learn from their implementation experience. Each borrowed
concept is acknowledged by source and at no point do we claim these fundamental concepts as our
own. In fact we hope that the people and organizations involved in these earlier, path-breaking projects
around the world see the opportunities in Mumbai and come here. The city will greatly benefit from their
experience.
Several friends have provided helpful guidance as we edited the final text for publication. We have also
taken a number of generic pictures from the internet and have used graphics and material for tables
from various published sources and while doing so, we have taken care to quote our sources for
numbers and opinions expressed by various parties in the public domain.
It is important to state here that the cost estimates within the Megaproject’s reports have been arrived
at after seeking relevant advice from experts. These are however indicative costs based on current
industry practices and projects commissioned within the last 3 – 5 years in India and around the world.
Based on all these inputs, we have modified the concepts in a manner that fits Mumbai’s unique
requirements. This cross fertilization of ideas across industries has been our own and it is this that
makes the Mumbai Megaproject unique. The estimates are critically linked to project execution
structures specified in each case to achieve the most efficient project schedule and least possible cost.
The project configurations and the scope of work considered in each sub-project also have had a major
impact on cost and these costs could vary if project scope is changed significantly.
Finally, the authors take sole responsibility for any errors or omissions regarding opinions expressed
and conclusions drawn from the various studies within the Megaproject proposals.

1. Executive Summary :
The Mumbai Megaproject, based as it is on the concept of Sarvodaya “ The Rise of All “ is
not focused on high profile skyscraper type of projects.
However, it is necessary from a skill development perspective to build at least one “ Super
Tall “ building in Mumbai so as to develop a vast in-house capability within the Indian
construction community ( architects, structural engineers, project consultants and
construction contractors ) so that the retained learning can be used later in cities across
India.
The Megaproject plan therefore makes an allowance for at least one “ Super Tall “ building
in Mumbai city and adequate land will be set aside for the construction of an Iconic building
of global stature which we have called “ The Kuber Heights Financial Center “.
Under the Megaproject proposal the state government will get a percentage stake in the
iconic structure equal in value to the price of the land that the government provides for the
project.
Cash deployment plan : Financing for large tiger conservation schemes
The Megaproject has prepared a unique financial structure for the The Kuber Heights
Financial Center project which ensures a considerable cash flow on a yearly basis for
supporting a large tiger conservation project in Maharashtra.
The financial structure that is to be used will ensure an un-interrupted flow of finance for the
creation of two tiger sanctuaries in Maharashtra and for the creation of special migration
paths between different forest areas so as to allow the tiger to breed and to move freely over
a large territory. Creation of safe migration paths and the re-growing of large forests is
critical to tiger conservation efforts in India and it is vital that investments are made in this
critical area.
The Megaproject’s financial plan for this “ SUPERTALL project will provide Rs 200 Crores in
financing for tiger conservation in India each year.
