Preface CEPT University I Understanding the City I Monsoon 2020
Nagpur is the third largest city in the state of Maharashtra and is popularly known as the Orange City. With its location in the eastern part of the state, it is the geographical centre of India. Since ages, it has been a city of cultural and political importance. There are many aspects to Nagpur city that indicate that the city is growing in terms of business, education, industry, manufacturing and research.Nagpur is already the 11th most competitive city for investment and has got an advantageous geographical location. With the increase in population, propelled by manufacturing and service industries in and around Nagpur, there is a huge demand for urban infrastructure in the city including housing, commercial and social infrastructure. The city of Nagpur is taking sturdy steps towards growth and development. For the city to implement proper development, it is important that the previous developments are understood. The portfolio is a compilation of studies focusing on the newly developing and expanding southwest part of the city namely Sahakar nagar. The parameters contributing to the spatial and infrastructural development such historical evolution, street network and land use along with built form development are the primary focus of the study.

Genesis and Transformation of Nagpur The genesis of the city of Nagpur starts from the year 1702. The foundation stone was laid by the gond king Bhakt Buland Shah along the banks of river nag. It was formerly known as Barasa which consisted of 12 villages that came together andformed the city. It then transformed to being the most important city of the province it was under; because of its central location and its evolution as a major centre for trade and commerce.

INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION led to establishment of mills
This was achieved by the execution of a well planned road network which came into existence after the Nagpur road plan conference in 1943. The major roads within the city were branching out from the central part which was the core of the trade and commerce activities. Establishment of industries on the periphery of the city was thus possible as the road network made the trips from the core of the city to the industrial area easier and convenient.

2.2 Housing. Slums became an Economical Settlement Option The concomitant labors which were attracted to Nagpur after it derived its base as an industrial city and mill city, choose slums as an option to accomodate in the city. “Pratibha Tai and his husband who migrated to city in search of livelihood from their native place, were struggling to find a shelter for themselves and thus had to settle in a slum area.

“Mr. Gupta, an real estate agent throws a light on the apartments in the city. The newly developing apartment units provide a sense of safety and security and are bringing this culture of gated communities which is beneficial both for the people and the sector.”
“Pratibha tai and her husband whose income is 18000, were allotted the EWS housing unit by the government” “Mr.Anil, whose monthly income is 75000 prefers living in an apartment rather than a detached house, as he feels that is family is more secure and safe as there are people staying close to them and they can interact within the compounded walls.”

2.3 Transport. Apli Bus Service is nor preffered to commute in Nagpur City. Nagpur has a bus-based public transport system with a fleet size of 470 buses of varying capacities. The public transport system till 2007 was managed and operated by MSRTC in Nagpur. Under JNNURM, funding was made available for procurement of buses in the mission cities. Further, the public transport service function was taken over by NMC from MSRTC, and NMC procured buses under JNNURM for bus-based city transportation. The buses were procured in the year 2010 and handed over to Vansh Nimay Infraprojects Pvt. Ltd. (VNIL) for operating the public transportation in the city. NMC has formed company/SPV named Nagpur Mahanagar Parivahan Pvt. Ltd. (NMPL) for outsourcing O&M of public transport.
“Yogesh, a labour working on a construction site in the city, stays in a slum near to his workplace which is in range of 2km. At first he used to cover the distance on foot, but now as he is earning a fixed daily wage, he has bought a bicycle and now uses that to travel daily”

03. Sahakar Nagar - A Residential Neighborhood in Urban Fringe of Nagpur City Locating Sahakar Nagar The study area namely Sahakar nagar falls in the South-West peripheral part of the city. In comparison to the other peripheral areas, the city has witnessed more expansion in the southwest part. Due to the limitations in development opportunities at the core of the city, people started moving away from the central part. Along with this, the growing population of the city noticed this area after the announcement of the MIHAN project which is near to the airport. Also, Sahakar nagar was preferred above the other peripheral residential areas of the city because of its connectivity factor as the metro station is 2.5km away along with its affordability.
The fabric is moderately dense with medium grain size. The precinct is enclosed by a sub-arterial road and a ring road which provides a good connectivity to the precinct with the city.

3.2 Location Choice and Affordability.
Urban Transformation of the area The precinct within the span of 2005 to 2010 became more dense. The vacant lands in the area were developed following proper rules and regulations formulated by the NMRDA which was formed in 2007. To cater the growing need of the residents,a significant rise in the number of commercial and non-retail buildings was observed.In 2014, NMRCL proposed metro rail for the city. A major metro station was planned at the adjacent major node of the precinct. Execution of the metro project had increased the FSI because of which mixed use development started happening in the area. First high rise in the area was constructed in 2014 which stands as a unique structure which now acts as a landmark in the area. Overall the fabric is dominated by G+3 structures and thus the only high rise helps in breaking the monotony of the skyline of the area.The rise in demand of residential buildings along with the involvement of government authorities with regulated rules and regulations has helped the area build its new character in the city.

Due to the limitations in development opportunities at the core of the city, people started moving away from the central part towards the fringes of the city. As land prices soar high near the core areas of the city, capital investments per unit area of land increases creating an economic rationale for multi-storied residential units in the fringes.

The Development plan proposed(Nagpur Improvement Trust 1986) was planned keeping in mind the growing population. The growing population did not respond to the proposed plan as the rate of increase of population per year was much more than it was expected. In the last decade (1991-2001), about 46 percent of population growth was due to immigration. Map showing Building use in Sahakar Nagar

With growing population of the city and the conversion and addition of land for residential use, Sahakar nagar became dominated by residential use with 85% of the buildings having their primary use as residential. The dominance of apartment typology with 90% is the major reason that the area was able to fulfill this demand of residential floor space as the apartments accommodate multiple dwelling units.

Considering upcoming development projects and investments, the economic growth rate of Nagpur will increase along with population growth rate. Thus a revised development plan was proposed in 2000. Changes in the land use were proposed amongst which one was the conversion of reserved land for public spaces to residential. Vacant land adjacent to the area was allotted the residential use. Thus, 60% of the land use is residential and transformation of the local setting can be seen in the land use.

The area has 71% of the unbuilt area. 33% of it is vacant out of which 26% comes under public use which is governed by the authorities. With the area being dominated by residential use, the scope of development can be commercial and recreational which can bring a balance to the area. The fact that people still have to travel to the centre of the city for their commercial needs and their recreational activities speaks a lot about the requirement of these kinds of developments.

Permissible FSI of 2 was levied on the area along with development regulations which restricted the increase in height. After the proposal of metro and new TDR regulations, the permissible FSI is now 4 because of which the first high rise building was constructed in the area. Addition of this building added a unique character to the skyline of Sahakar nagar as previously the area was dominated by G+3 to G+4 structures.

Good Network Connectivity within the Precinct
The inner ring road which is also one of the major arterial roads of the city caters the major traffic flow from the Sahakar Nagar and connects it to the remaining parts of the city. The sub-arterial road namely pratap nagar road and the collector road in the area carry traffic from the area to the city by delivering it to the ring road. Despite these being the major roads with a significant importance, 98% of the streets are local streets primarily allowing the traffic to access the buildings, which dominate the area. If we analyze the pattern in which these hierarchy of roads is spreading within the area, it is a combination of multiple patterns such as regular/ grid pattern and irregular pattern of streets.

The presence of irregular patterns resulted in a moderate number of dead ends in the central part of the area. These dead ends are majorly a part of the local streets and thus the interconnectivity of the local streets with the collector or sub-arterial roads is hampered. The arterial to sub-arterial and collector connected node ratio is way greater than the sub-arterial and collector to local connected node ratio. Even though the overall connected and link node ratio state that the area has good network connectivity, if we compare them amongst themselves, the dont satisfy the standard values.Thus it can be stated that the network dosent not satisy in connecting the area to City level network.

Variations in this connectivity with different patterns also have a direct impact on walkability within the precinct. As discussed above the area of Sahakar nagar is having multiple street patterns. Presence of these multiple patterns results in variation of distance to be covered from two different places if we consider a common point. The resident who has to travel from the area which has irregular street patterns will have to cover more distance in comparison with the person who has to cover the distance from the area which has regular street pattern. This adds on the travelling time of a person and directly affects the walkability within the area

For a good walkability in the area, the pedestrian facilities need to be maintained properly. Out of all the roads present in the area, only 0.5% of the roads have footpath facilities. The commercial shops present along the major roads encroach the footpaths and thus result in uneven area on the footpaths. The right of way which is the of major spines are not broad enough to cater the traffic flow in addition to which poorly maintained footpaths make them more chaotic. Such basic pedestrian facilities are not developed along the road. Absence of parking spaces forces people to park their vehicles on the shoulder area which creates an obstruction. Absence of medians on the carriageway further creates more chaos and traffic congestion.

As Nagpur is MonoCentric model with its CBD at centre, all the neighborhoods in the fringes are Residential dominant.
With more Expansion in South-west part because of the Increasing demand of Residential floor space Sahakar Nagar and Manish nagar have appartment as a dominant built typology
The availability of public land is less in all the neighborhoods. 43

06. Reflections & Conclusions 46
Every city we live in has a different and unique character which can be decoded by analysing its urban form and pattern. Along with this, the residents of the city portray the essence of its character. Studying the factors related to this urban form and built structure help us understand the present scenario of the city. The city of Nagpur being a developing city is still witnessing shifts in the development pattern. The city was established as a major emerging industrial area and started expanding outwards. Because of this, with changing times the central part of the city became the CBD and residential areas started growing outwards from the centre. The ever increasing market value at the central part of the city clearly indicates that the further development will take place along the peripheral parts of the city. However, even though the area is newly established and developed part of the city the condition of the streets and the pedesetrain facilities is not looked after properly. This is a pressing issue which needs to be focused on. The newly proposed projects by the government authorities have added on to the existing built form of the area. the increasing FSI breaks the monotonous skyline of the area and surely will continue to evolve with time. By the finding s of the study conducted it can be stated that in the coming times, the city will witness a drastic change in its infrastructure and built form and this will give a new face and image to the city of Nagpur.
