hmedabad Municipality was established as Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation in July 1950 under the Bombay Provincial Municipal Corporation Act (BPMC). The AMC area was divided into 5 zones, namely Central, North, South, East, and West covering an area of 190 sq km before year 2008. Expansion of the peripheral areas began in the 1980s and ha continued since then. Earlier only the eastern parts and particularly the Eastern periphery registered faster growth rate, but since 1980s even the Western periphery has grown rapidly. (Corporation, Ahmedabad Municipal, 2013)

This project has been as a result of studies conducted within Ward no.46 (Kankaria) of the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation, which has one of the biggest attractions that Ahmedabad has to offer, the Kankaria Lake. Situated in the southern part of Ahmedabad, it is within a close proximity to the old city. It is one of the oldest wards existing in Ahmedabad with 69700 people residing in it. The entire Ahmedabad is approximately 464 Sq. km out of which the Kankaria ward occupies 2.69 Sq. km of area. The city is divided into 5 zones and 65 wards. The prominent boundaries of the ward can be defined by the walled city to the north, Maninagar to the south, a railway line on the east and the industrial area of Narol to the west. The whole project focuses on various aspects like infrastructure, social, cultural, economic etc. This entire report basically focuses on how we as planners have tried to improve the existing conditions prevailing in the ward and how it makes a difference to the people living there. Different sectors have been identified which have potential for development and an effort has been made to satisfy the needs of the people associated to those sectors. (CEPT University, 2014) (Corporation, Ahmedabad Municipal, 2013)

Because of the urban challenges we face today, the studio’s main focus is urban. Presently, in Ahmedabad, a comprehensive city plan is taken up every ten years, and then micro-planning is taken up at the periphery through town-planning schemes. Now, as the city grows denser, micro-planning attains more importance. (CEPT University, 2014).

Keeping in mind the ideology of constant need for development, new innovations, and better standards of living in the urban areas, and for the people living in it, planning has to be given utmost importance. This ward development plan for kankaria would be focusing on how to improve and create new opportunities for its people and strive for the overall growth and prosperity of the ward in the coming years. As a part of this development plan, focus has been on economic development, creating new opportunities, improvement of infrastructure, redesigning the open spaces and provision of better transport facilities respectively.

PLAN

A

s per the area planning laboratory, we have been given the ward kankaria as a group of 10 initially and later sub grouped into 5 each and have worked on how to address the needs and emerging concerns of the people in our assigned ward.The major objective of the lab was to prepare a ward development plan for a municipal ward within the city of Ahmedabad. We were to imagine ourselves like municipal planners in a municipal ward office. During the course of the studio, we have prepared a ward plan, consisting of a set of well-articulated project proposals, a financing strategy with budgeting and phasing of the projects and an implementation strategy, which helps the people of the ward but also the city of Ahmedabad respectively. The whole studio is divided into groups of ten (with sub-groups of 5 members each) and allotted the following wards: GROUP 1 : Kankaria GROUP 2 : Indrapura GROUP 3 :Navrangpura GROUP 4 : Odhav GROUP 5 : Sabarmati GROUP 6 : Amraivadi GROUP 7 : Thakkarbappa GROUP 8 : Raikad

The final draft ward plan includes the following components :

(Cooperation, Ahmedabad Municipal, 2013)

The study has been done after adaptation of different techniques of data collection, analysis, interpretation, and supporting case studies. Primary surveys to identify and asses the opinion for the proposals in the form of projects and to understand the needs of the local people of Kankaria was an important leap. Inputs from the stakeholders, AMC officials, and other NGO’s like centre for good governance have been considered for the planning purpose. Secondary data was compiled from AUDA, AMC, and Census 2011 Data and published research papers dealing with the area. Analysis of the collected data was done using basic quantitative research tools like public polls, questionnaires and software’s including GIS, Photo shop, In Design, Auto Cad and Microsoft Office.

he ward lies on the eastern zone and about 1.5 km. from the walled city. The prominent boundaries of the ward than the given line can be considered as the walled city to the north, railway line to the east, Maninagar to the south and the industrial area of Narol to the west, as the character of the ward is not limited to the given boundaries.

Today, due to the restoration of Kankaria Lake in 2008, the land prices around the lake started increasing. A city level open-space was formed and thus, the influx of tourists increased and so did the economy. And the consequences to the closing of textile mills, Kankaria ward are also a home for urban poor.

2.2 HISTORY

Fig: 2.4. Time Line History Of Ahmedabad

A

hmedabad is the 7th largest city in India (in terms of population). It is spread on both the banks of Sabarmati River, and its urban areas are extended into the city of Gandhinagar. The city acts as a hub connecting important ports in Kuttcch and Saurashtra. The prime surface water body in Ahmedabad is River Sabarmati, which flows from north to south and divides the city into two parts; east and west. It is not a perennial river. At the eastern side of the city, two minor rivers cross the region i.e. The Khari River and the Meshwa River. A number of ponds, lakes are also present in the city like Kankaria Lake, Vastrapur Lake, etc. Due to rapid urbanization some lakes have become extinct. About 36 lakes have dried up in last 28 years. (Corporation, Ahmedabad Municipal, 2013)

Karnadev Solanki had built a lake called ‘Karna Sagar’, in Karnavati which later became Kankaria. A large quantity of pebbles (Kankario) was observed while constructing the lake. And hence, the name”KANKARIA”.

2.3 STORY LINE.

In 1879, there were many textile mills in and around Ahmedabad and even around kankaria ward. All the LIG & EWS people who didn’t have any technical skills depended on these mills for their livelihoods, resulting in the situation where in most jobs in these mills were allotted to support them. It was even beneficial for the mill owners as the labour was much cheaper than the current labour rate during that time because of more demand and less availability of jobs.

To cut down on the transportation costs from their homes till their work places, these mill workers started setting up unauthorized house with similar design with only one room dwellings. These were constructed by the mill owners and provided to the labourers for housing purpose at a lot cost which was affordable by the people. This made kankaria a ward where people preferred to live in and hence made kankaria as a residential land use dominant ward. When the mills got shut down, it was the situation like 1879, where people didn’t have jobs to support their financial needs and nor diversified skills to get into different sectors in search of jobs.

This was the time when the people identified Kankaria Lake as an opportunity to support themselves if they got into informal market nearby and within kankaria. This resulted in the emergence of street vending activities within kankaria. (Primary survey, 2014) (Ahmedabad municipal corporation , 2014)

In 2008, the potential of Kankaria Lake increased which resulted in government of Gujarat to make it a city level recreational cum water body from an identity of a ward level lake. On the name of beautification of Kankaria Lake, about 300 street vendors were forced to vacate the lake premises and wall around the Kankaria Lake happened to be built. This disconnected the lake with the ward. Many people started coming to lake after its redevelopment, but the livelihood source of the street vendors got lost.

KANKARIA WARD DEVELOPMENT PLAN

In 2009, BRTS corridor connecting kankaria lake gate 1 came up and only few recreational activities took place inside Kankaria Lake became charged from free and street vendors before 1935 had a place inside the lake premises while the rest were pushed away from the Kankaria Lake. (Primary survey, 2014) (Ahmedabad municipal corporation , 2014)

In 2010, storm water drainage was laid in kankaria ward to address the problem of water logging in it. The number of activities which used to happen inside kankaria increased but there was nothing significantly happening in the ward which was of any benefit to the public. The people were also not happy because they had to pay an entry ticket to enter the lake which is of their own ward. (Primary survey, 2014)

From this it can be inferred that after the lake beautification project of Kankaria Lake, except to Kankaria Lake, no other regions or areas of the ward were developed. More and more facilities and activities were being added to the lake development but not even a single project to develop or benefit the people living in the rest of the kankaria ward took place. This identifies the need for why the focus has to be shifted from Kankaria Lake to kankaria ward.

“ SINCE 2008, NO MAJOR DEVELOPMENT HAS TAKEN PLACE IN KANKARIA WARD OTHER THAN THE LAKE FRONT BEAUTIFICATION, SO WHY NOT NOW USE THE POPULARITY AND IMAGE OF KANKARIA LAKE TO DRIVE DEVELOPMENT IN THE WARD ” 7

ankaria ward comprises of different types of activities taking place on ground from residential housing to grave yards. Kankaria Lake is one of the predominant factors which is the only water body in kankaria ward respectively. The built cover of kankaria counts to 1.32 Sq. Km comprising of all the buildings including different types like office spaces, housing, commercial shops. Kankaria Lake occupies about 0.32 Sq.Km of the total ward area. There are very less open spaces in kankaria which are in a much deteriorated state and require immediate attention accounting to 0.01 Sq.Km. The recreational areas in the ward are only present near the Kankaria Lake, which account to 0.27 Sq.Km of the whole ward area. Rail yard which occupies the whole north east part of the ward comprises of an area about 0.13 Sq.Km and 0.04 Sq.Km is occupied by the grave yards respectively.

WARD

4. Promoting social integration by developing the current open spaces in the ward so that they act like counter magnets to the kankaria lake and benefit the people of kankaria, connecting the ward to the lake by promoting cycle tracks and by partially opening up of the kankaria lake respectively .

bout 70% of the land in kankaria ward is put under residential use, by defining the character of the ward to be like a residential dominant ward. But still few activities are allowed like small scale commercials, and retail shops in residential zone With this it is understood that focus on the residential sector and for the people living in kankaria holds importance more than other factors to be planned for at a ward level.. Based on the primary analysis and by talking to people of the ward, it is understood that people of kankaria go to nearby wards like Maninagar for commercial activities including shopping, retail businesses, job opportunities (office spaces)

Projects proposed range from ward level till a specific site level and focus has been mainly of the people who contribute more to the kankaria ward and for the people in it. From the analysis so far it has been evident than, the development of the ward is lake centric rather than people centric.

(Primary survey, 2014)

About 37% of the people belong to the lower income group section and economically backward groups in kankaria ward, followed by the dominant middle income group section with 54%, and the least being higher income group section with a contribution of 9% respectively. This shows that planning for the people who fall under the LIG, EWS & MIG is very important because they contribute together to 91% of the whole kankaria ward. (Primary survey, 2014)

2.7 CONSENSUS

W

e have formulated few strategies which have a focused vision on sectors of economic development, infrastructure, street vending, social interactions and site level development strategies. These strategies would be used to address the needs of Kankaria and planned accordingly under the sanctioned amount of 50 crores per year for 5 years which accounts for 250 crores Focus has been given on different sectors which have been identified with potentials to work upon based on the needs of the people of Kankaria. Projects have been planned out for Kankaria development in such a way that there would be holistic approach to growth driven planning in the sectors like 1. Economic development of the ward, by project, lake as a catalyst for development of kankaria ward, and by supporting the informal sector in kankaria by restructuring the existing practices and legalization of street vending activities. 2. Provision of better infrastructural amenities to the people of kankaria, by resolving the issues in the water logging areas of the ward which lead to traffic issues in monsoons, redirecting the surface runoff after necessary treatment into the kankaria lake which would help in raising the levels of water in the lake and act like an alternative source than the bore water to fill the lake up, by development of the kabadi bazaar with provisions of new roads, storm water and drainage system .

efore moving on to the proposals, it is of prime importance to know what the existing situation in the ward is. Majority of the people living in Kankaria are LIG and MIG people. A walk on any of the main street will give a mixed The character and essence of the ward has to be understood with great detail before moving on to any assumptions or impression of Ahmedabad, which has seen a lot of recent development. We see a mixture of old and new construction on the proposals. streets with newly paved roads and improved infrastructure which came when the BRTS was introduced. Any proposal would be invalid if it doesn’t cater to the requirements of the ward.If we talk about the first impres- There are small pockets where there is a Muslim and Parsee majority, but, most of the people living are Hindus. One can sion that anyone would get once they visit the ward is that about 70% of the ward falls under the residential land use. also find quite a few temples and mosques around whereas only a couple of churches. There are a few places where there is (Primary survey, 2014) a temple and a mosque in very close proximity but in spite of this they don’t share any communal rivalry and they live quiet peacefully.

KANKARIA

LAKE

he Kankaria Lake is the most prominent landmark in the Kankaria Ward. Around 5000-6000 people visit the lake every morning for their morning walks and to eat at the breakfast stalls. The entry in to the lake is free from 4am - 8am. All around the day till 10pm the visitors of the lake are charged with an entry fee. The lake and the other activities are inside run till 10 pm. The lake offers its visitors numerous attractions like a toy train, balloon ride, Kids city, balvatika, Zoological Park etc. Kankaria lake carnival is hosted every year around 25th to 31st December, in which around 25 lakh people visit the lake in a single week. The lake has been opened to public since 2008 December and has been a successful self-sustaining project. (Kankaria lake development board, 2014)

3.2 RAIL YARD

There is a rail yard located north of the lake after the zoological park. This yard falls between the Maninagar station and the Kalupur station of Ahmedabad. The train yard is deserted during most of the day. Activities such as repair work, loading and unloading of goods are carried out in the train yard. It has a constant incoming of trains from different parts of India. Various goods come in containers and are transported to their respective addresses by trucks which are generally parked at the yard and are moved into the city during appropriate times.

3.5 KANKARIA LAKE

(Primary survey, 2014)

3.3 RESIDENTIAL COLONIES People belonging of various communities live in clusters or housing societies in the ward. We observed communities like business class, working class, Patel’s, Sindhi’s etc living in housing societies. The entrance to the society is through an arched gateway leading to a common space shared by all the residents of that colony. The shared space is used by all- children for their evening play, housewives for their gossip, and by the old to relax. Some of these societies even had a temple situated at the end of the shared space, where an active participation from all the residents is seen during festivals. One very unique character of this sort of group housing is that it acts as a gated community and all the houses overlook the shared space, giving the residents a sense of security and an active social life. (Primary survey, 2014) (Ahmedabad municipal corporation , 2014)

3.4 NATURAL MARKETS Natural markets can be defined as the places within kankaria where in which most of the informal/vending activities take place. With respect to kankaria the major locations of natural markets supporting these activities are local temples, traffic nodes, mosques, Kankaria Lake, football ground, kabadi bazaar, lathi bazaar, apsara cinema, rail yard, schools etc. (Primary survey, 2014)

RECREATIONAL ASPECTS: The lake serves as an area where people gather to have a great morning walk in the calm environment of the lake. Many people come to the lake for picnics and have a nice time enjoying all the activities provided by the lake. ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS: This development around the lake has saved the lake from being polluted and get degraded due to pollution. Various techniques are being followed but the AMC to improve the quality of water. ECONOMIC ASPECTS: The lake has brought people from all parts of Ahmedabad who come and spend money in the lake which in turn is used by the AMC for further development. Many LIG people living in the Kankaria ward benefit as they get Employment by working in and around the lake.

U

nderstanding the issues of kankaria was the prime step to get started with the analysis of the ward. so as to get a clear perspective about the projects, and the proposals made in each sector, an exercise has been carried out under which each issue has been addressed separately. each issue has been taken firstly and the aspects like how, why and what have been analyzed . Under WHY - we have addressed the issues about why this intended change has not occurred till date in kankaria ward and what were the reasons behind it for not happening. Under WHAT - we have addressed the aspects of what can be done to overcome the issues and have a better kankaria Under HOW - we have raised the aspects and projects of how can the issues be solved, and how would it be implemented in the coming future

7. PROPOSAL

Master in Planning, CEPT University AREA PLANNING STUDIO Semester One (Monsoon), 2014

PROPOSAL 7.1 – EXTENDING TRANSIT ORIENTED ZONE AROUND THE LAKE

B

efore the development of Kankaria Lake, it was free and no hindrances either in term of visual or physical terms was present. After the development of Kankaria Lake, the space got walls around it and there were restrictions on entry to the lake and this challenged the people.According to us the lake development is a good initiative and this helped in protecting the Kankaria Lake and even generated economy to the city but this even created inequalities in the user groups of the lake. Previously the major visitors comprised of the LIG & EWS people while now it has shifted to MIG & HIG accordingly.

Similar to TOD/Transit oriented zone, an TOD is being proposed around Kankaria Lake so that it acts like an attractive index to the development along the lake and benefit the ward. Changing the land use along a development corridor would result in the change in the land values and even the imagebility of the space.

We can observe that Kankaria Lake has experienced great development since then and now still it has a lot of scope for future development.

Under this project, the area in between gate 3 and 1 of Kankaria Lake, have been targeted and commercialization of this corridor is planned. So as to benefit from the incentives like the lake development, the upcoming sports complex, the growing commercial needs, planning for a ward with sufficient land under the commercial and mixed uses so as to support the dependent residential population is very important.

Developmental aspects comprising of lake development, more recreational spaces, eateries, play areas and water bodies, were focused on the Kankaria Lake but no one bothered to look on to the kankaria ward in which the lake is there. So the diversion of focus from a lake centric development to a people centric or ward centric development is necessary so that there is uniform development throughout the kankaria ward else than only one part of the ward being developed and the rest being ignored. Initiatives have been taken in this project so as to use the demand and popularity of the lake to develop the rest of the ward. Based on the TOZ policy by the AMC, there has been a TOZ being proposed where in which the zone would be having benefits of additional FSI, more economic opportunities, and commercialization.

TOD- It is a development incentive to promote compact transit oriented development within the walking distance on public transit routes of BRTS.

Based on this project, all the buildings get more benefits, and there can be more LOZ zones once this project works out. From the analysis of primary survey and public polls this project has been worked out to meet the growing demands.

Change in the land use pattern is expected as a result of this project, i.e. conversion of residential land use into mixed and commercial uses is expected. This would be having an impact on the density of the ward, because it is creating a corridor which is enabled with facilities of physical, social infrastructure, visual aesthetics, and commercialization. The building densities are also likely to be effected and a positive growth in it is expected because of increase in FSI and demand for activities. We have compare this scenario with that of the C.G.Road and project the data as per the study If we consider the example of C.G.Road, it can be observed that for a stretch of 250mts there are about 75 shops with commercial functionalities, of both G and G+ 1 structures. On an average 4 people work per shop From this on a total, 300 people work in 75 shops (running businesses). So if this data is projected onto kankaria ward, Total length of street available for the development likewise in the case of C.G.Road is 1100mts

This would not only help in the growth of economy of kankaria but give a new identity and meet the growing needs of the people of kankaria in terms of jobs, commercial activities, more open recreational spaces and mixed land use which would have a direct impact on the land values, which would indirectly effect the land use pattern of the ward

treet vendors form a very important segment of the unauthorized sector in the country. It is estimated that in several cities street vendors count for about 2 per cent of the population. Women constitute a large segment of these street vendors in almost every city. Street vending is not only a source of self-employment to the poor in cities and towns but also a means to provide ‘affordable’ as well as ‘convenient’ services to majority of the urban population”.

Under the street vendors policy “NO HAWKERS/ VENDORS CAN BE DISPLACED ON THE NAME OF BEAUTIFICATION” But this is what which happened in the case of kankaria lake development.

(Ministry of housing and urban poverty alleviation, 2009) (Darshini Mahadevia, 2013)

As per paper by Sethuraman in 1976, Street trading is an entry level profession due to ease of entry and exits, low initial and working capital requirement, flexible work hours, etc Because of its characteristics, women are predominantly found in this sector. As mentioned in the CUE working paper, the National Policy on Urban Street Vendors, 2009, framed by the national government, later which converted into the Protection of Livelihood and Regulation of Street Vending Bill, 2009, prepared by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Poverty Alleviation (MoHUPA) are the main policies under which any developmental policies or programs for street vendors are to be made. On the name of beautification, the street vendors have been shifted away from Kankaria Lake which is the only place where they have demand for i.e. vendors who existed before 1935 are still there inside lake but the ones which came up later have been pushed out. Methodology for project implementation for street vendors

After lake development vendors were notallowed to vend inside the lake. Only vendors before 1935 had place inside the lake while the rest of them were evicted from it. The other space was given to other shops and stalls on bidding process

Kankaria Lake is an artificial lake, built in 1451 AD, with a summer palace on a peninsular extension in the lake named angina wadi. In 2009, the Kankaria Lakefront Redevelopment project created a gated lakefront precinct with a paved walkway round the waterfront, cafés, seating areas, playgrounds, a small train along the shore, and 6 kilometers of access roads. The lake is popular at weekends but an entry fee of Rs 10/- is charged. (Ahmedabad municipal corporation , 2014)

KANKARIA WARD DEVELOPMENT PLAN

The beautification project displaced several slum settlements and vending locations. Although some vendors have relocated outside the gates, their numbers have reduced, and Hafta system started. Prior to the project, low and middle income groups were frequent client of these vendors but now only high and middle income groups visit the area as these are the ones who tend to pay entry ticket to the lakefront development. Inside the gated lakefront development, kiosks have been allotted through bidding process and it is unlikely that any former vendor would have found their way to put in deposit for bidding process. Hence, the commerce run by the vendors have been taken over by the relatively higher segment of traders. Further, many vendors were living in the slums nearby, such as Machhipir slum, etc. have also been demolished and have been pushed out to the city’s periphery. Coming back to vend at their original place of business has become extremely difficult for many of the displaced vendors and hence their numbers have declined. However, a section of the former vendors continue to carry out their business around Kankaria Lake In spite of harassment from the police in absence of any other livelihood option. Characteristics of the People involved in vending activities outside Kankaria Lake can be given as follows: • • •

The vendors have no facilities and security when compared to those who are inside Vendors inside earn Rs 800-900 per day Existing situation of the people engaged in the informal activities is very vulnerable with many problems like, fines, legality issues, less demand, fear of eviction, economic stability etc

Fig: 7.8. Street vendors classification in kankaria ward

P R I M A RY S U RV E Y A NA LYS I S A total survey of 98 vendors in kankaria has been performed and outcomes from this extensive survey have been analyzed and the project has been proposed accordingly. Types of vendors found in kankaria ward are as follows based on visual observations of the ward. Based on the area and people who visit such places more, the street vendors orient themselves in the ward of kankaria. Most of the eateries and entertainment stuff is sold near the kankaria lake premises and around it, while vegetable vendors are found in the interior streets and near the municipal market. So as to escape from paying hafta, the vendors vend at different places or shift places on a temporary basis. Hawkers/ vendors near Kankaria Lake earn about Rs.500- Rs.900. while the vendors inside the Kankaria Lake earn about Rs 12000-15000 which is more than the previous one. Out of the total 69700 population, 6% are engaged in informal activities most of them are women. About 29 % of the population is indirectly dependent on these activities. Most of the vendors are the residents of the nearby EWS & L IG h ou s i n g s respectively. Natural markets identified for informal, activities/ hawkers are location for establishments in and around the places which have a continuous flow (in and out) of public so that it is economically beneficial and Kankaria Lake is the major attracting markets of our ward. Vegetable vendors are found at every traffic node which creates conflicts with the ongoing traffic and even inside residential colonies. Chaiwaalas and other vada pav stalls are found

near kabadi bazaar, rail yard, lake because people are active in the time zones during morning and evenings for walking,jogging and labourers at the rail yard. With this observation of the street vendors it is clear that, they set up where they have any economic opportunity, so project has been focused in such a way that they have equal scope for economic development and they are not deprived of their livelihood earnings accordingly. Legalization, regulation and zoning for street vendors are some of the tools adapted to provide social and physical security to the street vendors. Street vendor’s policy has been considered as a base for proposing this project.

KANKARIA WARD DEVELOPMENT PLAN


Master in Planning, CEPT University AREA PLANNING STUDIO Semester One (Monsoon), 2014

PROJECT 1- Framing a new policy to regularize the vending activities after studying the street vendor’s policy • Establishing a new ward vending committee to have a control on the street vending activities in kankaria ward which would be even monitoring and maintaining the above • Benefits – self management and regulations , credits and insurances, social security, rehabilitation of child vendors under the child labour prohibition and regulation act 1986 • Local government policy should recognise the importance of street vending as a livelihood option for the urban poor, especially the vulnerable poor, eg: women (particularly older women), and SCs;

Most of the people engaged in the vending activities are from the age groups of 20-40 (basic working population). This shows that due to lack of jobs i.e. may be unemployment or under employment people are engaged in these sorts of informal activities in kankaria

Here it is evident that due to closure of the Kankaria Lake, there has been loss of livelihoods for the people in street vending activities, and this is why they became mobile vendors instead of being stationary at one particular place at kankaria ward. (Primary survey, 2014)

PROJECT

• Organization led by vendors’ representatives, should strengthen understanding the economic contribution of street vending and its place within kankaria • Policy would identify all ‘natural markets’ throughout ward of kankaria; based on primary survey and interaction with people. • In identified ‘natural markets’ decentralized management committees would be set up, led by vendors, to manage the market and collect vending fees • Street vending should be permitted provided that it does not cause problems for public safety, or conflicts with the traffic • Urban infrastructure and ‘beautification’ schemes should protect street vendors’ livelihoods, and where vending spaces are affected, should redesign public space to accommodate vendors in situ (Darshini Mahadevia, 2013) (Ministry of housing and urban poverty alleviation, 2009) PROJECT 2 – Legalization of street vending

activities in kankaria ward

• So as to remove Hafta system, all the street vendors in kankaria have to be legalized by provision of 1. Photo census 2. Registration procedure with AMC 3. ID cards, 4. Revenue collection 5. Monthly maintenance 6. Fines/ charges People involved in these informal activities are forced to pay some amount of money towards hafta so that they get the permission to do their vending activities near kankaria

Street vendors have been vulnerable to problems like forceful eviction from their vending spaces during the kankaria lake beautification process, Because of which there have been many adverse effects like threat to social security, financial backwardness due to loss of employment opportunities, Hafta which they pay for staying in the places where illegal vending activities take place, lack of properly delineate vending zones throughout the ward.

The street vendor has to take the photo of his/her stall firstly as a proof of them in that vending space, selling those particular activities. Vending stalls can be of their own and if they are much deteriorated in condition, AMC would be providing new vending stalls at a very economical scale on either rent/own basis. 23

KANKARIA WARD DEVELOPMENT PLAN


Master in Planning, CEPT University AREA PLANNING STUDIO Semester One (Monsoon), 2014

To get registered under this policy with AMC, they have to fill out the application form with the officer at the ward vending committee, and proof documents also would be taken from the respective vendors.

EXISTING

After registration is confirmed, the vendor has to open an account through which all the vendors have to maintain their transactions, payments, fees, user charges. It is a common platform for collection and even distribution of benefits and charges accordingly.

There would be a common helpline 24x7 just to maintain and regulate street vendors, monitored by the ward vending committee. This would be helpful to the street vendors as well as the people, because reporting of encroachments, illegal vending, and traffic conflicts can be reported within seconds to the officials, and emergency services would be also just a call away.

PROPOSAL

All these are at the cost of proper maintenance and implementation of the policy. As we know everything comes with a cost, this project also has many positive aspects which are of greater impact and help to the street vendors, but if the policy is not implemented properly, there can be misuse of funds and powers, with respect to the physical implication. PROJECT 3 – Provision of amenities and proper vending spaces for street vendors • New structures to vend on own/ rent/ lease basis • Restricting street vending in conflict areas for immobile vendors and keeping other areas open for mobile vending • All time vending zones near the natural markets including areas near traffic junctions, kankaria lake, and proposed developed open spaces • Up gradation of the current vending spaces • Incentivizing by provision of amenities like drinking water, public toilets, electricity, shelter etc. 24

ublic transport plays a very crucial role in the ward connectivity and integration of people and other services to the rest of the city. Currently there is one corridor of BRTS which is passing from swami Narayan road to Kankaria Lake, and continues so on. There is another BRTS corridor planned till Geeta mandir bus stop, keeping in view the emerging needs and concerns regarding public transport.

5000 - 6000 PEOPLE PER DAY

1000 - 1500 PEOPLE PER DAY

So as to understand how people approach to Kankaria Lake, and from how much distance, from which parts of the city, an extensive survey has been conducted. Based on the interview of the stakeholders, it is evident that people mostly prefer either gate 1/ gate 3 to enter into Kankaria Lake, because they fall on the major roads and the BRTS corridor and have more accessibility than the other gates. From the survey it is clear that, most of the people enter from gate 1 and gate 3 because most of the activities, eateries inside the kankaria lake start from these points, including the toy train. The main factors of study which emphasize on development and strengthening the intermediate public transport are – Kankaria Lake now is very famous and attracts many people from the city and outside the city too. Thus keeping in mind the current developmental statistics, it is evident that Kankaria Lake will have more users and will grow more in popularity in the coming years. Kankaria lake road is the main road which connects geeta mandir to maninagar railway station and thus experiences many traffic issues and conflicts on a day to day basis.

W HAT D O E S T H I S M E A N ? With this analysis it is clear that, most of the people prefer to reach Kankaria Lake from gate 3 over gate 1. Even if there is a BRTS station near gate 1 only 35% of people are using it next followed by the 2/4 wheelers. At gate 3, 57% of people come through Para transit like autos, even after which there are no auto stands provided for better maintenance at gate 3

If we look at how Kankaria is connected to the rest of Ahmedabad, we see that majority of the roads connect with each other and reach the gate 3. This is why we get more visitors at gate 3 and lesser at the other gates. Nearly 6000 people enter the lake from here when compared to the 1200 at the gate 1. Analyzing such a situation becomes very important because this will have a direct impact on the mode of transport they use. People at gate 3 are found to use the Auto rickshaw more and gate 1 is more preferred by the people using the BRTS and taxis.

Keeping in mind the other projects proposed for the kankaria development, there can be more demand expected in the near future, and stress on the public transport would grow. So, to meet the growing needs of the situation, a project to strengthen the intermediate public transport modes, focusing on increasing their impact or user zones, and coverage in the ward is necessary Fig: 7.10. Visitor entries to kankaria lake Source: Primary survey, 2014 ,Kankaria lake development board, 2014

H O W D O T H E Y R E AC H H E R E ? Most of the people at gate 1 come via BRTS, and next followed by 2& 4 wheelers. The least is contributed by the auto rickshaws.At gate 3 since there is no BRTS, most of the people come via auto rickshaws, and next by the 2 & 4 wheelers respectively. By this we can see that, most people use BRTS and enter from gate 1 as it is close to kankaria BRTS station and even if more people come from autos at gate 3, there is restrictions of parking of auto rickwshaws near gate 3, only pick up and drop facilities are available respectively.

Fig: 7.13. Accessibility by various modes of transport to kankaria gates 1 and 3 Source: Primary survey, 2014)

Based upon the survey performed by TERI in Ahmedabad, the average trip lengths and capacity approximations are done. According to this proposal, an auto rickshaw stand is provided near kankaria gate 3, where autos can park and halt which would benefit both the users as well as the drivers of the autos. Bicycle stands, near the existing as well as the proposed BRTS stations would be provided so that people get to use cycles, which not only is viable but economically and environmentally sustainable too. Cycle rickshaws are being

proposed so that it would be economically supporting the lower class and it would be like a unique stand out within all the other wards of Ahmedabad as no cycle rickshaws are there anymore in use in the city respectively. Based on the commercialization project and the partial opening up of the lake, there would be all classes of people who would use the space, ranging from different age groups. So proposing a new mode of transport just in between the gate 1 and gate 3 of kankaria lake, would not only provide additional attraction factors, but also give a new experience to the people 26

Fig: 7.14. Proposed altered route of BRTS

BRTS is planned at a city level, keeping in minddifferent factors of influence, but according to the survey carried out at the ward level of kankaria, it would be more economically sustainable planning a BRTS corridor from kankaria gate 1 to Raipur darwaja, which is beneficial for the facilities and would support the commercial needs on the planned corridor rather than being constructed on the geeta mandir road.

According to this policy, All these people who own or rent and earn by driving autos, cycles, and battery rickshaws, would be bought down under one common association where they would be educated about the pros of the policy and encourage them to get registered under this respectively. All the users of these proposed modes of transport would be having additional benefits of medical insurance, accidental claims, education facilities for their children, permanent job facilities, and a common hot-line to communicate to other drivers amongst the same category.

Fig: 7.15. Policy highlights of the organization for IPT

This proposal aims at integrating and increasing the impact of the intermediate public transport which would support the people dependent on these activities but also increases the transport facilities and support the people respectively

PROPOSAL 7.4 – RESLOVING WATER LOGGING ISSUE

A

hmadabad has average annual rainfall of 769mm. Every monsoon problem of water logging is happening and this is creating hindrance in smooth flow of traffic. In kankaria ward there are different locations where this problem of water logging is affecting the daily life of people . In this section we are trying to cover the storm water drainage system of the Kankaria ward in Ahmedabad city. Storm water drainage pipes for Kankaria ward along with neighborhood ward is designed in 2006 and it was completed by 2010. At present 10.2km of kankaria ward has been covered with storm water drainage lines. Total catchment area of ward is 2.65sqkm. Storm water drainage system consists of two types that is pipe drain and slab drain. Slab drain (of diameter 7-8’×6’, 4’×4’, 6’×6’, 6’×3’, 12’×8’, 8’×8’, 2-5’×8’), Pipe drain (of diameter 72”, 60”, 73”, 24”). After data collection we came to know that there is no major pipe drain going through the kankaria ward and by analysis we came to know the reason for it is before 2008 when kankaria lake was not walled all the rainwater was used to go in lake but after the beautification of lake it is walled and storm water was not allowed to drain into the lake, storm water network was designed in 2006 so storm water system was not designed taking lake development into consideration. Another reason for not providing major pipe drain is the land use, at the time of designing the storm water drainage network land use was different. Because of these reasons there is water logging problem in kankaria ward. Ahmedabad has annual average rainfall of 769mm (i.e. 30.28inch), that is creating problem for people every monsoon season and because of this property damage increases, its maintenance cost increases thus increases the overall budget and decreases the life of different properties. Many patches of the kankaria ward are having this problem of water logging that is making life of people living in ward or people passing through the ward difficult. So good connectivity of storm water drainage system should be there to minimize the water logging problems. We are trying to solve the water logging problem in three ways

Fig: 7.20. Map Showing Providing Permeable Cycle Track Source:

CONNECTING THE MAJORS

PROVIDING PERMEABLE CYCLE TRACK

As we got to know that there is no major pipe drains going through the ward and there is no connectivity between the major pipe drains, so we are proposing for connecting the two major pipe drains going near by the ward through Geeta Mandir road. After connection, flow in pipes can be reduced. By connecting these two the problem of water logging of patch of Geeta Mandir can be minimized

In this we are trying to combine the cycle track proposal to the storm water proposal. Providing storm water pipe line is always not the solution it is the basic thing that can be done, but we should think the other ways of doing it that’s why we are connecting two proposals so that we can take advantage of one and can use it for different purposes. We are proposing permeable pavement cycle track all along the main road. By providing this we will achieve two things one is storm water will go in drainage pipe after filtration, this permeable pavement will help in filtering the different pollutants another benefit which is a major one, and with the help of this we can recharge the ground water table. Some amount of water goes into the drainage pipe and some amount after filtration will go into the ground to recharge ground water table. Width of the cycle track will be 1.5m. This proposed permeable cycle track is proposed on the main roads having road width of 30m. This permeable cycle track needs to vacuum cleaned twice in a year so that its pores don’t get clogged. Cost for providing permeable cycle track will increase the cost only by 20% to 30%

Fig: 7.21. De-silting Of Pipe Drains Source:

DE-SILTING THE STORM WATER DRAINAGE PIPES De-silting the drainage or storm water line means removing mud deposits, pebbles and other waste gushing into the line along with rainwater. If not cleaned, the mud deposits pile up inside the line reducing the capacity of the storm water line. With silt in the line, its capacity to absorb water reduces. The city has 897km long storm water drain system of which only the 5km stretch between Naroda to Pirana has been de-silted. Only providing infrastructure is not the solution its repair and maintenance should be done time to time. So we are proposing de-silting of drainage pipes every year and also providing modern technologies and machineries to achieve this goal. Time to time de-silting and cleaning of storm water drainage system will increase the capacity of drainage system and will make it easy for storm water to flow through pipes in minimum time.

PROPOSAL 7.5 – REDIRECTING SURFACE RUN-OFF INTO THE LAKE

K

ankaria Lake is a major water body on ward level and also on city level. It is the biggest artificial lake of Ahmedabad and act as a tourist spot. Capacity of the Kankaria Lake is 48670096sqft. In monsoon water is full in the lake but during summer season due to evaporation water level decreases in lake as it is a major tourist spot of Ahmedabad it need to be filled and maintained, for that filling up of Kankaria lake has been done by taking water from bore wells. Due to this extraction of ground water for filling lake is affecting the ground water level. Ground water level was 63m in 1997 and an article of 2011 shows that water level in 2007 has reached to 100m, by this we can have idea of falling ground water level. So some different ways should be used to fill the lake without disturbing the ground water level. After data collection and analysis we come to know that at the end of subhash bridge there is a major problem of water logging so we are proposing for redirecting the storm water of nearby area in to the Kankaria Lake. By doing this we can solve two problems one is water logging and second one is of reduced ground water level. Storm water from the nearby area of Kankaria Lake will be collected through a drainage pipe. After collection storm water will be treated, for that we are providing subsurface infiltration trench. Subsurface infiltration consists of different layer of aggregate, sand, gravel of definite thickness to restrict the flow of pollutants like Greece, oil etc. into the lake. Without treatment it would not be right to direct storm water into the lake because it will carry many pollutants along with it. So subsurface infiltration trench can be a good choice to control the flow of pollutant into the lake. As it is installed in subsurface above ground can be used for different purposes like parking, gardens etc. we are proposing an auto rickshaw stand above it. We are proposing this subsurface infiltration bed in the vacant plot of one tree hill garden. By doing this we can use this storm water in a useful manner.

PROPOSAL 7.6 – DEVELOPING THE ROAD NETWORK OF KABADI BAZAAR

K

EXISTING

CONDITION

abadi Bazaar is there since last 50 years. It is popular for its cheap and second hand automobiles parts and also for selling useless automobiles. Initially maximum shops are ‘Kaccha shop’ but now all are ‘Pakka shops’. Inside Bazaar there are some common spaces where anyone can work with their mutual understanding of time. These spaces are left open for bigger activities like dismantling of trucks. There are two such markets in Kankaria ward named as ‘Kabadi Bazaar 2 no.’ and ‘Kabadi Bazaar 3 no.’. People who worked there come from nearby places of Kankaria. Working time is 10:00am to 7:00pm. Area of Kabadi Bazaar 2 no. is 25,000sqmt and there are approx. 210 shops; with amenities like electricity, water supply, approach road, public toilets etc. Area of Kabadi Bazaar 3 no. is 15,000sqmt and there are approx. 150 shops; and they also have same amenities.

As we can see the pictures the present condition of road is poor. And due to absence of storm water drainage lines water gets collected over the road (main in rainy season), which creates unhealthy condition for workers and other people.

OBSERVATIONS • • • •

Due to lack of services and water logging workers have to work in dirty and unhygienic conditions. Customers and shop owners find it difficult to access the road for transactions. After evening there is an in-sufficient light on road. Encroachment on road.

SELECTION OF MATERIAL Alternatives of Material of Roads1. Asphalt road – Advantages of Asphalt (Bitumen) Road • Economic • Recyclable • Easy maintenance • Safe • Life 3-5 years Disadvantages of Asphalt (Bitumen) Road • Durability: heavy rain and other extreme weather conditions damage the asphalt road, and the roads need to be repaired frequently. • Weather Pollution: Melting asphalt produces lots of harmful greenhouse gases. Also costly petroleum is required to produce asphalt

Disadvantages of RCC road • Paving cost: The paving cost of the concrete road is little higher compared to asphalt paving. • Maintenance Problem: In case the concrete road breaks, the whole concrete slab needs to be replaced.

least maintenance and has long life, we proposed RCC road construction. ➢ Alternatives of Drainage system • Slab drain line • Pipe drain line As we have to collect water and direct it with the surface drain off of main road, so we proposed Slab drain line.

PROPOSAL •

As there is a movement of heavy vehicles and due to loading and unloading of heavy parts of automobiles, road surface should be impact resistance. So we are proposing Reinforced Cement Concrete road. • Storm water Slab drainage lines which will be connected to main road storm water drainage line. • Street lights. • Road side pavement – After studying the working typology of Kabadi Bazaar, pavement should have following properties:

2. Recycled plastic road– Advantages Recycled plastic Road • MORE Strength than tar road • Used recycle product • Cost effective • Life 6-7 years Disadvantages of Asphalt (Bitumen) Road • Once the road is started to be used will cause the release of fine polymer particles. • Toxic present in the co-mingled plastic waste would start leaching. 3. RCC road – Advantages RCC road • Costly in initial investment but cheap in long run because of low maintenance. • Durability and maintenance free life • high load bearing capacity • Resistant to automobile fuel spillage and extreme weather • Greener process • Saving of natural resources • Life 20-30 years 33

During construction of half of the width of RCC road, rest half of the road is used for the access and is one way. Public should enter from one side and exit from another side.

Initially ‘Kaccha’ Road. Due to which there is difficulty in physical accessibility and water logging problem

Construction of one half of the road, during which another half will be used for access.

After completion of one half of the road in one patch, 2nd half will be constructed 34

urrently except Kankaria Lake there are no such recreational or open spaces within kankaria ward which satisfy the needs of public. Earlier there were many parks, playgrounds where people out of free time and interest could go and have community gatherings and increase the social interactions between each other respectively. But as time passed by and due to urbanization, so as to meet the growing needs of housing and other activities, these open spaces have been modified into other type of land uses like housing and office spaces accordingly. This has created an imbalance in the ward i.e. according to URDPFI Guidelines; there have to be minimum of 4-5 neighborhood level parks of an area 1 Ha. And when we analyze the existing scenario we can justify that kankaria apart for the city level recreational space needs open spaces of about 4 ha. The entry fee to kankaria lake is Rs.10/- per head. Currently the impression which we obtained by the survey of the people living in kankaria is that the people are not interested to pay for the facility which belongs to their own ward, their own place because it is like paying ticket to enter your own house. So, it is observed from the inventory survey that people from the entire city and even out of the city visit kankaria but the people residing inside kankaria award do not have interest to go and hangout at Kankaria Lake respectively. So to meet this demand we are planning to develop counter open spaces so that they would even meet the needs of the public of the ward and even would help kankaria environmentally (increase in the number of breathing spaces).

Fig: 7.33. Existing Open Spaces

Source: Primary Survey

When we study the kankaria ward spatially, it is clearly understood that the allocation of the existing undeveloped open spaces are located are in a dispersed way in the ward but are not together. So development of this needed lung spaces would not only encourage people to use these neighborhood parks on day to day basis but also would cater to the improvement of social interactions in kankaria. There are some places which have turned in to dump yards and the others are just left barren. ( Fig: 7.33). These areas have great potential to become community level parks for the near by residents. Here, we see the residential dominance in the ward. Nearly 70% of the ward has residences. We see that Kankaria is the only major recreational space nearby. People refrain from going there because of the entry ticket they have to pay every time they want to enjoy that place.

Upon primary survey of the ward, we have identified open spaces in the intervals of 500 Mfrom the lake which have the potential to develop and act as recreational spaces where children can go and play and senior citizens can enjoy a pleasant evening walk. The development strategies would be focusing at a complete restoration of the space with beautiful plantations, ample walking tracks, clean environment, well maintained street furniture, legible signage, tot lot for children, and a security guard for security reason who will be on duty for the entire day and also at the night.

Fig: 7.37. Well Organized Plantation

Fig: 7.40. Proposed Cycle Track And Connecting Open Spaces

Now, one of the major failure of cycle tracks is the Indian climate. It is so hot in the summers that nobody wants to ride a cycle and if given a chance they would prefer any other mode of transport other than the cycle. A solution to this would be to provide a complete foliage cover throughout every meter of the track which will help keep the micro-climate cool and provide 24 x 7 shade for the riders. As an indirect benefit, the increase in the foliage cover will help bring more rainfall and reduce pollution. With the supporting infrastructure this proposal would surely increase social interaction among the people of Kankaria. Fig: 7.38. Well Lit Parks

If development of such open spaces takes place, the people of kankaria will have a recreational space very close to their house and for those places where there is no such facility, we have tried to connect them to the nearest open space through a cycle track. This will interconnect all the open spaces among themselves and further connect them to the Lake. Any person at any time can easily reach any area in the Kankaria, safely on a bicycle Fig: 7.36.

here are the activities which take place inside Kankaria Lake. There is a lot of developmen which is happening inside kankaria lake development project and there is even more scope for future development too.After the lake development, the lake was walled and acted like a physical barrier of view and no contact between the ward and the lake could be retained anymore. When the lake was free, all the activities used to take place right adjacent to the road connecting the lake, which increased the livability of the space hand in hand with the popularity. But after the redevelopment, restrictions on vending activities. The lake is only visually open from this side i.e. people have visual access to kankaria lake but they don’t have physical access. If they want they have to take the ticket and go inside the lake for the other activities like the toy train, eateries and zoo. Walls only in this portion will be down and the opened up area would be accommo dating many activities like, the street vendors, entertainment activities and commercials accordingly. Lake has total of 6 gates in which only 5 are operational and one is closed

KANKARIA WARD DEVELOPMENT PLAN

Opening up of the lake in between gate 3 and 1 of Kankaria Lake is the best possible location because this is the link where it has been identified for increasing commercial activities in the ward, and it even has a link with the rest of the city which is at a direct access node. If the lake is opening in this location, there would be only one activity which should be open for the people unlike before i.e. the one tree hill garden Revenue generated from this single activity contributes to only 5% of the total 100% generated from the whole kankaria lake = this is the only one activity if made free would not have any negative impact on the economic ratios of the lake development. About 16% of the people visit Kankaria Lake only from the toy train and the other activities which start from gate 3 and not from the ones which are in between gate 3 and 1 respectively. This would not even affect the customers served or visitor to the lake The entire stretch between gate 1 and gate 3 has been designed at a zoning level. Depending upon the demand and the existing situation at the site, location of certain elements was strategically decided. Like, the Auto stand was placed at the northern side i.e. adjacent to the gate 3 where there is constant inflow and outflow of visitors to Kankaria. Also if we have an auto stand at the start of the street, people coming will stop there itself and the rest of the street will see no auto rickshaw movement which will indirectly reduce emissions and promote walking. Now, if we are talking about walking and pedestrianization, there are wide pathways, street vendors, well maintained street furniture, foot over bridges to promote walking in that area. The area under the one tree hill garden will remain the same and the only new thing that would happen is that it would become a free entry park for the people of kankaria. They can access the park from the street and go till the end of the boundary and also see the lake. All these developments happening in this area would bring more people towards Kankaria not only from the nearby places but also from other parts of Ahmedabad as well. The proposed Extension of the transit oriented zone will also add to the foot fall in those areas. When there is a visual observation of the space along the proposed corridor, it is observed that there is no ample social infrastructural facilities being provided for the people as well as the public modes of transport. Thus to make full use of the Kankaria lake development, and to redirect that impact on the surroundings, this project aims at growth of the development in terms of land values, commercialization of the space, to meet the growing demands of infrastructure and ambiance of the proposed corridor. Implementation of this project focuses on the significant change in the skyline and the infrastructure provided after all the proposed development happens. All the activities take place without interfering into one another but at the same time do not seem to be visually disturbing or separate. Increase in the FSI of the buildings, more urban design elements, development of streets and the connectivity are the tools used for implementation of these development strategies at Kankaria.
