Examining the System of Automoblity in Mumbai

Research Question How do policies and infrastructure design perpetuate a System of Automobility in Mumbai?

Objectives Assess the environment within which the current policies and transport infrastructure are constructed and decipher their impact of the above in the context of sustainable transport.

Aim To understand the role of policies and infrastructure design in building a system of automobility in the city.

Scope and Limitations With its capital focus on parking policies, this thesis investigates the statecraft of automobile oriented development within the context of Mumbai within the framework of transport infrastructure policy and design in the city.

Examining the System of Automoblity in Mumbai

This system of automobility today is an uncontested product of liberalization reforms, in Mumbai, where it is established through soft inducements of building roads, parking minimums and most importantly an inter-subjective idea of good living.

Elika Sinha | PG180283 | Master of Urban Planning | CEPT University | 15


Examining the System of Automoblity in Mumbai

Local mobilization during the colonial period laid impetus on suburban railway transit and public trams

Background

This began changing post independence, as did the definition of ‘modern’ and ‘city’

Especially after the period of liberalization, the city of Mumbai had rampant privatization of transport taking place through the premise of its land use. Refer Pg. 8 to Pg. 34

For example in NTOD, AMRUT and JNNURM

• NTOD specifies the requirement of parking but no concrete manner of regulation- further citing the need for public parking lots • Both AMRUT and JNNURM have sanctioned projects that are not only construction centric but also ensure privatization of transport

to take place- through their project typologies

Studies designed to deviate from the approach undertaken are soon seen to incline towards the same cognitive bias.

• In the CTS 2008 and CMP, 2016 the first lays impetus towards increasing public transport but the second is seen to set directives for both public as well as private transport. Wherein the quantum of private is immeasurable and that of public is specific and limited. • The CTS predicts increased number of private vehicles, given the infrastructure trend, and the CMP concludes with suggestions and

recommendations for both public and private transport which, due to above cited reason, inevitably escalate private modal share Refer Pg. 35 to Pg. 68

3 Studies designed to deviate from the approach undertaken are soon seen to incline towards the same cognitive bias.

4 Development Plans rolled out finally did not follow the transit objective that it had initially sought to follow.

• The attempted change in the Development Regulations, according to TOD Zones, through FSI- was held back against the allegations of using TDR. These were changed back to the previous system- of low FSI- instead of being modified. • The parking regulations under both the EEDP 2016 as well RDDP 2018 were identical. Transit or no transit, parking has always

prevailed. Refer Pg. 35 to Pg. 68

Number of parking spaces is seen to decrease over time, however increased minimums are sought.

• This allocation of parking spaces was juxtaposed to the size of the apartment, was a logic that was neither explained nor pursued. • The prerequisite for parking was induced since the development regulations of 1967 and thereafter advocated further to perpetuate the presence of private modal share in the building unit of the urban form.

• This escalation is more prominent with exponential minimums. Refer Pg. 69 to Pg. 122

• The current exponential minimums for parking (LMV: 40 sq.m.; LCV: 65 sq.m. and HMV: 120 sq.m.) reinforce the above arguments • Further, only 1% to 2% of the city’s buildings go into redevelopment, and therefore follow the development regulation. The remaining stay unchanged and lead to parking spillage on the streets.

4 Other forms of incentivization include FSI and TDR received against road widening.

• Further, incentivization of road widening projects through TDR strengthen the hold of private automobiles over the city’s transport infrastructure as maximum road coverage is engulfed by them. •

Evidenced from the percentage road consumed by private vehicles on the road, as opposed to public vehicles.

Examining the System of Automoblity in Mumbai

In a land locked city where space is scarce and FSI crunched, 1,86,00,000 parking spaces essentially for stationary vehicles escalate the cost of that space.

Whose value is, and has been, depreciated by being excluded from FSI- therefore, making parking an obvious prerequisite and not a rare and expensive commodity.

Further, there is a minimum established (for public parking lots) but not maximum ceiling on the number of

vehicles or the area that a developer or builder can provide for- with the absence of the apex limit, there is no check on number of vehicles that can be provisioned for and further no limit on what can be ultimately capitalized

upon.

The total project cost of the project stands at Rs 12,721 crore. • Further, the BMC has allocated Rs 300 crore for the Goregaon-Mulund link road project, sister to the currently existing JVLR and

The neglect in allocation of expenditure towards public transport is evident .

• The BEST bus finds its share of funding from within the 3.8% of capital expenditure- allocated by the municipality towards solid waste management and transport- and remaining to be procured through their own profit model- which is always running in loss. • In the wake of these gargantuan investments a mere 50 crore is cramped in for footpath repair.

• Construction centric, the city expenditure follows the principle of permitting the inclusion of market oriented activities- which consists of various private groups- in transport infrastructure. • However, it is noticed that not only do all projects dissuade public modal shares, but they also opt instead for activities that can build

private models of profitability. Refer Pg. 123 to Pg. 146

It is evident from the facts stated that Mumbai has developed a car culture that had previously never been inherent to its making. Ample evidence iterates that it has accomplished the task and endeavors to ingrain as well as expand the said dictum exponentially.

Examining the System of Automoblity in Mumbai

01 Cognitive Bias • Evidently a collective cognitive bias among officials who design policies. • It is crucial to understand the types of bias that prevails to be able to overcome it.

A Solution for a Collective Cognitive Bias

02 Cost Benefit Analysis • To escape the bias that prevails, a cost benefit analysis must be conducted. • The inclusion of sustainable mobility in the discourse is vital in the given context.

03 Diversify Recommendation Groups

Refer Pg. 147 to Pg. 156

• Evidently a cost benefit analysis would fail if the biased group alone directs transport investment decision. • Conduct an open public discussion, including all stakeholder groups, before undertaking a transport infrastructure project could improve its credibility and obstruct any bias.

01 Demand and Supply Loop • Excessive supply to demand has ultimately increased demand.

02 Parking must be mandated under FSI Restrictions in Freedom, Policy Design

• To stop freedom of building excessive parking as a prerequisite to built form.

03 On-street Parking Charge • High on-street parking charges levied could stop commuters from using individual vehicles.

04 Congestion Charging • Vehicle charge in the city is levied only once, during registration. • A mechanism to meter the time the vehicle spends on the road and charges against the same could also alter modal preferences. Refer Pg. 147 to Pg. 156

01 Construction Centric Projects • The city views its private sector involvement in construction centric projects that escalate the presence of private modal shares in the city. • These include flyovers, bridges, etc. • Citing a need for equitable investment in public transport.

Centralize Profitable Investment outside construction

02 Public Transport Service • A shift from construction centric to a transport service investment is required. • This would help to not only introduce competitive innovations but would also provide area for improvement of image of public transport in the city- through, for example, marketing strategies pursued.

03 Management and Execution

Refer Pg. 147 to Pg. 156

• Evidently the above has often been a predicament for the government authorities due to staff shortages. • Private investment could be brought into the sphere to employ technological innovations to bridge the chasm. Elika Sinha | PG180283 | Master of Urban Planning | CEPT University | 103

They paved paradise And put up a parking lot.�
