ERSHAD NAGAR RESETTLEMENT Tongi, Dhaka, Bangladesh
YEAR OF CONSTRUCTION: 1974-75 LOCATION: Tongi, Dhaka, Bangladesh
BLOCK B
OVERVIEW: Ershad Nagar is one of the three resettlement camps constructed by the former prime minister Sheikh Mujibur Rahman in Dhaka in 1975. The previous name of this settlement was ‘Dattapara Rehabilitation Centre’. The camp was first established on an agricultural land of 101 acre (40.40 hectre).
BLOCK A
In 1984, when the country was under Military regime, President General Ershad first proposed for the semi pucca (semi permanent) houses and roads and changed the name Datta para to Ershad Nagar, which means the City of Ershad. OBJECTIVE: The intension was to provide housing for low income group people at 101acres of land.

BLOCK D
ERSHAD NAGAR BUS STAND
DENSITY: For all 3444 families, only 1116 houses were constructed at Ershad Nagar . Only 71% of the families are within the low-income category
BLOCK C
ORIENTATION: developed mainly along the east-west axis. COMPOSITION ACCOMMODATION: Each house was constructed for two individual families and each family had two rooms with a kitchen, pit latrine, tube well and an open veranda. The plot for each family was 8m X 8m approximately The other houses in the camp are much smaller in size with bamboo mat and tin at the roof. The main road of this settlement is 20 feet wide and the sub roads are 10 feet. For planning purposes the whole area has been divided into 8 different sectors TECHNOLOGY: external walls in brick, corrugated tin supported with timber posts. MATERIALS: brick, plaster of white color, colored fixtures made of wood, outdoor paving stone blocks.

PROJECT BRIEF Ershad Nagar still continue the extended family structure. This also indicate that the second generation who had born here and also got married did not move to other settlements and most of the cases they extended their dwelling spaces to accommodate themselves without making an extra burden for the legal authorities. Ershad Nagar only 71% of the families are within the low-income category
LAND USE PATTERN BLOCK C
LEGEND
Ershad Nagar camp is the most privileged settlement, since the inhabitants don’t pay rent and they hold larger plots than bustees.

58.20% of the families have two rooms; 16% also have more than two rooms but there is variation in the room sizes. As the room sizes are not equal in all eight sectors, the sizes of the houses are also different unlike the bustees.However, the majority has a room size of more than 60m2 and of course they include other spaces like veranda, inside courtyard and attached bathrooms within the living spaces Although most of the households have their own toilet facilities, 28% of the families do not have bathing facilities inside the house and 19.6% of them have to bring water from the outside.

PROJECT BRIEF
The project is located in Belapur, one of the main hubs of New Bombay, the twin city of Mumbai, the brainchild of Charles Correa and a group of colleagues in 1960 as a means to reduce the pressure on an old city physically restricted at the bottom of the peninsula between the harbor and the Indian Ocean (the subject of a huge and growing inux of people looking for work). Instead of further expansion in that area, suggested that colonize the undeveloped land on the opposite side of the large natural bay of the sea and to set up a line of communication between the city and the mother satellite. In this area, go down the hills forming a series of valleys characterized by large patches of vegetation. The district designed by the architect is in one of these valleys. The sector, which occupies approximately 6 acres of land, trying to demonstrate how the high-density (550 families and other services) can be achieved even with a low type of dwelling. His study, based on the observation of traditional Indian settlements, suggested that such intervention should be developed using a spatial hierarchy, starting from the private world of the individual dwelling and going through a series of common areas, came to greater public space, the Maidan. The geometry Belapur is therefore a direct interpretation of this synthesis. The project is then generated from a hierarchy of spaces. The ďŹ rst is the private courtyard of single dwelling used as a space for outdoor activities during most of the year. Subsequently, seven units are grouped to form a small courtyard town of about 8m x 8m. Three of these groups form a module from twenty homes that describes the collective space of the next scale (approx. 12m x 12m). This spatial hierarchy continues until it reaches the area of greatest neighborhood where the schools are located and other services. Along a diagonal through the site is located in the bazaar.

STATUS QUO
View of a typical cluster in 1986 (the year of completion) and 2012 (photo credits Rahul Mehrotra) View of the common space in a typical cluster. The low rise high density configuration of this housing type creates a great sense of cooperation between the residents (photo credit Rahul Mehrotra)
The project achieves a density of approximately 500 people per hectare or 100 families. On a 6 hectares site approximately 600 units are accommodated. Each cluster permits the emergence of a hyper-local community feeling, while integrating each house to the whole settlement at different levels; the hierarchy itself is very organic. The project was produced with the idea that the residents were going to alter it in various ways, making it truly their own, therefore homes are freestanding, so residents can add on to them as their families grow; and differently priced plans appeal to a wide variety of income levels. In the process of its incremental nature the project has also produced a fair amount of jobs in the construction sector with small scale artisans participating in the process of the construction work. The most important take away from the project however is twofold. Firstly it allows for a demographic mix and homes to grow based on income – incrementally. A mix such as this make for more sustainable communities and introduces the social as a critical factor in any determination of what might be a sustainable city. Secondly, the project shows the rich possibilities for design when there is a shift in the frame or scale of our gaze and the “compact” can also find a place in the broader regional planning dimension. Here the location and access to public transportation also demonstrates the crucial role that it can play in determining urban form. In fact, as illustrated by this project, public transportation is probably the best form of indirect subsidy on housing. For, it opens up affordable land in the region and in the process opening up new possibilities for an array of housing types. Thus resituating and giving architecture agency in the planning of the city.

LOCATION MAP
SITE MAP
In 1969, while the world was still looking for a tool to cope the urban squatter, Jakarta has started a right and bold step, to introduce Kampung Improvement Program. It is a right step, because the program is well accepted by all parties, the bureaucrats, the politicians, and most of all the kampung people. It is bold, because it was out of the approaches which were found in the planning text books. The program has been adopted by the national government as national policy, and over 500 cities in Indonesia has been similar program, it has also attracted international Agencies, such as the IBRD, which started to assist Jakarta government in 1974, to speed up the program. The consideration was, that the increase of population in Jakarta was so fast and big, due to the number of migration. In 1950 Jakarta population was 1.600.000 in 1960 was 2.900.000, and by the end the 60’s was nearly 4 millions. The urban population has grown faster than the national growth, so that the population of Jakarta within 1960-1971, the increase was 50%, comparing the national growth was only 22% within same period. The population pressure has been affecting the city fabrics, for Jakarta was planned by Dutch Government for accommodate 600.000 people (Jakarta Capital City Government, 1976). The ever growing population, was not matched by the human basic needs, such as shelter, causing problems like dense and low substandard settlements. Most of the migrants are poor and less educated, and they rely on their muscles. The settlements they build are also low in quality, occupying vacant lands, without considering land right, topography, and regulation. They are occupying river banks, railway sides, swamps, and even old cemeteries. It is ironical, that the poor have to plan and build their shelter by themselves, and Shirvani (1985) wrote, while design by designer continues to be luxury service, people all over the world have designed and build their own communities without the assistance of professionals SITE PLAN

CHRONOLOGICAL DEVELOPEMENT
An overview of the site’s chronological development over last 10 years will show us how an almost unbuilt area is about to reach its saturation point within a few years. The morphological development of this area over last 10 years has been drastic and was driven by the sudden boom of RMG and other industries in Bangladesh. The Diagrams shows the Street pattern, block pattern and the evolution of the vast green land.
In 2004, The ratio of built to unbuilt was very low. Most of the lands were used for agricultural activities. Built forms housed the supporting activities. A vast land was forests with dense foliage of trees. Very few industria buildings could be found at long distances.
Within 2 years the scenario has drastically changed. With the flourishment of RMG and other industries, Savar has become the perfect suburban area to house these factories. Industry Building started to be built on the banks of Dhaka-Ashulia Highway Forming an industrial belt along the highway. Housing of the workers of these factories became an issue.

Building Blocks
Agricultural Land
Road
In 2004, the settlements were mostly rural residential in type. Community facilities , like bazaar , mosque, restuarants were fewer in number. Density was on the lower side due to small population.
To facilitate the housing need of the workers forestry and agricultural land now started to turn into housing sites. Land owners build houses on their lands and rent them to the factory worker. Instead of agriculture, housing became the source of income for local people with adequate land. The growth of these housing is organic and incremental.
25-1-2010
To meet the ever increasing need of housing almost all the agricultural land turned into human settlements. Due to its organic character of growth, the lands are soon to be saturated but the housing need is incremental. Thus it becomes necessary to chalk out a planned housing scheme for the factory workers of these area ensuring a minimum quality of living environment and also allowing a controlled growth ofthe settlements.

Formation of node
In 2 years the scenario has drastically changed. Industry Building started to be built on the banks of Dhaka-Ashulia Highway Forming an industrial belt along the highway. Housing nd community facilities like bazaar, school college, recreational facilities, mosque etc offor the workers became necessity.
To facilitate these necessity, spontaneous market place or flee market started to form along the connecting vehicular road around the nodes. Other facilities like, school, mosque restuarants also built around the nodes.
In these spontaneuus formation of settlement, a buffer zone is visible between the industrial belt on the road side and the residential settlements. On the both side of the a road a visible buffer is maintained either by low lying farmland or water bodies to keep the industrial and residential settlements apart.

LOCAL SETTLEMENT PATTERN
During survey, a pattern in the growth of the settlement is found in Nishchintapur area. Almost all the housing are built on an individual property by the owners themselves. In this case study, A land of 5 kathas, owned by Mr Haoladar is taken into consideration. The land owner, himself built a housing of 45 rentable rooms along with his own residence on this land. The rent of the room ranges from BDT 2000 to 2800 per room. Three or more rooms share services like kitchen, bath and toilet. Each room has approximately 120 sft and rented to 2 to 3 persons. The construction cost of a 3 room module is approximately BDT 100,000. A plan of the total area and a section of a three room module is shown in diagrams.

Building types will not be directly derived from occupancy types. Rather every Building will have a combination of these units. This will create a harmony and balance in both the physical and social form of the housing project. However, a variation in the height and bulk of the building is required for better environmental performance and a hierarchy, The required density will be achieved by Buildings of three, four and ďŹ ve stories stated respectively as Building Type 1, 2 and 3. Total Occupancy = 5500 persons
