WADALA | PLAN OF THE REPORT

1.1 | INTRODUCTION Wadala village is situated between one of the seven islands of Bombay that were joined together to form the modern day, Mumbai. The island was previously known by different names: Parel, Matunga, Dharavi or Sion. Wadala was earlier a hub for industries. However, as time passed by, it dwindled as an industrial zone and emerged as a residential hotspot.

Wadala has several schools and some notable institutions like Veermata Jijabai Technological Institute (VJTI), Institute of Chemical Technology, Vidyalankar Institute of Technology (VIT), South Indians Welfare Society College (SIWS), St.Joseph’s High School, and Auxilium Convent High School located near one another.

Wadala is also home to the largest bus depot in Mumbai. Wadala is also esteemed for its rich history with churches, temples, and Dargas. Former Asia’s largest IMAX dome theater is also situated here.

Wadala (East) houses two cemeteries, the Bahaʼi Cemetery and the Chinese Cemetery.

A number of housing colonies exist in Wadala. Some of them are Bhakti Park, Dosti Acres, Eucress, and Lloyd’s Estate. Wadala East also has the BPT (now MbPT housing colony), a large sprawling colony for the port workers complete with a hospital. Wadala Road is a station on the Harbor Line of Mumbai’s railway network.

In this report, the main focus is on understanding the neighborhood at an urban level. Commencing with the site and its context to locate the neighborhood on the map and then understanding the history and its development through various lenses and comparing it with the current scenario, there are three categories of the timeline. Several layers of maps are constructed to identify the characteristics of the neighborhood.

Issues of the neighborhood are categorized into different lenses for better interpretation, making strategies, and producing the master plan.

1.2 | APPROCH AND METHODOLOGY To understand the urbanscape of the neighborhood interviews, surveys, and several observations were done. The initial step was to identify the various housing colonies, informal settlements, market spaces, open spaces, commercial zones, cultural spaces. Many defining areas of ecological importance are the mangroves, the Antop hill & the salt pans. Diverse boundary conditions were looked at to understand the character of the neighborhood.

Interaction with people was one of the main processes followed to understand the neighborhood from the perspective of the residents. Interviewing people was the first step taken to understand the idea of the neighborhood, 6 residents were interviewed in total, 2 were from the informal settlements and the rest 4 were from the colony areas, then later survey forms were made and circulated to people of the neighborhood to get responses of the people from the same neighborhood but with different background and culture to get their perspective and the issues faced by them.

WADALA | PLAN OF THE REPORT

1.3 | LENSES To understand the neighborhood and its nature, various lenses were looked at. These lenses included Connectivity, Market, Healthcare, Safety, Sanitation, Ecology, and understanding the boundary conditions.

It was also inferred that these lenses do not impact the neighborhood individually but co-depend on each other to define the overall character of the neighborhood. These co-dependent lenses create different urban conditions of the neighborhood. Each lens was studied in relationship with another and analysed through a series of interviews, survey forms, and inferences.

CITY

The present-day city was built on what was originally an archipelago of seven islands of Mumbai island, Parel, Mazagaon, Mahim, Colaba, Worli, and Old Woman’s Island (also known as Little Colaba).

The islands were coalesced into a single landmass by the Hornby Vellard engineering project in 1784.

The Dadar-Matunga-Wadala-Sion suburban development was started in 1899 to relieve congestion to the south. Well-laid out plots, with mixed land-use patterns marked these sections. Completed in 1900, access to these parts were through the newly completed Mohammedali Road.

Mumbai, formerly Bombay city, capital of Maharashtra state, southwestern India. It is the country’s financial and commercial center and its principal port on the Arabian Sea. The city of Mumbai occupies a peninsular site on Bombay Island. East of the island are the sheltered waters of Mumbai (Bombay) Harbor. Colaba Point, the headland formed on the extreme south by the longer of those ridges, protects Mumbai Harbour from the open sea. Bombay Island consists of a low-lying plain, about one-fourth of which lies below sea level; the plain is flanked on the east and west by two parallel ridges of low hills..

Mumbai’s local train network is the oldest railway system in Asia.

The central line was first developed in 1853 as an experimental line till then.

The present-day Western line started to take form in 1867 when the BB&CI company constructed a line connecting Mumbai and Vadodara in Gujarat.

The Harbor line – named so as it served the city’s eastern harbor – commenced in 1910 with a line connecting Kurla and Reay Road. It started resembling its current avatar when the line was expanded to reach present-day Chatrapati Shivaji Terminus in 1925.

Wadala was once considered a central suburb of the city of Mumbai, but it is now well within the city limits. The area is bordered by Dadar on the West, Matunga on the Northwest, and Sewri on the South. The western areas of Wadala are covered by salt pans, which are on the shores of the Thane creek.

WARDS

In Mumbai there are 24 administrative wards under BrihanMumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC).

For the convenience of city administration, wards have been decentralized. Each ward has its own ward office with the Ward Officer who is responsible for the municipal services under his area.

All the wards are divided in a total of 6 zones for ease of administration.

ZONE 1 1.1 Ward A 1.3 Ward C 1.5 Ward E

1.2 Ward B 1.4 Ward D

2.3 | SITE The site plot that the report focuses on is the north-eastern part of Wadala. The east and west Wadala are divided by the railway line which runs from north to south. The west Wadala was developed in the 1920s under the Bombay improvement trust scheme. The plot is rough of 1.9km x 2.1km.

The Coordinates: 19.021632°N 72.86459°E From 2011 census data the population density in the neighborhood is 529,034.

The site comes in zone 4.

The postal code included in this zone is 40031 and 400037 and the edge of the M ward.

This report covers the Wadala East neighborhood from the Truck Terminus at the top to the Antop hill at the bottom end. The report is a detailed study of the neighborhood, understanding its history, the evolution, the characteristic of the neighborhood and how it changed over a period of time, interviewing people of the neighborhood from different backgrounds, focusing on various issues faced by the residents, exploring through different lenses, transforming the collected data into maps, sketches, etc.

RELATION WITH THE CITY

The site is located in the central-eastern portion of the city. The infrastructure at the city level that intercepts the site are the three road networks that run along the north-south axis, namely R.A. Kidwai road, the eastern freeway, and the old M.B.T Road. These roads also form the two boundaries on the chosen site. The only east-west connection to the city is through the Hume pipe road.

The railway line also affects the neighborhood as the Wadala railway station is a junction and connects the harbor line and the Trans harbor line.

The monorail network runs in the inner parts of the site and then connects to Chembur. It helps create a network to traverse to the southern part of Bombay till Jacob circle or to the suburbs, Chembur.

The new metro rail station is proposed near one of the monorail stations in the neighborhood(Bhakti Park station) which will connect the metro to mono connection till Thane.

The Bombay Improvement Trust scheme was developed up to the railway line and didn’t extend to the east. This allowed the neighborhood to develop independently creating a fractured yet peaceful place to live.

WADALA | GEOGRAPHY

3.1 | CLIMATE The climate of Wadala is a tropical, wet, and dry climate. The overall climate is found to be moderately Hot. Southwesterly monsoon winds flow from march to October and for the rest of the year, the winter phase flows from North in between November to February. Maximum precipitation happens in the month of July, August and September.

3. 2| TOPOGRAPHY Wadala has two hilly regions, one being Antop hill and the other being Raoli hill.

The spots marked in red on the map highlight the floodable zones in the east of Wadala.

In case the flooding happens during active monsoons, the residents are challenged with various issues, one concerning that of transportation.

WADALA | GEOGRAPHY

3.3 | WATER BODY The eastern part of Wadala shares its edge with the natural drain, from which various drain arms extend onto the land, the edge of the water body is protected by abundance of mangroves, which not only help in improving the quality of water but also by protected against floods. A major portion of this water body has turned into a cesspool posing health related problems to the nearby settlements. The clear negligence towards the existing water body has lead to a number of obstructive effects on the waterbody and its surrounding edges.

Some of the most prominent out of them are: • Storage capacity has been reduced over the years due to silting.

• Damaged weir has led to decreased water level • Natural rainwater channels are either blocked or diverted away from the water body due to housing.

• Weed coverage over 80% of the total water body area, harming the aquatic life inside.

• Poor sewage management system and open defecation in the area has led to sewage contamination of lake. • Water effluent and solid waste dumping by local community has contributed to diminishing water quality of the lake

3.4 | SALT PAN .Salt pans are crucial to Mumbai’s ecology as they safeguard the city against flooding. Salt pans spread over 1,781 acres in Mumbai. In the 2034 development plan, out of these, some are allowed to be developed, the state has been pushing to open up the salt pans for housing projects. The rapid expansion of state population and decrease in salt farming activity has also stricken the rapid demolition of salt pans and their conversion into buildable land space.

In Mumbai, salt pans are located at Wadala in central Mumbai, Ghatkopar, Turbhe, Kanjurmarg, Bhandup, Nahur, and Mulund in the eastern suburbs and Malvani, Dahisar in western suburbs.

What is a Salt Pan? Salt Pan: An un-drained natural depression in which water gathers and leaves a deposit of salt on evaporation

Source -https://lewiskellyarchitecture.files.wordpress.com The salt industries, like the flamingos, capitalise on the high salinity of the waters around Mahul bay. Salt pans line the coast of the city, geometric bath-like landscapes in which sub-soil brine is evaporated under the tropical sun to leave behind profitable salt crystals. India’s salt industries provide a large percentage of the world’s market, yet little is known of the workers behind the toil, who struggle with a difficult, harsh living on the exposed and unforgiving salt pans. Aside from the difficulties of minimal wages, the workers suffer terrible maladies from over-exposure to salt and intense physical strain; such as skin lesions, blindness, high blood pressure, knee injuries, back pain, and exhaustion. Their lives are usually short, and often involve a great deal of suffering and physical pain. Despite such back-breaking work, the salt workers are denied the privileges of common amenities, such as bathing facilities, good healthcare, or education.

There are currently 50 workers in the Wadala Salt pans of Mumbai’s eastern coastline, all of whom are low-caste migrant workers from nearby rural states. They live in Mumbai for 8 months of the year in temporary bamboo houses and have very limited or no access to amenities such as healthcare, education, and bathing facilities. The workers should be provided with gumboots, gloves, and goggles to protect them from high solar radiation. Simple machinery could be introduced for mechanized salt collection and piling.

WADALA SALT PANS 1900-1915 The entire Wadala east had an abundance of salt pans.

The original inhabitants of Bombay were namely the Kolis, Hindu Agris, And East Indian Christians.

Agris being the people working in the saltpans.

Saltpans – Means of livelihood of East Indian Christians & Hindu Agris of Wadala and the other neighborhoods.

The Salt Commissioner (Government) Brought up these saltpans from the local Agris and East Indian Christians by compensating the owners with a very basic amount.

Secondary Evaporation Pans

Crystallisation Pans

The production of salt in the salt pans, dependent on both the tidal timetable and the strength of the sun.

It is divided into different types of pans varying in-depth. The water is moved through the pans in a series of stages, evaporating incrementally under the sun until the salinity reaches above 100% and salt crystals form.

3.5 | MANGROVES AND WETLAND Wetlands are the most productive ecosystems on earth and perform several vital ecosystem functions.

They participate in natural elemental cycles, help in natural remediation of pollutants, stabilize the local micro-climate, recharge the falling groundwater levels and help prevent urban flooding. They are natural habitats to aquatic creatures, many of them are of economic importance.

Source - Author The natural water body has deteriorated owing to pollution from the encroaching slum dwellers, construction debris from infrastructure developing firms, and continuous neglect.

Solid Waste One of the biggest nuisances contributing to water body degradation is solid waste. It is generated from different sources which are: High-density slums have only two public toilets in the close vicinity, and two farther away. Hence, most of the people dwelling in slums resort to open defecation in the region.

Solid waste from slums gets dumped at various sites along the water body boundary.

Marine water and Sewage intrusion Water pollution from marine waters, sewage flow from the slums, small–scale industries are leading to degradation of water quality in the water body. Different polluting sources are: A few small-scale potentially polluting industries have been observed in the slums which are releasing their untreated wastewaters.

A drain flowing on the opposite side of the Sewri-Chembur road has two arms bounding the north and the south of the study area. These arms have been indicated in the Google Earth image.

Seawater intrusion through the south end of the study area during high tide brings in more nutrients and hampers the quality of water.

Construction Debris On the northern end, high rise buildings are under construction, the debris of construction activities have been dumped in the water body, considering it to be a free open land.

Deteriorated condition of the site.

2015

We see the site still being used for salt-pans probably serving as a source of livelihood of the neighbourhood.

Across the river on the other side, there was no development yet. Salt pan drains are systematically created that run along the entire length. Given the road on the south boundary is loose earth mound, the sub surface water is expected would have drained off to the nallah through it and finally into the river. As also, the sea water ingress across may have happened all across the length of drainage channel created to maintain the salt pan.

Site is no more seen to be used as a Salt Pan. Reclamation of land on north side is seen to have increased. Slum encroachment marginally increased. End of road and land near slum area widened and public toilet & solid waste dump area has come up.

The site now appears edge bound by compacted vacant land on north and concretised road and footpath on east. Slum infiltration has considerably increased from what is seen in year 2010. Site is observed to have 80% of water body covered with weeds and water samples tested clearly indicate it is eutrophied.

As we take a closer look at the Satellite imagery of 2005 and 2015 for comparison, in Figure 3.5, we see a clear transition of the salt pan land into marshy water body. The increase in slum encroachments would have increased the sewage effluent flow onto the site. The Revival of Water Body at Wadala infiltration of channel water from north side, which is faintly observed in the imagery of 2005, (marked as 1) is clearly blocked by compacted construction wasteland in 2015, (marked A). The concretised road and footpath on the east further leads to the containment of water. Leading to a water body creation. Beyond the road, on the east side one can see the already widening of river probably due to loading and resultant erosion.

Antop Hill is well known for the Central Govt. Housing Colony. The Housing Colony came up in the late 1950s and caters mainly to housing government employees working in Customs, Income Tax, Indian navy, Sales Tax, and other central government departments. The Kings circle station in Harbour line. Antop Hill is very close to Harbor Line - G.T.B.Nagar (2 KM), Wadala Road (2.5 Km) Central Line - Sion (3 KM), and Dadar, this place is accessible to all the railway’s lines in Mumbai. It also has excellent B.E.S.T. bus connectivity to all parts of Mumbai. Antop Hill has also connectivity with India’s first “Monorail” which starts from Chembur to Sant Gadge Maharaj Chowk.

Antop Hill starts from the Northern part i.e Kokari Agar Road near Antop Hill Church. The Southern end of Antop Hill has the Famous Barkat Ali Dargah overlooking the Nana Phadnavis Flyover. The central section of the hill has the Indian Oil Depot that rations out kerosene. Every morning hordes of bullock carts ferry kerosene across to the poor areas of Mumbai from this depot.

1909 The Wadala raiders were detained in the Worli Detention Camp as undertrials, whose number swelled to four thousand.

On 3 June 1930 these Wadala raiders were involved in a brawl with the Police, The Military was called out to cope up with the situation resulting into about ninety casualties. The way in which the raiders were dealt with by the Police, caused great public indignation and protest.

The increase in population from about 15 lakhs in 1941 to nearly 24 lakhs in 1951 within the city limits not only created intolerable densities of population in many localities, but also the city was getting rapidly saturated with built up areas. The last left over marshes and salt pans in Sion, Wadala were also invaded by residential areas in the fifties.

In order to reduce the transport load and the traffic congestion in Bombay and particularly in the busy areas, the Bombay Metropolitan Regional Development Authority (BMRDA) had prepared a scheme to establish a truck terminal at Wadala. The BMRDA had selected the premises near Wadala, popularly known as Wadala-Anik. The scheme for truck terminal at Wadala-Anik was sanctioned by the Government on 22nd April 1976.

5.3 | TRANSPORTATION Transport and connectivity in Wadala are in a developing stage and now, with the freeway, the eastern side of Wadala is well connected with the city of Mumbai.

However, the residents still face connectivity issues subjected to the neighborhood and its transport network.

Source - Author 37

A recent survey was conducted with the residents of Wadala, where the following points were noted: -The Hume pipe road is the only east-west transverse connecting road.

-The Eastern Freeway & Sewri Chembur Road connects Wadala East with the greater city of Mumbai but is mostly used by the affluent due to the poor public transport network.

-The Monorail runs along the main loop road and connects Bhakti Park to Wadala Station.

-Phase 2 of the Monorail also proposes to extend the monorail line to the Jacob circle (South of Mumbai) to connect it with the city.

-The east-west connection road becomes a bottleneck junction for traffic and flooding.

5.5.1. | MARKET The neighborhood of Wadala has local street markets and markets that cater to the gated communities within the complex. It has been observed that these street markets occur at junctions of the roads and scatter at various locations in Wadala catering to the communities in the immediate context. Two identifiable typologies of street markets were observed, one being at the junction of the road connecting the CGS Colony, the gated colonies, and the informal settlements and the other being the market that spilled onto the divider of the road.

TYPOLOGY A - The Junction and The Spread This street market caters to the locals living in the CGS Colony, the gated colonies, and the neighboring informal settlements. It forms a space for social interaction.

The market starts from the informal settlements as people living in these settlements put up their stalls for daily living. The market scatters as one moves towards the junction. The top left corner of the junction accommodates the parking for the CGS Colony, the top and bottom right corner has the market whereas the locals and the vendors dump the garbage at the bottom left corner.

The unorganized market, parking and waste disposal spaces lead to the congestion of the road and the lane.

The market caters to the locals in CGS and The Dosti Acres. The market has various kind of vendors from vegetables and fruits to electric repairs. As the road forms the main connection in Wadala east it is very busy, this increases the risk of accidents. Also the presence of a bus depot and absence of a zebra crossing adds up to the safety factor.The unorganized market, parking and waste disposal spaces leads to the congestion of the road and the lane.

TYPOLOGY C - The Market Within Other than that the typologies mentioned above, one can also see small markets and vendors that occur in the internal roads of the informal settlements. The informal settlements adjoining the internal lanes open up to be the shops and the market happens along the junctions of these internal lanes and in some places, it follows through the entire narrow lane. These markets and lanes also get activated during various festivals like Eid and Moharram.

5.5.2. | CULTURAL SPACES Wadala East has a very vibrant cultural background, then may it be in terms of the various communities living or the various cultural spaces.

(1) Sheikh Mistry Dargah The dargah of Sheikh Mistry is located at Antop Hill and is the oldest mosque in the neighborhood. It is said that the saint was an inhabitant of Egypt and had been to India on a mission to spread Islam. It was while performing his mission that he died on sixteenth Rajjab, some more than seven hundred years before.

A number of devotees flock to the dargah during the urus held at the dargah in honor of the saint.

The dargah is supposed to have been constructed more than two centuries before and a reference to it is found in Mr. Murphy’s map of Bombay in 1843.

The dargah measures 30.480 m2 (100’ X 100’).

However, the main shrine measures 18.288 m2 (60’” X 600) and is constructed of marble stone.

The urus of Sheikh Misry is held every year at Antop Hill in Wadala (east). The urus lasts for four days.

It is held to commemorate the death anniversary of the great Muslim Saint Sheikh Misry, who died on the 16th of Rajjab more than seven centuries before. About 50,000 people assemble at the urus.

Source - Author (2) Cemeteries At the foothills of Antop Hill, before the 1950S, one could see the English Cemetery, Chinese Cemetery, European Cemetery, RC Cemetery, American Cemetery, Brahmo Samaj Cemetery, and Bahai Cemetery. But now one can only see Chinese, European, Muslim, and Hindu Cemeteries.

Source - Author The neighborhood also has various other temples, mosques, churches and gurudwaras spread across in the informal settlements as seen in the Social Amenities plan (5.4).

(3) Walchand Bungalow Walchand Hirachand Doshi was an Indian industrialist and the founder of the Walchand group. he laid the foundation of India’s first Swadeshi shipping company, the Scindia Shipyard (rechristened as Hindustan Shipyard Limited when it was nationalized), Hindustan Aeronautics Limited, and Premier Automobiles. Walchand was building a factory to construct cement pipes that carry water underground and purchased a salt pan land in Wadala to lay the foundations of the factory there.

There was a hill, with four British-era bungalows very close to that location, and Walchand ended up purchasing them all—he wanted them to be places of rest, where he could live when he wanted to get away from the city.

5.5.3. |RECREATIONAL SPACES The absence of public and recreational spaces in Wadala east leads to the locals travelling out of the neighborhood to access spaces like the Five garden and Shivaji Park.

Source - Author The residents from the CGS colony, the neighboring informal settlements, and societies utilize the grounds in the CGS colony as a recreational space. Out of the open spaces in CGS, the Cement ground is a major attraction.

Even though the gated colonies have recreational spaces within the complex, they aren’t affordable as one needs to pay for it, thus locals prefer public spaces outside the neighborhood.

5.6 |SUB-NEIGHBOURHOODS The neighborhood is divided into distinct sub-neighborhoods which are rather inward-looking Unlike Wadala West, the east side is not a holistically planned neighborhood, all the sub neighborhoods have come in spurs and hence have not created any relationships with each other These sub-neighborhoods are physically divided by the main streets, however, the streets form very little relationships with the sub-neighborhoods.

• The gated society consists of 15 high rise buildings with 15-30 floors.

• The inward looking gated society which does not interact with any of its adjacent streets or with the neighbourhood as a whole, which makes it an isolated entity in itself.

• Absence of community spaces, gathering space within society, no space to jog or walk.

People usually use the Podium (parking area) as space to meet, play etc.

• During monsoons, heavy rains cause water logging in many areas, leading to increase in traffic.

• Hardly any presence of footpaths, leads to no street vendors, no street food, no space to walk.

• Has its own amenities & clubhouse strictly restricted to the people of the society, isolating themselves PRODUCED BY AN AUTODE from the neighbourhood

THE BOUNDARY A unique interface is created, where the sprawling settlements meet the dense vegetation. Such contact is found near the eastern side of Wadala. Throughout the years the human side has slowly crept into the mangroves, the invasion is not limited to just the exteriors of the built-up but also the waste effluents that are released into the adjacent site also hamper the quality of land and water.

The prior timeline depicts the slow but steady encroachment of the mangroves and the effect of human intervention on the site.

There arises a need to mitigate this sensitive edge, as well as ensure that it does not get entirely get blocked off by the public.

As one moves towards the eastern freeway, the pedestrian walkways and footpaths become quieter and isolated. The presence of the ‘Khadi’ area (local term) that has marshy land and mangroves, the truck terminus, and other barren plots present along both the sides of the eastern freeway makes the area in the vicinity unsafety. The absence of street lights adds up to unsafety. The plans of the Khadi area over the years between 2000 - 2015 were studied and analyzed. The study showed that how over the past few years, the land in the Khadi area was reclaimed and encroached further in by the informal settlements. It was also observed that there was a decline in the natural vegetation and mangroves, etc.

Source - Author The length of the edge of the informal settlements with the creek and mangroves is roughly around 1482m. The edge has now become a full fledge dump yard with drain arms entering the basti area.

WADALA | WASTE, CONTRAST AND HEALTHCARE

7.1 |WASTE DISPOSAL Wadala has poor waste management and sanitation infrastructure. The existing urban water conditions in the neighbourhood include poor management and collection of waste which results in garbage lying around in the neighbourhood. These conditions have been seen in the markets, along the footpaths, in the government housing quarters as well as the streets along with the informal settlements. The sanitation conditions like the public toilets need infrastructure improvements. It has been observed that the number of public toilets in the neighbourhood is less as well. It has also been observed that major waste disposal happens in Wadala east at the boundary of the CGS Colony and the informal settlements. Residents from the CGS colony as well as the informal settlements dispose of the waste in this area without any segregation.

Source - Author 67

A special urban condition is created by the waste where it forms a boundary between the CGS colony and the informal settlements where the land which comes under ‘vacant land’ in Mumbai DP 2034 has been turned into a waste dump with almost 500m of land covered in a wastedump almost 1.5m high.The amount of waste indicates that the waste hasn’t been disposed off to the dump yard in many years.

7.2 | CONTRAST It has been observed that there are various types of sub-neighborhoods, communities, and settlements that live in Wadala east. Even in terms of housing typologies, it has been observed that there are three main typologies being the informal settlements, the housing in CGS colonies which are further divided into the number of rooms per flat that depend on the post of the government official. The other typology is of the gated colonies.

In terms of ecology and the urban fabric, the L&T yard and the truck terminal just lie adjacent to the mangroves.

The industries and the housing colonies.

7.3 | HEALTHCARE Wadala east consists of the Sanjivani Hospital which is a government hospital that caters only to the residents of the CGS Colony.

Even though there is no hospital in the vicinity, there are few clinics in various sub-neighborhoods. The locals usually visit the Sion hospital or the KEM hospital in Parel in case of bigger emergencies.

FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS

WADALA |FUTURE DEVELOPMENT

8.1|METRO STATION ONGOING PROPOSAL

The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) will clear mangroves on a one-hectare (ha) plot at Bhakti Park in Wadala for construction of an elevated station of the 32-km-long Wadala-Thane Metro line.

“The non-mangrove wetland areas in the region were earlier handed over to private developers and now they are going after mangrove areas too. The BEST depot and truck terminal in Wadala have more than adequate space where a station can come up. This is completely unnecessary in our opinion,” environmentalist D Stalin of NGO Vanashakti said.

Mumbai Metro Line 4 from Wadala to Kasarvadavali is a 32-km-long elevated corridor with 32 stations.

The Rs 14,500-crore project is expected to provide interconnectivity among the existing Eastern Express Roadway, Central Railway, Monorail, and the ongoing Metro lines.

8.2|LODHA NCP ONGOING PROPOSAL

The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA), in fact, has plans to transform Wadala into BKC-2, a buzzing commercial hub on the lines of BKC. Homeowners at NCP are expected to benefit immensely from this decision, as property prices in the area are projected to come on a par with BKC. The prevailing rates today are at just about half of those levels.

Mr. Gautam Saraf, Managing Director, Mumbai Cushman & Wakefield, says: “The opening of the Bandra Kurla Complex flyover will improve connectivity and reduce commute time for many who come to BKC for work. This will surely give a big boost to office and residential markets in the region. Mumbai’s growing workforce mostly lives in Wadala, Chembur, and Sewri, which will connect well with the BKC-EEH bridge.

It will also connect BKC to South Mumbai. This corridor provides a great expansion option to the BKC office, now that BKC office buildings are running short on new supply and no further land plots are available for new developments. Large and ready developments such as Lodha Excellus will certainly see a rise in demand – especially as they have been blessed by large money investments from Tata and international partners.”

8.3|WADALA REGENERATION PROJECT CONCEPTUAL PROPOSAL

“Conservation means progressive development as much as it means preservation. The Wadala initiative aims at reviving a neglected site in Mumbai” Along with planning rehabilitation buildings for the slum dwellers at Wadala, I.M.Kadri Architects has had the opportunity to propose strategies to preserve and develop the surrounding region as well. A step one initiative was the conservation and regeneration of the mangrove fields at Wadala.

The proposal emphasizes on regeneration of 1.3 Km of the Mahul Creek in Wadala. The purpose is to examine the problems contributing to its degradation and develop solutions to restore it partially or fully and re-establish the attributes of a naturalistic, functioning water system making it a place of interest for the public.

The vision is to transform the channel front into a thriving, pedestrian-oriented, sustainable community space. To create a “people place” that is active, vibrant & accessible, and gives a unique identity to the region.
