LITERATURE OVERVIEW Imagine a city that is more vibrant and livable, with higher-quality neighborhoods, and lower CO2 emissions per unit of activity. This city has lower combined transportation and housing costs. Its residents and users can access most jobs and services easily through a combination of low-cost public transport, walking, and cycling. It is able to finance improvements to public space, connectivity, and social housing by capturing value created through integrated land use and transport planning. Such a vision has never been more suitable for rapidly growing cities than it is today. Transit-oriented development (TOD) can play a major role in achieving such a vision. It embraces the idea that locating amenities, employment, shops, and housing around transit hubs promotes the use of public transit and nonmotorized travel. Well-planned TOD at the city level is inclusive, because it focuses on ensuring access to jobs for all social groups through public transit.

Architects - Perkins+Will Location - Vancouver, BC, Canada Architect in Charge - Ryan Brag Project Type - Transit Oriented Development Building uses- Retail, Office, Residential, Metro station (source- Archdaily)

INTRODUCTION Vancouver that has reinvented the concept of transit-oriented development (TOD) to one that is transit-integrated. Unlike typical TODs that are designed around or near a central Trasit hub, Marine Gateway seamlessly integrates a transit hub into the design of the community itself, creating convenient access. (source- Archdaily)

(source- Archdaily)

37


ABOUT THE DESIGN The first phase of a larger development, Marine Gateway is comprised of two neighbourhood plazas, 15-storeys of office space, a 3-storey retail podium, an 11-screen cinema, and two resdential towers at 25 and 35-storeys. Integral to the design is the integration of a Rail Rapid Transit station and bus loop exchange that provides convenience of mobility for residents, workers, shoppers, and visitors.

HIGH STREET • The project focuses around a pedestrian-dedicated ‘high street’ that offers retail, entertainment, and convenience shopping. • The design of the high street and public plazas were one of the most important aspects to the project’s success by bringing people into the pedestrian environment and into the retail spaces. • It also has green roofs and parks for pedestrians. • By providing a clear connection from transit to the neighbourhood’s major thoroughfare, the high street brings people into the pedestrian environment and into the retail spaces, creating a vibrant community (source - Perkins+Will)

(source- Archdaily)

(source- Archdaily)

CONNECTION WITH THE METRO STATION The connection to the metro station is provided through escalators from the ground level that directly lead to the station. The integrated transit station and bus exchange has experienced an estimated 35 percent growth in average daily activity in a single year. Additionally, the success of Marine Gateway has attracted the continued major development of the area. (source- Archdaily) SUSTAINABLE TRANSPORTATION Besides the extensive public transit options, Marine Gateway also supports other modes of sustainable transportation: Bike Mobility Centre: Operated by the City of Vancouver, this will be a publicly-accessible bike storage facility featuring bike repair services. Electric Vehicles Stations: Several parking stalls with charging stations for electric vehicles. Car Share: 3rd-party car share services will be available. (source- Marine Gateway)

4.2 WHY DELHI ? Delhi is one of the fastest growing cities in the world, reaching over 18 million this year from just 400,000 in 1901. In 2001 alone, its population increased by 215,000 due to natural growth and 285,000 through migration. By 2020, Delhi is expected to be the third largest conurbation after Tokyo and Mumbai. Delhi struggles with its rapid growth and is facing substantial pressure to improve commercial and residential infrastructure. Over the last 60 years, the urban footprint of Delhi has spread dramatically to almost 1500 sq.km and now extends into a National Capital Region that includes portions of the surrounding states. Much of this growth was accompanied by construction of highways and resulting in an over-dependence on automobiles for commuting. Since the late 1990’s, Delhi has invested heavily in Mass Rapid Transit systems - mainly the Metro Rail and an erstwhile Bus Rapid Transit System (now defunct) to reverse the traffic congestion and worsening air-quality. Post the metro investments, the development pattern in Delhi exemplifies development oriented transit (transit following development in Gurgaon, Noida etc) or transit adjacent development (existing neighbourhoods within the city benefitting from Metro options). Only recently in 2015 has the planning agency (Delhi Development Authority or DDA) made a conscious effort to develop a comprehensive Transit Oriented Development Policy to redevelop station areas and neighbourhoods along the Metro corridors. It is anticipated that the implementation of the TOD Policy guidelines in the pilot areas of the Metro corridor will arrest the highway driven spatial development model, and that areas within the city limits can then be densified.

Urban area of delhi and Surroundings 69


LANDUSE Delhi has experienced some of the quickest and most substantial urban growth in the history of the world. It has added approximately 20 million people over the past 60 years. Urban infrastructure development, including water supply and affordable housing, has not kept pace with urbanization trends, resulting in low service delivery levels and poor urban, public, and environmental health conditions. (source - Statistical Abstract of Delhi, Government of Delhi)

Delhi Master Plan 2021 (source - Delhi Development Authority)

DELHI MASTER PLAN 2021 The growth of Delhi has over the years has been on the ring and radial pattern with reliance on road based public transport. The development envisaged by the previous Plans was poly nodal with hierarchy of Commercial Centres located either on ring or radial roads. A major fall-out of this has been distortion between infrastructure, transport and land use. To achieve spatial balance, development should take place according to new corridors of mass movement. This has implications in terms of land use planning along the Mass Rapid Transport / Transit System. The proposed MRTS network will bring sizable urban area within walking distance from the proposed stations. This will have an impact on the existing structure of the city and consequently its development. This would not only help to solve, to some extent, the enormous problems of mass transportation, but would also generate a dynamic potential for growth and employment. This is particularly true for the Metro Rail System. In this context the MRTS corridors upto 500 m depth on either side from centre line of MRTS would require selective re-development and re-densification / intensification of existing land uses based on site conditions. This changed scenario provides opportunities for city restructuring and optimum utilization of the land along the MRTS corridors. In this process, a sizable proportion of the additional population with requisite facilities and employment can be absorbed along these corridors. (source -Delhi Master Plan 2021)

TOD RULES AND REGULATIONS (UTTIPEC, DELHI DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY) 6

TOD POLICY AND DEVELOPMENT CONTROL NORMS: Each TOD must have the following components: 1. Pedestrian & Cycle/ Cycle-Rickshaw Friendly Environment 2. Connectivity: Create dense networks of streets and paths for all modes. 3. Multi-modal Interchange: Mass transportation modes servicing the area should be well integrated to afford rapid and comfortable modal transfers. 4. Modal Shift Measures: Shift to Sustainable Modes by Using Design, Technology, Road Use Regulation, Mixed-Use, Parking Policy and Fiscal Measures 5. Placemaking and Safety: Urban places should be designed for enjoyment, relaxation and equity. 6. High Density, Mixed-Income Development: Compact Neighbourhoods for Shorter Commutes and Equity for All Sections of Society. 1. Street grid criteria for MT, NMT and pedestrians. 1. The maximum distance between two vehicular streets in a network should be no greater than 250m (C/C) at any point, with additional public access thoroughfares cutting through the block, as required. Therefore any block which is longer than 250m on any side, must provide a public thoroughfare for all modes, with additional public pedestrian thoroughfares, as required. 2. The maximum distance between two pedestrian/ NMT only streets in a network should be no greater than 150m (C/C) at any point. Any block which is longer than 150m on any side therefore, must provide a public thoroughfare for pedestrians. 3. ‘NMT-only’ streets shall be of width 6m or less, enabling only emergency vehicle access. 2. Primary pedestrian entry location of buildings. 1. At least one primary pedestrian entry to each building/complex to be located from the main street. 2. Primary pedestrian access to building or complexes should be located at the shortest possible distance from the nearest Station/ bus stop/ primary road junction. Where such entries are absent, they must be added. 3. Vehicular / service access should preferably be from Secondary Street wherever access to building is possible from multiple streets.

4. Minimum Mixed-Use Criteria: 1. At least 30% residential and 20% Commercial & Institutional use (min. 5% commercial and min. 5% institutional use) of FAR is mandatory in every new/ redevelopment project within the Influence Zone. 2. New/ Redevelopment projects with more than 1.5 FAR of Commercial use shall be permitted/ located only within the 300 m walking distance from the MRTS station (Intense TOD zone). 3. At least 50% of total street frontage length of any TOD project should have an active frontage, i.e. a mix of at least two types of uses with different peak hours of activity stacked vertically, to provide round the- clock ‘eyes on the street’. 5. Setbacks

6. Minimum Ground Coverage The minimum Ground Coverage requirement for all plots, blocks and projects within TOD influence zones is 50%.

7. FAR For any integrated scheme, a max. FAR of 400 and a maximum density of 2000 persons per hectare (PPH) i.e. approx. 450 du/ha is permissible. The entire amalgamated plot will be considered for calculating the FAR and density. FAR utilization shall not be less than 300. Mandatory EWS FAR of 15% over and above the maximum permissible FAR shall be applicable. 8. Parking Standards In TOD zones, the permissible ECS (Permissible Equivalent Car Spaces) per 100 sqm. of floor area is 1.33.
