15. UNDERSTANDING THE POTENTIAL
1EXTRANEOUS DEVELOPMENTS – INTRODUCTION OF METRO RAIL
• Introduction of the Metro Rail is set to
dramatically alter the urban fabric of
the study region.
• This development brings with it an exponential
rise in FSI to 4.
• Existing densities (population, employment,
visitors) will rise as a result, as
will pressure on public infrastructure.

1. Pedestrian mobility :
• Almost all pedestrians find it difficult to cross JM road and FC road
• The existing pedestrian pathways would be drastically inadequate in catering to
future needs and require due attention

• A majority of all users utilize their own private means of transport
• Existing parking facilities barely suffice current needs, and fall far short of future
needs.

STRENGTHS WEAKNESSES OPPPORTUNITIES THREATS
1 Abundant Greencover Pedestrian movement difficult/ Low
percentage of pedestrian pathways
Metro as major transport node,
will attract big investments
Introduction of Metro will change densities
dramatically. Poor planning will lead to chaos
2 Standardisation of plot divisions due
to TP scheme
No easy accessibility / movement for
differently-abled and elderly people
Existing pathways can connect to
create efficient pedestrian
network
An elevated metro rail will destroy the
existing green cover on JM Road
3 Large commercial component
ensures inflow of people and money
Public parking insufficient Availability of space for
streetscape
Increase in the inflow of vehicles
4 Healthy mix of landuses Poor connection to public transport
facilities
Old buildings , easy interventions Small individual land holdings difficult for
post metro , high density development
5 Presence of major urban magnets -
Education, Commerce, Culture,
Recreation,Administration
Crossing on JM & FC roads difficult due
to one-way traffic movement
Large portions of 'unbuilt' areas
in education campuses could be
freed
Changing land uses , leading to higher
densities, pressure on public infrastructure
6 Efficient road network Insufficient street lighting in some
areas
Preserving green cover Weakening 'City Centre' status as new
centres emerge in city fringes
7 Cosmopolitian population Lack of street furniture Sambhaji Park can develop as
major recreational facility
8 Presence of Sambhaji Park - major
green zone/public space
Lack of signages / way finding Use of River for recreation
9 In state of change , therefore easy to
intervene
Incompatible uses on Apte road :
Marriage halls situated next to Schools
Use of River for transport
10 River running along edge Hapzard public utilities on pathways
amount to dangerous situations
11 Irregular garbage collection
12 Poor storm water drainage
13 Visual pollution, hoarding etc.
14 No proper road markings
15 No proper river edge development

22. FORMING ISSUES AND TARGETS
1MAIN ISSUES
MOBILITY
• Facilitation of smooth pedestrian movement
• Accessibility for differently-abled and elderly citizens
• Re-configuration of JM Road and FC Road, to enable easy crossing
• Easy access to public transport facilities
VEHICULAR MOVEMENT
• Providing sufficient parking for incoming vehicles
• Clearly defined road edges and signages for road safety, and facilitate smooth flow of
vehicular traffic
PUBLIC SPACES AND NATURAL ELEMENTS
• Creation of more neighborhood and public spaces, scales ranging from small street furniture
to large public plazas
• Preservation of existing trees on JM and FC roads

23. SHORT TERM INTERVENTIONS
1BREAK AND MAKE_MAKING PEDESTRIAN PATHWAYS WHEELCHAIR FRIENDLY
PRE-CAST RAMP
BREAK-AND-MAKE
• Introduction of a Pre-cast ramp can help make all pedestrian pathways accessible for elderly/ differently-abled/
wheelchair-bound citizens

24. SHORT TERM INTERVENTIONS
2DE-CLUTTERING THE URBAN_PRE-FABRICATED UTILITY BOXES
• Pre-fabricated boxes can replace the existing red boxes on pathways, and can be housed
within the compound walls of adjoining plots
• Incentives would be offered to plot owners in exchange for use of their property edges.
CASE 1 : COMPOUND WALLS ADJOINING PRIVATE PLOTS CASE 2 : OPEN SPACES / WIDE PATHWAYS / PLAZAS

25. SHORT TERM INTERVENTIONS
3STREET-SCAPING_RE-CONFIGURING THE TREE-PLANTERS ON JM ROAD
• Precious street-space can reclaimed by re-configuring the tree planters
• This would house street furniture, utilities and also serve as much-needed breather spaces
along JM Road
AREA RELEASED FOR STREET-SCAPE 405.5 Sq.m. / 4365 Sq.ft.

26. MEDIUM TERM INTERVENTIONS
1NEW PEDESTRIAN NETWORK
Pedestrian Movement and Safety are the biggest livability issues
emerging from the study. A network facilitating movement
through the area would enhance the user’s experience and also
boost economic activity though clever use of Soft Areas.
MAIN FACTORS :
1. Plot setbacks are treated as soft areas, and are carved where
required
2. Soft areas are brought into use as open public plazas or
simple neighborhood parks and activity centres, and are
connection points of the New Pedestrian Network.
3. Utilities, ATM centres, Kiosks would be located along the
network to increase usage of the network and ensure safety
of all users. Small police posts would also be located at
regular intervals.
4. The network would change character depending on the
urban conditions surrounding it, ex., Public Plaza in
Commercial Areas, and quiet, landscaped pathways along
Residential Areas.
5. The network would also cater to cyclists, and the required
support facilities would be provided.
AREA OF SOFT AREAS : 52053.47 Sq.m.
* Based on condition of buildings, land ownership, wastelands, pre-construction plots, slums
