CARTER ROAD WATERFRONT DEVELOPMENT

CARTER ROAD WATERFRONT

DEVELOPMENT
Site length – 1.2 kilometers.
road width – 18 meter wide.

• waterfronts are interface between city and water bodies of sea, river and lake.

• This is a unique formal urban waterfront constructed and maintained by the public
participation without the direct support of local and the provincial governments.

• It was constructed in the year 2002 initially, but become fully operational and
opened for the public use after the restoration in 2008 under the public space
reclamation project.

• The carter road waterfronts provides access to all the age groups, while it
designates spaces for recreational and health facilities.

• It appears that the waterfront is attracting people from all section of the society
both local and tourist alike, however there exists a few conflicts of local fishing
community and daily users of the promenade.
PURPOSE OF THE PROJECT:-
• Looking back into the history of Carter Road, it dates back to era of British Rule in India.

During that period several fishing communities from Bandra resided at this place originally.

• The area where the promenade is constructed was used by these fishing communities to
carry out various fishing activities.
• As the years passed the same area of promenade started to convert into construction waste
dumping ground. The accumulated waste and certain fishing activities had hampered the
environmental conditions and the natural mangroves plantation patches were damaged.

• So to stop further environmental degradation and also to increase the aesthetic appeal of the
area of the place the citizens of Bandra West locality also known as Bandra West Residents
Association (BWRA) came together.

• It was constructed in the year 2002 initially, but become fully operational and opened for the
public use after the restoration in 2008 under the public space reclamation project.
CLIMATE STUDY:-
• Mumbai's climate can be best described as moderately

hot with high level of humidity.

• Its coastal nature and tropical location ensures temperatures won't fluctuate much
throughout the year.
• Average rainfall precipitation is 242.2 cm.
• maximum average temperatures in winter is about 32 °C and in summer and 30 °C.
• minimum average temperatures in winter is about 25 °C and in summer and 18 °C .
• Surrounded by sea and creeks on three sides and hills in the northern side allows
the vapors from sea due to evaporation remaining in Mumbai's surrounding rather
than drifting away. This results in higher humidity in air .
