1. City and Regional Setting of Navi-Mumbai

Navi Mumbai is a planned township off the west coast of the Indian state of Maharashtra
in Konkan division.Since it is a planned city, it is well equipped with the state of art
facilities specially related to urban services like solid waste management, public transport,
healthcare facilities, sewage treatment, well established road network, efficient storm
water management system and many more. Navi Mumbai recorded a decadal population
growth by more than 51% between 2001 and 2011.Various multinational corporations like
Siemens, McDonald's, Morningstar, Inc., Baker Hughes, Bureau Veritas, Bizerba,
Reliance, Accenture, and Larsen & Toubro have their Head offices/branches across the
city, making it an active business hub.

Navi mumbai is part of Mumbai metropolitan region consist of 2 municipal cooperation

Navi Mumbai came into exisistance in January 1,1992 Total Area 108 sq.km Navi
Mumbai also has various recreational facilities such as a Golf Course, Central Park and
Pandavkada Water Falls in Kharghar, Parsik Hill near CBD Belapur, Wonders Park and
Jewel of Navi Mumbai in Nerul and Seawoods, Mini Seashore Juhu Chowpatty in Juhu
Nagar (Juhu Gaon), Sagar Vihar in Vashi, Pirwad, Nagav,Karnala Bird Sanctuary near
Panvel, and several other public places like gardens and jogging tracks.

2. CLIMATOLOGY & TOPOLOGY
The growth of Mumbai city is constrained by sea at south, east and west. As a result total land area
available for development of Mumbai is limited. Hence, developmental planners, in late 1960, started
exploiting alternative for dispersal and control of Mumbai population. Eminent architects, Charles Coria,
Shirish Patel and Pravin Mehta suggested Navi Mumbai as alternative to Mumbai.
Navi Mumbai has been developed as a planned city, a counter magnet for Mumbai. It has been developed
as an independent, fully self-contained metro city. Navi Mumbai is the world's large, totally planned, well-
balanced, modern city. Navi Mumbai has been planned and developed by CIDCO to meet the
infrastructural needs of a modern metropolis.
CIDCO is a State Public Sector Undertaking registered under Companies Act in March 1970. CIDCO
prepared developmental plan for Navi Mumbai covering 95 villages from Thane and Raigad district
covering total area of 343.70 sq km. . This was approved by the Government of Maharashtra in August
1979.
Navi Mumbai temperature varies from 120 C to 430 C. In winter temperature is between 120 C to 300 C
while summer temperature ranges from 300 C to 430 C. Out of total rainfall, 90 % rainfall is experienced
during June to September. Monthly average humidity ranges from 61% to 86%.
Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC) has set up a continuous Ambient Air Quality Monitoring
Station (AAQMS) at fire brigade premises at Vashi, Koparkhairane, Airoli and Sanitary landfill site at
Turbhe which daily collects meteorological data. Based on station observations, predominant wind
direction in Navi Mumbai is south-west in monsoon and north-east during rest of the year.
The NMMC will manage the disaster situation without intervention from the State authorities. With an
RDMC (Regional Disaster Management Cell) and 2 Control Rooms, Micro-level plans at ward level have
been prepared for all the 8 wards incorporating specific responsibilities of ward officer who will act as
Ward Disaster Manager.
NMMC has established Disaster Management Cell at two locations in NMMC area. The functions of the
Navi Mumbai Disaster Management Committee are:
• Ensure effective inter-departmental co-ordination between all departments
• Provide policy decisions when required • Keep the government informed about disaster situation.
• Review disaster related activity reports received from NMMC Control Room, Police Control Room and
Army Control Room and provide appropriate directions• Co-ordinate the activities of lateral, and Central
Government agencies like Defence Services, SRP, RPF, Coast Guards, CISF ,MTNL, AAI, Port Trust,
FCI, DD, AIR Meteorology Dept, MPCB, BARC

3. EXISTING LAND USE

Figure 1 Existing Land Use

12
Land use change is considered as fundamentally important factor in determining range of physiological,
ecological, social and climatic consequences. In major metropolitan cities, diversion of forest land for
creating housing and industrial infrastructure is one of the major trends in land use change. Thus, the
physical changes on forest cover/natural areas also have implications on climatic conditions.

Figure 2 Mangrove in Navi Mumbai

4. MANGROVE

The word “Mangrove” is considered to be a combination of the Portuguese word “Mangue” and the
English word “grove”. Mangroves are salt-tolerant plants of tropical and subtropical intertidal regions of
the world. The specific regions where these plants occur are termed as ‘Mangrove Ecosystem’. These are
highly productive but extremely sensitive and fragile. Besides mangroves, the ecosystem also harbours

13
other plant and animal species.
Anthropological pressures and natural calamities are the enemies of the ecosystem. Growing industrial
areas along the coastlines and discharge of domestic and industrial sewage are polluting these areas.
Experiences have proved that the presence of mangrove ecosystems on coastline save lives and property
during natural hazards such as tsunami, cyclones, storm surges and erosion. These ecosystems are also well
known for their economic importance. They are breeding, feeding and nursery grounds for many estuarine
and marine organisms. Hence, these areas are used for captive and culture fisheries.
Mumbai & Navi Mumbai, has between 35 and 45 square kilometers of mangrove forest. This is all that
remains after almost 70% was destroyed in land reclamation projects, according to Debi Goenka, a
Mumbai-based environmentalist.

4.2. Mangrove form the City Perspective

Mangroves are the first line of defence for coastal communities as they stabilize the shorelines and are a
natural barrier against these calamities. Mangroves act as a buffer zone between land and sea and protect the

14
land from erosion and play an important role as a protective shield against ecological disasters like flooding,
cyclones, and other natural calamities. Robust mangrove forests are natural protection for communities
vulnerable both to the sea level rise and the more intense and infrequent weather events caused by climate
change. This is particularly significant for Navi Mumbai due to its geographical location.

4.3. Degradation of Mangrove

Debris dumping is a serious issue for the city’s wetlands and mangroves. The dumping is carried out in
mangrove areas and holding ponds creating a pressure on these areas. Mangrove areas are an important
habitat for migratory birds such as flamingos and other wader bird species which visit the city during the
winter season. Dumping of debris in these areas will impact the activities of these birds, possibly causing
them to migrate to other areas. New projects are also one reason behind degradation

6.1 Land Usage

the land use pattern of the city consists of Built up area, agricultural land, forests, wastelands, water bodies, roads,
and so on

Government of Maharashtra had identified total area of 343.70 sq km for Navi Mumbai

NMMC jurisdiction is spread across 108.63 sq. km

Majority of the area (56.16%) is built up area which accounts to about 61.01 sq. km. This comprises residential,
commercial, industrial, administrative constructions and infrastructure such as crematoriums, water supply,
sewage disposal, roads, and railways. Wetlands are an important feature of the city with 13.46 sq. km area under
lakes, rivers wetlands, creeks, mudflats and manmade water bodies.

Navi Mumbai consists of several water bodies such as 24 lakes, dams, creeks, ponds, wells.

21
At present, agricultural activity is limited to only about 1.4 sq. km.

Housing ward wise distribution

It can be clearly observed from the above figure that almost
3/4th of the total area in Turbhe and Vashi is built up area which
indicates that the population density in these areas is higher
compared to other areas.

Built up area is an important land use for any city. More than
50% of the area in Navi Mumbai is under built up area for
Residential, Commercial, and Industrial purposes in each node.
Residential area comprises of majority of the built up area of the
city to accommodate the ever increasing population. The built
up area in the city is also under various infrastructural
development projects such as roads, railways, WTP & STP (Water and Sewage Treatment Plants), SWM (Solid
Waste Management) & so on.

Navi Mumbai city has a good area under tree cover. A study by NASA (National Aeronautics and Space
Administration) indicates that it takes 17.5 trees per person to produce sufficient oxygen for survival but it takes 20
trees per person to consume the CO2 each person generates37. Thus trees play a vital role in regulating the city
environment and maintaining a proper balance.

Population and property trend

The population of Navi Mumbai as per the Census 2011 is around 11.20 lakhs (11, 20,547) as compared to
population of 2001 which was 7.03 Lakhs (7, 03,947). In the last 10 years, the city's population has grown to more
than 1.6 times, as can be seen in Figure above. The population growth rate in Navi Mumbai is very high due to
influx of migratory population which could be attributed to
ample job opportunities, higher income leading to better
lifestyle, and other facilities available in the city. It is projected
that the population of Navi Mumbai might reach 1.8 million by
2021, and about 2.38 million by 2031

NMMC has seen a considerable increase in its population over

the years, which has resulted in an increase in usable floor

22
space to accommodate the population. A rise of 31% in the number of properties can be observed in the 7 year
period since 2007-08 as shown in figure below. The increase in residential properties is significant. For the year

2013-14, out of total properties of 277622, 80% of the total properties consist of residential buildings followed by
commercial buildings with a 18% share and the MIDC commercial properties with the least share of 2%. Such an
increase in new constructions could impact natural resources in future.

Price trend and inventory

Navi Mumbai with an average price of INR 6,800 per sf (on BUA) is surely an affordable market compared to the
average priced INR 10,500 per sf in MMR.
As it acts as a central location connecting Mumbai, Thane and Pune, preference of buying a house is increasingly
attracting consumers to Navi Mumbai. Moreover, its seamless connectivity to major areas of Mumbai make it a
favoured residential destination for those professionals working in the island city.
The focus of the industry has shifted more towards the completion of their ongoing projects rather than launching
new ones and to comply with the new policies.

Slum
Navi Mumbai has been developed as a planned city. As a result the population
residing in slum areas is much less than the other urban areas of India. However, the land
acquired for development of Navi Mumbai earlier had many villages. Also, in order to meet
requirement of labour in construction, industry, domestic servants, trade and commerce,
an employment seeking population has migrated to Navi Mumbai. Due to low income levels,
such population resides in slum areas. While the percentage of population residing in slum
areas is insignificant (less than 2 percent) in developed zones like CBD-Belapur, Nerul, Vashi,

7. SOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE
7.1 Introduction
The quality of life in any urban Centre depends upon the availability of and accessibility to quality social
infrastructure. These include the following infrastructure:
i. Education facilities
ii. Healthcare facilities
iii. Socio Cultural facilities
iv. Recreational facilities
v. Sports Facilities
vi. Distribution Services
vii. Police Safety

7.2 Provision of Social Infrastructure

Hierarchy: In distribution of infrastructure, population plays the guiding role. In some cases depending
upon the regional requirements, a higher order facility becomes necessary in a lower order settlement.
Location of social infrastructure should be decided by local authority taking into account walkable
distances. Maintenance of such micro‐level facilities should be, as far as possible, handed over to RWA /
housing co‐operative societies with the provisions of direct involvement of women.

Proximity: The local community participation should be encouraged, especially women, in management of
the local level facility units to promote efficient utilization and upkeep of the facilities. These local level
facilities shall be provided at a preferable 300 m to 800 m walkable distance (located within 5‐15 minutes)
to promote pedestrianisation and reduction in vehicular use.

Multiple uses: The multiple uses can be for private and public owned land/properties. The possibility of
multiple activities in public facilities should be considered such as in case of bus terminal, the above floors
can be provided for use of staff residential, post office, courier services, ticket booking offices, retail
markets etc.

Utilisation threshold: It is observed that the built up facilities for social amenities are often underutilised
and lie vacant. Hence, 80% utilization of existing facilities can be considered for a new facility for a similar
use in a particular area.

Self- sufficiency: The facilities should be designed for self‐sufficiency and should also be able to generate
revenue by selling of surplus resources.

26
7.3. Healthcare facilities
The size of a hospital depends upon the hospital bed requirement, which in turn is a function of the size of
the population it serves. As per the Indian Public Health Standards (IPHS), 2012, the calculation of number
of beds is based on‐
 annual rate of admission as 1 per 50 population
 average length of stay in a hospital as 5 days

7.4. Hierarchy of healthcare facilities

7.6 Socio- cultural and recreational facilities
Provision of socio – cultural and recreational facilities is directly proportional to the Standard of
living. Parks and protected public lands are proven to improve the quality of the air we breathe,
provide vegetative buffers to development, produce habitat for wildlife, and provide a place for
children and families to connect with nature and recreate outdoors together. They generate money
for the local economy
The main objective is to provide facilities for both passive and active recreation to meet the needs
of all Imperial County residents. In the Existing Land use, open spaces contribution is only 0.2%.
The open spaces can include the following three categories, namely:

Police station
There are 20 Police stations present in Navi Mumbai which are-
i) A.p.mc Police Station
ii) Vashi City Police Station
iii) Kharghar Police station
iv) Panvel Police Station
v) C.B.D Belapur Police station

The Overall ward is safe for living and the crime rate is very less. Cases of Pocket Picking, Vehicle
theft and vehicle part theft are recorded in the area.
Observations:
The area has large number of open spaces (Private as well as public).Is spatially developed & the
area has 199 gardens covering 7.62lakh Sqm. The famous park is situated along the Palm Beach
road. It also consists of:-
15+ Hindu temples|3 Mosque
4 budh vihar|1 church
Majority of people living in the areas are Hindus, so there are sufficient amount of temples in this
area
Provision of socio – cultural and recreational facilities is directly proportional to the standard of
living. According to URDPFI Guidelines, Religious Facilities of 400 sq. m. for population of 5000
at neighborhood / housing cluster level should be provided. For medium town the open spaces
shall be provided at the rate of 1.4 to 1.6 ha per 1000 persons, facilities like community halls etc.
can be merged with the open spaces to suit their social requirements. A Sub fire station/ Fire Post
of 0.6 Ha is required within 3‐4 km radius to cater the demand during emergency.

9. TOURISM AND HERITAGE
Heritage Assessment is necessary to identify practical and achievable objectives, strategies to
protect and manage historic places. Main objective is to inform broader development in the city
and promote awareness of local heritage in the community. Navi mumbai has the potential to
develop tourism and related activities.
In the meantime, two heritage spots have been identified with historic importance, viz: Covers an
area of around 119 hectares. Includes Themes Park, jogging tracks, Ground, sports clubs, botanical
garden & amphitheaters along with active and passive recreation areas. The 2 Km stretch of Mini
Seashore is an excellent all-season getaway. The essence of this place is that it is a well-known
hangout for all age groups. It keeps buzzing with activity throughout the day. Pandavkada
Waterfall, apart from being a natural splendor, has some strong mythological connections as well.
It is said that this waterfall has been named after Pandavas who once took bath below this waterfall
during their exile. The fort was built by the Siddis of Janjira. It was later conquered by the
Portuguese, and then Marathas. It is located atop a hillock. It lies in a dilapidated state. Plans are
underway to renovate the fort.

Corporation ply through Navi Mumbai. NMMC Transport undertaking has 176 buses catering to
44, 50,009 per month (Table 10.1.3). There are over 6.41 lakh vehicles registered in Thane district
of which NMMC area forms part for vehicle registration.This has resulted in traffic problems in
cert ain areas. NMMC has undertaken programme for improvement of internal roads to reduce the
problem by providing additional lane for left turn, creating turning lane, parking space and
signalised traffic to decongest the traffic movement. However, the major concern in traffic is
increasing number of road accidents and deaths due to accidents.

14. PROPOSED LAND USE MANGROVE PROTECTION PROPOSAL

Over the period, along the western part of Navi Mumbai Significant degradation of Mangrove is
observed. As covered in Analysis Part One of the major reason for degradation is Debris dumping in
CRZ & NDZ. Protecting Mangrove has become need of the hour for sustainable future.
In Navi Mumbai area Many Administrating body works simultaneously, for example, NMMC (Navi
Mumbai Municipal Corporation, Thane District Administration, Raigad District Administration. Panvel
Municipal Corporation Etc. In the rapidly changing world, different responsibility on authority,
Mangrove protection is neglected, because of this Mangroves are suffering. To avoid such suffering
following proposal will help substantially.
14.1MoU between all administrative body’s in Navi Mumbai
A memorandum of understanding (MoU) is a type of agreement between two (bilateral) or more
(multilateral) parties. It expresses a convergence of will between the parties, indicating an intended
common line of action. It is often used either in cases where parties do not imply a legal commitment or
in situations where the parties cannot create a legally enforceable agreement. It is a more formal
alternative to a gentlemen's agreement.
Objective for this MoU is Protect, Conserve, & Increase Mangrove cover within the area of Navi Mumbai
Municipal Corporation (NMMC).
14.2. Advanced monitoring system
Technology can play vital role in Mangrove Protection. With help of modern technology, our
interpretation of mangrove ecosystem can be improved. Moreover, problem of debris dumping in
Mangrove Notified area can be solved by Monitoring Technology.

 Using of drone for monitoring mangrove throughout the area

 Establishing a separate control room for protecting mangrove
 Integrated patrolling of mangrove with help of police.
 Use of Satellite data for making analysis of mangrove related development

These are some initiative can be implemented to improve condition of the mangrove.
14.3. Help of NGO, SHG, School for Protection of Mangrove
Theme behing this type of proposal is to create awareness among the public of Navi Mumbai. People of
Navi Mumbai Comes from different of India. Often they don’t about the Importance of Mangrove. Most
of them unaware of the term Mangrove.

NGO, SHG, School Chindern can create extensive awareness in the city by doing small small awareness
program in different part of the city. Due to awareness main cause of Debris Dumping can be mitigated

60
Navi Mumbai is metro city, from every corner of India people are commit & living in the city. They often
don’t understand the importance of mangrove.

SGO,SHG,SCHOOL Children may conduct awareness program in Navi Mumbai so that people get aware
about importance of the mangrove
Cleaning drive can be conducted with help of all stakeholder
`

This Three proposal can help us to improve current condition of the mangrove & Densify the
Mangrove area in the Navi Mumbai.

Integrating Blue- Green Infrastructure

61
Rapid Urbanization and uneven growth has led Human kind into problematic situations that are
abstaining, but I believe there is still a lot much we can do to thrive, survive, and have a better lifestyle.
Nature based solutions have always fascinated me because they give results by binding Human and
nature together.

Today we will look to an interesting nature based solution managed through a combination of new
grey-blue-green infrastructure (nature inspired) with traditional/conventional gray water infrastructure.
This integrated blue-green-gray (Hybrid) approach makes use of natural systems (either unspoiled or
engineered) to provide urban services.

These hybrid approach and interventions are designed to operate at local Area, neighbourhood scale,
Development/city scale, Regional Scale, National scale it can also enable planning and financing to
increase urban disaster resilience. A few hybrid interventions implemented by cities globally are
described here.

Local Area/Household Scale:

Balcony Plantation:
One of the beautiful and best way to start integration of hybrid infrastructure can be
Balcony plantation it includes small plants that can easily fit in nursery plants rather being small they
have enormous potential in improving lifestyle and behavioural changes of their owner. It also satisfies
the NBC guidelines (section 2.2.10 to 2.2.27) which defines General Ventilation, Humidification,
Humidity Absolute, and Humidity Relative.

Plants like Indian Basil (Tulsi) It is an excellent mosquito repellant and has medicinal properties.
Marigold (Tagetes erecta), It is a common flowering plant and the flowers are used for decorative
purpose. Snake Plant (Dracaena trifasciata) This is the ideal plant for your Balcony for its ornamental
value. This plant is commonly known as “Mother in law’s tongue”. It is very effective in purifying air
and needs very low maintenance. Aloe Vera (Aloe barbadensis miller) This “medicinal plant” is famous
for its medicinal value that heals, rejuvenates and soothes the skin and body.

In Urban planning context planners have to deal with urban heat island. Urban heat island are areas of
dense population mostly metropolitan cities that are significantly warmer than the surrounding rural
areas. It occurs due to pollution and reflection of UV rays from tar/asphalt roads. To tackle the situation
URDPFI suggest(In any residential zone (R-1) and residential zone with shop line (R-2), or in a purely
residential building in any other zone, balconies may be permitted free of FSI at each floor, excluding
the grounds and the terrace floors, of an area not more than 10 percent of the area of the floor) and No
balcony shall reduce the minimum marginal open space to less than 3 m. at the rear and sides and 1.5
m. in the front. Due to following norms we have open spaces that can provide ventilation/free flow air
in rooms, thus providing to carry out an initiative for reducing urban heat island by balcony plantation
methods.

Street Design Infrastructure: Most

dominant in urban design are street design Infrastructure it includes sit
outs, signage promoting hygiene and greenery, benches and many more elements that add up human
interaction and activities maintaining natural pavement along urban streets.

62
According to Urban street design guidelines,Pune PMC (Chapter 5 multi utility zone 5.2 Plantation. )

1) trees should not obstruct the pedestrian flow or vehicular flow. Clear walkable footpath should be
available depending on the road width.

2) Street trees should typically be upright and branched above 2.4m to provide adequate walking
clearance under branches.

3) It is recommended to plant trees in Multi-utility zone as recommended by IRC codes.

4)In case of narrow streets and in absence of Multi-utility zone, trees should be planted in parking zone
/ shoulder as it is advisable that trees utilize parking space instead of compromising walking space.

5) It is mandatory to have tree pits which provide space for tree growth. Tree pits can be individual,
elongated or connected. They may be surfaced with porous pavers, or grates that allow water to readily
flow to the root zone. Minimum tree guard dimensions should be followed as per table mentioned in
this chapter.

6) Thorny plants should not be planted in the median.

7) Plantation at the edge of footpath (even within private premises) should not be of a type which would
overgrow and spread on to the footpath blocking pedestrian path.

COEP Bridge,Shivajinagar pune

Most Interactive and applying URDPFI guidelines following JM road Street Design infrastructure has
played a significant role in city beautification. It stands out as nature based solution rather hybrid
solution in integrating green-grey infrastructure.

Smart City mission has played prominent role in city beautification and freedom to authorities to think
creatively for their city/town, Pune is an excellent example so far. The Idea of vertical plantation along
the barren concrete bridge structures has fulfilled the aesthetic part of the city. They absorb the

63
pollution and noise of the traffic along busy routes. Such mitigations are ideal to cities with pollution
problem.

Neighbourhood Scale:

Urban Agriculture: Urban agriculture is a key solution to rapid population growth, urbanization, food
crisis and climate change. In the case of India, the reports by UN state of the world population in 2007,
by 2030, 40.76% of the country's population will reside in urban areas.

This is somewhat the new concept to India. Urban farming can be an option in Indian context as rural
India has a major role in it. But it's needed in today's approach towards integration of infrastructure.

You don’t have to be a corporation or have a large tract of land to be an urban farm. An individual, a
couple of friends, a non-profit entity, or neighbourhood group can start and run an urban farm.

But guys does not confuse it with community farming/gardening the major difference lies in commerce
in urban farm personal consumption is negligible. One of the excellent advantage is that it can generate
economy at neighbourhood scale. Which can benefit local authority like Municipal Corporation and
Nagar Parishad.

Rather relying on major markets which require logistics,human labour allocation. Urban farming
carried at every neighbourhood will benefit the city as a whole. 33.1 million children die before their
5th birthday due to malnutrition, stunting and wasting. This approach will benefit this sections of child
welfare and subsequently generate economy for the local authority.

Vijay Yelmalle of Kharghar, Maharashtra, of CRAFT (Center for Research in Alternative Farming
Technology) trains urbanites in hydroponics

Thus, Urban farming act as an example of hybrid nature based solution, that has impact in climate
change, and this productive action promotes sense of ownership towards thrived plantation, in turn
making behavioural changes, in urban context the heat generated in urban cities called urban heat act as
repulsive towards nature, to tackle such problems urban farming has achieved success with flying
colors.

64
City /Development Scale:

Zoning: In
urban planing zoning act as compulsory attribute that guide the development plan of any city.
Zoning includes distribution of land and regulation of land.

Did you know? Land-use and land planning regulation doesn’t just control existing buildings and uses –
it guides future development!

For our current study we will focus on functional zoning and incentive zoning. There are seven types of
functional zoning in which recreational has a vital role in suggesting natural based solution. As per the
1996 URDPFI (Urban Development Plans Formulation and Implementation) guidelines of the Urban
Development Ministry, recreational areas should comprise 20-25% of the total developed area in
metropolitan (million plus population) cities, 18-20% in medium towns/large cities, and 12-14% in small
towns.

Sabarmati Riverfront Development,Gujarat

Optimizing vacant space on earth with a blend of technological and urban design can create miracles
that are aesthetically pleasant. Using land as natural based solution and increasing value of barren land
incentive zoning plays a prominent role.

Incentive zoning is zoning that provide stakeholders to invest in particular land and increasing the
natural habitat, condition government should identify such lands. That can capable of developing parks,
preserving wetland, small ponds, naturally formed small lakes and water reservoirs etc.

Regional Scale:

65
NMT policies:Non - Nonmotorized transport policy (NMT) design for non-motorized vehicles that
include bicycle, carts, carriage vehicles and predominantly pedestrians.

They are implemented in regional scale and has integration of gray infrastructure in green such that it
preserves every green element and water body on its carriageway/corridor/pathway.

Its aim, mission and goal suggest pathway/pedestrian as the highest priority, such policy for
pedestrianization street infrastructure play an important role in interaction, engagement, and to create
aesthetical pleasant streets.

Recovering of natural habitat has characteristics that attract people to the city, some can even create
landmarks

The following ROW design preserves the traditional road and maintaining the natural green corridor
just by adding some minimal design elements. Sidewalk has specifically designed that it has correct
access to houses and main road preserving trees and their canopy. A Cycle track with separate
established routes does not disturb the main traffic on road. Special care for sunshade along the routes
are taken care of.

NMT policies of Chennai and Pune have their individual document of urban street design. Urban street
design guidelines, Pune PMC covers the context 2 to 9 (STREET TYPOLOGY- hierarchy for Pune,
principles of street design, street elements, STREET ELEMENTS-foothpath, Cycle tracks,
Carriageway, Shoulders, On- street parking, BRT lanes and Bus stops, SAFETY ELEMENTS -
pedestrian Crossings, Traffic calming Measures, Speed breakers, Traffic signals, Central medians,
Railings and bollards, Street lights, Street furniture, Signage, Road markings, Advertisements, MULTI
UTILITY ZONES - street plantation, Utility services, Storm water, Garbage bins, Public toilets,
UNIVERSAL ACCESSIBILITY AND BARRIER FREE DESIGN ELEMENTS - fundamentals,
Design Requirements, Footpath design, Paving block and warning blocks, Curb ramp and slope ramp)

Thus, the following solution at various scales can be identified that integrate hybrid infrastructure.

Implementation strategy

66
These solutions are hard to accept by mass because it needs patience waiting for nature to recover and
through right communication and knowledge transfer this can be achieved. Interaction between
ecological, technological and most important social behavioral is important for such projects to thrive.

Me, you and all are the part of nature and theirs lot more we can give back to mother earth so lets not
hesitate and contribute what is possible from us. Let it be small plant at our balcony or policy changes
at regional level. Always keep interaction and well-being with mother earth about things we do in our
lifestyle.

People with physical disabilities: Every additional accessible station makes it easier for riders
with mobility disabilities to explore and enjoy the city. Currently, a person with a mobility
disability often must take a complicated route to make what should be simple trip.

Senior citizens: There are more than 25% seniors in Kamothe ward. More elevators will help
seniors run errands, see loved ones and visit their favorite City destinations.
Families with young children: Parents and caregivers with kids in strollers can get some relief
with more elevators. Carrying strollers up and down stairs is not easy even with perfect
conditions.

All transit riders: More access points to a station typically means less crowded entrances and
exits and better passenger flow.

Tourism can be well developed in Navi Mumbai with proper planning and well execution. The
development of tourism center will provide employment to the local people. Basic infrastructure
like water, roads and parking will be provided. Thus, following proposals will help develop Navi
Mumbai as tourist place which in turn will add up its economy. Heritage Assessment is necessary
to identify practical and achievable objectives, strategies to protect and manage historic places.
Main objective is to inform broader development in the city and promote awareness of local
heritage in community. In the meantime, two cultural heritage site have been identified with
historic importance

Conservation and Preservation of Heritage Sites

16.1. Belapur Fort
The fort was built by the Siddis of Janjira. It was later conquered by the Portuguese, and then
Marathas. It is located atop a hillock. In the early 19th century the British caught hold of this place
and captured it.The fort in spite of its immense historical significance lies in a state of absolute
neglect.Today all that remains in the fort are crumbled walls and dilapidated bastions which served
as watchtowers.All the old structures have disappeared and made way for modern houses. A wide
ditch (moat) is present along the periphery of the fort.

16.1.1. Issues

No steps taken by authorities to preserve the rare land of fort like Belapur.The growth of wild grass
eradicates the aesthetics of the fort, its present condition has been worsen. Dreadful conditions of
steps discourages visitors to climb fort. No revenue is generated to the Municipal Council.

16.1.2. Proposals

Repairing and Restoration of dilapidated walls of the fort in collaboration with State Archaeology
department with the help of Maharashtra’s Fort Conservation Committee. Provision of a garden
with basic facilities inside the fort which will not only increase the visual aesthetics and tourist
footfall but will generate employment and revenue. Creating the foot trails to the important
locations and removing the grown trees in bastions.

Figure 23.Waterfall conservation Figure 24.Proposed view of restored fort

16.2. Pandavkada falls

Pandavkada Falls is a waterfall located Kharghar, a suburb of Navi Mumbai. The waterfall, about
107 metres high is a type of 'plunge' waterfall in nature pouring in massive amounts of water on
the rocky surface underneath. It has a rich ancient importance, but lies in a state of absolute neglect.
There are claims that negative ions that are abundant in waterfalls somehow increase serotonin
levels.
Support distinct insect assemblages.

16.2.1. Issues
Inevitable exploitation of natural resources would dry the waterfalls adverse impact on carrying
capacity more active during monsoons and for some time after that. Improper accessible route

85
16.2.2. Proposal
Introduction of nature oriented activities such as Hiking, Roping, and cable car in few waterfalls
Zip lining/boating/rafting/Angling Conservation of waterfall habitat is thus important for
conserving aquatic insect diversity. Basic amenities like drinking water, track, electricity, parking
etc. must be provided

Tourism represents a significant share of the services economy.

Transport, specifically, provides connections between regions &
links all other elements of tourism ,etc. attractions, stay and
commercial services etc. at destinations. Good accessibility is
instrumental for the overall conflict of locations. In order for
tourism to deliver on its potential as an engine for economic
growth, it is dependent on multimodal transport systems that offer
convenience, capacity, reliability & connectivity to suit specific
destination types

There is much that tourism policy makers and promotional organizations can do to help ensure
that strategic transportation planning supports tourism goals. Improving institutional co-ordination
with transport policy makers and operators, and adopting strategies the purpose of transport
systems are to connect people to each other and to provide opportunities for work and leisure. In
the case of tourism this includes the journey from a tourist’s place of residence until their arrival
at their final or primary destination, and then on to supporting attractions in the area Network
design is a fundamental aspect that needs to be carefully considered to provide a seamless transport
experience, particularly because public transport exhibits network economies. This means that the
unit cost of delivering a service decreases as the number of passengers increase. Apply universal
design principles to cater for tourists of all levels of mobility, and encourage transport providers
to offer appropriate services, such as wheelchair accessible buses and taxis.

86
17. CYCLE TRACK
NEED OF CYCLE TRACK
A cycle track is physically separated from motor traffic and distinct from the sidewalk. Cycle
tracks have different forms but all share common elements—they provide space that is intended
to be exclusively or primarily used for bicycles, and are separated from motor vehicle travel
lanes, parking lanes, and sidewalks. Improve mobility - faster and more efficient
commuting.Reduce congestion – reduction of numbers of vehicles on the roads, more fluid
traffic flow and reduction of hours spent in traffic jams.Improve health, saving national health
services' money.To make cycling safer and more attractive, much more needs to be done than
providing cycle tracks and cycle lanes

SOLAR PARK
1. India lies in the high solar insolation region, endowed with huge solar energy potential with most
of the country having about 300 days of sunshine per year with annual mean daily global solar
radiation in the range of 4 - 6 kWh/m2/day.
2. Ultra Mega Solar Power Projects having capacity of 500 MW or above have been planned in
India.
3. Based on the application made by the Solar Power Park Developer (SPPD) to Solar Energy
Corporation of India (SECI) for grant of up to Rs. 20 lakh/MW or 30% of the project cost
including Grid-connectivity cost, whichever is lower, SECI will forward a request to MNRE.
4. Following are the essential responsibilities of SPPD:
i. Acquisition of land
ii. Getting land related clearances
iii. Developing approach road to each plot
iv. Developing internal transmission system and maintaining it.
v. Making arrangement to connect to the grid
vi. Providing basic drainage.
vii. Providing water supply
5. For Capacity of a 500 MW, 508 hectors is needed.
6. This land will be from land Acquisition that will be completed by the SPPD as per above
guidelines.
7. The use of this energy will be as per the norms decided by the ministry and it will create the
income source also.
8. Solar park will be best project for this city because it falls on the equator of the earth and is
therefore well radiated by the sun rays.

17. Water Terminal Proposal
Navi Mumbai has around 70 Km of costal belt it is costal city, The presence of a number of the
coastline of Maharashtra by various creeks, bays and estuaries depicts the inherent potential of the
Navi Mumbai for transportation through inland waterways.

Proposal is to construct public use infrastructure–a ferry terminal and passenger jetty for tourists
and visitors

 Redevelopment of Small Ports/ Multipurpose jetty

92
  Utilising the possibilities provided by the marine environment at a specific site for the
benefit of the area is one of the keys to successful coastal development
 Enhancement of the natural and recreational value of coastal areas

17.1. Funding
This project is based on Public – Private Partnership model,To promote development of ports
through private participation
At currently, hardly 20% of are in usable condition and the remaining sections become neglected

Fig. location of Port

Plan is to operate the facility as a stand-alone entity which will serve the community of Navi
Mumbai and visitors to the area as a commercial and recreational marina

93
Use or work upon the boats using the city's small boat harbor facilities, or who use these
facilities in the course of visits for commercial or pleasure purposes
Plan is to operate the facility as a stand-alone entity which will serve the community of Navi
Mumbai and visitors to the area as a commercial and recreational marina.

17.2. Opportunities for Recreation - Water transport is slowly emerging as a high Potential
alternative for the Navi Mumbai which can lessen the travel time for the people of Navi Mumbai
as well as open new avenues of tourism.
Distance form main landmarks:-
• Sector 15, Belapur 0.9 km
• Mangroves 1.5 km
• CBD Belapur 2.4 km
• Sector 10, Belapur 2.6 km
• NMIA Site 4.1 km
• Panvel 10 km
• Thane Creek 15 km
• Redevelopment of Small Ports/ Multipurpose jetty

17.3. Revenue

For passengers, the typical costs of ferry, while not high, have to be added to the costs of the
subsequent mode of transport which may have to be used to achieve the end to end requirement
of transport.

94
Identify and prioritise inland waterway routes based on social and environmental impact
assessment and commercial or tourists attractiveness.
