The city and Its History

The city of mumbai has been central in the worldwide debate on the future of
cities. Being the largest metropolis in the country and its commercial capital it
is being touted as one of the most important nodes in the global network of
urban connections . The emerging landscape has , in the process , been a cause
to break into numerous , specialized zones spread across the metropolitan area
( including the historic inner city ) , whose relative importance depends on their
potential connectivity.
LOCALITY
Anushakti Nagar is located about 20 km north-east of Mumbai downtown.
ANUSHAKTINAGAR
It is part of the Mumbai South Central (Lok Sabha constituency) which until

 CLIMATE

CLIMATE GRAPH

The Climate of Mumbai is a tropical, wet and dry climate.

Mumbai's climate can be best described as moderately hot with
high level of humidity. Its coastal nature and tropical location
ensure temperatures do not fluctuate much throughout the year.
The mean average is 27.2 °C
maximum average temperatures is about 32 °C

TOPOGRAPHY
Mumbai is bounded by the Arabian Sea to the west. Many parts
of the city lie just above sea level, with elevations ranging from 10
m (33 ft) to 15 m (49 ft); the city has an average elevation of 14
m (46 ft). Northern Mumbai (Salsette) is hilly, and the highest
point in the city is 450 m (1,476 ft) at Salsette in the
Powai–Kanheri ranges.
LAND USE LAND COVER MAP M WARD

The LULC map of M Ward shows the land use

patterns. It can be clearly seen that most of the area is
occupied by the Built up area as shown in pink
colour and a clear indication of the reduced open
spaces whose area has been diminishing over the
years.
LAND USE LAND COVER MAP M WARD

Data Analysis

Based on the primary data of the satellite imagery, land use land cover maps
(LULC) were prepared for the years 2000, 2005 and 2010.

The various features which are indicated in the list are taken up from the
LULC map and are used for comparison over a decade. They clearly
indicate changes over the years. This indicates the process of Urbanization
that has been happening in the M Ward as described earlier. Adetailed
analysis, considering the features such as Water bodies, Built up area and
Open area
that have been continuously changing over this period, is discussed below.

 LITERATURE REVIEW

● The Image of the City – Kevin Lynch

The author's diagrams and explanations of his 5 Rules of Design for such drawing of buildings and urban spaces underscores the

rational and aesthetic coherence of many cities as it teaches the drawing student to look for design in their drawing and in their

thinking ultimately about how to propose new urban arrangements.

● Where We Want to Live: Reclaiming Infrastructure for a New Generation of Cities – Ryan Gravel

WHERE YOU WANT TO LIVE will empower you and inspire to join the plan for changing decades of thinking, the old school

way--an environment organized primarily around cars instead of people. We cannot sit back and expect someone else to shape the

world on our behalf. Take action in the face of dramatic regional and cultural change, and build communities that we actually want

to live in. To start the process, we all have to define what we want and start working together.

Footpath
● A continuous unobstructed
minimum width of 2m
● No breaks or obstructions at
property entrances and side
streets
● Continuous shade through tree
cover
● No railings or barriers that
prevent sideways movement on
and off the footpath
● Elevation over the carriageway
(e.g. +150mm) and adequate
cross slope for storm water runoff.
At the same time, the elevation
should be low enough for
pedestrians to step onto and off of
the footpath easily
● Surmountable gratings over tree
pits to increase the effective width
of the footpath
Bus stops

● Street vendors should be accommodated

where there is demand for their goods and
services—near major intersections, public
transport stops, parks, and so on
● Supporting infrastructure, such as
cooperatively managed water taps, electricity
points, trash bins, and public toilets, should be
provided
● Vending areas should be positioned so as to
ensure the continuity of cycle tracks and
footpaths
Landscaping
● Appropriate distance between trees to provide
continuous shade, depending on the individual
trees’ canopy size and shape. In dry climates
where trees do not grow very fast, closer spacing
is necessary
● Tree pits locations should be coordinated with the
position of street lights
● Medium-height vegetation should be trimmed
directly adjacent to formal crossings to improve the
visibility of pedestrians and cyclists
● Trees with high branching structures are
preferable
● Tree pits should have dimensions of at least 1.5m
by 1.5m to accommodate roots at full maturity. On
narrow sidewalks, the same surface area can be
achieved with 1m by 2.25m tree pits. Hume pipes
can lower the level at which roots spread out,
there by reducing damage to road surfaces and
underground utilities
