DEVELOPING CITY – A CASE OF PUNE

INTRODUCTION :-
Urbanization has been increased in last few decades. Cities are growing very fast, in terms of
population as well as size, spreading beyond municipal areas . More and more towns and
villages are now getting converted into cities. More than half of World population lives in
city areas. As rapid growth of population has put pressure on city structural system. Rapid
growth has affected many problems in city area for e.g. traffic jams, load on infrastructure,
pollution, lack of spaces etc. As it also affected the city life, so to improve city life one of the
solution is transit oriented development (TOD).
TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT defined as per various authors,
1. Calthorpe (1993)- Mixed-use community within an average 2,000-foot walking distance of
a transit stop and a core commercial area that mixes residential, retail, office, open space, and
public uses in a walkable environment, making it convenient for residents and employees to
travel by transit, bicycle, foot or car.
2.Cervero et al. (2004) -TODs a tool for promoting smart growth, leveraging economic
development, and catering for shifting housing market demands and lifestyle preferences.
3.Still (2002) A mixed-use community that encourages people to live near transit services and
to decrease their dependence on driving
4.Maryland Department of Transportation -A place of relatively higher density that includes
a mixture of residential, employment, shopping and civic uses and types located within an
easy walk of a bus or rail transit center.
5.Bernick and Cervero (1997)- A compact, mixed-use community, centred on a transit station
that, by design, invites residents, workers, and shoppers to drive their cars less and ride mass
transit more.
TOD zone: - It is the area a {. e*g/ 500 M. around the proposed /Metro station boundary as
will be delineated by Pune Municipal Corporation with the approval of the State Government.
This distance of 500 M. may be relaxed up to 30 % by the Municipal Commissioner where
any reservation, / amenity space within such distance is utilized for the purpose of
transportation as prescribed in regulation no.2l(5) {Definition as per 2019.03.08_tod_37_(1 AA)}

In urban planning, TOD is a type of urban development idea that increases the
amount of residential, business and commercial spaces within walking distance of public
transport. Due to rapid urbanization and the growth in population, various modes of urban
planning are being implemented. These measures are taken to reduce the load on urban
infrastructure and transportation.
What does TOD aim?
• The primary aim of TOD is to make cities more live able by connecting place of work to
place of residence of inhabitants, by planning accessible, dense and diverse urban places
around transit, supported by walkable and cycle friendly neighbourhoods and well-designed
public realm. This will go a long way in encouraging, inducing and enhancing an increase in
public transit ridership. It makes it possible to live a stress-free life without complete
dependence on car for fulfilling mobility, basic services and everyday needs. This would in
turn improve livability and quality of life.

Why To Select PUNE ?


Pune is one of major city of Maharashtra. Pune is a city known for its cultural & rich history,
education facilities, Commercial & industrial development, the IT sector, etc. All these
factors and more have resulted in its ever-expanding area. Now, Pune is on the way to
become a metropolitan city. From the old city to the newly added villages to the PMC limits,
the city displays a harmony between the contemporary and the traditional infrastructure.
Along with the expanding city limits, the development in infrastructure along with the
upcoming metro makes the city available for transit-oriented development. So, the city has its
pros and cons. It’s also going to affect the infrastructure of city. But now the metro project is
under development so it’s hampering the traffic system
AIM :-
To study the issues and challenges of TRANSIT-ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT for
developing city
OBJECTIVE :-
To understand the basic concept, guidelines & rules for TRANSIT-ORIENTED
DEVELOPMENT
To understand the implementation of TRANSIT-ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT on
current situation cities.
To understand the TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT scope and limitation on
INDIAN cities.
LITERATURE REVIEW
A TOD is a compact, mixed-use community, centred around a transit
station that, by design, invites residents, workers, and shoppers to drive their cars less and
ride mass transit more. TOD is viewed as a set of strategies to enhance the usage of public
transit, increase walking activity, containing urban sprawl, and creating more livable places.
For implementing TOD in neighborhood of the study area following
parameters are used Land use, Land Values, Property Values, Demographic Structure,
Redevelopment component, Cost of Infrastructure Development, Various Premium and
Development Charges. TOD is both a development and growth management strategy. Its
adaptation is incremental and can be done at multiple levels - node, corridor, city and region.
In this study, TOD is advocated both as a city level strategy and a local area solution to arrest
the current sprawl based and energy-intensive urban development. Pedestrian friendly design
is another important parameter of TOD. It focuses on providing building and spaces designed
to human scale with added safety and comfort. It includes deigning of quality public realm
with wide sidewalks, protection from traffic, providing street furniture and creating
pedestrian friendly environment. It also aims for comfortable, enjoyable and easy pedestrian
access to transit station.
BOOK REVIEW
Lap for transit- this handbook contain laws and policies and data related
to transit oriented development. This handbook contain policies and rules reference from two
sources (MoHUA) and the National Urban Transport Policy (NUTP). The handbook helps in
achieving these goals through integration of socioeconomic development, infrastructure, land
use and transport, in Indian cities.
In this handbook following cities case study are explained like:-
• JAIPUR
• BANGALORE
• MUMBAI
These cities example helps us to know how TOD helps in maintaining city infrastructure and
economical background. Also helps to decrease traffic jam and also flow of traffic
movement flexible city’s.
DEFINITION OF LAP:- LAP is a planning instrument to integrate city-level mobility and
infrastructure development envisioned in a development plan, with neighbourhood level
accessibility and area-level improvement either through natural process of urban renewal or
through planned redevelopment.
DEFINITION OF TOD:- To create a dense, diverse and accessible urban fabric to enhance,
encourage and induce commuter populations to use public transit as their preferred mode of
getting around and also support non-motorized transit.(According book )
Review on principle of tod:-
1. Access ,
2. Constitutes public realm ,
3. Design,
4. density-intensity,
5. Diversity,
6. Affordability,
7. Parking management,
8. invest to earn
SCOPE OF THE STUDY :-
Pune District is in the state of Maharashtra, India. The district's population was 9,429,408 in
the 2011 census, Makes it the fourth-most-populous district amongst India's 640 districts .
This district has an urban population of 58.08 percent of its total. It is one of the most
industrialized districts in India. In recent decades it has also become a hub for Information
technology.
As Pune’s limits and population growth are rapidly increase day by day PMC (PUNE
MUNCIPAL COOPERATION) are implementing different policy to maintain the
infrastructure of city and its also going from Tier II to Tier I (Classification of Indian cities)
So many development we see here.

LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY (DATA COLLECTION METHODS, DATA


ANALYSIS METHODS)
Current condition of implementation of TOD within study area, existing scenario of land use
and traffic pattern within city area.
EXPECTED OUTCOME (CONCLUSION)
India being a dense nation can majorly use transit orient development to reduce the
congestion problems faced by the major cities as well as problems of traffic jam, lack use of
public transport. Transit oriented development brings about new development around transit
stations with high density, mix use and pedestrian friendly design. Considering the perception
of people, it shows that people are aware about the metro and subsequent new development.
Tod will help to grow economy, jobs, connectivity etc.
