It definitely will. Except the open spaces and add skyscrapers to it. Reason: builder lobby and gadkari. They can
do wonders if they see their own profit in it.

It will happen. But it will be Mumbai style, in keeping with the cultural and architectural traditions of Mumbai.

Posts: 3,308 seafront for public purposes, the report has been gathering dust.
Likes (Received): 1598 A panel under Rani Jadhav, former chairperson of the Mumbai Port Trust (MbPT), had in December last year
submitted recommendations to the Union shipping ministry on how to free up land owned by the agency for public
housing, recreational purposes and for transportation. The report was to be made public in order to invite
suggestions and objections. However, while the government is yet to implement the report, it has also not been
placed in the public domain.
Speaking on the sidelines of a press conference last month, Union Shipping Minister Nitin Gadkari had said, We
have received good suggestions. We have also received the Rani Jadhav Report on this. We have to interact with
the Chief Minister and public representatives of Maharashtra. We will prepare a report on how to unlock MbPT land
and submit it to the Maharashtra government for approval. These things take time.

Master Plan Of Recreation & Business Hub To Be Ready In 9 Mths

Location: kadapa A consortium, which includes a firm that designed the Sabarmati riverfront, will prepare the master plan for
Posts: 3,481
revamp of the eastern waterfront into a hub of tourism, recreation and entertainment under a self-financing
model, to be executed via commercial exploitation of land. The consortium comprises Ahmedabad-based HPC
Design, Unity Consultancy and PricewaterhouseCoopers.
With this development, the eastern waterfront project has officially kicked off. It was the consortium's concept
plan that helped it bag the project (see box). The consortium's appointment was cleared by the board of trustees
of the Mumbai Port Trust (MBPT), which is vying to become the special planning authority for the project.
MBPT chairman Sanjay Bhatia said, The consultants will start work on the draft master plan for 550 hectares
within six months. While 300 hectares of this area is available, a detailed master plan for 165 hectares will be
ready in nine months.
He further said that tenders will be floated thereafter to select construction firms for executing the plan.
The Union shipping ministry had appointed former MBPT chairperson Rani Jadhav to prepare a report for the
revamp. Bhatia said, Consultants will pick some suggestions made in the report to prepare the master plan.
Thereafter, the plan will be sent to the BMC for its approval.
MPBT wants the consultants to a create a landmark site with plazas, shopping arcades and a pedestrianand a
bicyclefriendly environment.
Bhatia said, The entire revamp will be carried out on land where non-port activities are undertaken--that is, north
of the Ferry Wharf. He added, Since it is being carried out under the self-financing model, we will have monetize
the land so that another central business district can come up on the lines of the Bandra-Kurla Complex.
Smart technology would be used for operation and maintenance of infrastructure and allied facilities,
environment-friendly initiatives such as zero discharge, recycling of waste, energy-efficient technology and world-
class transport and logistical facilities.
Besides revamp of the port land, MBPT has come up with a Rs 150 crore plan for a cruise terminal with retail,
restaurants and entertainment facilities.
It will also soon firm up plans for makeover of one of the city's oldest landmarks--Sassoon Dock in Colaba. MBPT
plans to open up its space here for eateries that can turn this neighbourhood into a recreation zone.

Likes (Received): 1030 A structure taller than Dubai's iconic 163-floor Burj Khalifa with a green boulevard bigger than Mumbai's
Marine Drive will form part of a new eastern waterfront to be developed on a wasteland in the country's
financial capital.
These grand plans are part of a dream project of Nitin Gadkari, the union minister for Shipping, Road
Transport and Highways, who sees the Mumbai Port Trust as the "richest landlord" of the city and wants
to give a makeover to its huge swathes of industrial wasteland.
"In Mumbai, we are the number one landlord. The iconic Taj Hotel, the Ballard Estate, the Reliance
building, we (MbPT) are the owners. There are beautiful plans to develop the huge land with the port,"
Gadkari told PTI.
The plans are ready and we are awaiting Centre's nod, the Minister said.
"We are not giving our land to the builders and investors. We have plans to develop the
area...We are making a green, smart road, three times bigger than the Marine Drive. We plan
historic landmark bigger than Burj Khalifa. The plan is ready, we are waiting for the approval
from the Cabinet," Gadkari said.
MbPT, which was earlier called the Bombay Port Trust, is one of the largest public land holders in Mumbai
city and has been operating the port since 1873. It is one of the top 12 major ports in the country. "About
500 hectares is proposed to be developed with a mix of port operations, business, office, commercial,
retail, entertainment, community projects and convention centres, etc," a top official said. A key feature
of the plan is a 7-km long marine drive between Mazagaon Docks and Wadala, much bigger than the
existing Marine Drive. The proposed projects also include creation of spaces for community recreation and
engagement, maritime museum, marinas etc.
Mumbai Port has already invited global tender from consulting firms for master plan and infrastructure
design of the port.
The Centre had earlier set up a committee under the chairmanship of R Jadhav for preparing a roadmap
for development of Port's waterfront and land, which has already been submitted to the Ministry of
Shipping.
Gadkari said the Shipping Ministry has plans to develop other ports too.
"We are planning development of Kolkata Port. We are also making smart city at Kandla Port,"
he said.
The Minister said there was no paucity of resources nor land as there is "one lakh hectares of
land" among ports and the government has already come up with ambitious Rs 14 lakh crore
Sagarmala project for port-led development of the country.
Major ports in India have between them 2.64 lakh acres of land.
A blueprint for utilisation of land available with 12 major ports was underway while consultants are also in
the process of submitting a report on how to utilise 1.98 lakh acres of submerged land with ports.
India's 12 major ports handle approximately 61 per cent of the country's total cargo traffic.
The roadmap for port land assumes significance, given a CAG report which observed that major ports had
failed to utilise close to half of the total land under their possession.
"Land measuring 22,949.82 acres was identified for future activities by ports while 13,045.56
acres were yet to be earmarked for any future activity," the Comptroller and Auditor General of
India (CAG) had said in a report.
According to the audit report on 'Land Management in Major Ports', out of the total land
holding of 77,191.14 acres, title deeds were not available for 34,943.41 acres representing
45.27 per cent of the total land portfolio.
The 12 major ports are Kandla, Mumbai, JNPT, Marmugao, New Mangalore, Cochin, Chennai, Ennore, VO
Chidambarnar, Visakhapatnam, Paradip and Kolkata (including Haldia).
The cabinet last year had approved a policy for award of waterfront and associated land to port dependent
industries in major ports.

Burj Khalifa here in the memory of Maratha warrior Chhatrapati Shivaji.
"I am not making any announcement but only expressing my wish. I want a huge building to come up in Mumbai.
I want a structure taller than the Burj Khalifa, one of the tallest buildings of the world, to come up in
Mumbai near the seas. It will be called Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj tower," Gadkari said while speaking
at the IBN Lokmat Conclave here.
He further said the first 30 floors would be reserved for a conventional Centre, the next 30 for restaurants,
another set of 30 floors for hotels, 20 floors for malls only, along with many floors underground as parking space.
"On the top floors of the building, there can be an art gallery dedicated to Shivaji Maharaj, depicting his life.
Around the building, there will be musical fountains, lights and crystal clear water," he said.
The minister also said that he also envisages to make seas of Mumbai as clean as those in Andamans and
Mauritius. "We will do whatever can be done to make sea water clean," he added.
The Maharashtra government is currently working on the Rs 1,900-crore project to build a grand memorial for the
17th century warrior king in the Arabian Sea off Mumbai coast. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is likely to lay the
foundation of the memorial next month. The memorial, which includes Shivaji's equestrian statue, an
amphitheater, a museum and an underwater aquarium, is proposed to come up on an elliptical rock 1.2 kms from
the Raj Bhavan here..

Aryaved I wish Gadkariji all the best and will hope that his visions come true. He is a proactive minister and has proved his
BANNED mettle. If he does this job well, Mumbai will truly be put on world map. Even I was thinking the name of the tower
should be Chhatrapatti Shivaji Maharaj Tower. No expenses should be spared in the development of Mumbai!

Mumbai is ideal for cruise liners.

Waterfront, a project that will include a marina twice the length of Mairne Drive, a central garden five time larger
than Oval Maidan, a new BKC and a Central government office complex. Bhatia also discusses the plan to
redevelop Sassoon Dock into a modern fishing village and how Mumbai is ideal for cruise liners.
Kavitha Iyer: Will the ship-breaking industry be closed down as the Eastern Waterfront project kicks off? How will
you shut Darukhana?
We will have to give a plot and the Slum Rehabilitation Authority (SRA) is already there. If the state government
and the Central government agree then we will go for an SRA scheme. The scheme has residential and
commercial components. That was my first question, these people have their livelihood here, why would they
shift? They will shift when they get livelihood and residential. Ship-breaking has almost stopped. Coal handling
has stopped. The people will as it is need something else. We will, of course, have to sit down and resolve what
happens to the post-2000 slum-dwellers. We have some surveys that show 10,000 tenements before 2000. This
survey is dated 2004.
Dipti Singh: Where have the negotiations with fishermen at Sassoon Dock reached? They have seen the plan and
they have liked the plan. I have formed a small committee of those guys, our people have are talking to them.
They are saying (its a) very good plan but stop people (fishermen) coming from Versova first. We are giving them
options, such as cold storage, boats.
Kavitha Iyer: Are all reports out in public domain? Is there an action taken report? And are all nine reports on the
eastern waterfront in consonance with what you are doing? More or less. They are on the website also. We have
culled out the best parts. They are all professionals. Now I am going to start discussions with you. This is first
draft, after that we will begin discussions.
Shaji Vikraman: So it will not be put up for public comments? Of course. Nothing can be done without public
comments. The other day I had discussions with Aapli Mumbai, then the Urban Design Research Institute.
Everybody will have to come on board because anyone could file a PIL. For the first time, Mumbai Port Trust is
coming out and saying lets do it.
Shaji Vikraman: What you are proposing will overshadow what the port trust has been doing for years. Your
streams of revenue will completely change. No, the port trust will be what it is. Because out of 800 hectares, we
are trying to optimise our godowns and about 300 hectares will come out for this project; 500 (hectares) is going
to be with the port. We are the sixth largest port. This is going to be more of a cruise-oriented port, which is right
now only a report that shows the potential. Today, our operating revenue is Rs 1,400 crore, we have about Rs 300
of operating profit. There is a good operating revenue coming from port activities. Therefore, port activities will
not stop unless there is very clearly a cruise-type alternative happening there.
Arita Sarkar: The BMC has marked out affordable housing on MbPT land. What would happen to that? We have
kept that area for residential development. So, it is not affordable housing the way you think affordable housing,
but it will be for housing.
Tabassum Barnagarwala: The project is copying the New York model and the Ballard Estate model. What are the
original themes you have thought of? We are very impressed by the grid patterns of Ballard Estate. Architects
have said this is the best model. There is no boundary wall. All places are accessible to people. Therefore, that is
the grid model. Luckily that grid model is also there in New York, but people only understand when I say New
York. Real model is the Ballard Estate model. The grid will be everywhere, the architecture will change with time.
Kavitha Iyer: The last such large scale plan was the Dharavi redevelopment project, which was an utter failure.
What are the lessons from that? We havent taken any lessons from Dharavi. Probably when we are doing the
rehabilitation, we will take some lessons. Right now we are in the planning stage. We will consult all experts. If 25
per cent of this happens, Mumbaiites should be very happy. If a very big conflict happens, the slums may not
shift. But they will have to shift sooner or later. All this needs to be done in collaboration with the state
government. There is a high level committee with the chief secretary as its chairman for issues like moving the
slums.
Shaji Vikraman: Is the Eastern Seafront project recognition that the port trust has reached saturation and that are
limitations to future growth? I can make ten more cruise berths. There is no saturation. Mumbai is ideal for cruise.
So many requests are coming up. Indians request a four-day cruise to go during the weekend and come back, to
celebrate marriages and conferences. In October, they will plan smaller routes to go to Cochin or Colombo and
back. It would be much more affordable than going anywhere else.
Sadaf Modak: The Ballard Estate Festival hasnt really taken up well. Any reason it failed and any plan to revamp
it? I have had discussions with the event managers and their suggestions are that it should have been planned in
a different way. This had become more elitist. They wanted a different name. Which was good but it takes time.
Probably the next model will be more open. There will be no ticket, you can go in and crowds will be thereWe
will probably try that model. Our interest in that was not to make money, we wanted it to be successful. And now
with the cruise right there, as soon as passengers come out, they will see Ballard Estate. So these two can join
together. These two activities are complementary.
Tabassum Barnagarwala: What is different about this plan as compared to previous ones? For the last 17 years,
plans have been made. Every time it was an in-principle plan. This time it is on the drawing board. This plan will
probably be thought about at the highest level, because it will change Mumbai.
