There is a lot of discussion about the DP and its implications on South Mumbai and Aarey. I want to focus on the problems that are coming for Parlekars.
Praja Foundation along with UDRI have come up with a good handbook (more like a workbook) to help citizens arrive at some conclusions about the DP. The DP, if you see, is a large complex document. Further one will have to do much secondary research to put the data, dp plans in perspective and come to some conlcusion about what can happen to a particular area. This is possible only for persons with good hold on numbers and domain knowledge about urban and town planning. So here it is- it is not possible for even an educated intelligent Parlekar to respond to the DP without spending a good few days understanding the DP. Anyway, I have tried..........
Mapping of the KEast
GIS has been used for mapping. An age-old problem is clubbing Vile Parle and Andheri together- areas extremely diverse in culture and all dimensions. But that is another story.
Overall
WRT the DP- as it is KEast is below standard with respect to every facility such as health, education, recreation, open space, transport and waste management. The DP sets out no plan to set right these problems.
FSI
Now the flight corridor areas have a height restriction. Almost all open spaces in Vile Parle East are encroached by one or the other organisation. The DP states no plans to acquire new open areas or develop them in a time-bound manner.
Waste management-
All our liquid
