About
UDRI’s Spatial Planning Index (SPI) was developed as a benchmarking tool to compare cities against a comprehensive set of indicators that reflect a decentralized spatial planning framework from the regional to the precinct level, as supported by the 74th CAA (1992). The report provides the status of planning structures in 25 cities across 23 states and 2 union territories. The Index was developed using a framework of five key themes; state legislation, organization structures, spatial planning capacity, monitoring and GIS data management, and citizen engagement. These were further bifurcated into 15 sub-themes and 45 indicators. These indicators were converted into a checklist offering actionable insights, allowing state and local governments to assess and refine their spatial planning systems.

About
Volume 2 specifically focuses on the forms of dwelling in India, and takes the reader straight to the core of housing – the structure of the dwelling/house/home itself. The bulk of Volume 2 comprises 80 detailed case studies of seminal housing models from across the decades that were either State sponsored or privately built, or sometimes self-built. It captures the systematic study of individual housing types not only representing their physical form but also the protocols, procedures, forms of patronage, policy and financial arrangements that contribute to the final production of the housing project. It is the presentation of case studies that renders this volume unique in that, perhaps for the first time, a historical timeframe is appended along with a spatial analysis of the housing model making it possible for the reader to contextually understand experiments in housing in India through its history.

About
Volume 1: “Housing in India: Aspirations, Imaginaries and Realities” presents a holistic timeline of the development of housing keeping in mind the political and economic ethos of the country through the decades. Prefaced by a comprehensive timeline of housing in India, some of the key writings in this volume explore the housing crisis as the result of growing urbanisation; question the very notion of ‘housing’ and its myriad meanings; debate the role of the State and its efficiency in providing housing; try to make an argument for inclusive housing, not just in terms of housing beneficiaries, but also in terms of inclusive disciplines that define housing policies.

Will the the architect have a role to play as people and governments debate housing, public infrastructure, and the dramatic growth of cities in certain parts of the world, including India?

Mustansir Dalvi

About
In this book, we trace the influences of documentation, decoration, and design on architectural pedagogy and architectural practices in India in the late 19th and early 20th century at the Sir JJ School of Art, Bombay. In these pages are the many original drawings made by the students of the school, prints from the portfolios of Jacob Batley and Fletcher, and glass ‘magic lantern’ slides that explore this interaction. As a testimony to the diverse strands of aesthetic understanding and practice, we present a representative portfolio of drawings made by noted modernist architect Achyut Kanvinde during his years as a student of the Sir JJ School of Art, which, placed between the dichotomy of tradition and modernism, provides a glimpse into design churnings prevalent at the cups of Indian independence.

About
This book explores future planning and design in and around the Mumbai Metropolitan Region, specifically focused on the Bay of Mumbai. Over the summers of 2008 and 2009, a multidisciplinary group of graduate students from Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s School of Architecture + Planning traveled to Mumbai for field research. Led by professors Alan Berger and Rahul Mehrotra, along with doctoral candidate Shiben Banerji, the students immersed in myriad site visits, used several modes of transportation, spent time in informal housing locations, and experienced local culture events and cuisine. In addition to these explorations, the students were also engaged in a day long workshop and conference organized in partnership with a local Institute (Urban Design Research Institute) where multiple stakeholders were brought together to discuss the emergent form of the city and the most crucial questions regarding its future. This was designed to give the students a first hand exposure to the voices of some of the different stakeholders in the city.

Establishing that understanding prevalent illogic is an efficient trigger for effective interventions and policy alteration, the reader is intended to be an annual reference for problems, potentials and promise in the study of urban societies in Mumbai.

Mumbai Reader is a project intended to be a research collective focusing on Urbanism and is aimed at addressing the lack of publications on Urbanism. The current literature on urbanism in India is predominantly characterised by gross generalisations that are supported by elite nostalgia and interest. While paradigms of research are set through the mainstream writings, they also create stereotypes in architectural and urban development practice – as both depend on each other and on the market.The Mumbai Reader aims at compiling the city from its ‘here and now’. Hence writings that are specific at enabling a contemporary understanding of the present context are a focus of this Reader.

The city’s Eastern Waterfront that are emerging as the focus of this ‘reclaiming’ process, where multiple aspirations, needs, and conflicts are playing themselves out. In this context, the city’s Eastern Waterfront is particularly interesting and of great relevance, on account of its position both in the geography of the city, as well as the Metropolitan Region. The very connection of the historic city centre to the metropolitan area is dependent on how this stretch of waterfront is recycled for urban use.
