All over the world towns and cities grow with time and the governments there've to keep devising more recent guidelines i.e. expansion plans to felicitate finer running of life for all. These development plans are carefully analyzed, debated and scrutinised by specialists for all potential pros and cons before launch. Most of the times these plans have worked in favour of the civilisation but there are example cases of otherwise also. Let's understand this happening quoting an illustration from India. In India Mumbai, also termed the financial capital of India is going through such a phase. A new expansion plan for the next 20 years (2014-34), has been made available on 16 Feb. 2015. The civic body there - Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) had offered mass Floor Space Index of 6.5 and 8 in this plan which will fluctuate from area to area and is dependent on the commercial infrastructure, geography and other such components of that area. The draft proposal envisages a city growing vertically along transit corridors - especially train line, metro, monorail stations and also along freeways - with a varied floor space index (FSI) ranging from 2.5 to 8. This plan is not only theoretical to boost the growth of the city but BMC is also bound to get profit out of this exercise since the civic body is going to charge premium for the FSI which is being offered to the developer. For more than two decades, the city has had a base/uniform FSI of 1.33 in the island city and 1 in the suburbs, which is offered to be increased to 2.5 uniformly. Let's analyze the consequence of it on several critical points such as infrastructure, open spaces and traffic: Consequence on Infrastructure - The civic body here does not seem to have yet still associated the FSI to an places facilities. This may well cause problems as it is the infrastructure here is failing as a result of vertical growth. The purpose is to add to housing as well as commercial space supply to generate work opportunity and growth, but nevertheless there is no foremost plan by BMC for changing infrastructure to take the load of this higher FSI-led expansion. Areas with better infrastructure connectivity and accessibility, according to the BMC will see the permissible FSI level going up which is controversial. BMC has also projected that henceforth parking, staircase; lift space will be added in the fresh FSI. This means that building firms will only be able to develop 70% of the obtainable FSI. So if a builder gets an FSI of 8, he would be allowed for using only 5-6 FSI. Nevertheless, the same DP also affirms that the allocation for open spaces, education and healthcare service has been decreased considerably while it supplies for no equivalent provision to supplement the road network, water pipelines, sewage lines and similar basic services. Effect on open spaces - The overall phenomenal increase in bulk FSI, related to nearness to mass transit modes but not indexed to provision of physical and social infrastructure, may not augur well for the usual people quality of existence. Civic authorities said the DP made it official upon builders to hand over 10 to 20 per cent of their plot area to the BMC to create land pool which the latter might then exercise to enforce a range of reservations such as roads and open areas. Nevertheless, urban planners argued this was actually a dilution of the existing norms that require reservations of as much as 20 per cent area for inclusive housing. Effect on traffic - Aiming to look at the city's traffic over-crowding matters, the draft DP has also proposed to increase the land under road ways to 20% of the city's total land. Earlier, the FSI was typically a standard method. Now, for the first time a variable character has been accorded to it and the FSI will be established by how close it is to a travelling hub like a train line or a metro station. According to the civic body's map, areas that will see high use of FSI are ones which have high transit denseness and along proposed transport passages and business locations. In short if we summarise this debate than we know for sure that for cities to grow furthermore there is beyond doubt going to be shortage of space and the only way to achieve this proposition will have to go vertically and realistically. As rightly quoted by United states reporter, Matthew Yglesias, "the proposal is one of the most crucial urban policy stories in the world".
