STREET ENVIRONMENT DESIGN STUDIO- URBAN CENTER MUMBAI
Mumbaikars mode of travel- pedestrian, public transport and private transport
We were divided in groups of 5 and given different sites to study. We studied the Mahim citylight market.
OVERALL SITE MAP:
We started by locating the mahim market on a larger map ad identifying the major landmarks such as the Matunga road railway station, post office, the Shivaji park fire station and the gopinath vegetable and fish market.
The main area of study was the gopinath vegetable and fish market and the street and footpath outside the market. As per the current conditions, the footpath is occcupied by the vegetable vendors who occupy 2 m from both the sids of the footpath in total is 6 m wide. So now only 2m is the walkable area for the pedestrians which is not enough. Also the pavement is paver blocks which ae not very walkable
