Development
using TDR posing parking problem
By A. T. Correspondent
There is lot of development in Mumbai
Suburbs using transfer of development rights (TDR) on existing properties,
mostly society in buildings. Now it is posing parking problems in all these
areas under development. The Thinking in municipal circle is that the development
permissions using TDR should be linked to the road space and parking areas
available for the additional flats purchasers. The bottleneck for parking
area is getting worst by the day and the civic authorities will have to
find a solutions to this problem.
The infrastructure in suburbs, specifically
in far flung areas badly needs upgradation. In these areas the roads, and
parking areas are much less than required, even for the existing buildings.
Top of its, encroachments of by slum dweller and illegal constructions,
are posing further problems for these areas. Sewage and rain water drains
need to be revamped to serve the fast growing areas. Development using
TDR clearly means to increase F.S.I. in that area. Architects and town
planners feel that indiscriminate development through TDR route must be
monitored and availability of infrastructure in the are a must be able
to cope up with resultant increased population.
