TOD in Hubli-Dharwad: Possibilities and Challenges

Directorate of Urban Land Transport

�Twin cities

�Single municipal body w.e.f 1962.

�Distinct development:� Hubli: business and industrial hubof the region� Dharwad: educational centre:Karnataka University and Agriculturaluniversity.

Dharwad

�Population : 0.96 million in 2011,�Expected: 1.5 million by 2031.

�Rate of population growth- 1.69 % to 2%CAGR (low population growth in last twodecades1981-2011)

�Density: 4678 persons per sq.km.

Hubli

�Current developed area: 95.18 sq.km out of 202.3 sq.km corporation area.

� Developed area: 45 sq.km in 1986.

� 50 sq.km proposed to be developed in the next decade.

� Navanagar township formed in 1979.

TRANSIT SCENARIO:

� Average trip length, includingwalking : 5.1 km.

� Average trip length of motorised trips: 8.6 km

� PT carries ~ 2.5 lakh passengersevery day.

�Public Transport: LoS 2Organized PT exists; Service coverage and frequency need improvements.

� Pedestrian facilities: LoS 3Need considerable improvements.

� NMT: LoS 4�Between Hubli and Dharwad: 1.7lakhs.

�Expected demand by 2031: 12000pphdt. ~ 4 lakhs.

� NMT: LoS 4The city lacks adequate NMT facilities.

� Road safety: LoS 4Fatality rate per lakh population : 9.54.40% fatalities include pedestrians and cyclists.

CULTURAL LANDSCAPES

1120 AD

According to the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Sites and Remains(Amendment and Validation) Act- 2010,

�Prohibited zone- 100m from the protected ASI monument. No constructions can bemade. The 100m area in Amargol about 50% of the old village.

�Regulated Zone- 200 m from the prohibited area. Constructions can be made withthe permission of GOI.

This implies that any construction/ modification/ development activities to becarried out in the entire village have to be approved by the ASI.

Guidelines for Historic Settlement of Amargol-

AMARGOL village

Current Issues-

�Predominantly agricultural.�The Station Road through the village connects the NH4 to theAmargol Railway station and many of the other villages beyond.

�Increased traffic and commercial activity

� Household activities including marriages spill out to thestreet and backyards.

� simultaneous rapid development and modernization atone end and severely limited change and growth at theother.

Master Plan, 2021-

�in the Master Plan: Commercial use along the main road(proposed at 24mts) and the interior roads (proposed at12mts).

� Existing road network or plotting within the extents of thevillage ignored: many structures will have to be demolishedto implement the Master Plan.

Proposed Public SpacesExisting Public Spaces

PUBLIC SPACES

Total Open Space- 11.1 ha(parks, natural lakes and a cemetery)

Current Issues-�A very small percentage of the Public Open spaces is usable by the public while the majority of the parks and green areas areneglected.�The strips of land around the lakes, which must be preserved as Riparian areas, are not protected, and hence any development inthis zone will threaten the lakes.�On street informal activities intrude into the pedestrians domain competing for space.

Current Issues-

�Only about 50 % of the plots have been builtupon. The government agencies have largeplots and hence the ratio of built to un-built ontheir properties is very low.

�Most buildings in Navanagar are ground and

1.5 for residential plot on a 9 meteraccess road.2.5 for commercial plot on a 15 meter�Most buildings in Navanagar are ground and

ground plus one (G and G+1) structures.

�Underutilized FSI- Most of the roads are 9 mwide.

�Single commercial axis.

�Lack of mixed use in other areas.

Mixed use-Mid rise –High ground cover

ReferenceImages

• Facing Collector street ( x to y m)• Midrise ( G to g+2)( FSI 2-3)• Mixed-use ( commercial residential)• High ground cover ( 70 to 100%)• Peripherally located vertical access• Single units each floor• Front end open to street

Variations• Larger share of commercial use• Both peripheral and central vertical

access• Mixed use ( commercial –office)• Mixed use ( commercial –office)

Analysis• Good Density achieved (g:300-350,j:

200)• Good mix of land use ( 50-50 to 60-40)• Live edges achieved due to commercial

mix• Variations 1 & 2 achieve job densities of

400 +

Limitations• Light and ventilation is an issue• Ground coverage can be reduced by

modifying setbacks

• Reduce allowable ground coverto 50 %

• Front set back of 2m, Back setback of minimum 5m

• FSI: 2

• Segregated access for residentialand commercial

TRAVEL DEMAND MANAGEMENT

Current issues

�Most of the private vehicles are parked on-street.(both designated and non-designated). No regulationof on-street parking.

�No special provisions made for parking of goodsvehicles, rickshaws and bicycles.

�No parking place for non-motorised transport.

�Paid parking is applicable at only one road of

Master Plan, 2021

�DCR mention the minimum parking requirement based on theusage type and road width.

�Specifies 1 /5 of the total parking area to be reserved for twowheelers and cycles.

�Cycle provision is optional as it is clubbed with twoWheelers

�Paid parking is applicable at only one road oflength 500m in entire city.

Scope for Improvements-

�Designate on street and off street parking areas.

�Maximum limit should be mentioned in the DCR instead of minimum parking requirements alongthe corridor.

�Parking pricing to be introduced for the twin cities.
