ABSTRACT
Pune is one of the fastest-growing metro cities in the country. To improve the transportation
system in the Pune city, metro as mass rapid transit system (MRTS) was proposed. The work has
been initiated since June 2019, intention to connect the different areas and the peripheral
population to their workplaces and core of the city. The greater connectivity through the
technology is bringing the different areas of the city closer to each other and the core area of the
city. The government and planning authority published a transit-oriented development (TOD)
policy, which states about the development control and promotion through rules and regulations
for the TOD zone. This study hypothesizes that the Pune TOD Policy is the highly influencing
factor for the development along the metro corridor, which along with the other co-influencing
factors determines the development pattern of the study area. The paper focuses on exploring the
impact of TOD policy on the land use, development potential, and development density of the
TOD influence zone with a case study of the Pune, Maharashtra state, India. From the present
study, it is observed that results show that, TOD development regulations have shortcomings
concerning plot area, plot size, and adjacent road width to consume the FSI four.

1. INTRODUCTION

Increasing urbanization and urban population, which results in the rapid demand for housing
and transport facilities which generate burden on urban development. The urban development is
the process of growth of an area, situated in the city or a town or having characteristics of the
same. It has spatial and physical attributes as well as environmental, economic, social, cultural
and political manifestations. The spatial and physical form of urban development can either be a
new development on virgin land or renewal of existing urban fabric. (Mukherjee R. and Nag S.,
2015)
The population of Pune is about 5.058 million as per the census 2011. Along with the
population of the city, the demand for transport facilities is also increasing. The city has a
prodigious history of educational institutes and it has developed as a major educational
institutional hub in recent decades. The city holds nearly half of the total international students in
the country along with home to the biggest IT Park in the country called Rajiv Gandhi IT Park at
Hinjewadi. The increasing population of the city has created congestion on the available road
network hindering the transportation system. To improve the transportation system, the Pune
Metro as Mass Rapid Transit System (MRTS) proposed in the city, the work has been initiated
since June 2019.
Literature indicates MRTS has an impact on the development through changes in land use
and real estate market. Around the metro station, within the influence area result can be felt in
the form of congestion, land use changes, densification of areas, the concentration of activities
and increase in the land value. For the controlled and promotional development in the city,

government and Planning authority published a Notification Transit-Oriented Development


(TOD) policy dated 08/03/2019. This published policy support Development Control and
Promotion Regulations, 2017 of Pune city (DCPR 2017) by providing guidelines and regulation
for development in the TOD zone. These regulations are monitored by Urban Local Body (ULB)
i.e., Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC). The potential of development in the TOD zone of Pune
metro is assessed by considering the parameters like Land use, Plot area, Road width, Floor

Space Index (FSI), and Building/Structure height concerning the TOD policy. This TOD zone
can be determined as 500 meters around the metro station with maximum permissible FSI of
four.
As far as the heavy traffic in the city is considered, Metro is the best mode of transportation
to save time. Availability of the development opportunity closer to the metro station will reduce
the travelling time of the residents of the TOD zone. Landowners try to develop their land
parcels with maximum permissible FSI to consume maximum benefit out of it. So, the demand
for residential and mixed-use development is increasing, not just in the influence area but also
beyond it. The paper objectives started with the evaluation of present built up, assessment of the
development potential of land parcels through the existing land use and urban planning tools like
compensatory FSI. The paper conclusion is about the development strategy for land parcels
through spatial analysis and suggestions for development guidelines.

2. TERMINOLOGIES

2.1. TOD zone


It is the area 500 meters around the proposed Metro station boundary (Refer Figure 1) as will
be delineated by Pune Municipal Corporation with the approval of the State Government. This
distance of 500 meters may be relaxed up to 30% by the Municipal Commissioner where any
reservation/amenity space within such distance is utilized for transportation as prescribed in
regulation no.2l (5) (DCPR, Pune 2017) (Government of Maharashtra, 2019)

Figure 1. Schematic diagram as per TOD policy Pune 08/03/2019

2.2. Maximum Permissible FSI


The maximum permissible FSI in TOD zone shall be 4 including the base permissible FSI,
subject to the condition that, the additional FSI over and above the base permissible FSI shall be
allowed within the overall limit of maximum permissible FSI, as given in Table 1 (Government
of Maharashtra, 2019).
The maximum permissible FSI as per Table 1 shall be determined by the satisfaction of both
the criteria viz. Minimum Road width as well as plot area, simultaneously. However, in case,
both these criteria are not satisfied simultaneously, the maximum permissible FSI shall be the
minimum of that permissible against each of these two criteria’s, as illustrated in Table 2.

2.3. Base permissible FSI


It is the FSI that is otherwise permissible on any land concerning zone shown as per the
sanctioned development plan and the relevant provision of the Principal Development Control
Rights (DCR) excluding the Transfer Development Rights (TDR) and the premium FSI,
redevelopment incentive FSI that can be received. (Pune Municipal Corporation, 2017)

3. LITERATURE

India is a highly populated country which is the world’s second-most populous country and
majorly the population wrinkle in the metropolitan cities resulting ill-effects of crowded roads
and traffic jams. Traffic congestion effects directly on the movement of vehicles i.e., movement
of people. Due to poor service quality and less frequency of public transport in the Pune,
population lean towards private vehicles. It not only increases the pollution but also wastes time
and energy. These traffic issues can be reduced and the transport system can be improved by the
metro project. However, the need for a metro rail is not dependent only on the city’s population
but also on the city’s form, presence of the central business and other road networks. MRTS’s
ridership is more compared to the existing public transport, considering it to fulfil the
requirements of housing and other mixed land uses the concept of TOD is introduced via. TOD
policy. (Deulkar N. W. and Shaikh F. A., 2015)
In this perception, high-rise high-density development is promoted through maximum FSI.
Following this same principle maximum permissible FSI four is provided/applicable in the TOD
zone by the regulations of the TOD policy. TOD zone is 500 meter around the station so, by
developing this zone, the housing stock can be an increase in the city. Station distance becomes
walkable or can be travelled by Intermediate Public Transport (IPT) in the TOD zone. These are
the reasons that population get attracted towards TOD zone for the residence purpose. By

developing the high-rise structures, it is possible to create housing stock on mixed land uses
high-density population with MRTS. Concerning the housing shortage in India, Economically
Weaker Section (EWS) and Low-Income Group (LIG) housing plays a major role in it, which
can be targeted by TOD.
A settlement needs mobility to travel and to connect various places within its limit or outside
the boundary. Pune metro connects various places from north to south and from east to west by

Line-1 and Line-2 respectively within the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) limit and with the
Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) limit. Talking about the development with
maximum permissible FSI four for high rise high-density, visual impact will be noticeable as the
metro track will be like a continuous flyover on road with huge metro stations across the entire
road width and high-rise structures on both the sides.

4. LAND USE DEVELOPMENT AND TRANSPORTATION RELATION

Land use and transportation are closely related to each other in a cyclic order. Land use
creates activities and distances between various human activity spaces to create a need to travel.
Wegener and Furst (1999) explain that the distribution of land uses over the urban area
determines the locations of human activities such as living, working, shopping, education or
leisure (Refer Figure 2). These activities require spatial interactions or trips in the transportation
system. The distribution of transport infrastructure improves the accessibility of the areas. This
enhances the attractiveness of the land around and influences the location decisions of the
investors. This results in a change in land use and the cycle repeats. (Gangopadhyay D. and
Sekar S. P., 2016)
Within any city, there is always an inherent relationship between population density and
spatial distribution of land use activities, between the transport network and activity hierarchy
and consequently, between human demands for transport networks and spatial activity
distributions. This gives it a unique form and structure. (Goel, S., 2000) Growing urban
population is raring several challenges in the city, like traffic, road accidents, congestion, lack of
land resource, lack of housing and infrastructure. Eventually, it affects the quality of life. To
solve these issues one of the attempts is metro rail (MRTS). MRTS especially rail is often related
to improved access to jobs and residences, increase in property values and changes in land use.

The impact of the MRTS can be explained in three aspects; impact of an over ground metro
on the city’s heritage and skyline, the impact of the proposed routes on buildings in the city and
impact of the proposed FSI increase. This can be defined as Residential areas get pushed beyond
the core impact area, as existing residential uses are transformed into business and recreational
uses, due to increasing land value and travelling facility. (Deulkar N. W. and Shaikh F. A., 2015)
Providing higher FSI to develop a residential and mixed land use human activity and need for

transportation system is balanced. By finding the land potential, it can help to get the optimum
development potential of the area. The development guidelines revolve around the land uses and
plot area concerning adjacent road width resulting in applicable FSI. An applicable FSI is
directly proportional to the building height which effects on the development pattern and
development density of the area. Referring to the literature and the guidelines evaluation
parameters are shortlisted as Land use, Plot area, Road width, FSI and Building height.

5. METHODOLOGY

The research is divided into seven parts, starting with the formulation of objectives.
Literature was deliberate by the understanding of TOD, and TOD development regulations,
components and benefits of TOD. TOD zones of metropolitan cities and guidelines were studied
to understand densification strategies and how they are implemented in India. The primary study
has been completed within Pune to understand the current development along Metro corridor
stretches in the Pune and potential of development, along with guiding principles for such
development. Parameters were identified for primary studies. The study is limited to the selected
stretch of the metro corridor. Two metro stations have been taken with their 500 meters TOD
zones with primary and secondary data. The spatial volumetric analysis, comparison of existing
structures and projected development can express the impact of development on the area of the
metro corridor. The research draws inferences from the identified indicators and the secondary
data, apart from the financial aspect. Accordingly, the suggestions are given.

6. STUDY AREA

6.1. Pune metro


Pune is the second largest fast-developing urban agglomerations in Maharashtra state and
ranks eight at the national level. It is now rapidly changing its character from an Education
Administrative Centre to an important industrial hub and the IT Centre. Pune is a plateau city
situated near the western margin of the Deccan Plateau. It is situated at an altitude of 560 m
above the mean sea level. PMC lies between latitudes 18° 25'N and 18° 37'N and longitudes
between 73° 44'E and 73° 57'E and the geographical area is around 243.84 Sq. Km.

6.2. Selection of Study Area


The study area is selected from Line 2 of Pune metro, by considering the present
connectivity, presence of residential density and residential land use. From Line 2, the Anand
Nagar and the Ideal Colony these two stations were selected to study their TOD zone as
demarcated in Figure 3. The distance between these two stations is 905.301 meters. This area
comprises Kothrud Area, Pune ward number 11, 12 and 13 (Refer Figure 4 & Figure 5).

6.3. Delineation of Study Area Boundary
The baseline study starts with the delineation of the study area boundary. TOD zone is a zone
identified as 500 meters around a metro station and the policy applies to this zone only. The
demarcated zones are published by the Pune Municipal Corporation on 8th March 2019. Within
the Anand Nagar and Ideal colony metro station’s TOD zone, the study area boundary is
delineated by considering barriers/factors (manmade or natural) i.e., Roads, Landuse, River,
Nala, Hilly area. Land use zone map as per the Development Plan of the Pune city.

Figure 6. Map of the Study area Boundary with Land use zones

1768611.05 sq. m. is the total area of the selected study area and the population is 222937
people. It is located just 13 km from the Mumbai-Pune Expressway. It is this proximity to both
the Expressway and the heart of Pune that attracts people to this area. Suburban development has
accommodated new migrants and allowed the movement of people from the congested core to
move out to a more conducive environment. Today as well, this dominant residential area is
characterized by the presence of varying income groups coupled with the requisite social and
physical infrastructure.

7. ANALYSIS

Analysis of parameters and TOD policy guidelines is conducted with ArcGIS Spatial
analysis. The GIS is the system where the data can be input and can compare dynamically. The
survey includes a land use survey, existing building height survey and spatial information
regarding plots shapes and area. To assess the respective plots under the parameters and to
conduct the surveys, plot numbers are allotted to all plots in the study area as per the available
survey numbers from the PMC. Evaluation of the guidelines and projected development in the
study area by maximum permissible FSI is conducted.

Figure 8. Map of existing Land use with the study area boundary

7.1. Land use classification


The study area is dominated by the residential land use with 42.17 %, 8.77% area is under
mixed land use, in which all the structures are dominantly residential. Only six commercial land
parcels in the area, it covers only 0.45% in the study area. Talking about the road connectivity it
covers 23.11% of the landcover however both of the metro stations are on one of the widest
roads, Paud Road, which is 42m wide. Then there is an informal settlement of 8.74% and Public
Semi-public of 6.49%

7.2. Road width category


As per the TOD policy, there are six categories of road width hierarchy. In the selected study
area, all types of roads are existing. The Paud road is the widest and longest road in the study
area, as the metro stations are on the Paud road, this road divides the TOD zone and study area
in two parts by passing through the center. The 30m. and above category covers the major area
of 28.56%, comparing to other categories. After 30m and above road category the study area is
connected by less than 9m. and up to 12m. category roads.

8. EVALUATION OF TOD POLICY, PUNE (08/03/2019) REGULATIONS

After following the guidelines in the study area, 27.73% of the area is under base FSI of 1.1.
It leads to the actual development assessment of the plots in the study area. The plot numbers are
allotted for the dynamic record of GIS and data collection. Through the spatial analysis and data
analysis of the study area including land ue, plot area, adjacent road width, maximum
permissible FSI, built-up area, consumable FSI/built-up area, marginal spaces and number of
floors as per calculations for the development in the study area is projected. A part of the study
area in between the Ideal Colony and Anand Nagar Metro Station is selected to detail as a
projected development and 3D spatial analysis of TOD Policy, Pune, 08/03/2019.
Development guidelines of TOD policy are primary but Principal DCPR Pune 2017 is
necessary for a development tool, i.e., Basic FSI and marginal spaces. While analyzing marginal
spaces, both from TOD Policy and Principal DCPR, whichever is maximum is considered for
projected development calculations.

9. CALCULATIONS OF PROJECTED DEVELOPMENT

To assess the plot development built-up potential, “FSI x Plot area” method is adopted.

Table 4. Method for calculating projected Development


Downloaded from ascelibrary.org by Natl Inst. Of Cons. Mgmt & Rsrch (nicmar) on 07/26/23. Copyright ASCE. For personal use only; all rights reserved.

As per the Survey numbers/Plot numbers (A) all plots are demarcated on the spatial database
and Area (B) is calculated. The plot is integrated by the category of adjacent road (C) width and
Plot area (D). By which the applicable FSI (E) is identified. By multiplying applicable FSI (E)
and respective Plot area (B) the Built-Up Area (F) is calculated. Marginal spaces (G) area applies
as per DCPR, Pune 2017, and the setback/offset area (H) (buildable footprint area) is calculated.
To calculate the Number of floors (I), Built-up area (F) is divided by a buildable footprint/offset
area (H). For the parking requirement stilt covered parking area is considered on the ground floor
by increasing/adding one floor in the number of floors (J). For the passage and staircase purpose
on every floor, a 30 percent increase in the number of floors (K) is considered for the primary
calculation of the number of floors. Referring to TOD policy, Pune, Marginal spaces guidelines
area given relating to building heights, these Marginal spaces are considered as (L). After
applying these Marginal spaces (L), the setback/offset area as per TOD (M) (buildable footprint
area) is calculated. Final Number of floors as per TOD (N) is calculated through, dividing Built-
up Area (F) by final footprint/offset area (M). For Total Number of floors one stilt floor and 20%
for passage and staircase is added (O).

Figure 18. 3D GIS Model of the projected development in the Study Area

As illustrated in Figure 17, on plot number 128/37 and 128/38, FSI 3 is applicable, the basic
marginal spaces are 4.5m and 6m. respectively, beyond this the available ground coverage for
the plots area 130sq.m. and 108sq.m. these plots are inadequate for the development of high-rise
structures, also the marginal spaces required for the high rise are insufficient. In another type,
after achieving the marginal spaces, projected floors are more than nine or ten but it has building
footprint area less than 100 sq. m. Plot size, shape and area, these are restrictions for the new
development as per TOD regulations.

11. FINDINGS FROM THE ANALYSIS AND THE PROJECTED DEVELOPMENT


A metro rail acts as a spine running from east to west on Paud road in the selected study area
and station is becoming a focal point for new development. The area is covered in maximum
residential land use. There are several roads emerging from the Paud road, these less than 9m
and up to 12m wide roads leads to the internal residential plots of the area on which majorly 1 &
2 story height structures are existing. After analysing the applicable FSI as per road with and as
per plot area category second largest plot area comes under less than 9m wide road and majority
plot areas are below 1000 sq. m. Concerning both the criteria majority potential of plots is base
FSI 1.1 and there are only 13.13% plots getting the benefit of FSI 4.

12. LESSONS LEARNED

Any urban renewal proposal has its own legal, logical and psychological problems. Providing
a FSI 4 for the Transit Oriented Development is going to change the fabric and character of the
space. After analysing there is understanding of it is not applicable on all plots of the TOD zone
including some of the plots which area adjacent to more than 30m wide road. FSI 4 is considered
to cater more population in TOD zone in the form of development but it is unclear in the current
scenario.

13. CONCLUSION
The paper has provided a combination of two methods spatial analysis and calculations for
the projected development in the TOD zone of the Pune city. The development in TOD zone can
be achieved up to certain extent. However the solutions to this development pattern should
eradicate and this should become major areas concern for the policy makers, planners, leaders,

administrators and, development practitioners, as the achievements have to commensurate with


the expectations in the form of TOD.
It is concluded that there are shortcomings in the development rules concerning plot size,
shape and area. Some of the plots have potential by the approach road width, but it gets restricted
by the plot area or shape. However, by the integrated approach of amalgamation and
reconstruction of plots as per the area concerning the road widths can make the development

possible and planning purpose can be achieve. It is a re-densification of low-rise low density
area. An optimum density development in terms of FSI can be achieved for planning purpose.
With this research, it is could possible the provide some more guidelines for the amalgamation of
plots for the optimum development.
