Foreword
The Smart City Mission has directed the attention of the urban sector in India to the need and benefits of following an integrated approach
to the formulation of city development strategies and the preparation of purposeful projects which can be implemented with efficiency.
The Mission has also made us highly conscious of the interrelationships between planning, governance, finance and capacity; the fact that
all these aspects must be addressed while envisaging a project or a development strategy. The outcomes that are expected from such an
integrated and holistic approach are an improved quality of life, better quality of assets and enhanced efficiency and sustainability.

One of the fundamental principles of smart cities is the integration between land use and transportation. Urban historians will remind us
that this integration is at the heart of city planning. Even a cursory glance at the oldest cities, which we admire for their streets and public
places as much as their buildings, reveals the inherent bond between the spaces for movement and the spaces for rest. However, this bond
became weak during the late 20th century because of proliferating modes of personal transportation and rampant unplanned urbanisation,
which skewed the balance between density of population and land use and provision of basic services. The ‘smart’ city is one that aims to
restore the balance and to reclaim the public purpose of cities, which is expected to result in improved economic and social performance.

Over the last several months, NIUA was engaged in a research project on Transit Oriented Development in Indian Smart Cities. As a part of
this project, NIUA published ‘Transit Oriented Development for Indian Smart Cities — A Global Review of Transportation-Land-Use Integration’
in September 2016. This publication established five constructs-Urban Density, Urban Diversity, Urban Design, Housing and Mobility — as
the core themes in a TOD. This publication was followed up by interactions with over 10 Indian smart cities through national, international
workshops and an international immersion visit. NIUA is now pleased to published the final set of deliverables in this project. It includes
three Guidance Documents with the purpose of helping Indian smart cities in the process of implementing TOD. The three Guidance
Documents are:

• A Smart(er) TOD — Learnings from MoUD’s TOD Guidance Document and Smart City Plans is a study of TODs in 21 Smart Cities
with respect to the Ministry of Urban Developments’ TOD Guidance document.
• Game Changers in Transit Oriented Development discuss two important tools in operationalising TOD- Value Capture Financing for
financial sustainability and Form-Based Codes for community-driven urban design.
• Assessing TOD — A List of Indicators compiles indicators of TOD within the five constructs established in Transit Oriented Development
for Indian Smart Cities — A Global Review of Transportation-Land-Use Integration.

These publications illustrate the opportunity, role and scope of TOD in Indian Smart Cities.

We are thankful to the group of expert advisers — Arun Rewal, Banashree Banerjee, Dr. Divya Sharma, Mriganka Saxena, and Akshima Ghate
— who have shared their wisdom and experience with the NIUA team and our technical partners from RICS India, D.T.V. Raghu Ramaswamy,
Ashish Gupta, Dr. Anil Sawhney and Sunil Agarwal. The project has been made possible through the generous funding provided by the
Prosperity Fund of the Foreign & Commonwealth Office of the United Kingdom and the support and encouragement provided by Ms. Natalie
Toms, Mr. Sushil Rana and the team at the UK High Commission.

Smart City Mission Guidelines

The purpose of the National Smart City Mission is to drive economic


growth and improve the quality of life of people in Indian cities
by enabling local area development and harnessing technology,
especially technology that leads to "smart" outcomes. It proposes to
do so through projects implemented in the form of:

• Pan City Initiatives that are city level interventions, focusing on


smart solutions and technology.
• Area Based Development (ABD) projects for a specific site in
the city, which include interventions that focus on developing/
retrofitting/redeveloping the site. Area Based Development

MAPPING TOD GUIDANCE DOCUMENT, GLOBAL REVIEW AND SCP
The document on transportation-land-use Integration provides a
theoretical framework for assessing Transit Oriented Development
in an Indian Smart City, based on learning from global best practices.
It follows the idea of integrating the concept of 3 Ds — Density,
Diversity and Design, with Housing and Mobility to create five
constructs of a TOD. The document further recommends Principles,
Strategies and Interventions under each Construct.

The projects proposed in the Smart City Mission align directly with
the Sub-Components listed in the TOD Guidance Document, and the

TOD PRINCIPLES

The Guidance Document derives the Principles, Components and


Sub-Components from a study of global best practice examples
of TOD design and planning fundamentals, contextualised for
application in Indian cities. They are also meant to be revised through
further research and implementation experiences. Following the
recommendation, this publication suggests some additional Sub-

and national & international best practices

ANALYSING THE SMART CITY PLANS


The extent to which TOD is addressed in an SCP varies across the
cities, but it can be broadly categorised into two types: cities that
specifically recognise TOD as a strategy, and cities that illustrate
land-use-transportation integration. So far, the MoUD has selected 60
cities in the Smart Cities Mission (Light House, Fast Track and Round
2). Among these, 41 have identified TOD or land-use-transportation
integration as an approach. The table on the next page shows the
classification of these 41 cities. This publication looks at some of the
cities from categories highlighted in table. These cities were chosen

EXPECTED OUTCOME OF THIS PUBLICATION
1. It will facilitate an understanding of the variety of ways in which TOD can be used by a city to enhance the quality of life for
citizens, such as redirecting growth within the city, and addressing the question of affordable housing.
2. It will help to identify the Constructs (Design, Density, Diversity, Housing and Mobility) that have been addressed by each city and
the Constructs whose adoption can be strengthened.
3. It will help to identify the Components that a city can add to improve its TOD.
4. It will provide an opportunity for cities to learn from each other based on the similarity of their project and progress in
implementation of various projects within the different constructs of a TOD.
5. It will provide an understanding of the level of detail required for preparation of the DPR for each city.
6. List of additional Sub-Components based on the results of the analysis, global best case examples, and the inputs from expert

CHALLENGES FOR RANCHI


The city of Ranchi recognises the following as the
major challenges in the future:

• Lack of affordable housing


• Limited land availability as a result of the
Chota Nagpur Tenancy Act (CNTA)
• Lack of public transit and consequent modal
shift towards private vehicles
• Outward migration of younger population

on the National Building Code 2005. These are applicable for all
regional development authorities in the State and ULBs.

Jharkhand Affordable Housing Policy, 2016 was prepared by the


Urban Development and Housing Department of the Government of
Jharkhand in 2015. The resolution for its approval was passed in
April 2016 by the government. It follows the government's "Housing
for All" policy. Its aim is to provide affordable housing in urban
areas. It primarily targets EWS and LIG households. The policy is
applicable to municipal areas as notified by the government.

Following the overall constructs of TOD discussed earlier in the


book, we can see that Ranchi is putting together a development
framework that will address some of the key challenges it faces in
the upcoming years. This framework is discussed below in context of
the city's existing scenarios.

The SWOT6 the following challenges in Panaji:

• Restrictions on develop-able land due to CRZ regulations and


prohibition of any construction in heritage conservation zone.
• A major portion of the city is part of the eco-sensitive
zone consisting of 4% land under watershed, 4% land
under heritage conservation, and 26% land under natural
resources.
• The area discussed above consumes 34% of the total city
land and is available for accommodating urban growth and
expansion.7
• Spiralling real estate costs and restrictive FAR in the city lead to
unplanned outgrowths.
• Investment in Goa’s real estate by pensioners and wealthy
individuals from neighbouring metros have hiked the prices
of homes by almost 100% in the last five years, according to
industry experts.8
• The nature of growth of real estate, the unavailability
of develop-able land and restriction on the nature of
development, such as high rises due to CRZ regulations, is
leading to urban sprawl in the form of outgrowths.
• Lack of public transportation and high dependence on private
vehicles.
• Public transportation is almost non-existent in the city with
a mode share of buses and mini buses as low as 2.3%.
• Two-wheelers have the highest mode share of 59.08%,

Annexure II
ADDITIONAL SUB-COMPONENTS
• Development (increase in population and built-up area) should be scaled to the population that the infrastructure can
support through an Impact Assessment (including traffic and environment impact)
• Design streets as per IRC Standards for universal access
• Design buildings as per NBC to allow universal access and utility
• Provide clarity on all charges and levies up front
• Ensure single window clearance for speed of approval
• Overlay District can be used as an intermediate tool to delineate the TOD Influence Area and to implement TOD
Policies. It should eventually become a part of the Master Plan during the next revision.
• If the city’s Master Plan is being revised, TOD Influence Area should be designated to enable the implementation of
TOD Policies in the future.
