Design Problem
The challenge here is to propose a new system ‘Hyper Local’ for the commuters, and express the vision of how the city might appear in 2030. It is a new network that caters to existing and upcoming issues of Mumbai – and is not limited to commuting, but more. Will your design drive more people to use the public modes of transportation? Or will it generate a balance between private and public modes? The underlying motive is to capture a conceptual picture of how the ‘hyperlocal’ responds to the issues mentioned above and overall Mumbai?
Location
As a design challenge, the entire rail network of Mumbai connecting the local stations acts as the underlying site. The difference here is a patch of land that runs through the entire city connected from end to end. An intervention like this can heal, build, enrich the entire city within. But to set a prototype for addressing common issues and possible outcomes at a practical level, the site selected is the link between stations of Andheri and Vile Parle on the Western Line of Mumbai suburban network. This patch of the land is inclusive of both the stations. Source by and images Courtesy of Commun.
