URBANENCROACH

Urban encroachment means illegally using theresources on which you don’t have legal

rights. If defining in terms of land or physical

structures then it can be said that

encroachment means building structures in

property boundaries which may belong to

government, individual or any institution.

‘encroachment’

/noun/

Intrusion on a person’s territory, rights, etc


12/68

Land encroachment is a very

common phenomenon in both rural

and urban areas. But the problems

due to encroachment are more

apparent and acute in urban areas

where the rising population and

decreasing natural resources like

water, land and clean air, are posing

challenges to sustainable urban

development.


13/68


14/68

Our ‘Smart cities’ of future

desperately need all these

resources, but first of all the land

to build a smart urban

infrastructure. In urban areas the

rampant land encroachment has

led to unplanned growth and

unstopped environmental

degradation.


15/68

Causes of Urban Encroachment

Building Pressure on urban land like urbanization and land scarcity for development of urban infrastruct

Unawareness about legal policies and land unethical behaviour of shopkeepers

weak urban governance

Lack of political consensus and commitment,

Poor monitoring, lack of laws and weak implementation of bye laws and lack of punitive action against e

Inadequate parking facilities

Excessive overhangs that cross the road projection

Irregular installation of services


16/68

Solutions adopted by different various cities in India that were suffering from encroachment

In Ahmedabad the municipal law in Gujarat prohibits the hawking of goods without a license.

The Municipal Corporation is also empowered to remove any encroachments and obstruction

made on the streets. The Bombay Police Act 1950 empowers the police to arrest hawkers for

obstructing free flow of traffic under sections 102 and 107. A natural market is a place where

vending activities take place, due to the profitable locational aspect. There are 142 Natural

markets in Ahmedabad.

Ahmedabad

No regulation of licensing, last licensing was done in 1992 for about 500 vendors.

10 wards were being appointed to cater different zones of Vadodara.

Hawking and Non-Hawking Zones are defined by each ward.

Vadodara

Bangalore

Hawking can be carried on only in the hawking zones between 8 A.M. and 8 P.M.

Hawkers are not permitted to sell their goods at busy circle intersections.

The license may be renewed at the decision of the commissioner.

VISUAL CHHamirpur is a town lying somewherebetween an old hill town it once used to

be, and a modern town that is trying to

get developed. This divide that there is,

has led to an uneven development

creating a haphazard visual identity of

the town, a visual chaos.

‘chaos’ /’keɪɒs / noun

complete disorder and confusion.

implementing laws strictly in market area

numbers of motor vehicles in small

geographic areas.
