Although India is one of the less urbanized countries of the world with only 32 percent of her
population living in urban agglomerations/towns, this country is facing a serious crisis of urban
growth at the present time. Whereas urbanisation has been an instrument of economic, social and
political progress, it has led to serious socio-economic problems.
The sheer magnitude of the urban population, haphazard and unplanned growth of urban areas, and
a desperate lack of infrastructure are the main causes of such a situation. The rapid growth of urban
population both natural and through migration, has put heavy pressure on public utilities like
housing, sanitation, transport, water, electricity, health, education and so on.

URBAN
ENCROACHMENT
Solutions adopted by different various cities in India that were suffering from encroachment
Ahmedabad
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.
Vadodara
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.
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.

STEPS TO BE
TAKEN TO
RESOLVE THE
ISSUE
We propose to lay the electrical and telephone wires underground as this will
greatly improve the view of the streets in the town and also will make it safe
We have proposed a regular sloping roof for all the shops in the market
area. This will create a sense of harmony in the market, and create an
interesting roofline
Faade control : specified window design for upper floors and specified colour shades
for exterior walls
The exterior walls will have mostly a fixed type of paint/cladding depending upon different stretches of the
market, and a band of a fixed colour will run through the top part of every building, to add a feeling of continuity
in the market
In a specific area of the market, all shops will have a specifically designed banner of fixed size which be
compulsorily hung at a fixed height from the floor.
Also, the display of advert banners along the road and between the two sides of roads will be banned by
implementing laws strictly in market area
