66 sRA buiLdings & pRiVAte LAnds RoAds & ALLeys This map indicates the areas demarcated as SRA housing and private lands. The SRA & private lands together comprise 29% of the total area of Sector IV. Most of the SRA buildings concentrate on the residential component of the scheme since the commercial component is sold as TDR. Even so, these buildings reveal a high density configuration with poor lighting conditions, high maintenance costs, lack of proper infrastructure and facilities. Since 2004, when DRP was approved, SRA housing has been disallowed. pubLic toiLets Common toilets have been constructed under public programmes. On an average, a toilet seat is shared by close to a thousand residents. Public toilets and amenities comprise 1% of the total area of Sector IV. Pedestrian pathways throughout Dharavi are connected to vehicular roads that go on to connect to the main roads of the city. The vehicular roads (AB, CD, and EF) mainly carry heavy A vehicular traffic throughout the day. Commercial and industrial tenements, shops and informal markets line both sides of these roads. The narrow alleys filter the traffic and restrict vehicular movement - making them predominantly pedestrian, and safe and usable for children and residents. tRAffic LoAding AVeRAge no. of VeHicLes/HouR RoAd Ab cd ef 2wHeeLeR 33 77 29 bicycLe / HAAtH-gAAdi 8 4 71 Auto 16 2 cAR 16 13 tRuck 23 2 goods cARRiAge 4 2 c e Ab cd ef b f d 67
68 institutions Religious Institutions There are religious institutions from small and large shrines to mosques and churches spread all over the area, sharing common gathering spaces and some strategically located within multifunctional open spaces. All religious activities are well integrated within the physical fabric and allow for strong social interaction during religious festivals as well as in day-to-day life. Educational Institutions The kind of educational institutions that are found in Dharavi are not very high-end but comprise small balwadis, primary schools and very few higher secondary schools. Though there are higher-level educational institutions outside Dharavi but close-by, it is necessary to assess local needs in relation to existing supply. Medical Institutions There are small ayurvedic, homeopathic and allopathic clinics spread within the residential/ commercial fabric, responding to local community needs. Sion Hospital located on the Sion-Mahim Link Road is the main medical insitution for the people of Dharavi. ReLigious institutions educAtionAL institutions medicAL institutions muLti-functionAL community open spAces ResidentiAL open spAces The larger open areas allow for multiple activities such as celebrating festivals, sports, markets, other community gatherings and work-related activities. They constitute a very important socio-cultural space, strengthening the community spirit of the people of Dharavi. The smaller open spaces are used for day-to-day activites like washing/drying clothes, cutting vegetables, small-scale embroidery, etc. These serve as pause spaces for informal gatherings and for children to play besides providing breathing space. 69
