Informal settlements dominate a lot of the world’s emerging cityscape. The tense social and spatial circumstances they bring forth render most urban techniques ineffective. Neither prime-down planning, defined by a technocratic strategy of ever bigger infrastructure, nor bottom-up efforts, in the kind of increasingly sophisticated neighborhood level projects, seem capable to meet the challenges at the scale the establishing metropolis demands. Can micro-scale interventions be designed to accomplish citywide techniques?
This conceptual divide is additional exacerbated in Mumbai, where slums that make up two-thirds of the population reduce via the entire island city in a sharp spatial divide. Attempts to address the dire challenges from, water safety to pollution and extreme congestion, are limited to either the formal or informal settlements. MARS Architects has produced a vision for a United Mumbai, the starting point for incorporating informal settlements as totally integrated parts of the formal city.
More than the coming weeks, stakeholder meetings will be held at the Guggenheim Lab Mumbai to talk about our ten proposed technologies, from wall systems to transport systems. Stick to us as an expanding method of architectural interventions turns slums into sustainable settlements, which in turn become the backbone of a United Mumbai.
Component 1: SPI MODEL
The foundation of this project is an in-depth study of Mumbai’s population density. Not merely mapping Mumbai’s infamous situations in abstract terms but introducing a new methodology that greater represents the knowledge on the ground. The new metric, named the Stacked Population Index (SPI), measures the density of folks per amount of offered floor surface. Suddenly the accurate extents of Mumbai’s informal settlements can be observed: a yellow forest of towering densities covers the whole urban landscape. The harsh reality the city accommodates two thirds of its population on much less than a quarter of its residential surface, and but urban plans for Mumbai largely ignore their existence.

Informal settlements dominate considerably of the world’s emerging cityscape. The tense social and spatial situations they bring forth render most urban techniques ineffective. Neither top-down preparing, defined by a technocratic method of ever larger infrastructure, nor bottom-up efforts, in the kind of increasingly sophisticated neighborhood level projects, seem able to meet the challenges at the scale the developing metropolis demands. Can micro-scale interventions be designed to accomplish citywide strategies?
This conceptual divide is further exacerbated in Mumbai, where slums that make up two-thirds of the population cut by means of the complete island city in a sharp spatial divide. Attempts to address the dire challenges from, water safety to pollution and serious congestion, are restricted to either the formal or informal settlements. MARS Architects has produced a vision for a United Mumbai, the starting point for incorporating informal settlements as completely integrated components of the formal city.
More than the coming weeks, stakeholder meetings will be held at the Guggenheim Lab Mumbai to go over our ten proposed technologies, from wall systems to transport systems. Follow us as an expanding method of architectural interventions turns slums into sustainable settlements, which in turn turn into the backbone of a United Mumbai.

The foundation of this project is an in-depth study of Mumbai’s population density. Not merely mapping Mumbai’s infamous circumstances in abstract terms but introducing a new methodology that greater represents the experience on the ground. The new metric, named the Stacked Population Index (SPI), measures the density of people per quantity of offered floor surface. Abruptly the true extents of Mumbai’s informal settlements can be observed: a yellow forest of towering densities covers the entire urban landscape. The harsh reality the city accommodates two thirds of its population on significantly less than a quarter of its residential surface, and yet urban plans for Mumbai mainly ignore their existence.

Informal settlements dominate considerably of the world’s emerging cityscape. The tense social and spatial circumstances they bring forth render most urban techniques ineffective. Neither leading-down arranging, defined by a technocratic approach of ever bigger infrastructure, nor bottom-up efforts, in the kind of increasingly sophisticated community level projects, look capable to meet the challenges at the scale the creating metropolis demands. Can micro-scale interventions be developed to attain citywide strategies?
This conceptual divide is additional exacerbated in Mumbai, exactly where slums that make up two-thirds of the population reduce through the complete island city in a sharp spatial divide. Attempts to address the dire challenges from, water safety to pollution and severe congestion, are limited to either the formal or informal settlements. MARS Architects has created a vision for a United Mumbai, the starting point for incorporating informal settlements as completely integrated components of the formal city.
Over the coming weeks, stakeholder meetings will be held at the Guggenheim Lab Mumbai to discuss our ten proposed technologies, from wall systems to transport systems. Comply with us as an expanding system of architectural interventions turns slums into sustainable settlements, which in turn turn out to be the backbone of a United Mumbai.

Not merely mapping Mumbai’s infamous situations in abstract terms but introducing a new methodology that greater represents the experience on the ground. The new metric, called the Stacked Population Index (SPI), measures the density of men and women per quantity of available floor surface. Abruptly the correct extents of Mumbai’s informal settlements can be observed: a yellow forest of towering densities covers the entire urban landscape. The harsh reality the city accommodates two thirds of its population on significantly less than a quarter of its residential surface, and yet urban plans for Mumbai mostly ignore their existence.
