[@shrihara]

@@Vajrapani108 which is safer and better?

[@Vajrapani108]

@@shrihara a 5 floor apartment is inhertingly safer than a 20 floor apartment. In any case of disaster, a 5 floor apartment can be evacuated far more easily than a skyscraper, by the simple maths that in taller buildings more people will have to pass through a specific unit of area than if the building was shorter. And if your building is wider than is taller (as is in most shorter structures), you can have more methods of evacuation, that is more stairs and elevators per unit of area. Not to mention, a lot of space does indeed gets wasted building taller buildings. It may sound contrardictary to the whole notion, but you can't build 200 meters high on mere 1000 square feet. Infact You need more space to make sure that the building is stable, and your lower floors will have to be wider than the floors above. And this is not even mentioning other things like health care, children health and mental health. It's far easier to get someone medical help if he's not living a 100 metres above ground, unless off course every apparent has its own doctor and hospital. Another problem is societal interaction. The ease of accessing the outside world in shorter building promotes people getting outside regularly and not only on work, but this ease is absent in taller buildings. Infact the act of climbing down(or using the elevators) might serve the opposite. And to add it, In a tall building, you at most know the person on the same floor, and even then, it's highly likely that they remain mere acquaintances. This wouldn't happen in shorter buildings. And before you say that existence of elevators makes up for the inconveniences of living further from the ground, the overuse of elevators will cause even more health problems like obesity. All and all, skycrapers aren't the best way of dealing with housing problems, as it would create new problems instead. The answer is always good city planning, having a sprawling residential area connected to the commercial and market area by good and convenient high speed public transit.

One more reason for the higher land cost in Mumbai is the long pending civil litigation with respect to properties resulting in fewer litigation free plots of land to build on.

The other side of building skyscrapers is maintaining them. And believe me, when it comes to maintainanace of anything, we indians are worst. We have corruption in saftey board beurocrats, and many of buildings/apartments in suburbs are already waiting for redevelopment. In some cases, people have died as old buildings have collapsed. Demolition of older buildings/apartment is not a common practice in India unlike Manhattan, Hong Kong, etc. Before thinking of higher FSI in India, we must execute stringent saftey policies for people who would be living/working in such skyscrapers.

Are people really unaware of such concepts? Mumbai really needs to increase FSI from 1 to 20 atleast by this year itself. Another question is, why wouldn't cities around the world keep FSI infinity?

[@-Rishikesh]

It's not safe.. Consider the example of Chennai.. During heavy floods buildings got destructed because the ground underneath cannot support the weight.. The FSI value should really depend on the soil quality and each building built with a large fsi should ideally be reconstructed after a prescribed time usually around 40-50 years. In india that is pretty much not the case.

FSI doesn't limit the amount of floors you can build. You could theoretically construct a 130 story skyscraper in Mumbai as long as you use 1% or less of the land you bought. 50% -> 2.6 stories 25% -> 5.2 stories 10% -> 13 stories 1% -> 130 stories

What would happen if FSI of Mumbai will increase to 12 or 15 like New York or Chicago, another Mumbai will appear vertically above the existing Mumbai. More space will be available for residential and commercial activities. After increasing FSI, the vehicle population will definitely increase, but does our existing roads cater that traffic which were generated by additional FSI? Though the share of public transport in Mumbai is high compared to other metro cities but still city roads are congested. We vertically creates new city but for commuting from one place to another place you have to come on roads. Today for 1.3 FSI, city roads are so congested that the average peak hour speed lies between 20 to 30 Kmph, after increasing FSI the situation will be worsen, hence to cater this situation we have to provide additional space for roads, do we have space for widening of city Roads? Maximum city roads are already occupied by on street vehicle parking. Increasing FSI might help in creating additional space for on street vehicles but still we need capacity augmentation of road infrastructure, this requires enormous amount of funding. Increasing FSI and creating additional space is not that simple as mentioned by Mr. Kshitij Batra and Mr. Reuben Abraham, you have to think every aspects of planning. Do we have such policy like Singapore for owning a new vehicle or controlling the growth of vehicle population? There are many constrains that are directly related to FSI.

If FSI in mumbai is 1.3 ,then how is Antilla is built?

[@umbrellacorporation5723]

22 million population. R u smoking weed. It's 18 million as of 2015

[@umbrellacorporation5723]

Siddharth Kumar 12 million in proper mumbai, 18 in metro mumbai

[@kabir3496]

And u smokimg marijuana? 18M was in 2011. Adding 4M in 7 is no big deal, Bangalore and Hyderabad have done same to themselves.

[@kunal-ko]

Overporuring of people from small villages and towns are reason for that.

[@AbhijeetDolai007]

Honestly, before watching the video, I assumed it to be a just another "India-bashing" video. I was wrong. More videos please!

[@caicai2323]

mumbai was just like shanghai 25years ago 。。。

[@wiliam7670]

7:15 what's to say the population won't double if the FSI is increased? Won't other Indians from other cities take advantage of the higher FSI leading to more crowding?

[@walterdennisclark]

Someone explain to me how the poor can live where the land value is so high? Is there price controls there?

[@TheGeneralThings]

From what it looks like, it's a combination of being grandfathered into rent-controlled units and living in slums instead of formal housing.

[@vahsirartapaham4578]

^that's not true , it's the costliest in India .Just take Mumbai metro fares for instance . but relative to other big cities of the world it's very cheap

[@rajuseth1683]

there are 500 cities in india,some have the lowest price,no one has asked poor to live in city which u cant afford...goto a place where prices are appropriate to you...delhi,mumbai are hub of corporated & people earn finest salaries so if you are here living on 10k...u are going to end up in slum,...shift to other growing cities,these migrants are fool they live only in big cities & dont care about the living standards Delhi mumbai kolkata banglore hyderabad are some most expensice cities of world!!

[@rajuseth1683]

that 20 is due to subsidy...remove the caps & mumbaikers will be on street(well they are already) like beggers..see the response of AC local,it is running empty,but claim to have highest per capita income

[@vaibhavlalit]

Actually, prices are not high..They are unaffordable now.

[@surajagarwal25may]

This video was very Informative, Thank you.

[@Slitcutter]

Taller buildings need more cement (more foundation) and steel. Which India as a relatively weak industrial country has always lacked. Also the environmental impact was totally ignored in this video. Let's see, all that mass on a small piece of reclaimed earth hmmm... May be not that simple.

[@divyeshsonawane7521]

Government is busy in building Shivani Statue in the sea and this is not an urgent issue for the government.

[@shubhamvyas3192]

Divyesh Sonawane Cause you only look one side and not all the sides. And making a statue doesn't make the govt. Not focus the fucking issue, it doesn't happen all of a sudden

[@hatakekakashi4281]

I think they beat the phillippines to the most slum city because the slum of the phillippines is slowy go out

[@abhijiitshahane2444]

HATAKE KAKASHI nah .Mumbai is also demolishing slums and providing rehabilitation
