The document summarizes information about Borivali Market in Mumbai, India. It describes Borivali as a suburban area of Mumbai with over 1 million inhabitants. It has a railway station that serves 2.5 lakh people daily and a major vegetable market located 0.05km from the station. The market currently causes congestion as vendors have set up stalls on the road after the municipal market building became inaccessible. The document proposes a design to organize the market and traffic by moving the bus stand and rickshaw stand in and integrating the municipal office and market into a single building with parking.

INTRODUCTION AND ANALYSIS
4th YEAR 2014-15 I TOWN PLANNING I BORIVALI MARKET I I.E.S COLLEGE OF ARCHITECTURE
• Market:
• Located on the western side, 0.05km away from the
railway station, along the western side of S.V. Road
• Majorly a vegetable market.
• Only wholesale market in the western suburbs of
Mumbai which is located close to the station and it
caters to all the smaller markets on the western side.
• Consist of BMC Market Building which is currently
defunct as its access is inconvenient. This has caused
the vendors to resort to hawing on the road abutting
the market, causing congestion.
• Bus Depot:
• Major bus depot located on the east, which connects to
various western suburbs by the western express
highway and Thane district via Ghodbunder Road.
• No such facility on the western side. There is only one
bus stop on S.V Road which causes traffic congestion
on S.V Road.
LEGEND:
Markets in
Western Suburbs
S.W.O.T Analysis:
STRENGHTS:
•Only wholesale market in Borivali
•Well organized bus terminal located
on the eastern side
•Forms a connecting point linking the
western suburbs and the extended
suburbs.
WEAKNESS:
•Organized bus terminal located merely
on the eastern side
•Contains the Municipal market building
which is inaccessible because of which
the vegetable hawkers have taken to
setting up their galas on the market
road
•Skyway does not have openings at strategic locations i.e. the
station, the market but only terminates near the bus stop
which ensures a huge crowd near the bus terminal
•Market opens onto the main road(SV road) which forms a
bottle neck junction for the transit
OPPORTUNITIES:
•Can be developed
as a transit hub
•Traffic congestion
can be reduced on
the main road
•Redirecting of the
skywalks to allow
for better
movement patterns
THREATS:
•Heavy moving traffic
on the SV road
proves to be unsafe
for pedestrians

DESIGN:-
•Due to over crowding of people,
cars, buses resulted in heavy traffic
plus unorganised pedestrian flow. To
curb the traffic caused by parked
rickshaws and buses on S.V. road
the rickshaw and the bus stand have
been moved in. With the help of new
design the rickshaws and the buses
will be redirected to their respective
stands resulting a smooth flow of
traffic on S.V road.
•The BMC office, market and storage
area have been all taken into a one
single building. Market is located on
the ground floor as well as at G+2
level for the people using the sky
walk. The sky walk will directly enter
this level.
•A parking lot has been provided at
the basement of this structure. This
will avoid the heavy traffic on S.V
road caused due to parked private
vehicles. A separate loading
unloading platform has been
provided.

7. DESIGN PROPOSAL AND ITS FUTURE REPLICATION
4th YEAR 2014-15 I TOWN PLANNING I BORIVALI MARKET I I.E.S COLLEGE OF ARCHITECTURE
FUTURE REPLICATION:
Vegetables markets with railway
connectivity:
• Apart from Borivali, similar
vegetable markets prevail in some
other areas too like Dadar and
Kalyan.
• It is easier and convenient for
transportation of goods, while
coming in from the farther villages
and remote areas to these markets
from where the vegetables are
supplied to the other suburbs and
retailers.
• Such a market becomes very useful
especially for the working class
people who can buy their vegetables
on their respective ways back home
after spending h=the whole day in
the office. Still the market not being
away from the reach of the local city
crowd.
• The Borivali Vegetable Market, at a
50m walk from Borivali Railway
station makes it convenient for the
local crowd as well as the passing by
crowd to buy the vegetables on their
way back home.
• Borivali Vegetable market serves the
local crowd as well as to the nearby
suburbs, Kandivali, Malad, Vasai,
Virar, etc.
