Two elements: People and infrastructure form the foundation of the city's development and influence each other in a loop. Infrastructure is a ‘basic physical framework’ which ensures smooth working of the city and comfort of its people. Our cities have witnessed the use of infrastructure planned centuries ago like Railways, Churches, Temples, government buildings, Libraries, etc. as well as advanced proposals like Underground-elevated Metros, Bridges, Coastal roads, Flyovers, etc. These physical systems were developed and planned in a specific Time frame and it ensured the best usage then. Jail being one such system established by the Britishers which is functional even today, but Are they efficient and suffice the demands as they did 100-150 years ago? Are they relevant today? Can such infrastructure adapt to the changing perspective of the people, their demands and make them suitable for future cities? The dissertation thus put forth an inquiry of how Jails (sit right in the core, as a crumbling infrastructure) can be adapted to form an ‘Urban Courtyard’ and explored further to make it more relevant to developing smart cities. The study aims to understand the development and needs of the city, its smart future, and the impact of this growth on aging infrastructure. Adapting to the changes, the intervention can thus be an opportunity benefiting the city and its people. KEYWORDS: Old infrastructure, Jails, Time frames, Relevance, Future smart City, Adaptability, Urban courtyard नगरांगण – Exploring Jail Infrastructure as an Urban courtyard.

Sanjay Mehta : : : : : : : : : : : https://issuu.com/aoa_confluence_2022/docs/atharvar_47_dd_book_for_issuu : Studio Conductors : : : The DMIC (Delhi – Mumbai Industrial Corridor) project was launched in pursuance of a MOU signed between the Government of India and the Government of Japan in December 2006. "The project’s aim is to create a business model out of urbanization and the trunk infrastructure would help in land monetization and undertaking-specific greenfield and brownfield industrial and physical infrastructure projects. While the corridor stretches from Dadri to JNPT the JNPT near Mumbai, it engages six more states in it namely, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Gujarat and Maharashtra. In Maharashtra, an additional elongation of the corridor has been decided and to connect the JNPT and the Dighi Port from the Raigad district was the new plan. Because of these unexpected alterations in the project, the state government started acquiring land of the people from the district on a very short notice. These resulted in the protest against the project as the people were totally unaware of the purpose for the land acquisition, their unassured Rehabilitation and were also unsatisfied about the compensation promised for their land. Many farm lands and undocumented lands of the adivasis were also illegally acquired by the land agents even before the project was announced to the common people. Raigad being very close in proximity with Mumbai and Navi Mumbai and also because of the smooth connectivity through both roadways and waterway, the district has been always under rapid urbanization and several infrastructural developments. This has been a threat to the farming sector and the agricultural graph is seen to be continuously falling down. With the industrialization and enhancement of the corporate sector because of the DMIC the leftover agricultural land would undoubtedly be abandoned and people will have no option but to leave farming and move towards the private sector. There needs to be a platform established for the farming community and the youth to emphasize the scope in the field to give them enough reason to direct and advance their skills in the agriculture sector. Hence, educating and empowering not only the farmer’s group but also the new generation is necessary to sustain farming for a longer run and balance the agriculture and the industrial sector after completion of the DMIC project by the year 2035. A farmers’ training institute where advanced farming methods and modern strategies for better yield are proposed in the research. It will be assisted with tourist facilities to promote the fundamental program and also the context of the selected site highly demands the assisted program. Large emphasis of the program is to work for the beneficiaries of the affected villages by the DMIC and to provide employment opportunities through farming as a medium. Hence, promoting FPO (Farmer producer organization) which will also look upon the outsource of the produce and can become a reliable solution in the initial building phase of the project. The research involves study of the existing socio economic fabric of the affected villages of Raigad district and what transition would it go through in the development phase of the DMIC. Its positive and negative impact on the locals and what initiatives would aid the farming community to sustain in the near and the long future is catered in the program formulation part of the research. To ensure the cohesive working of the industrial and the agricultural sector in the affected region by the Delhi Mumbai Industrial corridor and finding appropriate proposals for the interest of the people has been the ultimate purpose of the research.

Narrative: The “15-minute city” is an approach to urban design that aims to improve quality of life by creating cities where everything a resident needs can be reached within 15 minutes by foot, bike or public transit. This concept puts an emphasis on careful planning at the neighborhood level, giving each district the features it needs to support a full life – including jobs, food, recreation, green space, housing, medical offices, small businesses and more and most importantly, it’s a proposal that doesn’t require a car. A 15-minute city has affordable, accessible and adaptable housing for households of all sizes and ages. It is easy to get goods and services, healthcare, fresh groceries, and all other amenities. The need for transportation is minimized to a great extent to curb pollution and keep a check on people’s health and wellbeing.

Narrative: The vision of creating a machine like system which works like a factory to heal the patients is the idea of the project. Rethinking about the healthcare infrastructure is of the utmost need of the time, because of the collapse which India especially Mumbai has seen due to the outbreak of the coronavirus is unimaginable. The idea of creating control over movement and sequences of patients in cooperation with infrastructure development is the need of healthcare architecture. There has to be some initiative which ponders upon the idea of sustaining any kind of pandemic catering to huge amount of patients which can only be achieved through the system of proper control and expansions with a strong backup. Sticking to the basics of factories' process of manufacturing, packaging and delivering; one with this monotonous routine can have a clear idea of connections with no loopholes for any sabotage or out-break. The tree like planning governs an upper hand over the existing rhizomatic planning for better connections and proper safety of care takers. We strongly believe that steel as a material would act as a catalyst in this process of creating fast, simple and a basic design.
