Abstract
In various urban agglomerations throughout India and especially in Mumbai, there is a serious problem with old and dilapidated buildings in the city core. These buildings, mostly small in land and built-up area, are single isolated buildings which are in dilapidated state and are more than 30 years old. Yet the tenants/owners are living in them. These buildings form a major part of Thane, suburban Mumbai and Mumbai respectively. If these buildings are redeveloped, it will lead to better housing for tenants, increase the facade of buildings, bring in more open spaces and amenities, increase the value of real estate, and so on. Redevelopment is basically demolishing the old building and erecting a new, more structurally sound building on the same site with the same or more built-up area. The redevelopment process itself is ridden with various barriers and difficulties and is in no way a cakewalk for any of the stakeholder. One of the key problems is the implementation of 79 - A Process which is applicable to whole of Maharashtra is not done properly. As the redevelopment process done in Maharashtra is as per Section 79 - A of the MCS Act, which is compulsory to be followed, its study is important to make the process of redevelopment more user-friendly by proposing some changes. The research will help to identify general technical shortcomings in the 79 - A process of redevelopment of old buildings as per the Maharashtra Co-operative Societies Act 1960, respectively. The main aim of the study in this paper is to study in depth the existing Section 79 - A process of the Maharashtra Cooperative Societies Act, and compare it with Section 41- A of the Gujarat ownership flats Act, and suggest a few plausible and sound improvements in Section 79-A process backed by the, collected data from study area, its analysis other similar literature survey respectively.
