    The document presents findings from a neighborhood study of Byculla, Mumbai. It describes the area's housing typologies including chawls, walk-up apartments, and high-rise buildings. It also maps the transportation network, land use patterns, key landmarks, public and religious spaces, and vegetation. The urban fabric is characterized by a mix of formal planned developments and informal unplanned areas with high pedestrian activity and eyes on the street. Opportunities exist to improve walkability and public amenities while threats include safety issues due to narrow streets and loss of cultural heritage from urbanization.

    Eyes on the street

    ● The pedestrian movement is more in the unplanned area


    because of the visual connectivity between the
    trespassers, the street and the owners resulting in more
    eyes on the street. This creates a sense of safety also
    during night.

    ● The eyes on the street in the planned area where there are
    a lot of high rise buildings are very less as compared to that
    of the unplanned area. This results in lack of safety and
    security during day as well as night on the, other hand it
    becomes a shady area
