Mumbai Mirror ( 15 March ) carries following news :
I could not get an accurate picture but from what I
found online , following picture emerged of the slums surrounding Juhu Airport:
·
Area over which slums are spread ……………………………….
50 acres
·
No of hutments…………………………………………………………… 6,000
·
No of slum dwellers……………………………………………………… 100,000
·
No of families……………………………………………………………… 20,000
Government plans to build new / pucca flats on this
land and allot to the slum-dwellers
This is a very humane and practical decision since
these slum dwellers earn their livelihood by working in nearby areas
Giving them flats which are 25 km away from their
work-place would be meaningless
No one will want to move that far away !

HOW
SHOULD MAHARASHTRA GOVERNMENT GO ABOUT THIS PROJECT ?
50 acres is nearly 21.8 lakh
sq ft
If FSI of 3.5 is
permitted , that would provide for built-up area of 76.3 lakh
sq ft
At 400 sq ft per flat, that would give 19,000 flats
To build these 19,000 flats within 100 weeks ( less
than 2 years ) , Maharashtra Government should invite WinSun Construction Technologies of China
WHY WinSun ?
# On 29 March 2014 , WinSun constructed TEN , 3D printed
houses ( 200 sq meter
each ) in Shanghai, each costing $ 4,800 (
approx Rs 3 lakh ! )
THIS WORKS OUT TO RS 150 PER SQ FT !
# On 17 July 2015 , using its 3D printing technology ,
WinSun built a 2 storey villa , in
just 3 HOURS !
# WinSun holds 98
patents for construction materials
# For 3D printing
of houses , WinSun , mostly uses recycled construction materials
# 3D house-printing
technology saves,
* 30% -60 % of building materials
* 70 % of production time
* 80 % of construction cost
# Egypt Government has
placed on WinSun , an order for supplying 20,000 pre-
fabricated , 3D printed houses
# In Egypt , WinSun will
establish 12 Dream Factories ( to build pre-fabricated houses )
within 2 years
These
factories will mostly use desert sand as its main construction material , which
was found ideal for 3D printing of houses !
# In next 3 years ,
WinSun will set up ( in JV with local parties ) , similar factories in 20
countries , including Saudi
Arabia , UAE , Qatar , Mexico , S. Korea , Russia , Morocco
Tunisia , and USA
