Dear Sagar, This is an opportune time to give inputs to Mumbai Development Plan 2014 - 2034. You may refer to Street design guidelines for ensuring a barrier free environment that are currently applicable to Delhi for guidance and comment where access issues have not been integrated.
Strengthening Development Plans is an important step however, subsequently, to get these plans implemented, the stakeholders need to be little more vociferous. Best of policies remain on paper in absence of active engagement of concerned stakeholders. Here is the link to the Street Design Guidelines prepared by UTTIPEC - arm of Delhi Development Authority under Ministry of Urban Development. http://www.uttipec.nic.in/StreetGuidelines-R1-Feb2011-UTTPEC-DDA.pdf You may also like to refer to similar efforts in European countries where they name it as Street Design guidelines for healthy neighbourhoods or walkable communities. Here is one such paper http://contextsensitivesolutions.org/content/reading/street-design/resources/3918-270-street-design-guidelines-for-healthy-neighborhoods/ Hope this helps.
