DESCRIPTION:Amita Bhide\nTrajectories of planning in Mumbai have considera
 bly transformed in the last twenty years. Mumbai is a city that has been s
 haped by planning as much as by informality. These informalities initially
  emerged as a response to the shortfalls of provision by the state. This b
 egan to slowly change in the eighties and informality assumed the form of 
 a regime supported by the state. The turn of the millennium witnessed a fu
 rther transformation wherein state policies were themselves informalised. 
 Redevelopment became the principal instrument of state policy\, and the de
 ployment of incentive FSI/TDR began to be seen as a solution for several o
 f the city’s problems ranging from housing to lack of open spaces. Plann
 ing became secondary and decisionmaking linked to making/unmaking of space
 s was removed from the public realm. This lecture traces the emergent traj
 ectories of violence and justice in Mumbai in the wake of two decades of s
 uch ‘informal’ planning.  Resistance to such planning that seeks to b
 ypass structural conflicts in the city then takes the form of engagement w
 ith formal planning\, seeking to expand the public realm and bringing negl
 ected conflicts to the fore.\nDr. Amita Bhide is Professor and Dean of Sch
 ool of Habitat Studies at Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS)\, Mumba
 i\, India. With nearly 20 years of teaching experience at TISS\, Amita has
  played a significant role in setting up the School of Habitat Studies and
  in designing the Master’s programme in Urban Policy and Governance.
