INTRODUCTION

What are UECs? Urban Entertainment Centre (UEC) can be defined as family-oriented entertainment destinations. These centres combine shopping and recreation with entertainment to form an overall experience. Retail needs entertainment to draw people in and entertainment needs retail to support the overall operation. The goal of a UEC for a city or developer is, perhaps, to create tax revenue, or to sell food, or merchandise, but for the visitor the overriding concept is to have fun. Entertainment is the draw and a large part of what creates the unique experience of the centre. A UEC has to be created as a centre with the right balance of retail and entertainment. If the centre contained too much retail it read to the visitor as an ordinary shopping mall, conversely, if there were too many entertainment options people forget to make purchases. UECs are created on the fundamental of partnership between retail and entertainment. Combinations of this partnership provide variations of UECs which can be adopted depending on the culture and heritage of the city. The components that, typically, form a UEC are as listed below: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.

Movie halls Restaurants Sports complex Shopping complex Theme parks Walk ways Museums

Key Differences – Malls, Theme parks and Urban Entertainment Centres 1.2.1. Malls A shopping mall or shopping centre is a building or set of buildings which contain retail units, with interconnecting walkways enabling visitors to easily walk from unit to unit. When the shopping mall format was first developed, signing larger department stores was necessary for the financial stability of the projects, and to draw retail traffic that would result in visits to the smaller stores in the mall as well. These larger stores are termed anchor store or draw tenant. Anchors generally have their rents heavily discounted, and may even receive cash inducements from the mall to remain open. In physical configuration, anchor stores are normally located as far from each other as possible to maximize the amount of traffic from one anchor to another. However, the concept of

Urban Entertainment Centers in Major Cities of Karnataka

Draft Pre-Feasibility Report heavily discounted rents for anchor stores may not hold good today, as the economic profile of the consumer has changed and therefore, the stores may in turn have pay large sums of money as rent to avail retail floor space. Classical forming out of Mall consists of one anchor tenant each at each side. Malls are usually closed buildings with numerous passenger car parking bays. 1.2.2. Amusement /Theme Parks Amusement park is the generic term for a collection of rides and other entertainment attractions assembled for the purpose of entertaining a large group of people. An amusement park is more elaborate than a simple city park or playground, usually providing attractions meant to cater to adults, teenagers, and small children. A theme park is a type of amusement park which has been built around one or more themes. Today, the terms amusement parks and theme parks are often used interchangeably. Most amusement parks have a fixed location, as compared to traveling funfairs and carnivals. Often a theme park will have various 'lands' (sections) of the park devoted to telling a particular story. Non-theme amusement park rides will usually have little in terms of theming or additional design elements while in a theme park all the rides go with the theme of the park. 1.2.3. Urban Entertainment Centres (UECs) UECs are a partnership between retail and entertainment and created by variations of retail and entertainment combinations. They are generally compared to shopping malls in almost every respect but scale. UECs are not the stereotypical indoor climate controlled centres like malls but incorporate a variety of outdoor plazas, corridors, paths, trails, courtyards, and interior space.

Project Idea In order to provide better entertainment and shopping facilities to tourists (both domestic and foreign) in Karnataka, it was suggested that an integrated system such as an Urban Entertainment Center (UEC) should be developed in major cities in Karnataka. Most cities in Karnataka have reasonable shopping and entertainment facilities1 like amusement parks etc. However, there is no integrated centre where the visitors can take the advantage of entertainment as well as retail shopping. The facilities envisaged to be provided to the visitors of the UECs are retail stores, theme/amusement parks, multiplexes, restaurants etc. In addition to these facilities which may be common to all UECs, city/district specific components may also be added for eg: a UEC in Mysore may contain a heritage specific retail store or museum.

SECTOR PROFILE

Industry Overview Urban Entertainment Centers have combined both the shopping and recreation with entertainment to offer an overall experience to the visitors. Retail needs the entertainment to draw people in and entertainment needs retail to support the overall operation. Hence UEC falls on the crossroads of both the entertainment and retail industry. The entertainment component in UEC consists of Multiplexes (Movie halls), Theme parks, etc. as depicted below. UEC Retail

Retail Industry The retail sector in India is highly fragmented and organized retail in the country is emerging at a faster pace. Organized retail is growing at estimated 25% growth yearon-year in the country. It is set to penetrate tier II and tier III cities of the country. The great Indian retail story, an Ernst & Young report on the retail sector released recently, says the number of malls across the country is likely to increase with retailers firming up plans to exploit the potential in tier II cities. In a survey carried out by Jones Lang LaSalle Meghraj, a real estate consultancy firm, it reports that 328 new malls are expected to come up in metros and Tier I, II, III cities by 2010. Around 600 malls were anticipated to get opened in India by the end of 2009. Between 2009 and 2010, an additional area of 31,846,504-square feet of mall space is planned across India through just over 100 new shopping centers2. Entertainment Industry Entertainment industry in India is projected to be one of the major economic driving forces of the country. Multiplexes The entertainment industry in India is growing at a fair clip amongst which multiplex segment is touted to be one of the fastest growing segments. Despite the current 2

Draft Pre-Feasibility Report slowdown, the number of multiplexes in India grew by 80-100% in calendar year 2008, contributing to 28-35% of the overall domestic box-office collections3. There were 73 multiplexes operating in India with 276 screens during the year 2005. “Up to 97 percent of urban youth prefer to watch movies in multiplexes,” says a report recently released by the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII).There are only 11 multiplexes for every million people in the country as compared to 117 in USA and 77 in France. Multiplexes are one of the anchor tenants in large format malls, as their presence increases footfalls by approximately 40-50%4 Theme parks/Amusement parks The size of the Indian Amusement Park business is estimated to be around Rs 4000 crore and is expected to grow 6% annually till 20105. There are over 150 amusement and theme parks in the country. In the next five years, sustained growth of the Indian economy will drive the amusement industry to grow both vertically (in terms of scale of investment) & horizontally (across the length and breadth of the country). According to Indian Association of Amusement Parks and Industries (IAAPI), “The cumulative investment in this industry in the last eight to ten years was to the tune of Rs.40 billion approximately and we expect to grow at 25 percent every year". One of the major advantages for the industry is the enormous amount of dormant/underutilized land in India's hinterland

Ayala Center Greenbelt 3, Makati City, Philippines Greenbelt 3, the Philippines’ first lifestyle center, effectively establishes a welcome oasis of nature and culture, giving new definition to the concept of urban leisure. With its indigenous architecture and respect for the historic and well-loved park, it establishes a sense of place amid the bustle of the community. It offers a new model for retail/entertainment with an intimacy that responds both to Philippine culture and to the demands of international standards. Located within the mixed-use Ayala Center, the design goals for Greenbelt 3 were keep all the trees, integrate non-retail features such as a church and museum, connect to the city’s elevated walkway system, and deal with a harsh environment of heat, humidity and rain. By carefully crafting a uniquely indigenous site and design solution, its developers have overcome those constraints, weaving the entire four-story, 300,000-sq.ft open-air center and its surrounding neighborhood into a cohesive experience. To create a unique shopping experience, its leasing and design teams have fashioned a tenant mix not reliant on international-brand retailers, but on local retailers and restaurateurs. A series of pavilions houses progressively more extroverted tenants, starting with “quiet” tenants like bookstores and galleries. The center then rounds of with home and fashionoriented tenants and restaurants before finally turning into a lively zone of music and video stores, more dining, cinema and nightlife.

PROJECT CONCEPT

Project Concept A pre-feasibility study is to be carried out for developing UECs in major cities in Karnataka. Variations of retail and entertainment combinations may be designed for the development of UECs depending on the needs of residents and tourists to each city. The parameters for prioritizing the cities are as follows: • • • • •

Resident and Tourist Population Economic growth of the city Socio-economic profile (Economic Indicators) Availability of Suitable land Industrialization

The project is to be carried out under a Public Private Partnership framework on Design, Built, Operate and Transfer (DBOT) basis. 4.2.

Components of Project The various components of UEC could be • • • • • •

Movie halls Restaurants Shopping complex Theme parks Walk ways Museums

The diverse linguistic and religious ethnicities that are native to Karnataka combined with their long histories have contributed immensely to the varied cultural heritage of the state. Due to this reason the UEC could also comprise of heritage complexes to attract more number of visitors. 4.3.

Development and Planning Considerations Development consideration: •

Selection of site- A suitable site should be selected in the whole city .The factors such as population density, connectivity, site dimensions should be considered for selecting the site.

Study of legal framework- A thorough study of the legal framework related to the development is a necessity. The obligations pertaining to the project has to be well known, different acts pertaining to this sector has to be understood.

Urban Entertainment Centers in Major Cities of Karnataka

15

Draft Pre-Feasibility Report

Planning considerations

4.4.

Study of demographics- Demographics of the city has to be studied in detail to establish any set up. This could include the population, male and female ratio, youth population, linguistic details etc. This helps in understanding the profile of the people in the city.

Socio-economic profile of the city- The socio-economic profile of the city provides information about its major occupation, the prevailing economy scenario of the city, major factors influencing economy etc.

Analyzing tourist attractions – The number of tourists visiting the city will definitely help in estimating the footfalls to UEC. Tourists are the major revenue generators for the business entities such as hotels, shopping malls, movie theaters, amusement parks etc.

Industrialization of the city- This factor is as important, if not more, to other planning consideration as the level of industrialization of any city will increase the disposable income among the population and in turn will be important to ascertain the components of the UEC.

Factors Impacting Prioritization of City The factors considered for the prioritization of a city from the identified 14 cities are as indicated in the figure below:

Figure 4: Factors affecting choice of city

Urban Entertainment Centers in Major Cities of Karnataka

16

Draft Pre-Feasibility Report •

Population & Tourism – In addition to the city population, the tourist population is also taken into account as the demand for UEC is majorly influenced by the tourist population. The tourists are those who visit the city especially for entertainment and other leisure activities.

Economic growth – The economic well-being of the city is to be noted to predict the future potential through mere extrapolation of the growth rate.

Industrial set up – The industries located in the vicinity of the city are responsible for the growth in disposable income of the city residents.

Land availability – The availability of land is also a major concern as the higher rate of growth of urban population has negative effect on this factor.

Connectivity - The connectivity of the city with the other cities in the state and major cities in the country is essential so as to attract more crowds towards UEC. Similarly the city should also have an air connectivity to attract more foreign tourists.

14 (fourteen) cities in Karnataka identified for developed of UEC are as follows: ™

Construction of pucca (meta / BT) roads, providing vegetative cover around the site, providing protective gear to the workers and ensuring that the site surroundings are isolated from any major developments.

b.

Impact due to Vehicle Exhaust Emissions Impact Statement: A number of vehicles would ply every day to site. Mitigative Measures: Construction of pucca (meta / BT) roads, providing vegetative cover around the site, etc. will reduce the SPM levels and further helps in decrease of exhaust emissions.

c.

Impact due to Noise Impact Statement: The sources of noise impacts will be during construction phase. During construction phase due to operation of heavy equipment and machinery like trucks, JCB, bulldozers, tracked dozers, generators, etc. noise levels are expected to be high. Mitigative Measures: To mitigate the noise impacts on labour and employees working in site earplugs should be provided. Vegetative cover around site will reduce the noise levels during operation phase.

KEY ISSUES

The key issues involved in development of urban entertainment centers in the State are being elaborated as under: ™ Identification and acquisition of land required- Land is a resource with limited availability. The concerned agency/Authority will have to identify land that is commensurate with the proposed development in the area. UECs, as mentioned above as different from shopping malls in scale. And therefore, it is important to have a large area of land available in one place- either in the core of the city or on the outskirts. Accordingly, acquisition and rehabilitation of the existing occupants are required. In case of existing habitations on the land, suitable rehabilitation and resettlement process should be carried out. ™ Agency/Authority as a Project Proponent- the concerned agency/authority have to be identified in each city to carry out the project. ™ Components of UEC-Movie halls, Restaurants, Sports complex, shopping complex, Theme parks etc- The right component-mix is required as it should appeal the local visitors as well as tourists. It may also include components that are in line with the local culture for example- a heritage museum in a UEC at Mysore.

WAY FORWARD

Concerned Agency Discussions have to be held with the concerned agencies and authorities so as to take the project to the next stage viz. inviting tenders for development of UECs.

10.2.

Identify Land The concerned agencies/authorities should freeze the land that will be made available for the development of the UEC. However, the exact area required may depend on the bid parameter for each UEC.

10.3.

Identifying Developers The bidding process should be carried out to identify the suitable developer for each of the UECs in Karnataka.
