This paper focuses on the Versova Koliwada community in Mumbai, which primarily engages in coastal fishing. The objective of this study is to raise awareness among the Versova Koliwada community about the significance of sustainable housing practices and the methods to redevelop their houses in a cost-effective and sustainable way. To understand the demography, morphology, and redevelopment needs of the study area, a survey was conducted. Later on, the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) method was used to determine the environmental impact of traditional and newly constructed houses. The material data was collected manually, and the Inventory of Carbon and Energy (ICE) database was utilized to calculate the results. The study found that lime and cement were the primary sources of carbon emissions in traditional houses and newly constructed buildings, respectively. The analysis showed that traditional houses have significantly lower carbon emissions than newly constructed buildings and the materials from traditional houses can be recycled for use in the redevelopment of new houses. The findings of the study would advantageously aid local stakeholders, sustainable practitioners, and community members in identifying alternatives to cement and construction techniques. This would minimize cement usage and carbon emissions, thus making the Versova Koliwada community more sustainable and low-carbon.
