The majority of the site falls under a single watershed implying that it collects all the storm water falling in that area. The streams (major and minor) direct water to the nearest catchment area, with the water ultimately flowing into the river. The new riverfront development will signficantly alter these natural water flows, but there is an opportunity to avoid flooding by retaining the major streams and maintaining an outlet into the river.

Olympics and its Impact 02

The Mega Event Strategy

Organising large-scale urban events, like the Olympics, have become part of urban strategies by governments to improve the urban structure, to promote the city’s image in an international showcase and create economic growth.

This chapter gives an overview to the Olympic Games and how it can contribute to a host city’s urban development. It briefly explains, the working process of the Games with respect to city developments, IOC’s amendments, etc. It also presents a game plan which was an output of the basic learnings from global sceanrios, and the assumptions made inorder to prepare the game plan. This chapter ends with the definition of the problem statement which forms the base for the formulation of a vision, followed by a set of goals.
