Olympic Legacy - Site Scenario Site Section - Post Olympics

The envisioned framework, through its multiple interactions and inter-relationships within and with the surrounding context removes the visual and physical access barriers that existed in the site. The new legacy neighborhood is a livable space: inhabitants’ physical and mental health is catered for through sporting facilities and the abundance of green and blue, and the spaces are spaces that belong to the people.

The design approach was to transform the regenerated water body into an eco-sensible public space complete with retention basins, micro wetlands, and floodable arenas for effective water management. The dedicated cycle and pedestrian network that runs alongside the green trail and through the lake park ensures seamless last-mile connectivity.

Integrated Spatial Framework

The envisioned ‘Urban Green Commons’

Narendra Modi Stadium

Existing stadium is treated as an asset and is integrated with the proposed sports hub and green trail for the sense of connectedness.

Institution Campus

Schools/Colleges are strategically located at transit nodes and at close proximity to the exisitng fabric

Aquatics Center + Sports Hub

Sports hub integrated with the Aquatics centre retained from the Olympics

The Green Trail

The green trail is interwoven through the development to create a strong sense of community

Mixed Use

Mixed-use office buildings and premium residences are lined along the riverfront road capitalising the waterfront.

Retail Corridor

The central plaza is flanked by commercial buildings on both the sides creating an open mall effect

Lake Park

The lake park created from the regenerated waterbody serves as a regional public space.

Central Plaza and Elevated walkway

The central retail plaza, is treated as a celebration park, with interactive displays commemorating the Olympic Games.

Spiritual Centre

Serene residential community surrounds the retained spiritual centre faciltiy and the stream

Delayering of Masterplan

Identifying integrated systems

Multiple layers of the masterplan gives a structure to the entire masterplan and sums up to become a holistic integrated framework where the workability of each layer, in relation to the other layers becomes important.

Private Open space : 26 %

Public Open space : 36%

Hardscape/ Plaza

Hardscape/ Footpaths

The green trail forms a major part of the shared greenspace in the entire development, which is softscape in nature. The hardscaped plaza areas are seen along the central plaza and major public facilities catering to achieve active and porous edges.

Primary 30m

Secondary 24, 18m

Tertiary 15, 12, 9m

The main 30m spine retained from the Olympics acts as the main thoroughfare, integrated with the AMTS network. The secondary road forms the main mobility route as it conencts through important vehicular routes and pedestrian network. Feeder transit is integrated with the secondary road network.

Built : 38 %

Open : 62%

The map highlights the pattern of varying grain sizes in the planned developement and marks the landmark iconic built structures and the meaningful unbuilt spaces.

With diversity in built-uses, the proximity to multiple services is minimal and it aids in achieving a live work play environment within the site

Residential 56%

Commercial 18%

Mixed- Residential 12%

Amenities 03%

Institutional 05%

Recreational 06%
