Neighborhood Framework 05

Attractive living environments around the public hotspots

The structural vision makes the neighborhood an attractive area for working, living and recreation – a central environment that doubles the scope of the current CBD along the riverfront. Major interventions are planned at strategic locations to increase the quality of stay. The focus is on the connecting axes between the existing urban fabric and the city’s celebrated public space, riverfront promenade and the proposed regional public space the lakepark, through a trail of attractive public hotspots.

This chapter unveils the everyday life experience in the envisioned development and looks at the density, form and urban character imagined.

The Lakefront Neighborhood

Towards a Healthy, Resilient Living

The lakefront community works under concept of “Nurturing Nature,” with the idea that when cities’ environmental health is restored, it improves our individual well-being. A ring road around the lake with radials connecting to the existing network, and the central park serves as a visual and physical link between the neighbourhood and the lake, and thereby the river. With rich retail experiences leveraging the waterfront and the neighborhood’s central community space progammed with senior citizen park, play areas, skating rink, OAT, multi purpose courts and a public park that is accessible from the abutting road, the neighbourhood provides dynamic experiences to the users.

Additonally, park’s retentive landsacpes, rain gardens, sunken plazas, aid in water management during monsoon rains.
