Studio Brief

UD4001 - Master Plan Studio Tutors: Brijesh Bhatha, Purvi Bhatt, Vipuja Parmar, Tapan Shah The studio focuses on preparing Master Plans for large green field developments in peri urban areas.To respond to the demand of expansion in the rapidly growing urban centres, governments facilitate such new developments through various development mechanisms. The studio operates within the existing development framework of the Integrated Township Policy which is a typically developer driven activity and involves design on a large tract of land under single ownership. The design of the project will involve preparing a three dimensional urban design master plan with strategies of street network and urban block, public open spaces, public amenities and infrastructure, integration of public transport systems, strategies for pedestrian and vehicular priority on streets, defining the building height and bulk, building uses and landscape strategy. Students will be required to prepare an urban design master plan for these developments with an emphasis on creating liveable neighbourhoods that explore the ideas of future living through their designs. The design process will consistently retain its focus on how these ideas can be translated into reality. The studio outcome will also involve preparing effective representation graphics and persuasive communication strategy for the design project.

1. Introduction Integrated Township Site Context - Proposed Township Case Study - Jaypee Greens

A. Intregrated Township Integrated townships is a self-sustained development with all the basic modern amenities developed in an plot area of more than 20 acres on outskirts adjoining to existing city having a number of developments that include residential, commercial, retail, recreational, educational, as well as industrial areas in some cases. They should have a proper balance of residential & commercial spaces along with well-developed Modern infrastructure & recreational amenities besides green and open spaces. Fig. Intregrated Township

Why? It becoming More popular & essential to reduce pressure of the existing city infrastructure like Road network, Water Supply, Sewage & Garbage Disposal & pollution, arising due to rapid urbanization & increase in the growth of city, economy, business & Population. With urban areas getting more & more crowded and no space to accommodate the future development potential, integrated townships have been identified as a potential solution for this crises. Hence, a strong identity has to be created for a successful development in the future of the city.

Benefits The main focus of a township development should ensure safety and security that involves in evolution of a healthy township which supports a wholesome living without pollution with certain key concepts.

1. Walkability 2. Connectivity 3. Mixed use and diversity 4. Mixed housing 5. Quality architecture and urban design 6. Traditional neighbourhood structure 7. Increased density 8. Green transportation 9. Sustainability 10. Quality of life.

Integrated townships is a self-sustaining environment that has become a necessity rather than a luxury. Keeping in mind the requirements of the home buyers, we the designers, are studying their needs in order to achieve everything under one roof. In today’s scenario, the trend seems to be leaning towards integrated townships. Is there a demand for it in future? Master Plans of all major cities include expanding the urban boundaries supporting the horizontal growth within horizontal growth within zonal growth withintheIndian context Indian context Indian context - One major reason why the concept of integrated townships definitely has a future.

B. Site Context Location The site is located in Telav, abutting sanand-sarkhej highway on one of its side, connected to proposed 48 m wide DP road. Situated in south west part of ahmedabad which is 24 km from Airport and 19 km from Kalupur Railway Station.

Site Area : 335 Acres

2015

In 2010, parts of Gokuldham started developing and Telav gam also started expanding.

In 2015, Gokuldham and nearby residential schemes were developed around Sanand-Sarkhej highway.

2020 In 2020, development started along the main arterial road.

Existing Growth Centers The site is strategically located in the central quadrangle of the satellite settlement which includes crosmopolitian Suburbs Bopal and industrial belt like Sanand. The site is Well connected surrounding amenities like paid recreational areas such as Auda gardens, Water parks, public transport - AMTS, Metro, Townships like apple woods and gokul dham which is around 3.5 km away from site. Since the site is adjacent to highway its market value and valubility as amagnet of area increase in 10 folds . Fig. Existing Growth Centers around Telav

Site Surroundings On observing the development patterns within the 5 km radius it was inferred that the development starts in recent years also the demand of housing increase and mix use typology started begining in the vicinity. as per the development plan 2021 75 % land is under R3 zone which is residential zone 3.

Topography and Site Conditions Majorty of the township site land is cultivated and is in agriculture use. the terrain is almost flat with elevation of 200 m above mean sea level. The site is adjecent to the Narmada canal. No hills or high ground are visible in and arounfd the site. There is no environmental sensitive area within the site. No religious, archeological and historical place of importance exists with the township site. Examination of site on Google Earth as well as topographic survey reveals that the terrian is fairly flat. A typical longitudinal and transverse profile if the terrian is placed.

Masterplan The master planning of the Jaypee greens greater Noida is done by Jaypee Infratech Pvt.Ltd and It’s the greenfield township in an area of 452 acres (118 ha) of land. Premium township golf-centric real estate development with the finest residential in the locales integrated with golf courses, landscaped emerald spaces, helipad, and resort living premises. It contains 40,000 residential units with an FSI of 2.75 and a global FSI of 4.52. Having 5 entry-exits in which one of them is dedicated for golf resort entry with a max height of the apartments in the township is 30m which is the premium towers of the township.

Site Area : 452 acres Global FSI: 4.5 Completion Year: 2013 Typology : Mix use

Planned By: Jaypee Infratech Pvt Ltd. Total residential unit: 40,000 Units Fig. Master Plan, jaypee Greens

The township was completed in 2013 and it has well functioned with international standards of lifestyle, it has the 18-hole Greg Norman and 9-hole Graham Cooke signet golf courses, member exclusive clubhouse, conference & banquet facilities, eateries, a spa, and health club, a golf academy, and recreational spaces.

Framework Conceptual framework of the natural environment in the inside and outside the township ecosystem. Always, one same conceptual framework and strategies could be used in an urban environment or could create a sustainable urban viewpoint. So, designers explored structure in the natural environment and created sustainable mix-use townships.

Density

In the township, most of the residential typology is high rise apartments then, mid-rise, lowrise, and detached houses. In which high rise have 2 categories of built mass which are G+30 (PREMIUM SUN TOWERS) & G+20 rest of the apartments. Which constitutes high density in the vicinity of the tow ship itself. Mid-rise apartments have built mass of G+5 floors and lowrise have G+3 floors which comes under medium density. Then comes detached houses having low density due to the built mass and of G+2 floors. The Jaypee greens have covers all the typologies of residential. In high rise high-density towers setbacks beyond sightlines, reducing impact on pedestrian experiences. And in midrise base with urban edges create a sense of enclosure. Due to the very wide open space in the township and global FSI increase so the built mass increases vertically.

Inference & Learnings After studying the case of Jaypee Greens township which is sustainable economic and variable and emphasizes the integration services. In India, the urban townships fall under zoning use which works on the natural environmental and functional of urban blocks which have gone through the serval trends of the future in designing.

The Jaypee greens is itself the landmark of the greater Noida near parichowk. In this township large open space separates the typology. Adequate breathing space on the ground for detached and high dense apartments in the central and edge of the site. Whatever development happens in the future the natural reserve of 60 acres remains to preserve. There is wide open space in the township utilized as a golf course but has restricted entry only for members associated with the golf association of Jaypee and the residents living in the township. There is controlled vehicular movement in residential zones for safe passage for pedestrians and cyclists. Similarly, in this urban design master planning of the township which is pedestrian-friendly to enhance the pedestrianization in the township has a pleasant experience to use for sustainable transport for the people living in the township. So, the master planning creates a vibrant prototype physically and visually. The Jaypee greens township gives comfort and hassle-free pedestrian movement which connects the open spaces to make it porous for people living in it.

K. Phasing Stratgey Four Phases of Development

Phase 1

Phase 2

Area = 65 Acre

Area = 111 Acre (46 Acre Added)

Strategy: The first phase focuses on the development of crossover infrastructure from main highway to DP Rd. along with the commercial on edge of Sarkhej sanand highway with ecopark for activity generator.

Strategy: Second phase develops mid rise residential blocks, independent bunglows, primary and secondary school along DP road linking the mobility hubs core to the residential neighbourhood.

Highlights: The important stops will be the AMTS Bus stops, one public level open space which is ecopark and development of commercial centers on the edge of sarkhej sansand highway.

Highlights: The park adjoining the residential neighbourhood blocks, Secondary school along the DP road.

Phase 3

Phase 4

Area = 217 Acre (106 Acre Added)

Area = 335 Acre (118 Acre Added)

Strategy: This phase utilize oppertunity to create public open spaces along the canal with high rise residential apartments buildings, township level recreation space which ehnange the public realm and bring people to canal.

Strategy: In the final phase mostly the construction of additional reditional neighbourhood , housing for economically weaker section, institution and commercial buildings along the 48 m wide DP road.

Highlights: The canal front is close to completion in this phase forming the identity with the shopping arcade at canal front promenade.

Highlights: The high rise Residential and complex is an important sale-able component the eventually finance the public aminities as well as sell the idea of luxurious lifestyle while utilize the oppertunity created by the city itself.

Conclusion

India as a nation rising to the Phase 2 stage of development has been observed going through massive transformations. Urbanization is one of the major changes observed throughout the last thirty years. Regulated urbanization has been neglected thus rural land decrease and agricultural land deprivation have been observed along with it. Urbanization, on the other hand, is very necessary to serve the ongoing population growth of the country. New cities are developing in different states, but mostly old city fringes are developing. The biggest criticism these areas face is being urban sprawls with less public amenities. In this developing world where most of the new buildings yet to come. This helps us to create the opportunity to create a truly active walkable and sustainable approach to living in the township while obliging to the Global FSI OF 1.41. The township has a life that is grand and never limited by the mundane; a life full of possibilities to stop living small and start living large. Enjoy tranquillity amidst a placid Canal Front with a shopping arcade, delight in a beautiful Eco Park. Which makes the township connected to the city brings people into it and helps us to achieve the idea of an active, walkable, and sustainable healthy lifestyle of living. So, the master planning creates a vibrant prototype physically and visually. The township gives comfort and hassle-free pedestrian movement which connects the open spaces to make it porous for people living in it.
