THEMATICS T5 - Urban Agriculture T1 - Parks and recreation spaces T3 - Open markets T6 - Revival of Lakes and Raja Kaluves T7 - Designing Circular Systems CONCEPT The main worry was the ever growing population and the food crisis people are facing and going to face in the near future. Also the sprawl which is getting bigger and bigger which inturn takes up Farming lands. The idea was to create farms which produce high level of yields with minimal resources addressing the need for Nutritious and Fresh food for the people in the ward. India is going to meet “Day Zero� on food and its high time we shape cities for the future population which is expected to rise to 1.5 Billion by 2030. There was about 97 million hectares of Farm Lands which were degraded in the past 10 years or so. It adds upto 30% of the Farm Lands in India. 82% of the people going hungry in the world live in countries with food surplus and not food shortages.

Farm used by the people belonging to that specific community only.
Farm used by the public.
Farm grown in this land is only for commercial purpose.
Crops grown here are specific to the community addressing to the needs.
Crops which give higher yield to satisfy to the needs of the population is the main aim. Apart from crops fisheries can be implemented.
Crops which are commercially viable and produce more profit to the farmers are grown here.
No employment needed as most likely to be grown by the people in the Community.
Employing experts in farming. Employment for the people from the slums improving their livelihood. Also vendors who use the farms produce.
Employment of skilled farmers and workers needed as these are open to more risk.
Sewage Treatment Plant to treat the Grey water to an extent of using it fot farming.
Sewage Treatment Plant to treat the Grey water to an extent of using it fot farming.
Sewage treatment cannot be implemented as the requirement of water is very high.
Educational zones, Markets and restaurants can be added to make it more public friendly.
No additional spaces as the main aim is money.
WHY in WARD - 85 ? - A ward with a lot of youth and health concious citizens living has been cramped up with High rise buildings and the food intake is more compared to the food being produced. - About 1/3rd of the food is wasted. And the major waste is because of spoilage. Spoilage happens due to the transport of the Fruits and Vegetables which takes 1-2 days to reach local markets. - Can provide employment in the slums nearby as most of the people are from rural places. There are 5 slums in our ward and 3 of them are nearby lakes. - Reducing transport charges as food products are available locally. Freshness is also lost. - Can reduce Garbage disposal as food waste can be used as manure for agriculture. - Agriculture can be done near Lakes as the grey water can be treated to a level where it can used for Agriculture. - Markets can also be proposed as part of the vegetation to boost farmer and consumer connection to reduce prices. People who cannot go to branded shops can come to these markets for nutritious food. - It can be developed as a practise in the local which could further expand people to plant more trees and do agriculture in their own balconies.
Spaces like Libraries, 1st Stage Kitchens can be added to the farms to make a Community Space

Different Functions in the District
Shanghai is home to nearly 24 million people. But over the last two decades, China has lost over 123,000 square kilometers of farmland to urbanization. Roughly 200,000 square kilometers — suffers from soil pollution and is owned by the Chinese Ministry of Environmental Protection.
Shanghai is the ideal context for vertical farming. Like many global cities, land prices are high, which makes building up (rather than out) the economically prudent choice.
Shanghai is actively encouraging innovative solutions to provide food for the growing region. Unlike Western Leafy greens thrive in the simplest of setups and don’t need a lot of extra examples of large-scale corporate farms which are typically located great distances from cities, smaller scale attention, so they are an excellent choice for hydroponic and aquaponic agriculture dominates Shanghai’s peri-urban landscape. growing systems. They grow quickly and weigh little, both of which make them an economical and efficient option. SHANGHAI, CHINA. 100 HECTARES Architects - Sasaki, USA.

Exterior View of the Structure Underground - Storage of Seed ROMAINVILLE, FRANCE 1000sq.m - 0.1 HECTARES Architects - Ilimelgo Architects, Paris Ilimelgo reimagines the future of urban agriculture with a vertical farming complex in the Parisian suburb of Romainville. The project integrates production of produce into the city through a 1000 square meter greenhouse that maximizes sunlight and natural ventilation. Recognizing the developing world’s diminishing agricultural space, the project aims to meet the growing demands for crop cultivation in urban environments. Conscious of this need, the city of Romainville has been supporting sustainable and forwardthinking alternatives to small plot-based agriculture. Though they have implemented many rooftop and allotment gardens in the past decade, the Vertical Farm represents a comprehensive dedication to sustainability, education, and local economic participation.

SITE SELECTION FIRST CRITERIA - Surrounded by a high-density zone. SECOND CRITERIA - Preferably a residential zone. THIRD CRITERIA - Easy access to water. FOURTH CRITERIA - Large lands required. FIFTH CRITERIA - Should be a place people can reach from their house easily SIXTH CRITERIA - Should be easily accessible from residential zones.
SITE SELECTED DODDANEKUNDI LAKE The site is stationed between the peripehery of the Doddenekundi lake and the railway track with lot of resisential houses on either side of the site. The huge chunk of barren land near the lake and lake has been misused as it can serve as a great spot for community gathering and a can accomodate great infrastructure for various activities. Also this site is positioned in such a way that in the surrounding there is a huge variety of age groups so it opens to many varies possibles entities. The chunk has a lot of value but underrated. The site is known for the snakes it hosts creating an oppurtunity to turn a much feared locale into a beatiful and community gathering space. The soil near the lakes are very fertile that there is a coconut plantation near to the lake.

COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION Stakeholders in Community Participation
Community participation can be loosely defined as the involvement of people in a community in projects to solve their own problems. Understanding A Community - Community participation motivates people to work together – people feel a sense of community and recognise the benefits of their involvement. - Social, religious or traditional obligations for mutual help - Genuine community participation – people see a genuine opportunity to better their own lives and for the community as a whole. - Remuneration in cash or kind
- An unfair distribution of work or benefits amongst members of the community - A highly individualistic society where there is little or no sense of community - The feeling that the government or agency should provide the facilities - Agency treatment of community members – if people are treated as being helpless they are more likely to act as if they are

WASTE WATER TREATMENT
CONSTRUCTED WETLANDS WHY ?
DODDANEKUNDI LAKE
Constructed wetlands provide simple and effective wastewater treatment.
The total amount of water coming in from the 3 Inlets is 10 MLD.
They can be used to treat domestic, agricultural, industrial and mining wastewaters.
The major in flow is from the Kaggadaspura inlet which is on the West part of the Lake.
Their construction costs are much less (50 to 90%) than conventional systems and their operating costs are very low.
The three inlets – Kaggadaspura lake, Mahadevapura tank and Nekkundi tank.
RAJAKALUVE INLETS
Kagadasapura Inlet
Constructed wetlands are also pleasant to look at, attract desired wildlife, and provide environmental education opportunities. Screening removes objects such as rags, paper, plastics to prevent clogging
PRO’S
Water spreads into rain gardens where plants trap litter and coarse sediments
Water seeps down through rain gardens trapping finer sediments and pollutants
- Tolerance to fluctuations in flow - Facilitate water reuse and recycling - Provide habitat for wetland wildlife and organisms. - Can fit harmoniously into a landscape - Can provide aesthetic enhancement of a landscape - Environmentally - Sensitive approach to waste water treatment that is favoured by the General Public.
CON’S - Generally require larger land areas than conventional treatment. - Rely on consistent inputs of water. Rain and Stormwater wash pollution down to the Rajakaluves leading to the lake
Stormwater collected in pipes and flowing into the bioswales for better purification.

VERTICAL FARMS Shedding the restrictions of seasonal weather patterns, overcoming the transportational challenges and significantly enhancing yields - vertical farming is the future of food production.
These are modular and can be adjusted to fit in almost any building Densely stacked beds and special growing methods can lead to 75 times more produce per square foot than a traditional farm.
Ventilator Fans
Controlled indoor environments, disrupt the normal life cycle of pests, so there’s no need for pesticides, herbicides and fungicides. Critics have pointed out the amount of energy used by the technique is very high, but the invention of the energy efficient LED lights makes it a economical source.
Sustainable Techniques followed A nutrient mist is sprayed in the plant roots using 95% less water than conventional field farms. The cloth acts as a barrier between the mist and the plants roots , so the harvested leaves are clean, dry and ready to eat. The cloth used is 100% recyclable. The blue green LED lights are more energy efficient and are helpful in plant growth around the year without sunlight.

VERTICAL GARDENS
DOME SHAPED GREENHOUSES The number one benefit of the geodesic dome structure is the strength of the dome. They are much stronger than rectangular buildings. No internal supports are needed because the triangles distribute weight evenly throughout the structure. They can survive for 12 to 15 years
STRENGTH
The curved surface of the dome allows for a very even heat input by the sun throughout the day. A rectangular greenhouse has a large flat area allowing a larger amount of sunlight to come in at mid-day, whereas in the early morning and late afternoon the light input is negligible.
HEAT INPUT Heat loss from any structure is proportional to the surface area of the structure. A spherical shape has the minimum surface area for the amount of floor space enclosed.
HEAT LOSS
Due to no corners, domes are conducive to even temperatures throughout the structure and more efficient air circulation.
AIR CIRCULATION The Geodesic greenhouse is incredibly wind friendly as the wind simply flows around it. A rectangular greenhouse has a much larger surface area for the wind to push against and cause severe damage.
WIND FACTOR
The Dome is much more effective at keeping the heat in on a cold winter night simply by having 40% less surface area than a rectangular structure through which the heat can escape.
HEAT GAIN
Thirty to 40 per cent less surface area also means 30-40 percent fewer materials used in construction. Geodesic dome greenhouses are relatively inexpensive to construct.

MIYAWAKI FORESTS
ON PUBLIC ROADS
Miyawaki is a technique pioneered by Japanese botanist Akira Miyawaki, that helps build dense, native forests.
The plants and trees here are mostly not taken care of and grow on their own. The trees must be beneficial and less water consuming as the ground water available is already less and contaminated. So trees which survive and grow with minimal water and a tree which is beneficiary in terms of shade, purifying air and other such benefeciaries are preferred.
The approach is supposed to ensure that plant growth is 10 times faster and the resulting plantation is 30 times denser than usual. It involves planting dozens of native species in the same area, and becomes maintenance-free after the first three years.
Trees improving ground water table in the surrounding communities with large roots going down which helps water infiltration are also preferred.
Many organisations like Afforest, Thuvakkam (Chennai), and SayTrees (Bengaluru) use the Miyawaki method in afforestation. Afforest has planted 4.5 lakhs trees across their 108 projects; ninety of these sites are located in India. Say Trees engages with citizens and corporates, and has helped plant 70,000 trees in Bengaluru from 2008. The simple concept of Miyawaki is blocking sunlight on the sides and allowing the trees to attain sunlight only from the top resulting in growth upwards instead of sideways. Neem Tree

CONSTRUCTED WETLANDS
These greenhouses are categorised into two 1. Educative Greenhouses - Plants in the educative greenhouse are plants which can be experimented or learned about. 2. Exhibitive Greenhouses - Plants in the exhibitive greenhouses are mostly ornamental and are open to public for viewing. These plants are grown in tower garden technique whereas the others are grown in vertical farming technique.
Lilium
Carnation
Hydrangea
Calla
Plants play major roles in constructed wetlands - they maintain the temperature, decrease wind speed and avoid re-suspension of nutrient and sludge , and help in providing the required conditions for various biological, physicochemical processes within a constructed wetland for effective treatment of wastewater. Long lasting plants are generally preferred over annual plants because plants will continue growing in the same area and there is no concern about seeds being washed or carried away.

Bioswales are channels, planted with hardy, water-tolerant species .They are more suitable for storm-water control on a larger level. They can be made along the roadsides so that rainwater from the road flows towards them and percolates into the ground. Controlling groundwater pollution through vegetation is a strategy being widely used in countries like the USA and Germany. Plants which are native and which can withstand long periods of accumulated water are preferred.
Fruit Picking could be a public luring activity in these farms.
