Redevelopment of built areas through the process of reorganization and utilization of the existing land to accommodate more population in a planned manner. Lack of amenities (Parking spaces, Open areas, Drainage etc.), lack in built form of structure and orientation of these structure which has lead to redevelopment. Zone covers one of the most prominent part which is needed to be redeveloped.
Marked area is a part of GPRA (General Pool Residential Accommodation) Andrews Ganj, South Delhi. This area has a small urban slum. Which is settled along the channel. Redevelopment of this area is needed to rectify the threats and problems occurring because of the present channel. And for enhancing the living quality of people who are living in this slum.
LEGENDS Marked area is phase 1 of GPRA (General Pool Residential Accommodation) Andrews Ganj, South Delhi. One of the basic reason is, as Delhi is moving towards smart city development, these GRPA Accommodations are outdated in accordance to infrastructure, building structure, architecture, building orientation, services, amenities, facilities etc.

THE MALL WAS ESTABLISHED BY ANSAL PROPERTIES & INFRASTRUCTURE LTD. IT HAS PARKING FACILITIES FOR 1000 CARS. ANAND LOK RESIDENTIAL AREA
It lacks the capacity of accommodating people. As the population is increasing, more accommodating units are needed, if not horizontally than vertically. There is a wastage of area which can actually be used for some needed activities.

In this mapping major utilities are marked. In sectional scenario of Case 1 it shows how gas pipelines are connected in residential blocks.
STRENGTHS

Case 2 shows the typical sectional scenario of storm water drains, roads and pedestrian.
Recreational Areas Residential Block
Residential Block
Major strength of this zone is its prime location in South Delhi, Which makes it one of the most prominent area of Delhi. And the zone is well connected through metros and bus stations. It is surrounded by major landmarks of Delhi such as lajpat nagar, defence colony, south extension etc.
Vacant Area
This area is a low density area which counts as its another strength. This zone is counted in one of the most posh area of Delhi. With well inter connected roads. CASE 1 Pedestrian Pathway
Vehicular Road
2
Residents and users of this area are majorly government officers, doctors, engineers etc. because of which this holds a demand in real state field.

Pedestrian Pathway
Storm Water Drainage
Weaknesses of this area is lack of parking spaces, due to which whole area suffers from indecent parking, traffic congestions etc.
CASE 2
WEAKNESSES These 4 cases below shows the scenario of indecent parking, high traffic, unwanted auto stands.
Unwanted/unplanned auto stand are another weakness of this area. Which creates congestion even pedestrian traffic. And 3m wide tertiary roads are also a weakness, these roads gets congested in peak hours. They are too narrow with respect to traffic flow of this zone.

OPPORTUNITIES
1
Due to prime location and low density category F3 Zone is really good for Redevelopment. As growing population of Delhi, this zone can be used to accommodate number of people.
Recreational Areas Redevelopment Areas
Due to its low density it can be planned in a very good manner. One can increase the density to accommodate more people or facilities. Recreational areas of this zone can be further landscaped. It has great market values as well as which gives the opportunity to real state world.
Existing channel in this zone is one of the major threat. The channel is basically for storm water, but the slum settled around this channel uses it to dump the garbage and major population of this zone has connected there sewer with this channel which blocks the flow of water and creates harmful insects and foul smell.Which creates major threat to environment and human life.
THREATS
Another reason for this channel for being a threat is because in other zones from where this channel is running it is closed from the upper side with a concrete slab. Due to this many harmful gases evolves inside that closed part of channel.
4
And it comes out through this open part of channel which is in this F3 Zone. After identifying these gases we can use it for the betterment rather than leaving it to harm the environment.

SLOPE
Because of low density of existing built mass and posh area, site can be designed very well.
EXISTING BUILT MASS
Vegetation present on site can be taken in account while redeveloping the site.
Site is rectangular in shape KENDRIYA SCHOOL VIDHYALAY SCHOOL
PARK ANSAL PLAZA AND HUDCO CENTER
NEIGHBOURHOOD
AD
Site has alluvial soil which is fertile and good for vegetation. NOISE POLLUTION
Major slope on site is from north west to south east. Major vegetation in this area is evergreen and deciduous.
SITE SITE STUDY STUDY AND AND ANALYSIS ANALYSIS
Site is well connected with commercial areas and holds great prize in the market, after redevelopment it will be easier to accommodate people. Site has good view points which can be taken in account while redeveloping the site.
Site is proposed for redevelopment. Major traffics flows from August kranti road and road no. 4 both of these are adjacent to site.
Existing built mass, parks, parking spaces are needed to be redeveloped from scratch they cant be modified or renovated because of there condition.
After demolishment of current built structure it’s material can be reused in many ways, which will save cost of project.
