Chapter 1- URBANISM ALONG THE BRIDGE 1.1ABSTRACTthis thesis suggests ways to rehabilitate and bring back dead or dark urban spaces without eradicating heterogeneity and fostering inclusion. It is a parody that bridges are meant just for transporting people from one place to another but it can be much more to it. Sometimes bridges are not utilized in a proper way, these spaces can be used in a much more creative way instead of using it just as a connectivity. Tenuously domiciled in invisible urban interstices, their phantom existence can be transformed in to happening urban pockets through careful design and organization. 1.2AIMIs to create a platform that can bridge the connectivity between the two urban spaces and exchange of their culture and its effect on the society socially and culturally. URBAN-to create a space which is important attraction to the cities. RIVER-to increase and create spaces around the river and increase its activities. LANDSCAPE- to increase green spaces around the vicinity. 1.3OBJECTIVEto create a walkway/connection which is not just a walkway path but becomes a Social interactive space along the pedestrian area. to distribute the different activities that happens on the bridge as well as the nodes of the bridge. to Increase transport from one area to another. To increase tourism and create opportunities for increasing public spaces along the vicinity. to create awareness of a bridge as an aesthetically designed, site sensitive element of the city.

1.4JUSTIFICATION OF THE PROJECTIn today's world the population has increased substantially over the past years and it is growing day by day. There are no spaces to develop new places in the metropolitan cities, this increase in population has led to exploitation of the natural resources to overcome these problems we need solution to redistribute and redefine our spaces to overcome this chaotic situation. this increase in the population is not going to stop and more cities will be devastated day by day we as designers have to address this challenge of creating spaces within it so that the density of the population can be distributed. The increase in automobiles have led to lack of pedestrian pathways and social spaces. There is less number of interactive and recreational spaces in our cities and more of vehicular movement which has led to increase in pollution and caused in health problems in our society. To solve the problem we need to rethink our social development areas, our road access, etc. One of the solutions for development in our cities is our bridges, skywalks. We have been using bridges for a long time in our society, the earliest known arch bridges were built by the Greeks, and include the arkadiko bridge. With the span of 220 meters (720 ft), the Solkan bridge over the soča river at Solkan in Slovenia is the second-largest stone bridge in the world and the longest railroad stone bridge. It was completed in 1905 aqueducts made of stones which were built in south France Romania. Pittsburgh is known as the capital of bridges it has around 446 bridges more than Venice and Italy. These and the hundreds of other Pittsburgh bridges not only connect the neighbourhoods and residents but add to the city’s unique and beautiful skyline. It waged a massive road and bridge campaign with the development of the interstate highway system. The result was a variety of bridge designs, including suspension, cantilever, and arch, mostly produced from local steel.

Chapter 1- URBANISM ALONG THE BRIDGE Bridges are mostly used for diversion of the traffic but it can also be used for other purposes which can help to develop the society in a better manner. In the 21st ce people are moving towards sustainable and green architecture. They are moving from automobile to pedestrian centric cities Ghent in Belgium, Zermatt in Switzerland, Venice in Italy, etc are cities with more of pedestrian movement rather than that of automobiles. This type of planning would change the face of cities like Mumbai, Pune, Nasik, etc. Bigger structure in these cities are not used through its full potential that can help in many ways. 1.5LIMITATIONdue to the river regulation zone draft there won't be any permanent structures built on the bridge. 1.6SCOPETo create spaces along and on the bridge. 1.7METHODOLOGYbriefly study the surrounding area and its culture. analyse the effects of bridge on the space and its nodes. study the guidelines for development along and on the bridge 1.8CAUSE OF THE PROJECTdue to the decrease in public and recreational spaces in urban areas. 1.9VISIONis to increase the use of recreational spaces and to convert negative spaces or unused spaces and convert them into a positive and usable space for the community.

Chapter 2- LITERATURE STUDY 2.1IMPORTANCE OF BRIDGES from beginning of the second millennium, the growth of stable city states brought a new standard of bridge building not seen since the roman empire, Paris, London developed rapidly throughout from the twelfth century onwards, with nucleus of their expansion centered on the ancient river crossing. along with the major streets, city squares, and the important buildings, the city bridges took on a new significance as an embedded part of the urban fabric. the interrelationship of the bridge with a dense urban grain was nowhere more apparent than in Paris between the twelfth and eighteenth centuries. Historically, the most function of bridges and tunnels has been to attach different geographical areas, but they'll also function important social connectors as our cities expand. As cities density increase, available urban spaces become scarcer, while the necessity for these spaces increases. As cities change, we want a brand-new understanding of the way to make optimal use of city areas. Tunnels and bridges should not only be structures that facilitate transport – their areas should offer a new value to town and its citizens. ''Tunnels and bridges should now not only be structures that facilitate transport – their areas should offer an extra value to town and its citizens.'' As cities develop, some existing structures diminish useful or relevant for his or her time. Some create barriers that generate empty and dark wastelands in surrounding areas. There are many cases where such structures are reprogrammed to use vacant spaces in creative ways and add value for citizens. One example is that the "Via Verde" initiative in Mexican capital, a project to rework quite 1,000 flyover and elevated road columns into vertical gardens. the target is to cut back pollution, improve cityscape aesthetics and lower drivers’ stress levels. Another example demonstrating how an existing structure may be reprogrammed is that the Ammerud Underpass in Oslo. A dark concrete tunnel was transformed into an inviting space for exercise and leisure activities, with a climbing wall, fitness facilities, lighting and vibrant walls. the construction of latest bridges and tunnels can improve mobility during a city. the planet has committed to the Paris climate agreement to scale back city URBANISM ALONG THE BRIDGE
Page 17
Chapter 2- LITERATURE STUDY pollution. Constructing new structures that can add value to the surrounding areas and can promote sustainable means of transport, communication and improve the conditions for pedestrian and cyclist experience. One example of this is often the "Bicycle Snake" in Copenhagen, a 230 m long winding sky bridge with bicycle and pedestrian lanes. The bridge creates a shortcut between two parts of the town, providing a novel, enjoyable cycling experience on an elevated bike path that runs across water and between buildings. New bridges and tunnels can revitalize the entire neighbourhoods and the surrounding Areas with underdeveloped connections to their surroundings may suffer from vacancies and attract the unwanted behaviour. Bridges can reduce the barriers between districts, and directing the flow of individuals through a locality creates a secure and secure environment. One such example is that the Luchtsingel bridge in Rotterdam, a brief structure financed by over 2,000 crowd funders. It runs through the Hofplein area, previously a neglected and detached part of Rotterdam dominated by vacant high-rise buildings. Connecting the Central Station, Rotterdam North and therefore the Binnenrotte area, the bridge may be a catalyst for economic process. Bridges and tunnels are essential to urban mobility, accessibility and connectivity. As cities densify, available urban spaces become scarcer while the requirement for these spaces increases. We therefore must make the most effective possible use of all city areas and take all aspects of sustainability into consideration. There is one recurring factor that we believe is important to the success of transformative and green field projects namely, a powerful specialize in the citizens perspective and involving people in an exceedingly constructive dialogue on how the spaces is used. Well-planned public spaces attract visitors, which successively attracts others. By implementing the citizens' perspective all told project phases, we will build bridges and tunnels as efficient mobility systems that break down barriers while also providing urban spaces and functions that improve quality of life.

Chapter 2- LITERATURE STUDY 2.2HISTORY OF BRIDGES the success of Roman Empire was founded the development of fine communication routes. from centre of power in Rome, radiating tendrils of the foremost comprehensive road networks ever seen spread to the furthest outreach of contemporary day in Europe and northern Africa. the construction of roads and their ability to link one town on to the following meant overcoming natural obstruction. fundamentals to the success of the empire was the necessity for these routes to be fast, efficient, and really reliable. where roads encountered rivers, boats, or ferry crossing was time- consuming because it involved the loading and unloading of the products and men. additionally, boat crossing were at risk of the vagaries of the stream. in contrast, bridges secured the permanence of communication that the empire required. early Romans bridges were of timber and there are some accounts of pontoon bridges. timber perform well with relevance its strength to weight ratio, and is ready to face up to a particular amount of bending simply supported timber beams may be heavier piers, affording a flatter deck relative to the quantity of the fabric employed whilst still with unequal linear spans. through the rediscovery of roman bridge building techniques, lost during the Dark Ages, the frères du Pont and other monastic communities disseminated the abilities and knowledge of bridge construction throughout the Christian world. combined with new abilities in stone crafts and masonry, which were being perfectly through the craft guild within the construction of the nice medieval cathedrals throughout Europe, this marked a replacement era in bridge building.
2.3TYPES OF BRIDGES 2.3.1BRIDGES BY STRUCTURE The core structure of the bridge determines how it distributes the inner forces of tension, compression, torsion, bending, and sheer. The handling of these forces will be centralized in notable structural members such as cable-stayed bridge where forces are distributed during a distinct placement or be distributed via truss URBANISM ALONG THE BRIDGE
Page 19
Chapter 2- LITERATURE STUDY across the virtually entire structure of the bridge.
2.3.1.1ARCH BRIDGES use arch as a main structural component, With the assistance of mid-span piers, they will be made with one or more arches, counting on what reasonably load and stress forces they need to endure. The core component of the bridge is its abutments and pillars, which must be built strong because they'll carry the burden of the complete bridge structure and forces they convey.
Arch bridges can be fixed, but they support decking fiction, including transporting of pedestrians, light or heavy rail, vehicles and water-carrying aqueducts. the foremost popular materials for the development of arch bridges are masonry stone, concrete, timber, atomic number 26, forged iron and steel. Examples
of
arch
bridge
are
“Old
Bridge”
in
Mostar,
Bosnia,
and
Herzegovina, and therefore the Hell Gate Bridge in big apple. The oldest stone bridge is Greek Arkadiko Bridge which is over 3 thousand years old. The longest stone arch bridge is Solkan Bridge in Slovenia with a powerful span of 220 meters.
2.3.1.2BEAM-BRIDGES one or several horizontal beams that may either simply span the realm between abutments or relieve a number of the pressure on structural piers. The core force that marks the effect of beam bridges is the transformation of vertical force into shear and flexural load that is transferred to the support structures (abutments or mid-bridge, piers).
Initially built by dropping wooden logs over short rivers or ditches, the bridge started getting used more widely with the extensive use of metalwork's, steel boxes, and pre-stressed construction concrete. Beam bridges today are separated into girder bridges, plate girder bridges, box beam bridges and easy beam bridges.
URBANISM ALONG THE BRIDGE
Page 20
Chapter 2- LITERATURE STUDY Individual decking of the segmented beam bridge will be of the identical length, variable lengths, inclined or V-shaped. the foremost famous example of beam bridge is Lake Pontchartrain Causeway in southern Louisiana that's 23.83 miles (38.35 km) long.
2.3.1.3TRUSS BRIDGES bridge style that uses a diagonal mesh of most triangle-shaped posts on top of the bridge to distribute forces across entire bridge structure. Individual parts of this structure (usually straight beams) will endure dynamic forces of tension and compression, however by distributing those masses across entire structure, entire bridge will handle abundant stronger forces and heavier masses than alternative types of bridges.
The two commonest truss styles area unit the king posts (two diagonal posts supported by single vertical post among the centre) and queen posts (two diagonal posts, 2 vertical posts and horizontal post that connect 2 vertical posts at the top). several alternative types of the truss area unit in use – Allan, Bailey, Baltimore, Bollman, Bowstring, Brown, Howe, Lattice, Lenticular, Pennsylvania, Pratt, and others.
Truss bridges were introduced terribly method back, at once changing into one in each of the foremost widespread bridge varieties because of their unbelievable resilience and economic builds that require an awfully bit of cloth for construction. the foremost common build materials used for bridge construction area unit timber, iron, steel, reinforced concrete and prestressed concrete. The truss bridges are each mounted and transportable.
2.3.1.4CANTILEVER BRIDGES are somewhat similar in look to arch bridges, however they support their load, not through a vertical bracing however trough diagonal bracing with horizontal beams that are being supported solely on one finish. The overwhelming majority of cantilever bridges use one try of continuous spans that are placed between 2 piers, with beams meeting on the centre over the obstacle that bridge spans URBANISM ALONG THE BRIDGE
Page 21
Chapter 2- LITERATURE STUDY (river, uneven parcel of land, or others). bridge can also use mid-bridge pears are their foundation from that they span in each directions toward different piers and abutments.
The size and weight capability of the bridge impact the quantity of segments it uses. easy pedestrian crossings over terribly short distances will use easy cantilever beam, however larger distances will use either 2 beams popping out of each abutment or multiple centre piers. Cantilever bridges cannot span terribly massive distances. they're going to be clean or use truss formation each below and on top of the bridge, and most popular constriction material are steel, iron, and prestressed concrete.
Some of the foremost renowned spans among the globe are cantilever bridge in North American country, Forth Bridge in European nation and Japanese capital Gate bridge in Japan. 2.3.1.5TIED ARCH BRIDGES are similar in style to arch bridges, however they transfer the burden of the bridge and traffic load to the very best chord that is connected to the bottom cords in bridge foundation. the bottom attachment wire are going to be strengthened decking itself or a separate deck-independent structure that interfaces with tierods.
They are usually known as cord arches or cord bridges and will be created in many variations, together
with body
part tied-arch,
multi-span distinct tied-

The solution: a independent bridge designed exploitation the cantilever construction technique. once staging and different temporary supports square measure tough to place in, this technique saves all temporary work and permits bridges to be designed at nice heights.
The balanced cantilever construction technique is used once few spans ranging from fifty to 250m exist. Bridge’s exploitation this technique could also be either formed or cast-in-place. Once the piers square measure designed, they are used as associate degree erection platform for formed segments, or to support a type someone fore cast-in-place segments.

To manage this it's necessary to develop and use knowledge domain approaches that integrate biological, social, and different sciences to produce a higher understanding of the challenges of land use coming up with and management. Life within the urban settings is an interface between the adverse physical settings (which embody pollution, high population, heat, crowding, degraded landscape, over accumulation of solid waste, etc.) and individual characteristic arising by the time spent within the exposure to such dislike state of affairs like time spent in travelling, time pay in crowd, exposure to impure air and smokes, exposure to high level of noise, so forth.

2.15GROUND-THEORYground theory is based on the study of the relative land coverage of buildings as solid mass (figure) to open voids (ground). the item of that is to differentiate the structure of the urban area by forming a hierarchy of various areas and scales. urban pattern created by a predominant ‘field’ of solids and voids, typically known as the
material.
As
Trancik
explains,
this
approach
is
powerful
for characteristic patterns and issues at intervals the urban cloth, but it will result in a “static and 2-dimensional conception of area.” In
Trancik’s rationalization of
figure-ground
theory,
he attracts attention
to
Giambattista Nolli’s Map of Rome, attract 1748. the town is clearly outlined of solids and voids in the Nolli's diagram. The building coverage is denser that the outside area, thereby giving form to the general public openings – in different words, making positive voids, or ‘space-as-object.” The open area is outlined by being ‘carved’ out of the building mass “forming never-ending flow of interior and exterior areas.”. He more explains that while not the extent of horizontal land coverage within the style of building mass or, ‘private tissue’, a abstraction continuity would be not possible.
The
result,
buildings Associate in
an area have an
integrated
relationship wherever the building mass defines the boundaries of exterior area. the alternative of that is what we tend to square measure seeing in today’s landscape. Buildings square measure being designed preponderantly vertically instead of horizontally – that is graspable due conditions like urban migration and overspill and thus a necessity to decrease our land footprint by building ‘up’, but in doing such, exterior area is turning into Associate in Nursing uncontrolled void.

The lines are shaped by the means of street, pedestrian ways, linear open areas or different linking parts physically connect the elements of town. The linkage theory – lines’ and ‘dots’ are derived from it. Line connecting one component to a different – methods, streets, linear open areas, canals etc. style – apply the idea to organize a system of connections (networks) for linking places. the best street should type a very embedded unit to avoid the impression of being a route and supply a better setting for design. stress is placed on circulation diagram instead of the spatial diagram of the figure-ground theory.

For many years bridges have been used for transport purposes but they can also be used for other purposes which can help in the growth and welfare of the society. Bridges have been used for connectivity and each bridge have their own identity following the surrounding it has been built for. if the bridge is not designed properly and the spaces onto or around its failure will led to the suffer of the society.

She also talks about Vietnam memorial where the whole wall is painted in black with names on it these names are reflected on the walkway and the people can walk down the road by reading the name of the people. The national capital building Washington is one of the greatest structure in the world but below the structure it is used as a sitting area for interaction and people look from the bottom to the top of the structure how it looks. She also talks about la rotunda del mar where there are sculpture around it and people come around and use these space for playing or as an interactive space. The New York highline old railway station was an abandoned space but afterward the neighbourhood created pockets around the area with some sitting place. The Oakland Museum has a small pocket in which the walls are painted in black with some artwork on it and some sit out place between the area so that when people sit they can enjoy the artwork while interacting. The main advantages of providing these spaces is that people can interact with strangers, it can be used for putting up installations, these negative spaces can be converted into a positive space for increasing the area around it and make the space utilized properly She also talks about market street San Francisco where the neighbourhood transformed the space by putting up sculptures and installations

Claudia konyalian talks about what the society wants, what people want and how culture and art can help to develop the spaces between the urban area by creating spaces which give a belonging to the people where they can nurture where they can enjoy, they can interact in and around the space. She also talks how these spaces help to interact with different people and gather memory about the space. She also talks how people gather memory and share this memory about the space they enjoy the space gather there enjoy the moment and then disperse into the city, these memories gathered are shared further which makes it beautiful for them. She also mentions how an open space with some activities can leave a mark on the person than an closed space. a healthy city should be charming, diverse, noisy, porous, etc. she talks about urban creativity in public spaces, different artistic interventions in public space that change the way people live. Nicosia is the capital of Cyprus also known as lefkosia the city is filled with automobiles there are very less area for trees the city is filled with heavy traffic it has high end boutiques and limited sitting space the city had to cut down trees for making room for infrastructure, she talks how the city is divided into a public and private space in the centre of the city dividing the space with palm trees. She questions what public spaces are, who is it for, what is a private space and public space how everyone can use the space effectively, we are living in a wrong notion that malls and cafes as a open space rather than creating a free alternative for the society without any boundaries and opportunities and ideas for the space.

3.4THE IMAGE OF A CITY KEVIN LYNCH The degree of a good city performance is determined by providing biological, psychological, social and cultural providing, required to its inhabitants. One of these requirements could be specified in order to determine which city is good Kevin lynch in his book summarizes these five elements which are also called as performance dimension which is one of the aspects of urban design. Vitality-the degree on which the city sustains to its essentials, biological performance of human beings this is support for our bodies which needs the essential nutrients and supplements which we get from food, water and air, these should be in sufficient supply in order to sustain life. Moreover, good settlement should be free from danger, poison and disastrous occurrences then it can support safety for its inhabitants. Sense-it is the degree in which people recognize and organize the city in their minds between the physical city form. it is the homogeneity between environment and observer. sense is the clarity which people perceive with themselves by looking at the city and having a clear idea of the space. it depends upon the spatial structure, culture, quality, current purpose of the observer, etc. Fit-it is the match between the actions(functions) and the physical (form) of the city. it is the requirement that how well does the spatial and the temporal pattern of a settlement matches the customary behaviour of its inhabitants. When there is a harmony between the spaces, the form and pattern of behaviours people feel URBANISM ALONG THE BRIDGE

Chapter 3- LITERATURE REVIEW comfortable; conversely absence or lack of fit could make it uncomfortable and difficult to behave through the areas. Accessibility-this does not only means the ability of a person to transport easily, but also to access all the things such as services, information, other places and go to other peoples, etc, also then an interaction and connection can be established between variables and the spaces. Access offers degree of choice an diversity presented to us. A place should provide people with information about physical ways of reaching it. Control-it is the degree to which the environment is under the control of the people who reside or use the space on daily basis. According to hall control gives people feelings of stability and a sense of power. people feel in control when there is enough social and physical space around them to utilize it and do what they need to do. NAREIN PARERA (1994) HAS EXTENSIVELY WORKED ON URBAN VOIDS IN THE CITY AND DEFINE THEM AS THE FOLLOWING"Urban voids are unutilized, under-utilized or abandoned land and premises which exists in urban areas due to outdated or defunct space uses. Urban voids can even be created by identifying dilapidated premises which has the potential to redevelop for new urban functions. The term should not be confused with open spaces areas such as parks or side-walks which have a specific function assigned to them. as used in legal terms (e.g.; null and void contracts-the contract exists but not effective), voids mean ineffective in urban planning context too."(narein parera'1994) KELLER (1994) WRITE NEW YORK CITY URBAN VOIDS CREATED BY ELEVATED EXPRESSWAYS"Raised highway through industrial dwelling or void zones creates a field of potential underneath.

(Keller,1994) "Elevated freeways have done even worse damage to the areas through which they pass they have blocked out the light and air; they have brought blight into the city through their great shadows on the ground through the noise of their traffic. Worse still, the surfaces under them devoted to parking lots, automobile junkyards, cyclone fences and rubbish these elements more surely than the freeway itself have gone far to uglify the cities through it passes."(halprin,1996)
3.5HENRY LEFEBVRE SPACE AND SPATIALITY Lefebvre in his seminal work(1974) ,the production of space, introduces the concept of social space that encompasses the phenomenon of spontaneous creation of space through his social practice. He looks into the social-spatial relationship of space and the relationship of social order in space. He represents the conceptual triad of spaces. Perceived, conceived, lived which in spatial social terms he refers to as spatial practice, representation of the different spaces and representational spaces respectively. He provides the ontological discourse, exploring the interrelationship between these three parts of the triad, their characteristics and differences and asserts that each of the spaces, perceived, conceived, and lived, contributes in one way or the other towards the production of spaces by their interrelatedness and mutual overlap in the physical space of the city.

There are vacant blight clearance sites remnants of the urban renewal days that were over for a multitude of reasons, never redeveloped. they are loosely composed commercial strips and residual areas between the districts that emerge without anyone realizing it. Lost spaces are deteriorated parks and marginal public housing projects that have to be rebuilt because they do not serve the intended purpose.

She has helped in planning the newest public spaces in New York, she also talks about the unexpected challenges of planning parks and why it is important. She is also an animal behaviourist and uses these techniques to look into human behaviour and how they react to these spaces. Buildings should have public spaces as they are important for the people to help to develop the city. These spaces require a lot of detailing and keeping into mind what spaces does attract people? What keeps them away from these spaces? The positive and negative part of the space. What makes these spaces so special, how the unusual areas in the parks are the most comfortable ones and how one finds its place of comfort within the space. She talks how plazas without green scapes are just waste of the space which is not utilized by the people. successful public spaces are tough but they are opportunities for the people and for the society to build a space of their own. She also talks how the battery park was converted was going to be a abandoned space in 1980 after she developed the space into an space for interaction with sit outs, trees, railings along the line. She also faced the problem when new space URBANISM ALONG THE BRIDGE

She also talks about the abandoned waterfront in lower Manhattan by providing sit outs and trees along the waterfront with heighted railings the people could connect with the water, they could feel the water. How to turn the space into a park by feeling the space within and what we want for the people. She talks about the New York highline which was used as a railway line but was an abandoned space in the later years, the space was converted into a pocket park for creating an interactive space in the core of the city. She says that developers would have used that space as an area for a mall which would have fetched the city a lot of economic help but creating a park has elevated the area into a different functional space. These spaces need to be maintained so that they are not abandoned. People feel better about the city, as it is the reason that people stay there.

He says that historical times the area is divided into two parts towns and cities that are a place for commerce and economy, technology and rural places which are grounded and related to the food production activities. He gives an example about Denver how the increased number of industries and automobiles in the vicinity lead the framers to leave the space. There is a gap between the urban and rural areas which need to be connected by creating mixed land use, mixed generation equally connected open spaces, connected to urban environment but grounded to the nature. He talks about how the rural economy plays an important role in the urban areas.

Home is a place which everyone one has weather it is a built or an unbuilt entity but everyone has lost the sense of place and don't like going to their home. "a home maker turns a house into a home A place maker turns a space into a place" They focus on design as well as how to turn that place into a home. For experiment he placed a throne chair in middle of famous places and left a camera there, he noticed that people were sitting on that throne and started taking photographs of themselves, he did the same activity in an parking lot where destitute people came to sleep there, he noticed that the people did steal the camera but they did the same thing of sitting on the throne and taking photographs of themselves, these memories of taking photographs stays as a memory with the people who experienced the spaced they felt as if they were a king. "Creating memorable experiences that are potentially transformative" "a place is an antidote to our addiction to movement" People thought that the industrial revolution is the only productivity and sitting ideal in the park is an unproductive activity, we think that we can fly when we get an opportunity on a new space, but there are new infinite possibilities that can happen every day, which can be admired and nurtured. he gives an example of a man complained about the increase in traffic on the street to stop this he started having his dinning activities outside in the lawn through which not only stopped the traffic but also some people had lunch with him on their way, by observing this all the community people living in that vicinity started it, this lead to a sense of space, an increase in the interaction of the community without an community hall, activities can happen anywhere and does not require a built form for it to perform.

Chapter 3- LITERATURE REVIEW He says that parks are a good public space for people as an interactive and a community space for performing different activities. He talks that spaces should not have democratic boundaries of religion, sex. How spaces which are abandoned or not usable can be converted into parks which can be useful for the community like old train yards, redevelop expressways and promenades, etc. he also mentions about
public, private,
partnership spaces in the city. He gives an example of recycling dump area converted into an park by replacing the land area with new soil in it, another example he of the bridges and the nodes of it were used for these purposes with the help of recycling materials and making the project cost effective. Parks are not just an public space but they play an multiple important values, solution for collecting water by providing street scapes, tree planting pits. Sponge parks can be an solution at paved areas like school yards, rail yards.
3.13KEVIN LYNCH-THE IMAGE OF THE CITY "Looking at cities can give a special pleasure, however commonplace the sight may be. Like a piece of architecture, the city is a construction in space, but one of vast scale, a thing perceived only in the course of long spans of time. City design is therefore a temporal art… At every instant, there is more than the eye can see, more than the ear can hear, a setting or a view waiting to be explored. Nothing is experienced by itself, but always in relation to its surrounding, the sequences of events leading up to it, the memory of past experiences."

Chapter 3- LITERATURE REVIEW 9th street community divide the city into two areas one with the indigent people on side and the affluent people on the other side the disadvantage of this was the indigent people did not have enough green spaces to live and build the community in a better area and also had less food productions. Less greens in the vicinity could lead to heat island effect and can be fatal for the people. By providing urban green spaces it can help to improve the air, water quality in the area as well to reduce crimes in the area, they have a positive impact on the mental health and gives a sense of pride of the space. They can be also used for increasing food production in the area. She talks about "just green enough" which talks about developing enough green spaces for the community that is sufficient for them, more green spaces can have a disadvantage that it can lead to shifting of people living in that vicinity for more green space and that people will have to migrate to another area which can cause shortage of space. People bought together through green spaces, living in the open courtyard spaces for community gathering. There can be different activities developed like farming which can bring the community together, building communities around these green spaces, these spaces heal the land by filling the spots and heal the community "as you heal the land, you heal yourself." She gives an example of people garden in Ohio near wood forest, and how the community around build a community space around the area which helped them economically as well as a sense of space in the area, people can also turn abandoned spaces, building vicinity areas, vacant plots, into green spaces by planting trees around the vicinity. "service to others is the rent you pay for your room here on earth" There can be also teaching programs about planting activities and create awareness at community level.

Chapter 3- LITERATURE REVIEW 3.15THE STREET -AN URBAN ECOLOGY-VIKAS MEHTA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZPMkXTOz8Q Street are lifeline of the cities, they make most of the space in the city, leveraging this resource as a socially, culturally, politically, and economically and reimagining expression in urban street as an interaction space. Streets occupy 42% of our entire city they play an important part in the development of the society, they are the soul of our cities. Vikas is interested in various dimensions of urbanity through the exploration of place as an social and ecological setting and as a sensational art. He focuses on the role of design , equitable , stimulating and supportive environment. He emphasizes on defining a sense of place and place distinctiveness, design and visualization of urban spaces and activities, and cities and regions as just equitable and sustainable living system. He measures the sociability that have advanced existing method to study human behaviour in public spaces. He talks about proximity and how it is lined with access and encounter which we get through the cities. These are the main thing for the cities to be successful. Our neighbourhood are surrounded by street which can used in many ways such as streets are used for vehicular access over the years but they can be used as an pedestrian access which will have social impact on the space. He talks about how system overlap and interact with each other on the streets and they can be managed by distribution and diffusion. He mentions about India and how streets are used for different activities such from preaching to pray, playing to eating, buying to selling, the system has the need and desire for social, economic, travel aspects "Where do people hangout and why people linger around." Street is a place to gather, share, learn, relax, to exchange and enhance the ideas managed through diffusion of the space. The streets are divided into three sections fixed, floating, and fleeting they define these spaces and play an important role, they are the 3 main dimensions of urban streets, and urban ecology.

It is where the crisis bites, where needed social innovation happens, and where capitalist restricting manifest. Public spaces should be democratic, they an achievement of urban society, people encounter good or bad experiences in public spaces but it is a live memory which leaves a mark on the person. She mentions about three cities Madrid, Vienna, Berlin Madrid-in Madrid people lost their jobs and lost their work place which had effected the city badly but they community came as one and solved the problem by using these public spaces as an work place to distribute their ideas in the society this not only helped the people to interact with the space but also gave them a new space to redefine it. Vienna-they came up with open innovation, spatial turns in public spaces they came up this idea of open innovation so that public spaces serves the public in the urban society for e.g.-if a person does not have a place to stay these public spaces can be utilized by them by designing it according to the needs of the people. Berlin-they transformed their core arenas which were looked by developers as an opportunity for a commercial place which would have caused inequality to the urban society, which would lead to decline of values and increase in the poverty. "Inequality is the problem that the concept of class describes" They targeted new approaches, targeted areas to create new public spaces. "Faith of a group is bound up with works which designate them"

"the city creates the theatre and its theatre" It is the city, the city as theatre that means more purposive activities are focused, and work out through conflicting and co-operating personalities, events, groups into more significant culminations. City is a place of interactions, generating individual and social interactions. Spatial proximities, social distances, urban relationships are very intimate and very distant at the same time very serendipitous. Temporalities of urban space. Complexity of everyday routines from one district to another varies. URBANISM ALONG THE BRIDGE

Chapter 3- LITERATURE REVIEW City space serves as a ultimate grounds for reproduction of social relations, formation of collective and social identities, through urban rituals. Public spaces can also be a place for conflict, demonstration, etc. Spatiality of the city is transformed by such social events and impacts the nature of social events. The city with its architectural complexities and corpus, the urban theatre which unfolds urban drama one after the other in layers. While understanding the past, and the shared memories that are attached to the architectural spaces. Urban fabric-cities acts as a place where technologies, knowledge is produced, exchanged and put to use in productive material activities. These materials greatly shape the urban spaces and give them a new form and crystallize in the physical world of the city, its architectural culture. It knits the disparate spaces into one continuous narrative space.
3.19SOCIO CULTURAL INTERACTIONS-MANUEL CASTELLS He states that cities are a space for socio cultural interaction which help the society to develop new ideas and opportunities for them to explore these spaces and utilize them. Network plays an important role in interaction between people and the spaces. network society is an expression related to political, economic, and cultural changes caused by different networks in the society, the concept of network society is closely associated with interpretation of social implications at a global level, and the role of electronic communication technologies in the society. A key aspect of network society of network society is that specific societies are deeply affected by inclusion in and exclusion from the global network that structure production, consumption, communication. His hypothesis is that will gradually wipe out the technological changes on the planet for ex everyone has a mobile, he argues that exclusion is a inbuilt, structural feature of the network society. Networks are based on inclusion and exclusion. It functions on the basis of incorporating people and resources that are valuable to their task and excluding URBANISM ALONG THE BRIDGE
Page 71
Chapter 3- LITERATURE REVIEW other people, territories and activities that have less value for the performance of those tasks. Different networks have different rationales and geographies of exclusion and inclusion for e.g.- Silicon Valley engineers occupy very different social and territorial spaces from criminal networks. The division of labour and poverty trap are those who are the source of innovation and value to the society, those who can merely carry out instructions. In social culture power plays an important role for determining the social change, because connectivity and access to network are essential to the power of some social groups to impose values and goals on society at a large scale and others to resist their domination In network society one of the most important impacts of globalization is the it enables us to create economic, social, and political relationships that are less and less bounded by where we are located at any given time by our spatial location. In traditional society, different social relation, customs, and culture exist in separate spaces and individuals have to conform to most powerful expectations and rules. Communication is seen as a one-way street, rather than an vaccination of new information into passive recipients who absorb novel information and ideas, then individuals and local communities can be disempowered by communication of external knowledge and culture.

4.2HISTORY OF PUBLIC SPACESpublic and recreation relation in India in the past was integrated into daily activities. The rural environment generated the need for activities which essentially involved a number of recreational benefits to them. Space and the surrounding environment play an important role in to day to day life. It plays an important role in recreation because space generates activity, in history, occupation and the space generated activities that were set up in natural setting as opposed to synthetic environs which are found in modern cities that disconnect humans form their natural environment. Recreation is more a psychological state of mind than a physical sense of it. Hence the entire ambience of recreation differs from cities to cities and needs to be fixed in case of it.
4.3IMPORTANCE AND IMPACT OF PUBLIC SPACESIncreasing urbanization has left people with very fewer opportunities than previous generation, to play freely outdoor without any fear and experience the natural environment. There are numerous benefits associated with access to public open spaces

Chapter 4- PUBLIC SPACE Access to public spaces can improve in mental as well as physical health, it helps to reduce the stress level in urban cities, it helps in social interaction, development of social skills and social values, strengthens democracy and create liveliness in the life of the city as well as the people. Public spaces facilitate the exchange of ideas, friendship, goods and skills. In cities around the world, public spaces have been an important ingredient of vibrant urban life. Public spaces benefit to all the age groupsFor children it helps for mental growth and training to communicate, play games, develop skills and thoughts, etc. For teenagers it can be a place to meet, play, learn, can chat with their friends, learn social values, participate in social activities, etc. For women it can be a place to chat, gossip, shop, relax, interact with people learn new things, etc. For workers it can be a break out space, space for exercise, discuss ideas for start-ups, meet new people and interact with them. For senior citizens, it is a space for exercise, health clubs, social interaction, etc. By revitalizing public spaces, positive potential of public spaces can be developed, economic, opportunities can be created, public health can be improved, diverse public environment can be created and democracy can be built. Therefore public open spaces help in strengthening social fabric , environment, creating opportunities for employment and improving the well-being of the communities utilizing the space socially as well as monetarily "public open space should be regarded as the living room of the city"-Jan gehl, Danish architect who insists public life should be the driver of urban design.

Chapter 4- PUBLIC SPACE 4.4WHY PUBLIC SPACE MATTER In urban spaces recreation spaces are an important and essential component for an healthy and sustainable urban environment. Social contact with different people from different background, and culture, acknowledgement, is one of the most important values of open spaces. In a hectic life full of stress long working hours, reduced number of holidays, and health concern are some of the aspects why public open spaces are important and fix the city life. It also helps in to uplift the quality of life as well of the surrounding which helps to increase productivity of work. Cities are threatened by the erection of malls, elevated roads, destruction of open market to make a way for the tall skyscrapers' and office structure, luxury apartment, privatizing of open spaces, etc are the main reason where the focus of the cities goes towards the infrastructure projects, an important step should be taken at the earliest for public open spaces. Cities need public spaces that are interesting, attractive, entertaining, unique, and inviting to people. Sitting, eating, reading, resting, playing, education, entertainment, special events like shows, community celebration, farmers market, and public speeches, etc, can become an platform for public events and community celebration. “Public space is for living, doing business, kissing, and playing. Its value can't be measured with economics or mathematics; it must be felt with the soul.”
-Enrique Penalosa Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where nature may heal and give strength to body and soul. -John Muir

all
or
any individuals of
various background.
The
open
public
areas within the town are a illustration of the people’s perspective, concepts and beliefs. They play a number to big selection of activities and act as platform wherever individuals perform their daily schedules.
individuals are the soul public areas and they function nodes within the city, wherever individuals gather, and celebrate the goodness of life. Public places have forever been a vicinity of human civilization. it's a road connection two necessary destinations, a spirited street developed on a linkage, a temple or maybe a heritage site that draw a bead on individuals.
The open public house ought to be a social house that accessible to all or any, no matter gender, age or socio-economic level. Public places become necessary as they produce a visible communication between many persons who visit it. Any public house has 3 characteristics: physical, social and cultural. to create a flourishing town, it ought to give a way of place that strengthens community identity and community pride. This improves community relation and reduces feeling
of
alienation whereas making an
area for all
sorts of
individuals to
congregate. Open public are associate improvement a part of the city’s urban material. These areas are the respiratory areas during a city’s urban material.
4.6SOCIAL VALUES OF PUBLIC OPEN SPACES public spaces are receptive all, no matter caste, religion, sex, gender, and such they represent the democracy and culture of the town. Through proper design approach, these spaces need help in developing social, cultural, interactive spaces and connections which have disappeared in our cities and are deteriorating it as a full.

Chapter 4- PUBLIC SPACE the process of privatization has led to some further publicness within the city . suburbanization, technology, shopping malls, etc are indicators of segregation amongst diverse population of the town and has an adverse effect on that.
there are only a few open spaces which are left within the cities thanks to increasing population and other reason public spaces play a very important role in socio-cultural aspect in addition as they create the town vibrant and more beautiful.
reviving existing open spaces and creating new public spaces within the city are often a very important social resource. they will enhance the character of the town and supply common identity and pride for the geographical region.
face to face interaction, contact with one another remain vital even in an exceedingly society with refined communication technology is because face to face relation generate trust that help the people to cross border of social division.
People have less privacy and are crammed together in cities, but within the wideopen spaces they secretly keep tabs on one another lots more. -Sara Paretsky
4.7APPROACH TO PUBLIC OPEN SPACES public spaces can accommodate spaces for various varieties of people like morning walk joggers, to play, space for folks that want peace, and an quiet environment, socializing after school/college, space for couples, family picnic, celebrating festivals, and hosting events. these are a number of the instance within which public spaces may be uses, it also shows how public spaces are flexible , and may have multi-cultural values with easy accessibility. a strategic approach is needed in assessing and determining the requirement of a community, space , and planning an open space network.

Chapter 4- PUBLIC SPACE
place making helps enhancing the planning, feel and functionality of the general public spaces through creative design interventions, and different approaches. it maximizes social interactions, and increasing the intrinsic worth of such interaction for citizens, thereby reducing the city's impersonal character. it succeeds in doing so because it seeks to the integrate the sweetness, through public art and style, into civic spaces.
''in place making, partners form public, private, non-profit, and community sectors, strategically shape the physical and social character of a part, town, tribe, region around arts and cultural activities. creative place making animates public and personal space, rejuvenates structures and streetscapes, improves local business viability and public safety, and brings diverse people together to celebrate, inspire and to be inspired.'' Ann markusen and Anne gadwa, us architects. public spaces may be a key to putting together healthy inclusive cities. Attractive and functional public spaces help in revitalizing the communities. They build a way of civic identity, community and culture. therefore money spent in developing these spaces by the corporation should be considered as an investment and not expense. place making process lead to an area where community feels ownership and engagement and human need are going to be fulfilled. this process help in local leadership creation, managing of funds and other resources. the place making approach considers catering to public needs and public participation as a key to make dynamic and healthy open spaces. ''what defines a character of a city to its public space, not its private space. what defines the value of private assets of the space are not the assets by themselves but the common assets.

Chapter 4- PUBLIC SPACE the value of the public goods affects the value of the private goods, we need to show every day that public spaces are an assets to a city.'' -un habitat executive director Joan clos matheu.
4.8PUBLIC SPACES AND HUMANS People have a major relationship with public spaces because they use and experience them on a common area as they play an important role to the society. ''The urban ideologies says that the eye given to the shape of public spaces has ultimately been driven by the will to improve the standard of life.'' because of modernism and its influence on architecture has shown, that the desire has not necessarily always been achieved. Built environment and public authorities, particularly local councils, recognize the importance and significance of public spaces. They understand that creating attractive, well-designed and maintained spaces that provide a range of opportunities for users can promote a way of community similarly as generate economic benefits. When these figures visit the built environment in terms of being ‘humanistic’ or at a ‘human scale’, it shows that they understand that the environment can have a fundamental impact on how people feel in, and skill the environment, and how it can effect humans in many ways.
Terms like ‘feel’ and ‘experience’ convey the complexities of the human mind and emotions. so as to understand how the environment impacts how people ‘feel’ and how people ‘experience’ the environment, it's necessary to grasp people’s physiological and psychological processes. when the environment affects people’s behaviour, only then can a very ‘humanistic’ environment be seen. ''cultures and climate differ from place to place but the people are the same all over the world but they will gather if you give them a good place.'' Jan Gehl
URBANISM ALONG THE BRIDGE
Page 79
Chapter 4- PUBLIC SPACE Many people think that human behaviour publicly spaces is ‘chaotic’ or a minimum of very irregular. This differs from User's behaviour in complex situations to normal situations, where people apply an optimized behavioural strategy through these urban spaces. this implies that urban design can't be limited only to physical forms, but also includes people activities that play the important role in urban spaces. it supposed to be designed to fulfil people’s needs and support their activities, while, they're trying to realize their goals and obtain their destinations through those spaces. But unfortunately, there's a miss-understanding between their needs and spaces design in many urban spaces, which reflects on their behaviour and leads them to act randomly in a very irregular way. The way in which the design of human environment affects human environment are important, one understand the aspect in matter of cooperation. Much of our modern
life
depends
on
cooperation
between
individuals
on
street,
neighbourhood, in work place, etc. Cooperation is only one of the number equally important consideration for making friends and interaction with others. there are other ways in which the environment relates to human behaviour., communicating with others in order to share our experiences and find out what is going on is another matter that is very important to most people. the ease and accuracy through which people find communication ways through urban landscapes is largely contingent on the nature of the surrounding environment. Any environment that is inadequate for its intended purpose frustrates and annoys us.
4.9ROLE OF PUBLIC OPEN SPACES IN PUBLIC LIFE The urban image is the way that a city is perceived, both by the citizens and by those outside. Not only is that this image a picture held in common by an oversized number of persons, but it is also used as the way of communicating about the town. Since urban images are supported human perception, they're greatly influenced by sensory elements of the urban form, especially the visual elements. People's URBANISM ALONG THE BRIDGE
Page 80
Chapter 4- PUBLIC SPACE perception of their environment influences their social interaction within that environment. Users themselves are the intrinsic links to the space they're going to be living in. In other words, if they cannot have this link, they're going to simply either go or destroy the place until it reflects if not their comfort a minimum of their discomfort – and in both cases their state of being. People inherently discern their relationship with others in terms of distances, or spaces, between them. Error!

These are categorized as intimate, personal, social, and public. • Intimate space is that the private area immediately surrounding the individual’s body. It involves both physical and emotional interactions. (45 cm) • Personal space is that area within which someone allows only select friends, or people with whom personal conversation is mandatory. (1.2 m) • Social space is that area within which someone expects to create social contacts on temporary basis. (3.6 m) • Public space is that area within which someone doesn't expect to possess direct contact with others.

Chapter 3- LITERATURE REVIEW 4.10ROLE OF PUBLIC OPEN SPACES IN QUALITY OF LIFE Urban design qualities are different from qualities like sense of comfort, sense of safety and level of interest that reflect how a personal reacts to a place—how they assess the conditions there, given their own attitudes and preferences. Perceptions are just that, may produce different reactions in several people. they will be assessed with a degree of objectivity by outside observers; individual reactions cannot. All of those factors—physical features, urban design qualities and individual reactions may influence the way a personal feel about the environment as an area to steer, stay, enjoy, live and sit. City people have developed new patterns of life with more active use of the city’s many offerings and meeting places. City people place higher demands to the qualities of the cities and therefore the architectural disposition of thoroughfares, city spaces and buildings have great impact on the kind of activities that city can contain. City life is characterized by flows and movements. it's characterized by streams, networks, relations, interactions and connections—all of which are during a state of flux in relationship to every other. New experiences and unsuspected situations emerge all the time. Earlier the fight for town space concerned regaining of town space from the cars and pushing the commercial interests’ forwards. the main focus shifted on creating
city
spaces
that
enhance
the
humanistic
dimension
of
experience. town space should be mentally and socially stimulating to the users and may be ready to contain the variety of town by creating spaces where the cities different cultures can meet and interact. Since urban spaces don't only accommodates buildings but also people's moods and relations, we glance at urban spaces as parameters for change in respect to culture, life forms, gentrification, and as attractors for various segments of citizens. Urban design as a catalyst for change identifies how urban spaces may be seen as catalysts for the event of “the good city concept” – socially, culturally and architecturally.

Chapter 4- PUBLIC SPACE For example, a village with such a less population can depend entirely on face to face contact between its members. Within such community, all members know one another personally by voice, by face, by name. It is perceived that even a tiny low city couldn't be, built by nor remain amorphous community. Cities are made sub community and therefore the functionality of a city depends on the interaction of its sub communities to coordinate direct and control this interaction. Urban space require redefinition in terms of function to fulfil the communication need of sub communities and thus town. The community is forced to adapt its communication process through implemented design within the city.
Community space is an extended private space through which virtual connectivity overlap. Community spaces with public open spaces are a category of urban spaces areas where the aim is to allow public movement and activities during these activities which falls the streets, highways, sidewalks, etc. Urban features like markets, parks, squares, open stalls, etc, demand the general public sensory participants which can draw individuals out of their own private boundaries, it involves composition of passive likewise as active spaces. These non-involvement spaces are the solution to communication needs of the community. The spacing of urban spaces modulate the ways of sub communities are formed to interact and therefore the survival of those communities. The pattern of public spaces become determinant of the communities future.

Architecture in water is that the study of structures that may be created in and on water. Analysing the development of forts amidst water and underwater tunnels in history conclude that these ideas have invariably invited a person to explore the concept of environs. In present context below water and on water, construction is extremely trending that permits the employment of recent technologies within the field of construction.
4.13NEED FOR WATERFRONT AND ITS USAGE Waterfronts are dynamic places naturally. As a grip environment, the overlap of different communities of users and different conditions make enormous amounts of complexity and energy. within the non-human realm, waterfronts are the interface of the aquatic and also the terrestrial, the location of complex intertidal communities. As related to human history and use, waterfronts have a protracted history of fixing types and levels of uses, and are now coming into potentially thriving and layered public use. Once the location of first settlements and exploration, they need long served as transportation corridors and ports, hubs of trade, travel centres, recreation venues, and much more. Waterfronts are extensively employed by humans for his or her utility in travel, trade, recreation, and general enjoyment, and have also suffered cycles of abuse and neglect from these very use patterns.
Cities seek a waterfront that's an area of public enjoyment. They want a waterfront where there’s ample visual and physical public access - all day, all year - to both the water and also the land. Cities also need a waterfront that serves over one

Appreciation of morphology helps urban designers to bear in mind of native patterns of development and processes of modification. Initial work in the sphere centred on analysing evolution and change in ancient urban area. thought of land uses, building structures, plot pattern and street pattern to be the foremost important. He emphatic the distinction in stability of those parts. Buildings, and significantly the land uses they accommodate, are sometimes the least resilient parts. though a lot of enduring, the plot pattern changes over time as individual plots area unit divided or amalgamated. The street plan tends to be the foremost enduring component. Its stability derives from its being a capital quality not lightly set aside from possession structures; and in particular, from the difficulties of organizing and implementing large-scale modification. Changes do happen, however, through destruction by war or natural disaster or, within the fashionable amount, through programmed of comprehensive improvement.

The blocks outline the house, or the areas outline the blocks. the bottom set up of most settlements, Public Places in Urban areas can be seen as a series of overlays from completely different ages.

Chapter 5- URBAN DIMENSIONS have typically developed over several tons of years, and fragments and 'ghosts' of patterns from completely different eras will be seen within the spherical plans of many cities. An important urban style quality established by the registry pattern is that of 'permeability' - meaning the extent to that associate surroundings all lows a alternative of routes each through and at intervals it. it's additionally a live of the chance for movement. A connected live - 'accessibility' - may be a measure of what's achieved in follow a product of the interaction between the individual and the registry system. 'Visual' porosity refers to the ability to examine the routes through associate surroundings, whereas 'physical' porosity refers to the ability to manoeuvre through associate surroundings. In some cases there could also be visual however not physical porosity.
Cadastral patterns composed of the many small sized street blocks have a fine urban grain, while patterns with fewer larger blocks have a rough urban grain. a district with smaller blocks offers a greater alternative of routes and usually creates more semi permeable surroundings than one with larger blocks. Smaller blocks additionally increase visual porosity - the smaller the block, the easier it's to examine from one junction to ensuing.
5.1.5THE PUBLIC HOUSE NETWORK AND THE CAPITAL WEB The register pattern establishes AN urban area's public house network and could be a key part within the broader thought of the capital net. As well as displaying and providing access to the 'public face' of personal property, the general public house network accommodates the overlapping realms of 'movement house' and 'social' space i.e., outdoor space for individuals to interact in economic, social and cultural transaction. This social house could be a constituent a part of the 'public realm'. Pedestrian movement is compatible with the notion of streets as social house. Indeed, there is a symbiotic relationship between pedestrian movement and social transactions. in contrast, car-based movement is pure circulation. Opportunities for many sorts of social interaction and exchange solely URBANISM ALONG THE BRIDGE

Chapter 5- URBAN DIMENSIONS occur once the automotive has been position prompting attention on destinations instead of journeys. When the principal modes of transport were by foot, the realms of movement and social house had significant overlap. With the development of recent modes of travel, these realms have become more and more compartmentalized into vehicular movement house and pedestrian movement/social house. At identical time, public house has been colonized by the automotive and therefore the social aspects of the 'street' suppressed in favour of movement and circulation - the 'road'. The pattern of blocks and therefore the public house network, and basic infrastructure and the other relatively permanent parts of an geographic region, constitute the on top of ground, visible parts.

Le Corbusier, for example, build a building to a soap bubble: 'This bubble is ideal and harmonious if the breath has been equally distributed and controlled from the inside. the outside is that the results of interior.' Designed from the within out, responding solely to their practical needs and to concerns of
light, air,
hygiene, aspect, prospect, 'movement', 'openness', etc., buildings became sculptures, 'objects in space', their exterior kind and therefore the link to public area just a by-product of their internal coming up with. The desire for separation was strengthened by public health and coming up with standards like density zoning, road widths, sight lines, the area needed for underground services, street by-laws and day lighting angles. The shift towards separate buildings was also fuelled by the need for them to be distinctive a consequence of the business interests of the development business and building

Public Places Urban areas surrounding buildings, or architecturally distinctive. Through separation and physical distance, separate buildings square measure insulated from negative (and positive) spill-over effects of the native context.
5.2PERCEPTUAL DIMENSION Sensation refers to human sensory systems reacting to environmental stimuli. The four most valuable senses in decoding and sensing the environment are vision, hearing, smell and bit. VISION: The dominant sense, vision provides more info than the opposite senses combined. Orientation in area is achieved visually. vision is active and searching: 'We look; smells and sounds return to us.' seeing is highly advanced, counting on distance, colour, shape, textural and distinction gradients, etc. HEARING: whereas beholding involves what lies before us, and considerations objects in area, 'acoustic' area is all-surrounding, has no obvious boundaries, and emphasizes area itself we have a tendency to powerfully aroused by, as an example, screams, music, thunder, and soothed by the flow of water or the wind. SMELL: like hearing, the human sense of smell isn't well developed. still, while even a lot of info poor than sound, smell is probably showing emotion richer. TOUCH: within the urban context, notes, abundant of the expertise of texture comes through our feet, after we sit down, instead of through our hands. These sensory stimuli are

perceived
and
appreciated
as

interconnected whole. The individual dimensions will solely be separated out by deliberate actions (closing one's eyes, blocking one's nose or ears) or by selective attention.

In essence, it enables us to form sense of the surroundings.
AFFECTIVE: involves our feelings, that influence perception of the surroundings equally, perception of the surroundings influences our feelings.
INTERPRETATIVE: encompasses which means or associations derived from the surroundings. In decoding info, we have a tendency to deem memory for points of comparison with freshly older stimuli.
EVALUATIVE: incorporates values and preferences and the determination of 'good' or 'bad'. The 'environment' is thought-about as a mental construct, associate degree environmental image, created and valued otherwise by every individual.

perception is additionally socially and culturally 'learnt'. While sensations is also similar for everybody, how individuals filter, react to, organize and worth those sensations differs. variations in environmental perception depend upon factors like age, gender, ethnicity, lifestyle, length of residence in a vicinity, and on the physical, social and cultural surroundings within which someone lives and was raised.

Nodes may be primarily junctions, or just 'thematic concentrations' of a selected use or physical character. As selections are created and a spotlight heightened, junctions and changes of travel mode create nodes a lot of vital.

The strongest edges area unit visually outstanding, continuous in kind, and sometimes impenetrable to cross movement. Edges area unit necessary organizing features, notably once they hold along generalized areas, as within the define of a town by water or a wall. Most cities have terribly clearly identified edges. DISTRICTS: District’s area unit the medium-to-large components of a town that observers mentally 'enter', or that have the distinguishing physical character of 'thematic continuities' in terms of texture, space, form, detail, symbol, uses, inhabitants, maintenance, topography, etc. Given some distinctive components, but not enough to form a 'full thematic unit', a district are going to be place able in and of itself solely to someone familiar with the town.

Chapter 5- URBAN DIMENSIONS 5.3SOCIAL-DIMENSIONSPUBLIC SPACE AND THE PUBLIC/PRIVATE INTERFACEAs successful places support and facilitate activities, the design of urban spaces should be informed by awareness of how people use them. Accomplished urban designers generally develop a detailed knowledge of urban spaces, places and environments, based upon first-hand experience. accessible to all groups and providing for freedom public spaces should also be 'responsive' - that is, designed and managed to serve the needs of their users. They identify five primary needs that people seek to satisfy in public space: 'comfort'; 'relaxation'; 'passive engagement with the environment'; 'active engagement with the environment'; and 'discovery'. Good places frequently serve more than one purpose. COMFORTComfort is a prerequisite of successful public spaces. The length of time people stay in a public space is a function and an indicator of its comfort. The dimensions of a sense of comfort include environmental. RELAXATIONWhile a sense of psychological comfort may be a prerequisite of relaxation, relaxation is a more developed state with the 'body and mind at ease', In urban settings, natural elements - trees, greenery, water features - and separation from vehicular traffic help accentuate the contrast with the immediate surroundings and make it easier to be relaxed. The features that make a pleasant sanctuary may, however, also obstruct visual access (visual permeability), creating safety problems and discouraging use. PASSIVE ENGAGEMENTWhile passive engagement with the environment can lead to a sense of relaxation, it also involves 'the need for an encounter with the setting, the things that attracts people is other people and the life and activity that they bring. The most used sitting places are generally adjacent to the pedestrian flow, allowing observers to watch people while avoiding eye contact. Opportunities for passive
URBANISM ALONG THE BRIDGE
Page 98
Chapter 5- URBAN DIMENSIONS engagement are also provided by fountains, views, public art, performances, and so forth. ACTIVE ENGAGEMENTActive engagement involves a more direct experience with a place and the people within it. people find sufficient satisfaction in people-watching, others desire more direct contact, whether with friends, family or strangers. Although urban designers may imagine otherwise, the simple proximity of people does not mean spontaneous interaction. public spaces were 'not ideal places' for 'striking up acquaintances', and that, even in the most sociable of them, there was 'not much mingling'. The coincidence of people in space and time does, nevertheless, provide opportunities for contact and social interaction. In his discussion of how the design of public Street entertainment can enhance the animation and vitality of public spaces alone and being together' and suggests a scale of 'intensity of contact' ranging from 'close friendships' to 'friends', 'acquaintances', 'chance contacts' and ·'passive contacts'. If activity in the spaces between buildings is missing, then the lower end of this contact scale also disappears: 'The boundaries between isolation and contact become sharper. Public art helps the process of triangulation in public space, particular interest with regard to how people use public spaces. such spaces appeared little used, apparently failing to justify the extra Floorscape given to developers as part of the city's incentive zoning regulations. When a place was crowded, people sat where they could rather than where they most wanted to. Later, some parts emptied while others continued to be used. He also found that most spaces contained well-defined sub places - often around the edge - where people preferred to be, and arranged to meet. the most sociable spaces usually possessed the following features: A good location, preferably on a busy route and both physically and visually accessible. Streets being part of the 'social' space - fencing off a space from the street isolated it and reduced its use. URBANISM ALONG THE BRIDGE

Chapter 5- URBAN DIMENSIONS Being level or almost level with the pavement (spaces significantly above or below this were less used). Places to sit - both integral (e.g., steps, low walls); and explicit (e.g. benches, seats, etc.). Movable seats, enabling choice, and the communication of character and personality. Less important factors included sun ' penetration, the aesthetics of the space (what mattered was how people used it), and the shape and size of spaces. MOVEMENTMovement through public space is at the heart of the urban experience, an important factor in generating life and activity To design successful public spaces, it is essential to understand movement, especially that of pedestrians; however, origin-destination studies, used to trace car movement, are less appropriate for pedestrian movement. public space are both at the heart of the urban experience and important factors in generating life and activity destination are preferred (i.e. a 'park once' strategy). permeability, is important in determining movement densities and encounter rates. PUBLIC PLACES Urban Spaces densities is due to the influence that natural movement has had on the evolution of urban patterns and distribution of land uses. land-use pattern derives from that of natural movement, rather than - as might intuitively be expected - the other way round. The key quality with respect to pedestrian use of public spaces is their 'connectedness'. between 'the natural paths which cross a public square there should be something to stand roughly in the middle: a fountain, a tree, a statue, a clock-tower with seats, a windmill, a bandstand. the space, should be partly protected from the weather (e.g. by an arcade), then both the prospect and the potential for people-watching are enhanced Building facades should be designed so that buildings reach out to the street and offer an 'active' frontage onto public space, adding interest and vitality to the public realm. As windows and doorways suggest a human presence, the more doors and windows onto public space the better. The interface needs to enable indoor and 'private' activities to exist in close physical proximity with outdoor and 'public' URBANISM ALONG THE BRIDGE
Page 100
Chapter 5- URBAN DIMENSIONS ones. Views into buildings provide interest to passers-by, while views output 'eyes on the street' and contribute to its safety. The number of doors/entrances generating activity directly visible from public space is a good indicator of the potential for street life. The public edge of buildings should also house activities that benefit from interaction with the public realm and contribute to vitality there. discussed the 'osmotic' properties of streets: the way activities within buildings percolate through and infuse the street with life. Some land uses have very little relation to people in the street, while others involve and engage people. The edge of the public space network provides the interface between public and private realms and needs to both enable interaction and protect privacy. the public/private interface, all developments should have a 'front' onto public space. In terms of layout, the public fronts should face onto other fronts and onto public space, while the private 'backs' should face onto private space and other backs. Used consistently, such a strategy reduces the need for blank walls (i.e. instances where private uses front onto public space).
5.4VISUAL DIMENSIONSAesthetic appreciation of the urban setting is primarily visual and kinaesthetic (i.e. involving awareness of movement of all elements of the body). Experiencing urban environments not withstanding involves all our senses and in some things, hearing, smelling and some thesis will be a lot of necessary than vision. spaces that we have a tendency to are planning, the smells that may be given off by the materials or the activities that will crop up there, the tactile expertise that they will arouse.'

Chapter 5- URBAN DIMENSIONS personal component, aesthetic appreciation conjointly has socially and culturally learnt elements that transcend simple expressions of individual style. The attributes translate into a series of terribly generalized preferences: NATURALNESS: environments that are natural or where there's a predominance of natural over built components. UPKEEP/CIVILITIES: environments that seem to be taken care of and cared for. Openness and outlined space: the mixing of defined open house with panoramas and vistas of pleasant components. HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE/CONTENT: environments that provoke favourable associations. ORDER: in terms of organization, coherence, congruity, legibility, clarity PATTERNS AND AESTHETIC ORDER As we have a tendency to invariably expertise the 'whole' instead of any single half in isolation, we have a tendency to appreciate environments as ensembles. to form them a lot of ordered, visually coherent and harmonious, however, we select and opt for some options. form psychologists have argued that aesthetic order and coherence comes from the grouping and recognition of patterns, which to form environments a lot of coherent visually we have a tendency to use principles of organization. ' Some elementary 'factors of coherence' or principles of grouping are known. As pure things are rare, in most environments many principles acquire play simultaneously, though typically one principle is dominant.
our intuitive capability for aesthetic appreciation has four distinct elements that transcend time and culture:
SENSE OF RHYME AND PATTERN: Rhyme involves some similarity within the components, and presupposes the coincidental existence of complexness and patterns. Over time, because the mind 'organizes' and is sensible of the data, the patterns become a lot of dominant, in subtle ways. these rhyme patterns comprise a system within which there is 'substantial affinity' instead of 'point to point correspondence'.

APPRECIATION OF RHYTHM: Differing from rhyme, rhythm depends for its impact on a stricter, The visual dimension one repetition. Visual pleasure, for instance, derives from lilting components variable from the simple binary kind to a lot of complicated continual subsystems. Rhythm is produced by the grouping of components to create stress, interval, accent and/or direction, etc. To avoid monotony, contrast and selection are essential in achieving interesting rhythms.
RECOGNITION OF BALANCE: whereas we are able to typically conceive visual 'balance', it's troublesome to define exactly. Balance may be a type of order generally associated with 'harmony' among the parts of a visible scene or setting. It can also be recognized in scenes that are complicated and ostensibly chaotic - in some cases, it is rarely forthwith obvious and should solely become apparent over time. suggests that a serious attraction of historic cities is that the discovery of views wherever everything

SENSITIVITY TO HARMONIC RELATIONSHIPS: Harmony concerns the relationships between totally different parts, and the way they match along to create a coherent whole. sure relationships, such as those of the golden mean, conjointly contribute to the quality of harmony. URBANISM ALONG THE BRIDGE

HARD AND SOFT LANDSCAPING With
a
narrower which
means than
'landscape',
'landscaping' is
employed here instead of 'landscape' because of its a lot of restricted visual connotations. Landscaping is usually associate afterthought in urban design one thing to be supplementary if the budget allows and once the most important choices are taken, to cover poor quality architecture or as a way of filling left-over area. whereas well-designed landscaping adds quality, visual interest and colour, poorly designed landscaping detracts from otherwise well-designed developments. The 'greening' of towns and cities represents a key property objective. Trees and different vegetation may be particularly effective in reducing greenhouse emission build-up and restoring oxygen; reducing wind speeds in urban areas; acting as shelterbelts; and filtering dirt and pollution. A positive approach to landscaping is thus required, during which its contribution to the totality of the urban setting is taken into account. Hence, landscape style strategies ought to be developed before or in parallel with the building style method associated play an important part in visual dimension.

determined by the materials used (e.g. brick, stone slabs, cobbles, concrete, macadam), the means they're used, and the way they interrelate with different materials and landscape options. border detail is important in visually linking with the facades defining the area, aiding the transition from the horizontal to the vertical plane.
Requiring

Chapter 5- URBAN DIMENSIONS surfaces offer sturdy directional qualities. Directional paving might also have a strictly aesthetic performs, being employed merely to bolster a linear type and therefore enhance the sense of movement. Floorscape may be expressly designed to enhance the aesthetic character of an area - for example, introducing scale (both human and generic), modulating the area by organizing it into a series of gradable components, reinforcing existing character, or esthetical organizing and unifying it. a way of scale in floorscape will derive from the size of the materials used, from the patterning of various materials, or from a mixture of each.

Floorscape may be enriched by repetition and ringing explicit motifs or themes, by emphasizing changes of materials, associated/or by dramatizing the sting of an area. the scale of the area is modulated and humanized by a straightforward grid of white travertine and black basalt. Floorscape patterns will reinforce the linear character of a street, emphasizing its character as a 'path' by providing a way of direction with a visually dynamic pattern. as an alternative, they will check the flow of area by emphasizing its character as a 'place', or by suggesting a sense of repose with a visually static or contained pattern.
Floorscape's designed to produce a way of repose are typically related to areas wherever people stop and rest. The floorscape pattern of squares will perform variety of functions: providing a way of scale; unifying the space by linking and relating the centre and edges; and transversal order to what would possibly preferably be a disparate cluster of buildings. within the latter case, a strong and easy geometric figure (rectangle, circle or oval) would possibly organize the centre of the space, allowing the irregular line of close buildings to make localized relations.

a sense of 'mystery' or 'intrigue'. as an easy urban area becomes a lot of complexes, there's a danger of it perceptually calling it off into a disjointed series of separate areas A dominant abstraction volume helps establish a spotlight for the composition, the smaller subspaces being unable to contend with the foremost space. or else, the areas can be unionized on an axis, or by one dominant building.
STREETS AND SQUARES Although positive urban areas are available in a spread of different sizes and shapes, there are 2 main types: 'streets' (roads, paths, avenues, lanes, boulevards, alleys, malls, etc.) and 'squares' (plazas, circuses, piazzas, places, courts, etc.). in theory, streets are 'dynamic' areas with a way of movement, whereas squares area unit static areas with less sense of movement. Width length ratios facilitate distinguish between 'street' spaces and 'square' areas.
Streets and squares is defined as either 'formal' or 'informal'. Formal spaces generally have a
powerful sense
of
enclosure;
orderly
Floorscape’s
and
arrangement of street furniture; close buildings that enhance the formal city; and infrequently a symmetrical layout. Informal squares generally have a a lot of relaxed character, a wide variety of close design, and an asymmetric layout. Neither is essentially a lot of appropriate than the opposite. an exact geometrical discipline to an area is, however, less ambiguous.
A 'square' typically refers to a locality framed by buildings. Distinction ought to be created between squares primarily designed for grandeur and to exhibit a particular building, and people designed as 'people places'. This distinction isn't absolute: several public areas operate as each, although if we tend to decide URBANISM ALONG THE BRIDGE

Chapter 5- URBAN DIMENSIONS one kind in terms of the opposite, difficulties might arise. areas designed to point out off a selected building or certainly civic functions.
STREETS AREAunit linear three-dimensional areas enclosed on opposite sides by buildings. They may or might not contain roads. a 'street' is distinct from a 'road': the first purpose of the latter being a road for vehicular traffic. Street kind is analysed in terms of polar qualities, the mixture of that gives scope for excellent diversity: visually dynamic or static; fogbound or open; long or short; wide or narrow; straight or curved; and with relation to the formality or informality of the bailiwick treatment. to those can be value-added concerns such as scale, proportion, bailiwick rhythm, and connections to alternative streets and squares.
URBAN SQUARESwherever the degree and nature of enclosure typically provides a visually static character - most streets area unit visually dynamic, with a strong sense of movement. As horizontal lines area unit visually quicker than vertical lines, the character of streets (as of squares) is changed to form them a lot of or less dynamic.
TOWNSCAPEAs well like the abstraction properties and qualities of streets and squares, urban designers are concerned with their affiliation to make social space and movement systems. the general public area network creates a series of townscape effects, involving, as
an example,
changing
views and
vistas;
the interaction of
landmarks, visual incidents and style features; and changes and contrasts of enclosure.

Chapter 5- URBAN DIMENSIONS 5.5FUNCTIONAL-DIMENSIONSpeople and space an understanding of the connection between folks ('society') and their atmosphere ('space') is crucial in urban style. the primary plan to be thought-about here is that of fine arts or environmental philosophical doctrine, where the claim is that the physical atmosphere has a determinative influence on human behaviour. By negating the role of human agency, it assumes that environment -people interaction could be a unidirectional method.
People aren't passive,
however;
they
influence
and
change
the
atmosphere, because it influences and changes them. It is, therefore, a two-way method. While physical factors square measure neither the exclusive nor necessarily the dominant influence on behaviour, environmental opportunities clearly have an effect on what people will and can't do: a window in associate degree otherwise solid wall permits one to ascertain out, whereas an eternal wall doesn't afford that chance. Human behaviour is so inherently 'situational': it's embedded in physical - and additionally in 'social', 'cultural' and 'perceptual' contexts and settings.
THE PUBLIC REALMFrequently induced in discussions of urban style, the 'public realm' - and therefore the connected and
overlap
ping conception of
'public
life'
- need any
consideration. 'Public' should be understood via a 'private'. 'Public life involves comparatively open and universal social contexts, in distinction to personal life, that is intimate, familiar, shielded, controlled by the individual, and shared solely with family and friends.' The public realm has 'physical' (space) and 'social' (activity) dimensions. The physical public realm is known here to mean the areas and settings - in public or in private closely-held that support or facilitate public life and social interaction. The activities and events occurring in those spaces and settings may be termed the mental object public realm.

The second and third of those dimensions square measure mentioned later; the primary needs any rationalization here.
the general public realm includes all the spaces accessible to and employed by the general public, including: External public space: items of land that lie between personal landholdings.
In urban areas, these square measure public squares, streets, highways, parks, parking tons, etc., and in rural areas they are stretches of outline, forests, lakes, rivers, etc. Accessible to any or all, these areas represent public house in its purest type internal 'public' space: public establishments like libraries, museums, town halls, etc., and public transport facilities like train or bus stations, airports, etc.

This class additionally includes what are normally delineated as 'privatized' (often but not solely external) public areas.

7.1-RIVER REGULATION ZONE The original 2000 policy was modified through a government resolution (gr) 2009 wherein non-polluting industries were allowed in no development zone and some activities like hotels, resorts, etc. Were allowed in a1 stretch of the river. It laid guidelines about treating all domestic waste by local bodies and that the stps should be located 100 mts away from the flood line, while solid waste management facility had to be sited 500 mts away from the flood line for municipal corporations. The 2009 gr also set up a rrz committee with secretaries of departments like environment, industry, urban development, water resources, Maharashtra pollution control board, etc., with director, env department as the member secretary. Maharashtra is the first State in the country to have such a policy and this was seen as a progressive step in the otherwise depressing scene of water management in Maharashtra. Draft river conservation zone (regulation of harmful activities) rules, 2012 mankind originated and prospered in river valleys. Rivers are unique and dynamic ecosystems. They have provided key ecological, social, religious and economic services to mankind for ages, but many of these are now compromised due to threats resulting from a number of human activities. These activities can be broadly categorized as being ‘polluting’ of river water and land; ‘destructive’ of river morphology or its biota; ‘extractive’ of river’s living and non living components and ‘drying’ of river systems. A number of orders issued by various courts have drawn the attention of the government to the plight of the rivers and their dependent people. United nations of which India is a party has on 26 July 2010 resolved unanimously to declare “right to safe and clean drinking water and sanitation as a human right”. Healthy rivers, it may be recalled, are essential to a realization of the said obligation by India as a party to the un this notification deriving its statutory mandate from section 3, 5 and 6 of the environment (protection) act, 1986 seeks to regulate such activities that are found to be

No development zone: the competent authority shall determine a ndz on either bank for each river which shall not be less than the “active flood plain” of the river. High & medium impact zones: the competent authority shall identify and designate suitable distance/s, from the ndz, on either bank keeping local topographical conditions in mind, to be called as high impact and medium impact zones (hiz and miz).

7.2.0BACKGROUND Major ecosystem challenges faced by almost all the Indian Rivers are encroachment; wastewater disposal; solid waste disposal, ingress of fertilizers/ pesticides as runoff. These inputs temporarily vary due to festive celebrations, seasons and human development activities. The intent therefore, in formulating these guidelines is to encourage an ecosystem-based development approach that not only takes into consideration the environmental impacts of urbanization URBANISM ALONG THE BRIDGE
Page 168
Chapter 7- RIVER REGULATION BYELAWS but also ensures enhancement of the river’s inherent eco-service providing potential. The development paradigm for a city on the banks of a river needs a different way of use of river and respect for its functionality. 7.2.1OBJECTIVES The issues and / or objectives expected to be addressed through the application of these directives are as follows: Environmental aspects of urbanization - Increase in pollution loads in the River Prevention of risks due to flooding Appropriate zoning of land-use and other development activities within and in proximity of the floodplain. Prevention of aquifer contamination. Make river a system which sustains humans and other ecosystems. The Outcome is expected to be a tool to assist in formulating advice to planning authorities on development rules or future vision of the city. 7.2.3FLOOD PLAIN MANAGEMENT AND PLANNING DEFINING THE "FLOODPLAIN" AND RELATED TERMS The floodway is the channel of a river or stream and the overbank areas that must remain open to carry the deeper, faster moving water during a flood. No development is permissible in the Floodway zone. The floodway fringe is the adjoining area which also has the probability of inundation in case of heavy rains. It could have restricted land-use permissibility and development based along flood protection guidelines such as not to obstruct flood flows. An “encroachment” is any floodplain development that could obstruct flood flows, such as fill, a bridge, or a building. The floodway and the flood fringe together comprise the 100-year floodplain.

7.2.4ENVIRONMENTAL STATUS OF GODAVARI RIVER "A floodplain or flood plain is an area of land adjacent to a stream or river that stretches from the banks of its channel to the base of the enclosing valley walls and experiences flooding during periods of high discharge. “It is the area of lowlying ground adjacent to a river, formed mainly of river sediments and susceptible to inundation by the 100year flood as indicated in The Floodplain inclusive of the ecological buffer to the development beyond must be the Administratively Regulated area with stringent development guidelines and monitoring thereof.
The floodplain as delineated on GIS maps and as illustrated in the figure above, is not a symmetrical area around River but would follow the site features. Therefore, the proposed development needs to be assessed at site to ensure there would be no encroachment. The relationship between recurrence interval and probability of area under inundation, though not accurate is estimable.

Chapter 7- RIVER REGULATION BYELAWS 7.2.8100 YEAR FLOODWAY OR "NO-DEVELOPMENT" ZONE The floodway, is subject to high variability of impacts due to climate change. Left natural, it serves as an extended drainage area protecting from risks due to flooding. Development, in form of built structures or any kind of impermeable cover like concretization in the form or roads or pathways is not permissible within the 100year floodway boundary. 7.2.9GENERAL PROHIBITIONS FOR THIS ZONE Extensive vegetation clearing and levelling of the River bed Extensive landscaping No earthworks should be allowed within the buffer zone of any development Land reclamation No backfilling should be allowed in the 1:50 year flood line No development should be allowed in the 1:50 year flood line Interceptor sewers as it leads to high pollution potential. 7.2.10PERMISSIBLE DEVELOPMENT AND ACTIVITIES Maintaining ecological integrity of this area is the main goal for developmental planning groups of city or region. Minimum width of around 10mts along the edge of the river must be developed as ecological buffers like a Riparian Edge which would assist in restoring the aquatic and geo-morphological processes. This would provide continuous corridors and habitat for flora and fauna. Buffer is expected to provide other benefits such as water quality improvement of point or diffuse sources of pollution, stream bank and erosion protection from the hydrological impacts. This would additionally provide socio-economic benefits in the form of opportunities for environmental education / awareness. The visual enhancement of waterway would increase the property values of adjoining development. Pedestrian pathways planned herein for maintenance access may be created out of natural or biodegradable materials ensuring that they are largely permeable.

7.2.11 100 YEAR FLOOD FRINGE AREA Land adjacent to streams is usually sought after by developers for high-density developments or business developments. In order to gain more valuable land for development it is common practice to modify the floodplain by filling it up, thereby either creating artificially steep stream banks of highly erodible material or finally converting the natural stream into a drainage channel. 7.2.12PROHIBITIONS The Flood fringe area should not be modified to increase the development area No backfilling should be allowed in the Flood fringe area and/or 1:50- year flood line. No concrete channelling of rivers should be permitted merely to accommodate a development proposal. Increased property rights of existing owners to the remaining area that could be developed should be investigated. Engineering efforts to reduce flooding - such as levees, concrete channels, damming and piping should not be allowed. High rise, high density residential development or commercial or industrial development is not to be permitted. Multiple ownership for land resulting in plot sub-divisioning is to be avoided. Urban Agriculture plots, the use of pesticides is to be banned in this region. 7.2.13RECOMMENDED DEVELOPMENT APPROACH 1. 0mt to 10mts from the flood fringe line: The land may be developed for Urban agriculture; Urban forestry; soft landscaped public garden and the likes. 2. Cycling tracks & pedestrian pathways as access ways must be permeable allowing water infiltration for ground aquifer re-charge. 3. Identified groundwater recharge zones should preferably not be developed, or be appropriately developed to allow for the infiltration of water.

The most suitable terrain conditions for urban development is surface gradient with slope less than 12 degrees. This can be developed with less effect on erosion. Areas with a high erosion potential should be developed at lower densities, with more permeable surfaces. 7. A plotted development would be permissible, no hard division of land with compound walls would be permissible 8. The layout plan should make provision for an appropriate level of on - site sanitation treatment system. 9. Single houses and low-density residential development may be permitted provided the development impact is estimated not to increase the water level more than 1 fit 300mm above the base flood elevation level. The impact assessment is to take into account the cumulative impact of both the built structures as well as roads and/or any even other landscaped impermeable ground cover like paving. 10. Buildings must be located above the appropriate flood level on the upper extremities of the property and must front or provide views onto the watercourse to ensure adequate visual surveillance and integration of the system into the fabric of the development and the City as a whole. 11. Where maintenance access is required for the River front, this must also be incorporated in the Sale Contract of the Owner. 12. All built structures if unavoidable must be on stilts allowing free flow of water below and around the structures. The structures should be designed along the Flood protection guidelines.

Chapter 7- RIVER REGULATION BYELAWS 13. Perimeter fencing & landscape features must be visually permeable from ground level allowing the free flow of water and movement of aquatic fauna in flood events (e.g., Storm water drainage; fish ladder & palisade fencing). 14. For Floodplains with base flood elevations being provided, but no defined floodway: When the flood hazard map designates base flood elevations (100year flood heights) but no floodway is delineated, the cumulative effect of the proposed development, when combined with all other existing and anticipated floodplain development, must demonstrate it would not increase the water surface elevation of the 100-year flood more than one foot (300mm) at any location. 7.2.14DEVELOPMENT BEYOND THE 100 YEAR RIVER FLOODPLAIN PREVENTION OF GROUND WATER AQUIFER POLLUTION The following activities can pollute the groundwater and special precautionary measures should be taken with regard to their locationo landfills discharge leachate that may contain organic compounds (residential garbage) or trace elements like zinc, chromium and lead (industrial landfills). o some urban storm water runoff infiltrates the water table and contaminates the groundwater. o spills and leakages of petroleum products (petrol and diesel storage tanks) are known sources of groundwater and soil pollution. Treated City sewer soak away drain fields may be located at a minimum distance 10 mts to 15 mts from the floodplain Temporary septic tank treated intermittent sewer manhole location may be permitted at minimum distance of 10mts from the flood line fringe as delimitated on the flood hazard map of the area. Nashik municipal corporation should upgrade and maintain all the septic tanks and overflow should go to the sewer system. all the catchment should be upgraded near the Godavari region. the conventional wastewater treatment plant- a buffer of 30mts is to be maintained from the flood fringe line or a 10 year recurrent flood line.
URBANISM ALONG THE BRIDGE
Page 176
Chapter 7- RIVER REGULATION BYELAWS ground water extraction bore wells and wells ought to be planned at min separation distance of 200mts from the flood line. liquid effluents discharge is to be located 50mts away from wells and bore wells applying water for domestic use and away from the flood fringe line. solid waste and animal waste disposal-to be located 500mts away from the flood fringe line. roads and parking's should be provided with bio swale and rain gardens.
Combined sewer + storm water systems with poor construction and maintenance of sewers result in storm water runoff infiltrating the System during rain events. This overloads the System, with resultant overflow of sewerage effluent onto the land surface and potential “flooding” of the wastewater treatment works by excessive inflow. It is recommended that there must be separate storm water and sewer line, however there is a need to study the whole storm and sewer network integration through proper simulation and modelling for future development.

Chapter 7- RIVER REGULATION BYELAWS
TREATED WASTEWATER DISCHARGE INTO RIVER 3D Modelling carried out for determining the average velocity of river flow across the stream section shows that velocity of flow is highest at top. Hence, the outfall line of discharge be above surface water level thus avoiding stagnation of pollutants in the stream stretch. Disposal line should not be near the bank of river.

GROUNDWATER AQUIFER RECHARGE It is recommended that contemporary approach towards Water Sensitive Urban Design be adopted for all development beyond floodplain level. This would hugely decrease loads on the floodplains and the River in turn.
RECOMMENDED LAND-USES, SETBACKS AND SEPARATION DISTANCES Setback distances are provided from water bodies (both above and below ground) to prevent pollution Buffer distances for waste landfill operations are provided to prevent problems of litter, water pollution Buffers or separation distances are not an alternative to source control and cleaner production methods. They are a means of reducing the effects of residual emissions The distances quoted in the document should not be adopted as absolute criteria, but URBANISM ALONG THE BRIDGE

Close to Kalaram temple their square measure some terribly previous and lofty banyan trees that square measure believed to be sprung from 5 banyans that gave its name to Panchvati. The name ‘Panchvati’ comes from the words Panch which implies 5 and Vati which implies Ficus bengalensis. this is often the location wherever Sita’s Cave

network which has observed 3 for Panchavati division. Higher the Alpha index shows greater degree of connectivity within the network but for Panchavati division it has observed only 13% which show low degree of connectivity. For the study division the Beta index is 1.14 it means that the Panchavati division has high connected by road network. Gamma index describes connectivity of networks in percent which has observed 44.44% which show quite well connectivity. If value of pi index is more than 2 then given road network is well connected, for Panchavati division it has observed 3.24, which shows high connectivity but E.T.A. index observed 2.22 km / Nos, which has shown high connectivity. It has observed that the detour has found more than 100.00, it means that these places have affected by relief barriers, the route Makhamlabad Naka to R.T.O has less detour index i.e., 148.00 URBANISM ALONG THE BRIDGE
Page 184
Chapter 8- SITE STUDY AND ANALYSIS so it has less effect of relief barrier but the route Meri-Mhasrul to Hirawadi has more detour index i.e.278.33 so it has more effect of relief barriers. The Shimbel index can be derived from the shortest-path matrix in the study division. The Nimani bus stand has lowest Shimbel index, and the associated number is 3, so it is most accessible node than the other nodes. The highest associated number 5 has observed for Amrutdham and Ramkund where accessibility has found low. For the Panchavati division the mean associated number is 54/14=3.85.

In Nashik Municipal Corporation area a comprehensive storm water drainage system available. The ground slopes are steep in certain areas (Panchavati area), especially near the Godavari and its tributaries. The average low-lying ground level is 569 m. and the highest ground elevation is at 700 m. The old city is located at low-lying areas while the developed areas are mostly on higher grounds. There are 3 main River basins in the study area as under, The Godavari River flows west to East across approx. 18km. through central area of the city. Nearly 8 nallas meet the river Godavari in this stretch.

Chapter 8- SITE STUDY AND ANALYSIS The river Nasardi also flows west to east and joins the Godavari on the south bank at Takli. The river Darna flows at the South – Eastern boundary of the study area, and its tributary Valdevi flows from the North – West to South – East and
meets it near Chehedi. The Nasardi, Darna and Waldevi (which meets Darna River) are the tributaries of river Godavari. The drainage pattern lies within the respective ridges of the catchment area. (CDP of Nashik) The inverted ‘S’ shaped river valley has influenced the development of Nashik. Core area is situated on the Right Bank of the river, while Panchvati, a traditional settlement is on the left bank of the Godavari River. So, the Godavari River has divided the earlier settlement. The city is situated in the area between the Godavari and Nasardi River, which was a well defensive site in the olden days, marked by the Godavari and other numerous streamlets.

In some flows the basalts is columnar then it weathers into the amazing shapes. The formation at the bottom of the traps is primarily amygdale form, containing quarry in vertical veins, crystals and mineral , particularly apophyllite weathering into a grease soil. The absence of soil, that caps the summits of the south, could be a curious feature within the space of earth science. The volcanic rock isn't solely penalized unsmooth however conjointly course and nodular. the soil valleys square measure crammed with disintegrated volcanic rock of assorted shades from Gray to black, washed down by rain it's of clayey nature. This soil is not favourable for the expansion of enormous trees however it's terribly fertile for cereals and pulse. The black soil contains high corundum and carbonates of metal and magnesium with variable amounts of hydrated oxide, low element and phosphorus. The red soil is RSS common and is appropriate for cultivation beneath an important and consistent rainfall. usually, deep black soil is found within the study region however older alluvia soil with deep cowl has been discovered in Godavari natural depression.

The Godavari watercourse encompasses a fan like evacuation pattern; the low gradient of the Godavari watercourse developed on a volcanic rock surface has introduced meanders and sediment banks and potholes. The banks have erosion and depositional options. The tributaries of the Godavari worn the land to achieve the bottom level of the thirty-three main stream and have graven out their courses, let alone the intermediate parts as mounds, and their square measure 9 hills (Teaks) then, Nashik has associate degree undulating topography. The 9 hillocks apparently attracted settlement thanks to the seasonal floods of Godavari and locational holiness. These hills at the moment square measure troublesome to trace as a result of the in filling of hollows and depressions by mud. These hills of Nashik were referred to as Teaks.
