Existing roads

Road directionality

Proposed Road Typology

Green/public space gained due to narrowing of roads

Newly introduced communal public streets

Road directionality

6m 3m

Reducing road widths

Change in directionality accordingly

Converting primary roads along waterway to pedestrianized communal streets

Reducing tertiary roads to one way, giving more space for public space
