Green & Biodiversity

YeLahanka

Patch Matrix

The site is a small fragment as a patch which forms the urban matrix. It exists in close proximity to green spaces like surrounding agriculture land, whose main crops are coconut and ragi, and many vacant lands, with low levels of qualities. On a larger scale, a few important green spaces come into the picture: agriculture land accounts for the largest area, around which vacant land is scattered. There is a clear distinction in development between the old and new urban areas. The red dotted line in the figure divides it into two parts: the relatively welldeveloped area to the west, and undeveloped area to the east. The Yelahanka site is part of the east area. Parks are all located in the west area, with natural ways linked with each other, and vacant land with no functions is relatively less.

Green Space Typology

21 types of green spaces are selected strategically based on the amount of density of the green spaces in Yelahanka. The green spaces represent a range of landscape typologies. The green spaces in the north of the site are large and continuous, while the green spaces in the south of the site are small and fragmented, separated by buildings and streets. Green spaces in the south are mainly residential spaces owned by the individual and commercial and reginal spaces owned by government. Most of the spaces have funtions, while spaces in the north are mainly non-functional places, apart from farmland.
