FUTURE PROPOSALS
DWARKA HAS VERY GOOD CONNECTIVITY, COMMUNITY SPACES, INCLUDING GREENS AND SPORTS COMPLEXES. IT CAN SERVE AS THE COMMUNITY HUB FOR ALL THE UNPLANNED RESIDENTIAL AREAS AROUND.
SO FAR, THE NALLAH HAS FUNCTIONED AS A DIVIDER IN TERMS OF DEVELOPMENT; ITS ROLE NEEDS TO BE THAT OF THE INTEGRATOR IN FUTURE DEVELOPMENT.
PRESENCE OF NEITHER GREEN SPACES NOR VEGETATION IN UNPLANNED MOHAN GARDEN AND UTTAM GARDEN EXCEPT FOR TRACES OF GREEN AT TWO POINTS ON THE CENTRAL FLAT TERRAIN.

LACK OF CONNECTIVITY BETWEEN EITHR SIDE OF THE NALLAH – HEAVY TRAFFIC JAMS AT THE SINGLE WAY BRIFGE SHOWN IN THE DWG – CHECK PHOTO FOR CLEAR PICTURE
DWARKA HAS HUGE WIDE OPEN ROADS WHICH ARE TERRIBLY UNSAFE AT NIGHT, CONSIDERING THE SCALE HUGE SCALE OF ROADS MAKE GREEN COVER OVER ROADS VERY LITTLE, THUS, ROAD TRANSPORT IS ALWAYS TIRING UNLESS YOU HAVE AN AC CAR
LACK OF GREEN SPACES IN NAJAFGARH HUGE GREEN SPACES IN DWARKA VERY UNCOMFORTABLE SCALE
BREAKING HUGE GREEN SPACES INTO SMALLER POCKETS OF GREEN MAY PROVE FRUITFUL
PALAM DRAIN FLOWS RIGHT THROUGH DWARKA – HAS HUGE POTENTIAL FOR SOCIAL, PUBLIC AND COMMERCIAL ACTIVITIES
HUGE CONTRAST IN VEGETATION ON EITHER SIDES OF THE NALLAH – KIKAR AND OTHER DRY PLANTS IN THE EASTERN SIDE AND NATURAL VEGETATION AND CULTIVATION IN THE OTHER

THE SCALE OF BUILT FORMS IN DWARKA AND NAJAFGARH IS VERY DIFFERENT
DWARKA CONSISTS OF EITHER G+10 OR G+3 BUILDINGS
NAJAFGARH IS MOSTLY G OR G+1, RARELY G+2 HUGE MOUNDS CREATED ON EITHER SIDES OF THE NALLAH, APART FROM EMBANKMENT
SCALE OF TREES IN DWARKA IS VERY SMALL, OWING TO ITS NEW DEVELOPMENT
PRESENCE OF AN ELECTRIC HIGH TENSION WIRE CUTTING ACROSS THE SITE HAS TO BE NOTED
SITE
GURU GOBIND SINGH I.P. UNIVERSITY
THE SITE, VIRTUALLY IS PENINSULAR, HAVING DRAINS ON ALL THREE SIDES WATER INTERFACE TO SITE AREA RATIO IS HUGE BECAUSE OF THESE RESONS, THIS SITE HAS A HUGE POTENTIAL FOR WATER BASED SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC ACTIVITIES. COUPLED WITH THE ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL DESPARITIES BETWEEN NAJAFGARH AND DWARKA, THE WATER CAN BE AN INTERFACE BETWEEN BOTH THE COMMUNITIES, TO GET MUTUALLY BENIFITTED
THE SITE HAS TWO DISTINCT CONTEXT ON EITHER SIDES, THE HIGHLY ORGANIZED DWARKA, SUFFICIENT IN PUBLIC SERVICES, AND THE UNORGANIZED NAJAFGARH, WITH CULTIVATION AS THE MAJOR PROFESSION.
THE SITE HAS A HIGH INTERFACE LENGTH TO WATER, SINCE IT TAKES A SHARP CURVE INSIDE THE SITE.
THE SITE IS TECHNICALLY ‘PENINSULAR’, AND HENCE, HAS A HUGE POTENTIAL FOR A WATER BASED FUNCTION.
THERE IS ALREADY A SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANT NEAR THE SITE, WITHIN 2 KM DISTANCE. THE SITE IS IN A STRATEGIC POSITION FROM THE VANTAGE POINTS OF VEGETATION, CULTURE, TRAFFIC, ECONOMIC, AND LAST BUT NOT THE LEAST, WATER.
ACCESS TO METRO STATION VERY NEAR TO THE SITE IS A HUGE ADVANTAGE FROM THE ACCESSIBILITY POINT OF VIEW
HUGE DEVELOPMENTS PLANNED BY THE GOVERNMENT FOR THE NEXT DECADE. THE WIDTH OF THE NALLAH IS OVER 100 METRES.
LACK OF CONNECTIVITIES BETWEEN BOTH THE COMMUNITIES. EXISTENCE OF HUGE CULTIVATION LANDS NEAR TO THE SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANTS HAS NOT ADDRESSED.
THE SITE IS LOW LYING AND SUSCEPTIBLE TO WATER LOGGING. ALTHOUGH HUGE DEVELOPMENTS HAVE BEEN PROPOSED IN THE FUTURE, AS OF NOW, BUS SERVICES IN DWARKA IS POOR.
HETEROGENEOUS INTRA SITE OWNERSHIP PATTERN DEMANDS CO ORDINATION BETWEEN VARIOUS DEPARTMENTS.
HUGE TRAFFIC JAMS, AND PEDESTRIAN UNFRIENDLY. THE SITE PARTIALLY COMES UNDER THE AIR FUNNEL.
WATER PLAYS A HUGE ROLES IN THE SITE, BY THE CHUNK OF ITS CONTRIBUTION IN THE FIGURES, AND HENCE, A WATER BASED FUNCTIONAL ACTIVITY AND AS WELL AS ITS IMPORTANCE WILL BE EXAGGERATED BY THE PRESENCE OF THIS NALLAH.
THE PRESENCE OF DISTINCT CONTEXTS ON EITHER SIDES OF THE SITE DEMANDS FOR INFRASTRUCTURE WHICH PROMOTES MUTUAL EXISTENCE OF BOTH THE COMMUNITIES, AND THEREBY ENHANCING THE SOLIDITY OF JUSTIFICATION FOR THE NEED OF MORE CONNECTIVITIES, BOTH VEHICULAR AND PEDESTRIAN ON BETWEEN EITHER SIDES OF THE NALLAH.
PRESENCE OF A 90 MGD SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANT IN THE VICINITY OF THE SITE PROVIDES HUGE OPPORTUNITY FOR SEWAGE TREATMENT NEAR TO THE SITE.
SINCE SITE IS PARTIALLY ALLOTTED FOR THE DEVELOPMENT FOR GURU GOBIND SINGH UNIVERSITY, UNDER IP UNIVERSITY, THERE IS TREMENDOUS SCOPE FOR THE INVOLVEMENT OF THE STUDENT COMMUNITY IN TAKING PART IN ANY OF THE COMMUNITY LEVEL WATER RELATED FUNCTIONS WHICH MIGHT BE PROPOSED.
OWNERSHIP OF THE SITE ON THE WESTERN SIDE OF THE NALLAH IS BY PRIVATE LAND OWNERS, WHICH IS A HUGE PLUS POINT IN BRINGING IN ANY DEVELOPMENTAL ACTIVITIES FOR WATER AND CULTIVATION.
MASTER PLAN 2021 PROPOSES DEVELOPMENTS, MOST OF WHICH MIGHT NOT BE IN COHERENCE WITH THE PROPOSALS.
HEAVY CONTAMINATION OF THE NALLAH HAS ALREADY BEEN DONE BEFORE IT ENTERS DELHI CITY LIMITS.
PRESENCE OF AN ELECTRIC HIGH TENSION WIRE CUTTING ACROSS THE SITE IS A MAJOR INTERFERENCE TO WATER BASED ACTIVITIES FOR SAFETY REASONS.
