3.1 Reservations

Nagpur Town planning is a 1730 acre project , Bhandara road (National highway – 6) runs on the south western edge of the project boundary. One of the regional major agriculture produce market at Kalamna is on the eastern side along with Kalamna railway station and goods yard. The Nag River and Pioli River passes through the identified project area & forms confluence point on north eastern part. The area based development is envisioned to be carried out through TP Scheme. The Identified TP Scheme project area consists of four different villages such as Punapur, Bharatwada and parts of Pardi and Bhandewadi. Majority of the area comes under no development zone and part of it is under residential, commercial and industrial zone

3.2 Integrating different drafting platforms

3.3 Result

The NSSCDCL team faced several challenges in determining whether the plot owners’ land would be affected by proposed roads or lie within a reservation area. There was a need for an integrated means of helping plot owners identify changes in their plot area and locality. the other use included live location and spatial location of reservation superimposition to make the surveying job easier. To address this issue, the task of converting an AutoCAD plan to a GIS was taken on. The plan is intended to be useful in the event of a live surveWWying process, as well as for the plot owners’ inquiries. The created file was then imported into Google Earth to achieve the desired result. During the evacuation of the ‘ittanagri’ area, the generated Kml file was used for area calculation and reservation identification. Plot owners who want to know if their plot is subject to any kind of reservation can also get the inquiry result by superimposing with the Khasra no. For personalised use, the file can also be used with applications such as Google My Maps, Mapbox, and others.

The Nurturing Neighbourhoods Challenge is hosted by the Smart Cities Mission, Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs, Government of India, in collaboration with the Bernard van Leer Foundation and with the technical support of WRI India. The Challenge aims to incorporate a focus on early childhood development (0-5-yearold children) in the planning and management of Indian cities. The Nurturing Neighbourhoods Challenge aims to incorporate early childhood development (0-5 years old children) into Indian city planning and management. The Nurturing Neighbourhoods Challenge is a three-year effort that intends to pilot and scale strategies to improve public space, mobility, neighborhood design, access to early children services and amenities, and data management across city agencies with Indian cities and their partners. It will also create a platform for city-to-city learning and sharing of best practices.

14 P2 Nurturing Neighborhood Challenge

•

The COVID-19 pandemic emphasizes the significance of the neighbourhood as a social gathering place. Indeed, the creation of child-friendly places that welcome the very young and their mothers/caregivers should be prioritized in urban planning initiatives.

•

Appropriate nutrition, learning opportunities, caring care from caregivers, and a safe environment are all necessary for healthy brain development of a child.

•

In the early years, access to natural green spaces and other safe and stimulating surroundings with chances to play and learn, in order to better nurture and support the child. As a result, the kid will have better adult health outcomes, a stronger capacity to study, and a higher lifetime income.

•

One of the most efficient and comprehensive methods to enhance the urban environment for everyone is to focus on young children and their caregivers - parents, grandparents, or older siblings.

•

Efforts to improve city infrastructure to ensure safety and access by putting infants, toddlers, and caregivers at the center will not only increase usage by families with young children and make young children more likely to develop to their full potential, but will also contribute to making the city a better place for everyone.

•

Other important issues which are addressed include using traffic calming measures to fight speeding and making streets more accessible.

•

Providing facilities such as nursing cabins, gender-sensitive restrooms, shaded areas, signage, and clean drinking water in public places such as bus stops, airports, and marketplaces will assist to improve everyone’s urban experience.

•

Community playgrounds, parks, schools and their open spaces will display real-time air quality index prominently on their premises, to build awareness among children and guardians.

•

A strong mandate to improve the air quality and reduce its exposure among children, will have an important co-benefit – it will play a pivotal role in mitigation greenhouse gas emissions, and enhancing the health of its citizens.

4.4 Cognitive Mapping Nurturing Neighbourhood Challenge The need for the first phase submission of NNC was spatial data gathering, defining parameters, surveys, brochure preparation, and social media marketing. The map below was created as part of the brochure preparation process, and it includes a collage of pictures of individuals doing the survey as evidence, as well as existing infrastructure. People were engaged to conduct surveys, while the planning division assessed the infrastructure. The map is a part of large to small point of interest (POI).

4.5 PHC + Garden Proposal Plan PHC is the heart of the NNC project, where we propose several scenarios, as seen on the following page. We are planning sensory activities, shade, landscaping, and a meditation sitting arrangement for the garden in front of PHC. There is also an ECD next to the garden, therefore we proposed a colourful paved walkway linking the two. The front portion above the garden will be temporarily linked using semi-permanent barriers. According to the plans, amenities to be offered include a water basin, a water cooler, seats, a roof, ramps for caregivers, and overall an interesting atmosphere.

Thermal comfort

Adequate lightining

Universally accesible ramps

Welcoming Entrance

Seating at at multiple levels

Bollards to block vehicles

The firsts proposal is more vibrant and expensive, also most of the proposals are children oriented. the interventions make the place more intresting visually and physically. Special emphasis is given for flooring that is not permeable and the material is soft, where the childrens wont have the risk of getting hurt. the open space in Front of PHC is used for vehicle parking, to avoid that bollards have been prepared to reclaim the area as common place.

Bollards to block vehicles

The proposal is cheap as compared to above proposal, and is more practical as teh coloured flooring may make increase the project estimate. the bollards and seating arrangements are same, with tensile roofing instead of a pergola. the bollards are used as seegregation instead of honeyvomb structured walls

6. Project Attractive, Public Realm and Public Art installation The Project’s goal is to prepare a public ranch for public attraction in a significant public domain. It should be both visually appealing and functional. Stage one comprised the finalisation of the structure, which was completed after several iterations and 3D visualisations. Following that was the location finalisation, which employed a checklist to separate prime locations. Finally, the decision was made based on the structure’s availability of space, its ability to attract people on a scale of 1 to 10, and parking space. As a result of the addition of a few gardens of various zones, the project piqued the interest of politicians. The project is presently in its last stages; the structure is being built, and the site will be finalized as soon as the new CEO arrives. The entire cost of the project is close to 60 lacks, which will be funded by NMC, garden licence is granted by NIT, and implementation will be performed by NSSCDCL. Many site visits were made to evaluate the site location, and I, along with architect Amit Shirpurkar, was in charge of separating good spots and paperwork. The most interesting aspect of the project was learning about the zones inside the city; while the city is comprised of one zone, each zone stands alone owing to political power. The zone was supposed to provide for more flexibility in administration and physical planning, but it hasn’t looked that way.

7. Internship Experience I worked at NSSCDCL as an intern as part of my undergraduate curriculum during the summer, where I was exposed to a variety of projects, including the nurturing neighbourhood, streets for people, and Town Planning scheme. I also got the chance to attend stakeholder meetings for smart city challenges and give a presentation on nurturing neighbourhoods to (WRI, UNICEF, ESAF) for tactical design interventions, which were well received. Overall, the experience was fantastic, and it offered me a look into how a project begins and progresses in the face of opposition or support from individuals and stakeholders. For me, seeing how political pressure affects the design process or location was a first-hand experience, but seeing how a planner handles this pressure was an intriguing watch since it was not the only variable. NSSCDCL presented me with an excellent platform for demonstrating my visual talents and analytical thinking process, as well as learning the distinction between what we display and what we accomplish During my training, I learned a lot about self-improvement and performance. There is a lot to learn, from technical to soft skills. In terms of technical skills, I spent more time working on GIS software and AutoCAD, as well as researching new presenting tools for mapping and ppt presentations. Moving around for site visits for the Public realm art installation project, the neighbourhood site project, and the streets for people challenge site was also a fantastic chance to network with people and gain a thorough understanding of the project. Finally, ethics and professionalism are considerably more important to me than any other skills I have learned. I believe NSSCDCL training has transformed me into a better person than I was before.

7.1 Collage: The collage is a combination of different important Brochure preparation activity for ministry and the development of the TPS scheme. Brochures are required for several tasks under the Smart City Mission; I was in charge of social media management and the creation of brochures for the Cycle4Change challenge, the Streets4People challenge, and the Nurturing Neighborhood initiative. I was asked to produce a brief two-page ppt for the board of directors meeting to introduce the plan which is as shown below.
