DHARAVI
Project : Masterplanning and Park design
Location: Dharavi, India
Type: Urban Design
The project was to redevelop Dharavi at a neighbourhood level to design a public space including a community park and recreation area and also a pre primary school with ample parking with redevelopment of the heritage and commercial building at a site area of 4,623 sqm to create an upliftment by the concept of placemaking.
“The vision intended for this project is to redevelop Dharavi at a neighbourhood level by implementing resident perspective planning which aims to pose as a model for the rest of Dharavi by providing better facilities by incorporating domains of intervention which contributes to the overall well-being of the community”
NEED FOR PROPOSED PRE PRIMARY SCHOOL
Since there is a lack of pre primary school in this sector of Dharavi and as per URDPFI guidelines there should be 1 pre primary or nursery school for a population of 2500 and since Dharavi is densely populated one school is provided for a population of approximately 6000 in this neighborhood.

“The vision of this project is to create a connection between the closed and open spaces by having a flow in activities and structures in the proximity by redeveloping the area by promoting human- nature interaction.”
STREET LIGHTING
Pole height + 8 metres
Distance between poles is 2.5 or 3 times the height of the pole
Therefore 8m x 2.5 = 20 metres distance between each pole.
Pole height near parking – 6m
Distance between 2 poles is 2.5or 3 times the height of pole
Therefore 6mx 2.5 = 15m.
PEDESTRIAN WALKWAY
One way road pedestrian footpath width on two sides 1.2m.
ROAD WIDTH.
One way road width – 3.6 m with 1.2m footpath on both sides
Total= 6m wide circulation area.
Dharavi main road width = 6m with additional footpath.
STORM WATER DRAIN
Storm water drain provided underneath the footpath to gather rain water and supply it to the open green space and can be reused.
Catering to a population of 6000 all around the site. The open space is considered under the housing area park category as its area is less than 5,000 sqm.
Green Area= 2,964.4 sqm
Site area- 4,622 sqm approximately.
