Approach: To bring about changes in the area by proposing minimal, yet meaningful
interventions, by selective and speciic development of land along intensively developed
zones, with a series of phase-wise design solutions, besides identifying policy control. The
approach thus requires planning through a development based on urban design principles
involving built form, space use and people. The proposals also identify the stakeholders
involved and the people affected, to provide for their vision for the area.

Conclusion
Section - 24 m ROW The land use in Karampura includes: residential, commercial, small-scale industries allied to recycling of waste and metal
scrap. The Shivaji Najafgarh road has evolved as a commercial road with automobile showrooms, ofices and banquet
halls. The Chara Mandi area has also evolved as a transport hub for freight activities. The presence of Patel Nagar
Railway Station and freight-related loading and unloading activities have caused transport related problems.
The existing varying ROW of roads with insuficient drop-off and parking spaces creates continuous chaos. The
road has dilapidated bus shelters, no auto and cycle rickshaw stands, no public amenities. The safety and security of
pedestrians and cyclists has been neglected. Thus, the ROW for the roads need to be revised, focusing on these issues
and the future needs of growing trafic.
The proposed multilevel parking resolves the issue of insuficient parking space and caters to the commercial corridor
of Shivaji Najafgarh Road. This restructured and redesigned road section not only eases movement along this particular
stretch, but also articulates the dedicated paths for pedestrians, cyclists and vehicle movement with speciic green buffer
zones. This is also enhanced with bus shelters, foot over-bridges, kiosks, public amenities, dustbins, etc.
The proposed transport terminal abuts the existing railway line which facilitates freight loading and unloading. The
design includes parking and service areas as well. The commercial component of the built mass caters to the shops for
transport agents. The large open green space acts as a recreational area. Movement is rationalised by strengthening the
