Parks

The zonal parks in the ward are not very well designed and in a few cases not well kept either. It was decided to take up
redevelopment of the park falling in the pilot stretch as a prototype.
 Issues
• High fencing around parks act as physical and visual barriers. MARKET-1

• Restricted children’s play area.

• Underutilized green spaces.
• Many linear patches of open spaces are being used as parking.
• Open land is being used as dumping grounds.

 Observation

Pole Protection Pit for Bio-waste Not enough Seating No planters along pathway

• There was no nursery in park.

Small Play Area Low Height boundary wall
Provides view of park from street
• Footpaths are being used as
parking.
• Park corners were not
maintained.
 Solution
• There should be level
difference between road and
footpath.
• Increase in play area can
attract children.
• Sprinkler system can be
installed.
Markets-
 Market-1
Market-1 in Chittaranjan Park is one of the four local shopping centers of
the area. It is opposite the zonal park. People from all around Delhi visit
this market for its freshwater fish and traditional Bengali sweets. Thus,
the foot-fall in the market is quite high.
 Issues
• There is no parking space in and around the market.
• The plethora of hoardings/banners is aesthetically unappealing.
• There is no designated time and place for loading and unloading of
goods in the market, which causes a lot of traffic congestion.
• Absence of a proper bus stop(designated in MPD)
• No provision for solid-waste management in and around the market.

Proposal

• Proper steps and ramp for better approach to the market.

• Designated cycle stands and vehicular parking.
• Facade control: designated space for hoardings/banners and signage's for easy directions and legibility.
• Proper seating space, segregated waste bins in open spaces in the market area.
• Kiosks are proposed in the market for relocation of vendors and hawkers who otherwise encroach upon footpaths.
• Redesigning of junction, street cross section and bus stops.
• Photo voltaic panels (generating 100 KVA) on terrace.
• Food court under the solar photo voltaic trellis.

Markets-
 Critic’s (MARKET-1)

• There is proper distribution of dustbins in whole market . (Dry waste/

wet waste)

• Near transformer there is lot of waste disposal (due to shops) .By

making dumping yards it can be improved.

•Unused market terraces can be converted into open-air food courts

with solar photo voltaic trellis-If this will be implemented there then the
electricity generated can be used in the shops rather than taking
electricity from government and for making space usable the sittings can
be provided on the rooftop under the solar panels which can increase the
footfalls in the market .

• As proposed for parking (Multilevel parking in basement) –can improve

the problem of congestion. And the space now used for parking can be
used more efficiently by making landscape or creating a hawker street.

• Facade control: designated space for hoardings/banners and signage's

for easy directions and legibility which improves the visitors
misunderstanding to identify the shops and can find easily without
asking to someone.

• Designated cycle stands and vehicular parking. Which improves the

aesthetics of the market and it should be proposed in the sides of the
market for easy legibility and because of this the front façade cannot be
effected.
