It is also a shopping destination and a thriving business district making it one of the most important mixed use districts in the NCR region. We propose a two step approach to address the public realm improvements in Karol Bagh. Strategy 1: Streets & Plazas Program Strategy 2: Parks & Places Program Ajmal Khan Road 650m Pusa Road to Arya Samaj Road Strategy 1: Streets & Plazas Program Streets & Plazas Program The District is structured around Ajmal Khan Road and Arya Samaj Road that form the major shopping streets along with Pusa Road/ Dayal Chowk as the gateway to the district. DB Gupta is a strategic city wide connector. Initial Concepts: 1. Reinforce the pedestrian character of Ajmal Khan Road 2. Create opportunities for placemaking at major pedestrian nodes: Karol Bagh Metro Station and Intersection of Ajmal Khan & Arya Samaj Road 3. Establish the street network as per pedestrian guidelines by UTTIPEC Strategy 2: Parks & Places Program Parks & Places Program The network of parks and streets in Karol Bagh create a strong contrast of urban experience between active Ajmal Khan Road and the passive, more local parks. We propose to enhance the fabric of the park along with the improvements in public realm of the streets. These in turn are seen as being anchors in the local life of the neighborhood. Initial Concepts: 1. EhEnhance t he v isua llikl linkages o fhf the park with the public realm 2. Propose special pavings on the streets around the park 3. Proposed special treatment to the park edge along the major street to highlight the entry and create a green zone 4.
