Contents Summary Criteria for Area Selection: Delhi is a historic city. The historicity is manifested both at the 1 Area Introduction 6 monumental and mundane level equally by outstanding monuments on the one hand and housing of 1.1 City Location 6 the masses on the other. Housing determines the historic continuity of a place. Needless to state that a large part of this housing is informal, unregulated and unplanned. The informal physical geometry 1.2 Ward Location 7 of growth is a documentation of the supply/demand equation over time. The older parts of the city 1.3 Area Evolution 8 illustrate this trait more strongly than the comparatively newer ones. Also the medieval texture of the older parts is a clear giveaway of the areas that have come into the ambit of planned Delhi very late. The east of Delhi is a very ancient part which inds mention in the Battle of Plassey. 2 Mapping of Secondary Information 10 It is natural, then to assume that the fabric of East Delhi would present an existing scenario to the planners which gives very little room for interventions of a planned nature. Organic growth has 2.1 City Connectivity and Local Transport Nodes 10 this very heartening self limiting quality – in terms of social as well as physical growth. The pressures 2.2 Existing Road Hierarchy 11 of growth are kept in check by balancing forces – mysterious and unquantiied but apparent. These, 2.3 Land Use of Vinod Nagar and Mandawali 15 unfortunately, are way too random and unacceptable by the formal planning standards and the place is often perceived as chaotic. 2.4 Residential Colonies by MCD in Vinod Nagar 16 The selected areas have all the elements of organic growth (very high density, narrow lanes, small 2.5 Open Spaces, Parks and Playgrounds in Area of Study 19 plots, high ground coverage and structures of about 3-4 loors height, mixed land use and a general deiciency of infrastructure). Also the study area is very characteristic of this typical typology found 2.6 Social Infrastructure 21 uniformly scattered all over the extended boundary of Delhi. 2.7 The Commercial Typologies in the Area of Study 22 It would not be wrong to assume that it would be impossible to apply the principles of planning normally used for newer or planned areas. These are living, pulsating areas with very little 2.8 Services 23 manoeuvering space available for planners. A slightly improved level of infrastructure services can be 2.9 Patterns of Rentals in the Area 24 surgically implanted for a better quality of life for the residents by causing least inconvenience. Or else, a completely out of the box thinking approach is required demanding the seemingly 2.10 Comparison of Area of Study with Other Ward Characteristics 25 impossible resources of high capital (private investment?), land, people’s participation and 2.11 People Survey 26 cooperation and timely delivery of schemes – besides running the risk of transforming the social fabric of the place for good. 2.12 Observations on Growth Trends in Area of Study 27 2.13 Issues in Area of Study 28 Objective: The site speciic study undertaken is the area of West Vinod Nagar and Mandawali (Ward no 217 and 218). Part of the study area is unauthorized regularized colonies while the rest comes Master Plan Delhi/Zonal Plan Highlights 29 under the category of unauthorized colonies. The area is a representative example of the rest of the 3 unauthorized colonies in the city. Despite being an unauthorized colony, the area is developing fast 3.1 Location on Master and Zonal Plans 29 in violation of the Master Plan. The issues that are being dealt with at this stage call for following few 3.2 Comparisons with Master Plan 30 interventions that can be explored for the area: a. Upgradation of services 3.3 Population Projections for Area of Study 31 b. Motivating people to come together and pool in to be part of better planning control for their area.

Vinod Nagar can be accessed by private vehicles, autos and cycle-rickshaws. NH-24 and Narwana Road are connected by roads at two places. Limited access roads create congested trafic situations at peak hours. Narwana Road is where all modes of transport can be accessed. The parking spills on to the road in an unorganized manner. Rickshaws are currently the mode of transport adopted to access public transport. They cater to the localities of Mandawali, Railway Colony and Preet Vihar and very recently have extended their reach to the Mandawali railway station and Akshardham Metro station.
