Safe and seamless pedestrian mobility has become a major concern in Delhi. The continuous pedestrian movement at ground level was unsafe and discontinuous. It possibilities for efficient schemes for uninterrupted, safe pedestrian connections was felt that segregated and defined elevated pedestrian networks which navigate for zones that have a high vehicular volume, combined with a high pedestrian the multiple layers and land-uses such arterial roads, commercial areas, institutions, traffic flow, varied high intensity developments in close proximity, and availability of high density residential development, parks, neighborhoods etc. could be an space in the right of way was considered in this study. innovative strategy.

The stretch of Press Enclave Marg between the Metro Station and Sub-Central The study is an attempt to identify dedicated pedestrian corridors in the form of Business District at had been chosen for this study. There are two large Elevated walkways running parallel to the existing infrastructure which link high- hospitals, and the Hauz Rani urban village in the connecting space in between. Over density neighborhoods to transit junctions and demonstrate their integration with time, spaces for pedestrians got subsumed in other requirements of utility services, the existing built infrastructure. service lanes, signage’s, bus stops, parking and plating zones.

CONTENTS Summary

The study on Pedestrian Connectivity illustrates strategies to make the city ‘accessible’ to its people. Improved accessibility within the city results in the enhancement of safety, security and health.

As a resource amenity, ‘Elevated Walkways’ are connectors that traverse a variety of ownerships and environments, linking fragments of the city. These links recognize multiple values: Recreation, transportation, aesthetic, scenic, environmental and economic gain. Elevated Walkways provide a platform for improving neighbourhoods and city-wide needs. Improved accessibility influences standards of social justice and equity. It also results in an increase in the city’s land value. They also provide a means to thread diverse city patterns together.

The city and its streets have been taken over by vehicles pushing aside the right of Highline, New York, USA (claudiasaezfromm.com) the people to walk. 42% of the total deaths that took place on city’s roads in 2016 account for those of pedestrians. Delhi pedestrians constituted 600 of the total 01 introduction 1,415 fatal road accidents (DNA, January 2017).

This project aims to support efforts to make the city accessible, create potential for pedestrians to move without being compromised by vehicles in the road space. The study explores the city’s layers to define alternate movement domains. It demonstrates how existing natural and manmade constructs can be organized together to create a dedicated pedestrian corridor.

The plan includes the utilization of the city’s green lungs (city greens), linking forests and parks to the city and spatial corridors around precincts to allow movement of people and non-motorized vehicles. This would provide safe and convenient connections to parks, natural systems and recreational facilities, and links with residential areas, civic institutions and businesses.
