DELHI URBAN ART COMMISSION with gratitude duly acknowledges the valuable contributions of the following in making this report:

Raj Rewal Former Chairman, DUAC The city of Delhi, capital of this vast land of diversities, is a city laden with layers of history, Satish Khanna Former Member, DUAC Eric P. Mall Former Member, DUAC a place where civilizations have lived, prospered and perished over centuries. The modern D. Diptivilasa Former Member DUAC & Addl. Secretary, Ministry of Urban Development city today, built over and around a rich tapestry of heritage, presents an opportunity at every turn, to allow for co-existence of the past, present and the future. In order to understand this multidimensional urban spectrum and attempt to plan the future, various Organisations/Others city level studies have been initiated by the DUAC. I hope that these studies will help Ministry of Urban Development, Government of India the planners of modern day Delhi to carefully articulate urban space, structure, form and Delhi Development Authority environment and sensitively address future requirements. Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi I convey my thanks to all the Consultants and Members of the Commission who have North Delhi Municipal Corporation tirelessly worked on this research project to bring out this document. I also take this East Delhi Municipal Corporation opportunity to place on record my sincere appreciation of the efforts of Secretary and South Delhi Municipal Corporation other staff of DUAC for providing the necessary administrative support to make this New Delhi Municipal Council happen. Geospatial Delhi Limited I fondly hope that the authorities of the local, state and national government take these Delhi Metro Rail Corporation studies seriously and implement, in right earnest, the suggestions given herein.

Rao RWA Chairman, DUAC Contents Summary Urban Context 1 City and Ward Level Overview 6 The urban villages of Delhi present a variety of environmental conditions. The urban context of 1.1 City Level Location 6 Lado Sarai is quite distinct, since it is located in a historically signiicant part of Delhi containing traces of three ancient imperial cities. To preserve these remains, green reservations have been 1.2 City Level Features 7 established which surround Lado Sarai. The historic settlement of Mehrauli is adjacent, but made 1.3 The Ward and its Precinct 8 somewhat inaccessible because of major vehicular roads planned as city level arteries on all sides 1.4 Nullah System of the Ward 8 of Lado Sarai. These roads demarcate the physical boundaries of the habitation and its possible extension. Between these roads and the existing habitation there are pockets of vacant land which 1.5 Chronological Development 9 were earmarked by the DDA for institutional use but not utilized as such. The local residents have 1.6 Master Plan Framework 10 been using parts of these lands for parking cars and buses. 1.7 Ward Level Transportation Network 10 Developmental Logic The location of Lado Sarai and its intra-city 2 Area Level Details 11 connectivity has attracted additional population 2.1 Existing View and Main Issues 12 and intensiication of building development but without adequate infrastructure provision. This has 2.2 Building Use Plan 14 led to congestion and unsanitary conditions in the 2.3 Open Spaces 14 village. Planned development, therefore, needs to focus on improving the environmental conditions 2.4 Social Infrastructure 15 of the existing habitation while encouraging new 2.5 Historical Monuments 15 building development on the vacant fringe lands 2.6 Existing Street Sections and Physical Environment 16 to provide facilities which will ease congestion 2.6.1 Old MB Road 16 in the village. An important facility required is 2.6.2 MB Road 17 underground parking for motorized vehicles of 2.6.3 Other Roads 18 residents and others in a planned manner. To make the underground parking inancially viable 3 Citizen Action/Public Participation 20 a mixed-use development is planned above to contain retail shopping, commercial ofices, and 3.1 Preamble 21 service apartments in medium-rise blocks, no 3.2 Diferent Interest Groups 21 higher than the mature trees existing in the area. Landscaped green areas of varying sizes are 3.3 Discussions and Suggestions 21 planned between the existing habitation and the new mixed-use development. 4 Design Proposal 22 An important element of environmental 4.1 Design Principles 23 structure is the proposal for sunken pedestrian plazas to cross under the trafic junctions on 4.2 Urban Design Proposal 24 three sides of the village to allow safe access to 4.3 3-Dimensional Expression 26 the facilities adjoining Lado Sarai. 4.4 Aurobindo Marg Planning Neighbourhood (PN1) 28 Community Focus 4.5 MB Road Planning Neighbourhood (PN2) 34 Environmental improvement of the existing habitation is the anchor of urban planning proposals 4.6 Phirni Road Planning Neighbourhood (PN3) 38 for any urban village. Lado Sarai residents were approached at the start of the exercise to understand community requirements and aspirations. There is an interesting mix here of 4.7 Mehrauli Planning Neighbourhood(PN4) 39 indigenous people who are the original landowners, with a large number of migrants, mainly 4.8 Details of Phirni Road and Mehrauli 40 tenants, and the most recent inlux of designers and artists that add a cosmopolitan character. 4.9 Parking Proposals 42 A community meeting and discussion groups were organized to assist local stakeholders with technical knowhow to augment the resources of the government departments undertaking public 4.10 Area Statement 44 works. Only a beginning could be made in this direction in the time available before this report goes to print. It is hoped that the DUAC will extend this initiative to show results on the ground. 6 City AnD WArD LeveL OvervieW CITY LEVEL PROJECT lying inZone portion ‘J’.
