CITY LEVEL PROJECTS
New Ashok Nagar Site Specific Design for Ward Number 212 Acknowledgements
It is said that for an artist to join establishment is a kiss of death. I was fully aware of this aphorism when the Minister of Urban Development, Mr. Kamal Nath, asked me to be the Chairman of the Delhi Urban Art Commission. I had three conditions before accepting the assignment and one of these was that DUAC should be allowed to carry out site specific studies for improving slums and unauthorized colonies. Subsequently, the Minister along with the then Lieutenant Governor of Delhi, Mr. Tejendra Khanna, and Secretary, Ministry of Urban Development, Dr. Sudhir Krishna, approved the proposal to carry out three dimensional studies for improving slums and unauthorized colonies. I am grateful for their support.
I would like to thank other members of the Commission, Eric P. Mall, Satish Khanna, Sonali Bhagwati and D. Diptivilasa for helping to make success of problematic urban design exercises and charting new paths.
I take this opportunity to thank senior consultants, architects, urbanists and planners as well as younger colleagues who have been working full time. DUAC Secretary, Vinod Kumar, and other permanent staff have enthusiastically supported us and guided us through government procedures. Many thanks to all of them. Delhi Urban Art Commission

Half of Delhi lives in ramshackle slums and shabby unauthorized colonies. This state of buildings and complexes submitted through local municipal agencies. After taking over the affairs is a serious blot on the face of the city which has great historical monuments and direction of DUAC in 2011, members of the Commission arranged meetings with wide aspires to be a world class city. The centre of New Delhi is lined with leafy trees and can spectrum of advisors and formulated principles on which a building can be automatically boast of superb example of contemporary architecture but its growth under exploding and speedily approved and decided to take over the job of visualization and three population has disintegrated into shanty towns. dimensional planning for various aspects of the site specific designs which need to be My first memory of Delhi is that of a child going in a tonga from the railway station urgently developed if Delhi has to maintain standard as a world capital city. to our government quarter in New Delhi around a square which became our home A large part of Delhi lives in unauthorized colonies and slums and even the Master Plan for several years. The squares were built near Birla temple and when my father was of Delhi had suggested a detailed design proposal to augment the Master Plan based on promoted in the government hierarchy, he was offered an independent house with a ground realities. larger area but my mother refused to move as she had developed kinship with families In order to fulfil the requirements of neighbourhoods, wards, the DUAC has around the square. This was my first lesson in neighbourhood “mohalla” as an urban undertaken a few pilot projects which can be eventually developed in a manner that the phenomenon. local municipal agencies can implement them. In order to carry out these studies, DUAC In fact the word ‘urb’ in Latin stands for neighbourhood space. It was a period when developed in its own office a core group of architects and urban planners. This was done Connaught Place was the leisurely centre for social, shopping and cultural activities and on the basis of DUAC mandate that “the Commission may suo motu promote and the Old Delhi was lively and still gracious, dominated by Jama Masjid and Red Fort. Delhi’s secure the development, re-development of which no proposals in that behalf have been monuments like Humayun’s Tomb, Qutab Minar and Lodhi Garden were favourite places received from any local body”. for picnics. The studies involve the visual tools for ground studies combined with extra assistance Seventy years have passed since the tonga ride, Delhi has dramatically changed as the of Google images. It is hoped that the proposals and their conclusions would be population of Delhi has exploded from under a million before partition in 1947 to about evolved to such an extent that a process can be worked out with the resident welfare twenty million today. associations to make meaningful designs for the neighbourhood upgradation for the As a Professor in the School of Planning and Architecture in Delhi, I had ample scope different kind of wards. of studying typology of Indian cities which helped me to design Asian Games Village in my The DUAC’s site specific designs are the seeds which can grow and it is hoped that mid-career around 1980 as a series of clusters (mohalla neighbourhood) woven around economic principles would be evolved to implement the meaningful neighbourhood pedestrian pathways, segregated from road networks. This was a low rise high density upgradation for the different kind of slums and wards. India cannot remain shabby and housing built within the framework of 150 FAR (FSI 1.5). ramshackle forever and solutions have to be found for shanty towns. Delhi has changed even more drastically during the last thirty years since the Asian Games Village was built, but the idea of a city as a series of sympathetic, humane interconnected neighbourhood building blocks interspersed with social, cultural and educational facilities has remained embedded in my mind. Delhi Urban Art Commission was established to preserve, develop and maintain the aesthetic quality of urban and environmental design within Delhi. During the last 40 years Raj Rewal Chairman, DUAC of its existence, DUAC has not received any three dimensional exercises which visualizes neighbourhoods, wards etc. The emphasis has often been only appraising individual January 2014 Contents Summary 1 Ward Level Overview 6 In developing countries, more than half of the urban population lives in unplanned 1.1 City Level Location 6 settlements where their quality of life is substandard and at times inhuman.
