But now, the same source of water became a black spot in the urban setup due to continuous and haphazard urban development. Gwalior is a historical and major city in the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh. The urban form of Gwalior is influence by the unique landscape features, the high rocky hills surrounds the city from all sides and the Swarna Rekha river. With the growth of city the stress on the river increases, this result in predictable change in Swarna Rekha habitat, decline in the richness of fish communities which show the increase in the load of nutrients, metals, pesticides and other contaminants in River. To understand the site various studies is done in the aspect of data collection, topographical and climatic analysis. The project talks about the importance of the stream to its urban community and redesign in such a way that it can bring awareness to people while improving physical and ecological corridor connections and reduction of the urban heat island effect. 5 SCHOOL OF PLANNING AND ARCHITECTURE ,NEELBAD ROAD, BHAURI REDEVELOPMENT OF URBAN STREAM CORRIDOR CASE OF SWARN REKHA, GWALIOR ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Thesis has been an extremely educating experience for me and presenting this report fills me with a sense of satisfaction and gratitude towards the almighty and all those help me out of the way to reach this stage.
