LOCALLY ATTUNED AND RESPONSIVE A systemic approach or design that is consistently adapted to its surroundings. Having a sense of, and harmony with, one’s immediate surroundings or environment and being responsive to them. Includes having feedback loops and being resourceful and opportunistic.

OPTIMIZES RATHER THAN MAXIMIZES A systemic approach or design that systemically resolves all factors in context. Increasing one’s efﬁciency to improve output rather than increasing one’s theoretical girth, use of raw materials, or use of energy. Includes using multi-functional design and ﬁtting form to function.

INTEGRATES CYCLIC PROCESSES A systemic approach or design whose processes follow a cyclic path. Taking part in and/or using a cyclic chain of information, energy, or materials.

LEVERAGES INTERDEPENDENCE A systemic approach or design that ﬁnds value through interactions. Species and individuals can increase survival by working together. When leveraging interdependence, the result is something greater than each part is separately. Includes recycling all materials and self-organizing.

RESILIENT A systemic approach or design that maintains function following disturbance. Has the ability to recover after disturbance by incorporating redundancy and diversity, and being decentralized and distributed.

USES BENIGN MANUFACTURING A systemic approach or design that causes no harm in its creation. Uses mild, neutral, or favorable manufacturing practices, generally accepted as sustainable, such as self-assembly and using lifefriendly materials and water-based chemistry.

▲ sez boundaries

▲ development density

The SEZ boundaries plan is the broad level land use plan that illustrates the relationship between the processing areas, the non-processing areas and the Domestic Tariff Area (DTA). This arrangement also conﬁrms the requirement of each SEZ being a minimum of 1000 hectares with each SEZ comprising processing and non-processing areas.

The development density diagram is a tool to visualize development density by using a range of colors. Here, the darker represents higher density and lighter color represents less density. Each color in the spectrum is given a FSI (Floor Space Index) value that eventually yields to the total built-up area as well as total population density.

▲ landscape & open space plan

▲ walking distance

A complex system of active and passive open space that has emerged from the master plan includes preserved forest and slopes, nala corridors and water bodies, formal and informal urban parks and preserved farmland outside the master plan area. A wide variety of activities will take place within this network of open spaces.

The walking distance diagram highlights the areas defined as activity centers such as town centers, major transportation hubs, or civic, commercial and retail destinations. In the diagram here, these centers are defined by circles and the radius of the circle is marked at five- and 10-minute walking distance from the center. Typically, the linear dimension of 400 meters or 1350 feet is used to define a five-minute walking distance.

▲ block structure

▲ regulating plan

The intent of the diagram is to show how the streetscape, parks and plazas are deﬁned and linked by a series of strong building edges. All major open spaces are meant to be civic in nature and the strong built edges provide eyes on the space keeping them safe. Looking closely, one can also see the hierarchical differences in the open space system that varies from neighborhood scale to regional scale.

The regulating plan highlights each of the transect zones - from nature to dense urban. Industrial uses are highlighted under the special district category. This plan serves as the determining plan for appropriate levels of development intensity, shows the proper transitions in scale from place to place and illustrates the connections from preserved spaces to growth areas.

KHED SEZ

▲ circulation hierarchy

▲ development phasing

Eight levels of roadway make up the hierarchy of streets planned to service Khed SEZ. This illustrates the street types and sizes, from primary to secondary to tertiary. In addition to width, speed and capacity, the hierarchy is related to character of the public realm, indicating the appropriate design character of neighborhood, retail, commercial streets or highways.

Due to the large size of the site and extended time frame of the development, a strategy for phasing was considered essential. This strategy had to respond to the sequence of SEZ regulation, land acquisition, proximity to existing adjacent infrastructure, and other market-driven factors. Phasing for Khed SEZ corresponds to four primary zones or SEZs of approximately 1000 ha.
