Khar Chung Riverfront Developement Location: Hussainabad River Front, Skardu City, Baltistan

Kharchung or New Hussainabad area’s proximity to the river creates potential for a vibrant neighbourhood community with the Indus river as it’s public recreation facility. To prevent ad-hoc construction and encroachment of riparian buffer, the concept plan effectively utilises the land to provide housing, education facilities, health facilities, parks, and a regulated hospitality zone along the riverfront with a riverfront natural park

1968 Khasra map overlayed along with riparian buffers, demarcated Forest Department land , community graveyard and private land. 273 plots of 10,890 sqft each has been allocated to migrants. The residential zone will consist of 1-2 kanal double storey households

The neighbourhood is predominantly composed of Residential, Public, Hospitality and Recreation zones. Within each zone multiple land uses are permitted based on the building by laws and regulations. A buffer zone with integrated green infrastructure is also included.

Gangoo-pi urban trail

Revival of Skardu’s historic landmark Skardu City Gilgit Baltistan , Pakistan

The Site features the Gangoo Pi Nallah which is used as a source of water irrigation and as a walking path by locals. Upon physical inspection of study area the channel area seems in a state of neglect.

Currently the history of Gangoo Pi is safe in oral tradition told by locals who wish to see the history of this ancient water channel preserved physically through the conservation of the nallah.

Poor accessibility and wayfidinding to the site for both pedestrian and car users makes the site largely inaccessible to the public and tourist despite it’s rich history It is reimagined as a linear park and a historic trail that can be an active public space.
