The major activity zones, along with the main road junctions and entry point are depicted as the urban MOGAPPAIRnodes.
The road network within Mogappair varies from place to place significantly. These difference is evident when we consider areas like W.Mogappair, E.Mogappair & Nolambur. While the Nolambur lacks major connecting roads, East & West Mogappair has grid pattern of road network in certain areas developed by TNHB. State Highway 112 TirumangalamMogappair road Chennai - Tiruvallur High road NH 716
Mogappair is primarily occupied by low to high density residences. The difference in distribution can be identified based on the development and gradual evolution from Nolambur to W.Mogappair to E.Mogappair.

All the open spaces in the area can be classified under Green Field, Vacant Plot, Brown Field and Recreational Spaces. These places are concentrated on the Western side of Mogappair. Due to high concentration of built components in East side, open areas are less than bare minimum in the East Mogappair.
This tissue is along the bank of R.Coovum. It has inactive streetscape with traditional settlement. People here once had farming as their occupa tion. Now they depend on Livestock farming. This area is less dense. This area contains major roads which connects to the high ways. It has Industries, Com mercial buildings, TNHB Resi dence & a bus depot. This is the most active region of Mogap pair. This area in Nolambur com prises of some of the tall est residential & mixed use building. The area is grad ually increasing in density. This area was developed by TNHB. The visual char acter of this zone shows developed roads and simple building forms. This district is highly dense due to the growth of institu tional buildings. This is the most dense area with varying building height, shorter floor level & network of narrow roaads. This region comprises Man gal lake which is the major at traction of Mogappair. It has mixed & residential building of varying height. This are is mod erately dense.

Vacant land within Mogappair and along Ambattur Industrial Estate has also turned into dumpyards. Need for market Market is one of the major need in this area, as per the surveys conducted. Both the street vendors and the people feel it would be more feasible if a market place is provided.

VIEWS
• The concept of the design was inspired from the one of the Chennai’s most significant event ‘PORUTKATCHI’ which is a exhibition.
DESIGN GUIDELINES
3. For sales spaces, storage, administration, speciaised facilities, circulation, services and especially parking, adequate space is required.
DESIGN CONCEPT
• The idea is to make the space as both recrational and retail space.
1. Preventing flow of market towards the service road to prevent the spillage towards it. 2. Bus bay and a drop off is provided in the entrance to regulate the traffic flow within the site.
4. Segregate the pedestrian traffic from vehicular flow.

Phase 3- The next phase involves recycling plant and community development centre which improves the present vendors community.
• The design mainly focused on increasing the activities by prviding a market and plaza that could enhance the community, that could increase the urban fabric of the region.

5. Provide Waste recycling plant.
About the site: The vacant land where the site is located is used to dump the industrial wastes and wastes from the nearby residences. Industries and residences are found next to each other which causes discomforts to the residants. The selected site has the potential to act as a buffer zone by creating communal activities in the form of market and urban plaza.
6. Usage of temporary coverings for sales area is prioritised.
Phase 1- The phase involves the addition of a urban plaza which acts a buffer zone between the market and the highway.
Phase 1- The initial phase of the proposal starts with a space for bus stop, drop off point and seating spaces whose restricts the vehicular traffic.
Phase 4- The next phase contains the open market.
