1 CITY AND IT’S FOUNDATION 1.1 Introduction The neighbourhood lies in the central part of the city, to the north of which ﬂows the Nag-river. The study aims to identify and detail out the neighbourhood by looking at it from various perspectives. The report consists of the comprehensive collection of data about neighbourhood and its relationship with the overall city. It consists of possible propositional ideas by re-imagining the predetermined notions of living and occupying the spaces in the city.

1.2 Approach and Methodology Nagpur, the winter capital of the state of Maharashtra, is a fast growing metropolis. The city has had a major influence on the central railways since the British times. It has evolved in and around the railways, and therefore, it was important to understand the establishment of the railways. The tracks were laid after Nagpur became the capital of the central provinces of the British East India Company. Because of this, the Tata group established the country’s first textile mill at Nagpur-Empress Mills which is close to the station. Soon, this area developed radically as an industrial estate . We wanted to study areas which are or have been in direct influence of the railways. The subject area includes old British railway colonies, an industrial zone alongside the railways, settlements around the mills and two major markets. We started by understanding the spatial growth and establishment of the city. Soon after we realised that in order to study the existing landuse and layout we need to zoom into certain swatches that would give a deeper understanding of the neighbourhood and its relationship with the overall city . We tried to pick-out swatches with different land use, settlement patterns, housing typology, etc. We spoke to people who work in or inhabit this neighbourhood. Their narratives helped us understand what they think about the ongoing developments as well as the future imagination of the city.. It is also important to keep in mind the fact that, the city has been growing ceaselessly towards the outskirts whereas the development around the central part that we're looking at seems to be standstill.

1.4 History and Culture 1.4 B Heritage and Conservation Nagpur has been ruled by many emperors and rulers and these rulers have often left their mark in form of gates, temples and administrative buildings which now are considered of great historic signiﬁcance. During the Gond rule (1636-1743), the city was fortiﬁed with six major gates. The residential area for Kings and Nobles was within the fort on the eastern side. The common people lived outside the fort area.

One of the biggest meeting places in Nagpur city, Kasturchand Park is situated at about 1 km. from central railway station. It is the most popular place when it comes to holding big processions in the city. In fact, a lot of trade shows and fairs are also organized in the park owing to the space available here. The park is always thriving with all sorts of activities the entire year. Zero Mile in Nagpur Nagpur lies precisely at the center of the country with the Zero Mile Marker indicating the geographical center of India. The Zero Mile Stone was erected by the British who used this point to measure all the distances. The Zero Mile Stone consists of four horses and a pillar made up of sandstone. It is located on the south east of Vidhan Bhavan, Nagpur. The English rulers considered Nagpur as the centre of India and hence identified this point and constructed the Zero Mile Stone. Being at the center of the country, they also had a plan to make Nagpur the second capital city. Sitabuldi Fort in Nagpur, site of the 1817 Battle of Sitabuldi, is located atop a small hillock in the middle of Nagpur. The fort was built by Appa Sahib or Mudhoji II Bhonsle of the Kingdom of Nagpur, just before he fought against the British East India Company during the Third Anglo-Maratha War. The area surrounding the hillock is now known as Sitabuldi and is an important commercial hub for Nagpur. Inside the fort one can find graves of numerous British soldiers and a cell where Mahatma Gandhi was imprisoned. At present, Sitabuldi fort is the home to the office of the territorial army. The fort opens to the general public only on two national holidays- 26th January and 15th August. Kalidas Festival is celebrated annually at Ramtek and Nagpur for two days in the month of November. Organized by MTDC in association with the District Collectorate Office of Nagpur, this festival of Music, Dance and Drama is held to honour Kalidasa. Kalidas was a great Sanskrit poet and dramatist of India, renowned for his historical drama Shakuntalam, Kumaarasambhava , Ritusamhaara and for the epic poem Meghdoot alias Meghdootam. It is said the picturesque Ramtek has inspired Kalidas to write his famous literary work, Meghdootam.During Kalidas festival, celebrities of music, dance and drama gathered here to perform their talent. The festival brings back memories of the golden period of the Vidarbha region. People from different parts of India come here to attend the festival with full enthusiasm Marbat Festival held especially in the Nagpur city, is an important festival in this region which is celebrated to protect the city from evil spirits. During the festival, people of Nagpur venerate their God to save them from the evil spirits and they make statues of evil forces. These statues are taken to a vast ground as a procession, from all the areas of the city. They are burnt together on a belief that the city would be free from all types of evils. People purchase and wear new attires and ornaments on that day and women prepare delicious delicacies and distribute to everyone. Various cultural activities such as dance, drama etc are also organized during the festival.

1.5 Geography & Geology 1.5 A Climate Study Nagpur has a tropical savanna climate (Aw in Köppen climate classiﬁcation) with dry conditions prevailing for most of the year. It receives about 163 mm of rainfall in June. In winter there is much less rainfall than in summer. 44.4 inch of precipitation falls annually. The "mean daily maximum" (solid upper line) shows the maximum temperature of an average day for every month for Nagpur. Likewise, "mean daily minimum" (solid bottom line) shows the average minimum temperature. Hot days and cold nights (dashed upper and lower lines) show the average of the hottest day and coldest night of each month of the last 30 years. Monthly precipitations above 150 mm are mostly wet, below 30 mm mostly dry. The wind rose for Nagpur shows how many hours per year the wind blows from the indicated direction.

1.5 B Topography Nagpur is located near the V-shaped Nag River Basin's origin (vertex). Seminary Hills, Starky Point Hill, Ramnagar Hill, and Sitabuldi Hill are remnants of the undulating Mahadagarh Hills on the city's eastern outskirts. This area contains all of the major geological formations. Nagpur is located on the Deccan Plateau and is part of the Satpura Range. The Satpura range of hills is located in central India. The range begins in eastern Gujarat and runs east through Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh before terminating in Chhattisgarh. The range runs parallel to the Vindhya Range to the north, and the Indo-Gangetic Plain in northern India and the Deccan Plateau in the south are divided by these two east-west mountains.

1.5 C Soil Study The major soil texture in Nagpur is clayey, where the clay content varies from 35% to 75%. In some of the areas, the soil texture ranges from clay loam to sandy clay loam. The organic matter content in the soil is usually less than 0.75%. The soil pH varies from 8 to 8.5. The problem of soil salinity does not exist in Nagpur. The black cotton soil found in nagpur is very advantageous for agriculture but on the other hand it has very low bearing capacity and high shrinking and swelling capacity. Due to its peculiar characteristics, it forms a very poor foundation for construction.

1.5 D Hydrology Nagpur lies on a plateau in central india. Most of the rivers are seasonal rivers and depends on rainfall and dams. Majority of nagpur’s runoff water joins Vana or Kanhan river. Ground water development depends on many factors viz., availability, crop water requirement, socio-economic fabric and on the yield of the aquifers existing in that area. The yields of wells are functions of the permeability and transmissivity of aquifer encountered and varies with location, diameter and depth etc. Ground water in the area is being developed by two type of abstraction structures i.e., borewells and dugwells. However dugwells are the main groundwater abstraction structures in the district. The yield of such structures varies from 20 to 380 m3/day. High yielding dugwells are generally located in weathered and fractured Basalts, fractured granites and Gondwana formations occurring in physiographic depressions.

1.5 E Flora and fauna Nagpur is known as the second greenest city in India with nearly 18% area under forests and plantation/parks, 17% under cultivation and 2% underwater bodies. Open spaces account for 22% area, the city on an average has 31 m2 green spaces per person (forest, plantation and cultivation included). It is in the deccan trap which was ﬂooded by lava welling up from the vents in the earth some 65 million years ago. This formed the perfect soil required to create dense tropical hardwood forests.

Plant wealth of the district can be grouped into three main types: Hill Forest, Savannah and Pond vegetation along with some minor groupings such as Riverine, Wasteland plants and Weeds. According to Flora of Nagpur District, there are 1136 plant species which fall under 679 genera and 142 families Cassia siamea, Acacia leucophloea, Azadirachta indica, and Mimosa leucocephala, Dalbergia sissoo, Hardwickia binata, Butea monosperma, Albizia lebbeck are tree species that are widely distributed dominantly across the city. Deciduous trees are often mixed with thorny ornithophilous shrubs. Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve in Tadoba is a predominantly southern tropical dry forest with dense woodlands comprising about 87 percent of the protected area.The most popular species of the trees are Teak and Bamboo in this forest.Other trees include Ain (crocodile bark), Bija, Dhauda, Hald, Salai, Semal and Tendu. Baheda, Hirda, Karaya Gum, Mahua Madhuca (crepe myrtle) and Lannea coromandelica are other common species.Axlewood (Anogeissus latifolia) is a ﬁre-resistant species growing here.Palas or ﬂame of the forest (Butea monosperma) adds vibrant colour to the forest.Black plum trees grow in the riparian habitat around the lake. At the waterhole at Panchadhara, huge Arjun trees are seen.Grass is found throughout the reserve.Bamboo thickets grow throughout the reserve.The climber Kach Khujli (velvet bean) found here is a medicinal plant used to treat Parkinson’s disease. Nagpur Municipal Corporation is planning to make Nagpur the second largest green city in India. As per the data obtained from NMC’s garden department, there are 21,43,838 trees within the Nagpur city amounting to 9,871 trees per sq. km against the present population of 2,405,421. As per Census 2011, there are 9 trees for every 10 persons in Nagpur city. NMC in its effort to further enhance its green cover within the city has decided to undertake massive tree plantation activity i.e. 4.5 to 5 lakh saplings. According to theAsian green cities index report, Indian cities (22 cities) on an average have 17 m2/person green space.. Based on these reports, it can be concluded that Nagpur has a good green space provision.

2 NEIGHBOURHOOD : OVERVIEW 2.1 Neighbourhood context

Map 8 :- Map of the city with demarcating the swatch

The city has been established and developed in and around railways. We wanted to study such areas which are or have been in direct relation or inﬂuence of the railways. This includes old British railway colonies, an industrial zone alongside the railways, settlements around the mills and two major markets. Our neighbourhood lies in the central zone and is bordered by Nag river in the north. It covers around eight sectors - Dhantoli, Imamwada, Ajni, Rambagh, Untkhana, Ashok Nagar, North Sakkardara and Government Medical college.

Semester 7 l Nagpur l Urban Design

2.2 Neighbourhood Plan

Map 9 :-Zoomed in neighbourhood map

In the extreme left of the neighbourhood is Dhantoli. It is a residential area with high commercial value. Towards the northern side, lies an lod marketplace called sitabuldi. It is one of the busiest street markets in the city. This part of the neighbourhood is a growing commercial space with a new the metro crossing and a new mall coming up. Imamwada region lies under the industrial zone with Steel, Wood and Plastic small scale industries and workshops all over the sector. Alongside the railways is its colony called Ajni. Set-up by the British, it is a series of row houses with open gardens for the railway employees. Rambagh is a densely packed settlement. A dense network of narrow lanes and small houses, it forms a stretch between the GMC campus and Imamwada. GMC campus, on the southern part of the neighbourhood, is a green yet isolated piece of land which has the medical college. Multiple checkpoints and prior permissions make it difﬁcult for the people who want to just cross it to get somewhere else. Untkhana and Ashok nagar are fairly residential areas with individual bungalows and private homes. Sakkardara region has its own historical importance. Step wells, old temples, form a part of this area.

The swatch chosen is a mixed bag of residential, commercial, institutional, and hospital spaces. The majority of it is residential. In areas like Dhantoli, the residential spaces have a commercial complex on the ground level and ﬂat schemes on the upper level. The entire northern belt of the swatch, i.e., Sitabuldi, and the industrial area along the Nag river are mostly commercial. A huge part of the central part is devoted to government medical institution. Towards the right part of the neighbourhood is a residential area. Institutions in the neighbourhood are placed together with huge open grounds around them.

The majority of the neighbourhood has independent bungalows and small residential plots. Dhantoli, which was once a complete residential zone, has become a commercial hub now. Ground floors in Dhantoli are being converted into commercial complexes, while upper floors are being kept for residents.Compact settlements could be seen towards the central zone. The industrial area has slums and other compact settlements around it. Alongside the railways is its colony called Ajni. Set-up by the British, it is a series of row houses with open gardens for the railway employees. This colony is extremely rich in terms of its flora. It is home to trees that are more than 100 years old. A new inter-modal station is being proposed here which will be constructed at the cost of this ecologically rich area.

2.3 C Essentials

Map 12 :- Essential services

In dhantoli area one can observe a high density of hospitals & Hotels can be distinctively found on the major roads radiating from the medical square. Institutional buildings present in the neighbourhood are extremely old and hence they have huge open areas around them.

Semester 7 l Nagpur l Urban Design

2.3 D Green Cover

Map 13 :- Green Cover

The major green cover in Nagpur is persistent today only due to land reserved during British times. A large chunk of Nagpur's green cover comes from old establishments like the medical college and the Ajni colony. Nagpur has lost around 4000 hectares of green cover in the last 2 decades and is still depleting at an alarming rate after various government proposals on this reserved land. In the neighbourhood, the southern part has undesignated open land that has a dense growth of trees and other greens. Since the British times, Ajni colony and GMC campus have carefully planted trees. Ajni colony is extremely rich in terms of its ﬂora. It is home to trees that are more than 100 years old. A new inter-modal station is being proposed here which will be constructed at the cost of this ecologically rich area.

2.3 E Non-designated Open Spaces

Map 14 :- Open spaces and parks

There are certain open spaces in our neighbourhood that have become overgrown with a dense wild cover of trees. Some of these patches are private lands which have been left underdeveloped. Due to this negligence, this space has seen the wanted growth of wild ﬂora. During the monsoons, there is stagnation of water which becomes a breeding ground for disease-causing insects. Along the road, these spaces are being used for dumping. As planners, our primary approach should be to consider the entire allotted area as one landscape unit and then to negotiate the built forms with nature rather than to impose them on it.

Semester 7 l Nagpur l Urban Design

2.3 F Water Bodies

Map 14 :- Water bodies

The 17-kilometer stretch of the Nag river in the heart of Nagpur runs adjacent over 200 contiguous hectares in strategic locations across the city. It flows from Ambazari Lake and into the Kanhan River. This is a man-made river which was made by the king in order to supply water to his kingdom during the non-monsoon seasons. During the monsoon season, it is particularly vulnerable to flooding, is severely contaminated by waste water and solid waste, and is entirely inaccessible. Over the years, the river has been carrying heavy sewage load transformed into into wastewater carrying stream. The river is highly degraded due to poor urban infrastructure, lack of institutional capacity for their management and lack of tools for enforcement of existing regulations. The Nag River Rejuvenation Project has been proposed in order to improve the river's quality and ecology, as well as to mitigate floods.

Semester 7 l Nagpur l Urban Design

2.3 G Connectivity 2.3 G i Transport

Map 15 :- Metro routes

Nagpur is a fast expanding city, and public transportation is an important element of that growth. The Nagpur metro system was planned in 2014, and the ﬁrst phase opened to civilians in 2019. Nagpur metro currently has two lines, one running north to south and the other running east to west, with the goal of connecting the city's core business district to residential regions. And, perhaps, additional lines will be constructed to link Nagpur's key regions. However, because of the city's size, individuals choose to ride their own vehicles rather than take public transportation, making the metro a million-dollar joy ride.

Semester 7 l Nagpur l Urban Design

2.3 G Connectivity 2.3 G ii Hierarchy of Roads

Map 16 :- Hierarchy of roads

Nagpur is a radial city with a ring road that circles the city; in this particular swatch, we can see a similar pattern where the medical sq. roundabout is at the centre and six roads radiate outward, creating smaller foci, and so on. Each sector formed by the diverging roads has a different neighbourhood such as residential, residential+commercial, commercial, and so on. As can be seen, travelling from a road next to GMC to the other side, or from a road adjacent to Ajni Railway Colony to the other side, is cumbersome since they must either drive around the sector or take a journey from the centre. This problem does not exist in any other sector since there is a government-designed plan with suitable intermediary routes.

3 SWATCH ANALYSIS 3.1 Dhantoli

Dhantoli is the city's most prominent healthcare center. It was form housing colony for individuals who worked for British authorities neighbourhood was mostly residential, although it has now transformed into commercial stores on the lower levels. Many o structures have been converted into hospitals with residences on Several British-style homes still stand in the neighbourhood, but have been converted into apartments. The majority of the plot owned by individuals, although there has been a transition to converting these into commercial establishments. It has been no that the neighbourhood contains several hospitals but lacks spac waiting and recreation.

Towards the northern end of the neighbourhood, there is a stadium the city's largest street market. The stadium's usage has ev throughout time, and it is currently used as a commercial centre. are a few educational organizations in the region with huge grounds. The Nagpur metro orange line passes through the area, with two nearby. - The Sitabuldi Station and Congress Nagar Station.

3.2 Sitabuldi

Sitabuldi is one of the few prominent street marketplaces that ex independence. It is close to the Sitabuldi Fort, which was ere Bhosales in the 1700s. This roadway was once a major thor business, but it was later turned into a street market. The fortiﬁcation and the gates of the Sitabuldi fort can be found alo market street. Nagpur has been slightly imposed on by the ar proposals for constructing a smart city in India. It's as if there's building infrastructure to turn a developing city into a smart on situation, the smart city notion appears alien and imposing example, despite the fact that Fortune Mall (in an attempt to market typology) failed spectacularly, a new conventional mall is does not respect the existing typology and sits like a monolithic within the market, and even the design of metro institutions (c dull spaces below that impede the street market typology) The we have a predetermined, incorrect image of what constitutes a India, and we ignore the city's historical relevance and cul applying the same typology practically everywhere.

3.3 Imamwada Imamwada, at the city's core, is a lively industrial neighbourhood. It was one of the most important lumber marketplaces in Asia during the British era. Residential complexes and woodworking workshops make up the neighbourhood. One of the motivations for creating a market here was the ease of transportation provided by the nearby railways. Imamwada is a classiﬁed industrial district, with the only residential structures dating back 20-30 years. Typically, adjacent to the road, there are alternating residential and workshop buildings, and the central space is a communal storage area where timber is stored. Map 19:- Imamwada swatch

Many customers are switching to alternative materials such as plywood due to environmental and ﬁnan concerns, resulting in a drop in demand for timber. As a result, many vendors have moved from selling tim to selling plywood, ceramic ware, and other items who do not need such a huge infrastructure and h considering selling the property.

3.4 Rambagh

Rambagh was occupied by people working fo low-ranking railway employees, all of whom wer native Indians, during British control. The elit occupied area was divided from this area by railway This neighbourhood is next to an industrial area tha deals with the trade of wood. As a result, all of th migrant workers and craftsmen (mostly from Chhattisgarh) ﬁnally settled here. Because th location was close to the nationalist Model mills, th majority of the workers chose to live here as well. Due to British rule's lack of attention, congested place with poor sanitation resulted. Although some areas o these spaces connect to large green landscapes wit almost no human access, they lack green space. Thes open spaces could be used in the near future t improve living conditions and to bring togethe culturally and economically diverse people.

Railway colony residential residential + commercial

The city's planning has been heavily influenced colonial influences, owing to the development empress mills, which are now positioned in city's centre. The deliberate positioning of railways within the city's framework served divide the metropolis between the ruling class a the subjugated. The Anji colony, along with c lines, was established to accommodate the nat British officers, who were mostly locomotive driv In today's Rumbaugh, mill workers and low-le railway employees were housed.Due to a lack colonial events, many sectors continue to strug from cramped living quarters and poor sanitatio unlike the anji colony with lush green spaces people to live in). In order to prevent public acce the British built a massive wall surrounding the A colony, which still stands today. These walls a allowed for the expansion of informal communit within tight settlements, diminishing the amo of public space in the Rambagh region.Even a independence, the wall continues to have impact on the city, dividing neighborhoods w diverse socio-political origins. Even when view Ajni colony in isolation, individual homes appear be split off from the colony. In the end, this pa doesn't really add to the city's fabric, that is to ma come together and live..

4 NEIGHBOURHOOD : SPECIFIC LENSES 4.1 Economic and Cultural spaces After studying the city in detail, we felt there was a great scope for developing cultural and economic spaces that add merit to the existing city fabric and also become a source of human-level interaction in the city. These economic and cultural spaces include:

4.1 A Yashwant Stadium Previously a cricket and football stadium, it has now become a commercial hub in the city. There are shops all around the stadium, which include automobiles, telecommunications, and multimedia. The streets alongside the stadium also have a similar typology. This stretch was previously famous for a street food juncture which was located right in front of the stadium, while the stadium was used for cultural events. The stadium and the food juncture thrived on each other. These stalls attracted people from all over the city, which added human interaction and value to a highly urbanized space. It was interesting to see three different urban systems come together. Soon after, this space, which was used by the food stalls, demanded paid parking for the commercial shops, and all the stalls were relocated to different parts of the city, losing their value as a unit that brought people together. In no time, the stadium was no more a space for cultural events. We see great potential in the site which can be developed into a space that can cater to all the present needs while retaining the existing character that developed this space in the ﬁrst place.

4.1 B Sitabuldi Market Sitabuldi is one of the busiest street markets in the city. The Sitabuldi ﬂower market once used to ﬂourish in all its glory, which was among the most popular markets in Vidarbha and the neighbouring states of Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh. Set up in 1995, the market has now turned into a bane for the traders operating there. Gross mismanagement prevails in and around the market, which has now diminished its glory. After a metro crossing was constructed at Sitabuldi, dark and dull spaces were also formed below the junction, which once used to be a lively well lit street with public involvement. This junction was previously a connection between the variety square, the main market street and the inner market lanes. A new mall is proposed in this area, which has only worsened the conditions. It has killed the existing street market typology and sits like a dead block in a fairly exciting space. There is a need to re-look at the way in which we design such commercial spaces because they completely disregard the existence of a public realm right next to them.

Semester 7 l Nagpur l Urban Design

4.1 C Trillium Mall The newly created trillium mall was intended to be a space that prioritised the public realm over being a chunk that only lets visitors to utilise the mall's internal spaces and not the outside spaces. It is like a pseudo public space. There is absolutely no buffer space between the main road and the mall that will allow this mall to function in the way in which it was imagined it to be.

4.1 D Budhwaar Market Budhwaar market is one of the city's oldest markets. It was founded 50 years ago when an inner narrow gauge railway was built to facilitate export and import within the city. This market is located in the heart of a residential neighbourhood. Because the market takes up the majority of the ground, inhabitants in this region do not have access to a community space or a garden. On some days it encroaches roads and footpaths making it difﬁcult for people to commute. This facility can provide the desired public space for the citizens while also providing a marketplace system that can handle garbage disposal as well.

Map 24 :- Economic and cultural spaces

Semester 7 l Nagpur l Urban Design

4.2 Open Spaces and Parks We've identiﬁed a number of open spaces and public parks in the city that are created in such that they have a dead reinforced wall around their limits, preventing interaction between the outside and inside spaces. There seems to be no relationship between them, and it works merely as a green patch that could be placed anywhere on the planet. These parks could be re-designed with a neighbourhood centric approach while the open spaces which are currently unused can be turned into spaces that could serve the community around it.

4.2 A Dhantoli Garden Dhantoli Garden is surrounded mainly by hospitals and residential structures. The corners of this garden are fortiﬁed. Because of this fortiﬁcation, this garden does not seem inviting. It can be re-designed with proper resting places for hospital visitors and could incorporate the street food carts that sit alongside its boundaries.

4.2 B Indian Gymkhana Ground Dhantoli Garden is surrounded mainly by hospitals and residential structures. The corners of this garden are fortiﬁed. Because of this fortiﬁcation, this garden does not seem inviting. It can be re-designed with proper resting places for hospital visitors and could incorporate the street food carts that sit alongside its boundaries.

4.2 C Ecological Corridor The rise of compact towns in Rambagh is a product of British planning policy, which aimed to create a division between oppressors and rulers. These villages are densely packed, with houses pressed up against one another, and there is no sense of community or belonging among the residents. Exclusion of open areas, as well as a lack of space for children to play or engage in any type of social interaction, can be seen.As a result, an ecological corridor can be quite effective in bringing together disparate compact settlements. These places could also serve as an extension of their houses, bringing nature back into the midst of the chaos.

4.3 Industrial Expanse Due to the establishment of railways by the British, along which then the city was laid. Imamwada was established as an important centre to import and export wood due to its proximity to the railways. This business was mainly owned by Patel community who migrated from Kutch. Also Empress mill and Model mill were set up towards the north of Imamwada . In the due course a typology has emerged which consists of people working and living in this same premise .

Semester 7 l Nagpur l Urban Design

4.4 Sports Infrastructure When we looked around the city, we noticed that it lacked sports infrastructure. The outdoor sports stadiums in the city centre are used for cultural and commercial reasons, while a huge indoor stadium named Mankapur Indoor Stadium is located in the city's northern extremity. However, as the suburbs in the southernmost regions increase, there are fewer open spaces for children to play in, and fewer indoor facilities. It could encourage young people to participate in extracurricular activities, giving them additional possibilities to grow physically.

4.5 City and its Theory of Exclusion When the British ﬁrst laid railway tracks in Nagpur, they intended to divide the city into two halves, one for Indians and one for the British. They used thick reinforced walls to isolate their regions from the Indian areas. Civil lines, Dhantoli, Ajni, and the GMC campus were British regions with little Indian engagement. This class division may still be seen today, even after independence. Even today, the West is divided from the other side of the loha pool.Rambagh and Ajni, GMC campus and Hanuman Nagar also has similar divide. More effort should be put forward in order to bridge this gap. Diagram

There are some areas in our neighbourhood with importance of pedestrian access. Such areas include the Medical square, sitabuldi and the Budhwar market. Restricting vehicular access here could prove effective. A cycle trail is aid along the entire neighbourhood starting at the Dhantoli garden. It continues further and runs alongside the nag river which can be developed as a nature trail. The cycle train connects all the proposed projects together and is a good initiative for people to feel safe while riding cycle. It ﬁnishes at the medical square. To increase connectivity of the proposed ideas, new one way roads are proposed which bridges between the main roads and the proposed projects.
