Agra Ring Road: New Developments CITY MASTERPLAN & URBAN INFRASTRUCTURE

URBAN PLANNING

2015 - 2016

Agra Ring Road: New Developments The city of Agra assumes global presence in the Indian subcontinent with Taj Mahal as the city centre and strategically connected with Delhi, Jaipur, Gwalior, Aligarh, Kanpur and other urban nuclei of India.

Yamuna Expressway has reduced travel time between Agra and Delhi and the city is ready to expand in and around a new Ring Road connecting Taj Expressway, New Agra Ring Road and the newly built Agra - Lucknow Expressway. The quintessential development which is a product of this newly developed connection is an opportunity for the city to have an East - Gate entry to Taj Mahal; which earlier just had a West - Gate entry through the congested old city centre. Making of a new East gateway to the city is under way.

Counter magnets like migration from Tier II cities to metropoles, unemployment, lack of higher education facilities, and scarcity of public spaces were addressed. The idea is to create new opportunities for Agra to be able to retain the energy and talent of the youth within the city.

The radial road network of Agra needs to be upgraded to mobility corridor standards. Apart from widening and upgradation of road section for mixed traffic conditions, there are some missing links that need to be completed at 5km radius from city center which can serve as a potential inner loop increasing traffic thorough fare and reduce congestion.

The proposal is an attempt ro reverse these counter magnets and fuel sustainable development of this beautiful city of Taj to be able cater to young

YOUTH CITY MASTERPLAN

Agra Development Authority plans to develop a 1851 acres of land that lies at the juncture of Yamuna and eastern corridor of Agra inner ring road. The site enjoys direct connectivity through the proposed ring road and is around 12 kms from Taj city center. This new connection opens up a new access to Taj. Tourists coming from Delhi Taj expressway can bypass the congested city center and access Taj complex through eastern gate entry. Agra - Lucknow expressway link also lies on this segment.

Site Location: This approximately 1751 acres site enjoys direct connectivity through the proposed Agra Ring Road in the eastern sector of Agra and is around 11.5 kms from the popular urban center of Sanjay Place.

It is divided into 2 parcels

by Yamuna river; one parcel located on the north bank of 6 Yamuna and the second located on the south bank.

LOCATION Relationship with City Center

The new connection between Kuberpur and Fatehabad road brings about an opportunity to open up a new access to Taj. Tourists coming from Delhi via Yamuna expressway can bypass the congested city center and access Taj complex through an eastern gate entry.

The new city expansion must revolve around consolidating Agra with a self sustaining landuse.

DELIBERATIONS WITH THE CITY

Institutional developments and varied housing typologies were the center of focus for this new Youth City of Agra. Golf course residences, row housing, highrise high-end and commercial housing, educational institution campuses made the quintessential mainstay of the city scheme.

New functions added to overall strengthen Agra city were a sports city in the northern parcel, and logistics like bus station and transport nagar in the southern parcel. It was attempted to make the program for this new development holistic in terms of ingredients like an art an cultural hub, art and craft district, exposition centres, downtown facilties near the riverfront, modern road network and mobility planning.

In a nutshell, owing to the its proximity to national mobility corridors of tourism and business a self sustaining satellite town with affinity and attributive characters to the existing city centre is planned where the existing and future millenial generation of citizens will have plenty of opportunities to give the city of Taj a chance to become a nurturing haven for generations to come. This Youth City masterplan becomes a peculiar case of a progressive Transit Oriented Development (TOD) proposal for a South Asian setting.

TAJ GANJ REDEVELOPMENT

Taj Mahal is the focus of tourism in India and northern India. A Mughal masterpiece with its laurels all around the world. It sits on the crest of a congested old settlement of Taj Ganj which has its own loosely knitted grid patterns of narrow bylanes, market streets and dense fabric of houses which are in some way or the other dedicated and dependent for their livelihoods on Taj and its precinct.

entire stretch. Architectural interventions like Interpretation Centre, Museum, car parking, street furniture were the components of the scheme. Another segment dealt with an entirely new city banding strategy for Agra city world famous for the wonder of Taj Mahal.

TAJ GANJ URBAN REDEVELOPMENT

Agra Development Authority (ADA) proposed new architectural interventions on either side of Taj Mahal along the East Gate and West Gate roads and a whole streetscaping proposal for the

Taj Interpretation Centre was proposed that would throw light on historicity and the legacy of the Mughal era during which Shahjahan and the conditions under which he got Taj Mahal constructed. The relation of Agra as a seat of the Mughals with the then other centres of power like Calcutta, Lucknow, Allahabad and eventually Delhi. Another facility was the Mughal Museum which

would exhibit and elaborate upon the timeline of Mughal rule in the Indian subcontinent. Not merely famous for their magnanimous and collossal monuments; but India which largely is a Hindu nation owes a lot to the Mughal legacy pertaining to her sensibilities, welcoming nature, warmth, food, art, culture, clothing and much more.

Archohm, a architectural and urban design practice in NOIDA, Uttar Pradesh undertook this project for ADA in 2014. The complete City Branding and Streetscaping scheme is elaborated further which infuses in itself the true essence of Agra, Taj and the Mughal rule.

The entire highlighted stretch of roads have been poposed for streetscaping. Largely they have been prescribed for pedestrianization with only non motorized vehicles (NMV's) allowed to ply in the monument's precinct. The whole idea lies on the fact that approach roads to Taj Mahal needed to be of world class stature and adequate infrastructure and yet be able to retain the indigenous genius loci of time and era it belonged to.

Apart from the physical appearance of the precinct, Agra as the home of this wonder of the world and a everyday host to hundreds and thousands of tourists from all around the world needed a fresh ring of imageability. Something that can be reiterated as a brand and can house the minds of people visiting Agra.

Infrastructure and facilities like the interpretation centre and the Mughal Museum would accentuate the importance of this monument and propagate a detailed narrative of this historical marvel and era. To make the whole experience of the visit to this precinct a comfortable and delightful one, urban design features like street furniture including benches, signages, lamp posts, landscaped grass and shrub beds, bollards etc. were integral to the scheme which in turn made the entire neighborhood walkable.

One of the essential objectives of this revelopment project was to revitalize belongingness and upliftment image quotient of Taj Ganj precinct amongst local residents and adjaent slum dwellers. The refurbished district opened up improved avenues of business and employment under the light of this almost perennial tourism district experiencing heavy footfall at all times of the year.

The program of Taj Ganj redevelopment project indeed is a paradigmatic fusion of art, architecture, graphic design, history and event management bringing together stories of this art and heritage district all at one place .

2015 - 2016

City Branding City branding being a new concept in India, our design team in collaboration with Fabrique, a dutch design firm did for Agra. The exercise included a research on finding the essence of the city, creating an identity that could become a medium to convey multiple messages.

Role in the project : I was the part of graphics team along with research team.

Working with the art director deciding the wordmark in Hindi, english and urdu and making it of a same family in multiple workshops, brainstorming sessions for identity and its values. Further working on the brand manual, Typeface in all three languages.It continued with the Taj mahotsav tickets to posters. The main idea was to make identity visible to the city.

City branding is a new concept in India. Our design team collaborated with FABRIQUE; a Dutch design firm to conceptualize a new image and identity for the city of Agra. Extensive research was conducted to find the essence of the city to create an identity that would become a medium to convey multiple messages.

A "wordmark" in Hindi, English and Urdu was developed. Several workshop sessions were invested to make the visual appearance of these wordmarks from the same family. Eventually, a brand manual for Agra city was created with a same typeface in all three languages. This branded visual image of Agra was continued into the festival of Taj Mahotsav for posters, festival tickets, sculptures, t-shirts, phone apps etc.

In a country like india, submerged in centuries of historical and cultural layering, it becomes a challenge to brand its cities, particularly heritage cities, like agra.

Branding a city is all about understanding what a city is, of finding that one unifying idea that best articulates what it stands for and provides an instantaneous congnitive association. it's not just about a logo or slogan; it is a voice of the people, culture, personality and vision.

We extend deep gratitude to our Chief Patron Dr. Atul Chauhan, Chancellor, AUUP and President, RBEF and Patron Dr. Balvinder Shukla, Vice-Chancellor, AUUP, who have provided us with this platform to perform, and supported us on every step throughout the project. We thank Dr. D.P. Singh, Director, Amity School of Architecture and Planning (ASAP), who has been our guide and mentor to imbibe the culture of ‘quest’ in the institution. He has conceptualized and lead this project with astute attention so that ‘Ganga Kinare’ project and its findings become a database of documentation of the most important and revered river of the world.

We extend our admiration and acknowledgement to all the teachers, who were part of this project and have been the pathfinders to complex queries and shown immense diligence during coordination of this river project. We also thank for the support of the administration and staff members of the institute and the university, that helped the project to materialize in its present form.

Finally, we feel elated to cheer for the heroes of the project, the forerunners; our students who are the strength of this institution. Their meticulous planning, efforts and dedication to conduct this study has brought fruition to this project.

We would also like to acknowledge the efforts of the people throughout history, who have contributed to keep the spirit of ‘Ganga’ alive. We thank all the stakeholders, urban local bodies, municipal departments, waterwork departments, central and state government bodies in these nine cities for supporting the documentation of the project.

TEAM GANGA KINARE

Amity School of Architecture and Planning Amity University, Uttar Pradesh

FOREWORD This book takes us through the stages in development of the spirit, of Consciousness, Self-consciousness, Reason, and Spirit. The spirit of ‘Ganga’. This spirit leads us to a point where religion based, not on fact but on religious experience, takes over. The built environment at the physical edge of Ganga personifies this spirit from its origination to the destination, interweaving the memories of evolution of culture and civilization. The spirit of Ganga is inexorably a dynamic process, that sculpted human settlements time and again along its edges. It established itself as the etymon of diverse histories, culture, society, economics, behavior, and interpretations associated with the river and carves the space for dialectics evident in narratives, annals and anthologies.

Ganga, ‘a life’ is a journey of evolution and co-evolution departing the Himalayan foothills at Rishikesh to unite the ocean beyond Kolkata. This 2500 km of travel is a tale of ‘life holding the life’, and ‘spirit holding the manifestations’.

Over thousands of years, contextual urbanization originated as one of the domain of these manifestations.

This work is a quest to understand this manifestation along the banks (Kinare) of Ganga, titled as “Ganga Kinare: An edge of urban manifestation” Ganga.......a melody of analysis, action, exchange, journey, potential, tendencies, attachment, secret, divinity, form, proprietorship, diversity, devotion, despair and summary…... leading to liberation… ...”mokshadayini”. i

LIFELINE One among the seven major creases of Ganga, rises from the crown of the Himalayas making its way toward the east and down south through the Gangetic plains into the Bay of Bengal. This crease streams along expressing a diverse flux much like the diversity witnessed in our multi-cultural cities of North-Eastern India. In Haridwar and Varanasi, the Ganga's sacred personification as the Goddess Ganga is believed to have the power of remission of sins and attain Moksha whereas, in Kolkata and Chandannagar the river takes up the duties of the people with a modern twist.

With the bliss of gushing waters from highlands of Rishikesh, tourism and water sports emerged whilst the seasonally abandoned riverfronts of Allahabad exclaim its temporary visitors at the Kumbh Mela. The impact of gradual industrialization along the crease lays like a backyard to the river at Kanpur and Patna. While the city of Bhagalpur proclaims its title of the Silk City and climbing shoulders to convert into a smart city.

Being the node of development in all the nine cases, Mother Ganga serves as a lifeline to our cities of north eastern India.

The explicity of our lifeline was not only appreciated by us but also by foreign invaders from the West. Through the thick and thin, the river served her masters to its maximum potential and continues to do so. Today, cities have challenged Ganga to withstand unbearable tasks which impacts the effective relationship of river and the city. It is about time to spread awareness on the declining power of the river to its people as the People are the only hope of her rejuvenation.

GANGA KINARE With an agenda of investigation, exploration and research based learning, our school of architecture with 300 students and 28 faculties spread to various arms of the mother river-Ganga. All uniquely incredible stories, told in-distinct manner have been portrayed from the eyes of aspiring architects. The changing nature of riverfronts in various cities and bond between the people to this mighty waterbody is stronger on some edges as compared to others. Ganga, this evolution of her story is documented in terms of her influence on the edge as well as the edge’s influence on the river by analyzing the activities taking place at her edge and the nature of settlements unique to the city.

One pulls up his fishing boat abank to make a living of what he caught by dawn, and the other counts his earnings at the ferry counter.

While one holds the river on a holy pedestal, The other has turned his backs on her To face the imminent hijcking of industrialization.

While one dips at the bank of the holy, one’s choir of the weeks laundry is completed.

The river narrated its stories to all those who pay a heed.

Some powerful with belief and some barely remembered, On one, the hassle created among the people, One among the loud traffic, and another among the calm of silence.

Spite of all the differentiation on the physical aspect, The river narrated it’s stories to all those who pay a heed.

INTRODUCTION Rivers have been ubiquitously an inception for human settlements, nurturing them through food security, and livelihoods. Ganges plain spread over 255 million hectare of area, has spurred human settlements belonging to people from different culture, sect, and ideologies for over thousands of years. Originating in the state of Uttarakhand, meandering its way through serene landscape, flowing through densely populated northern plain and taking its final dip in the Bay of Bengal via West Bengal, it encounters radical geographical changes. The course undergoes constant change in its meaning in every city as well, when juxtaposed with city’s own identity, socio-economic activities, cultural and historical values.

These variables have given unmatched distinct architectural character to all cities edging the river Ganga.

With this observation Amity School of Architecture and Planning (ASAP) has initiated a research based project - Ganga kinare to explore the urban transformation of the most important urban centers located along River Ganga. The project encompasses the documentation of the city-river interface at 9 selected locations, viz. Rishikesh, Haridwar, Kanpur, Allahabad, Varanasi, Patna, Bhagalpur, Kolkata and Chandannagar and subsequently, a critical analysis of the influence of Ganga on their urban morphology. The project envisaged to capture the variable manifestations of the built environment against one constant component – the Holy Ganga, the symbol of purity.

Rishikesh

Rishikesh 409m Rishikesh lies at the toe of Himalayas where river Ganga leaves Shivalik Hills to finally enter the northern plains. The cultural landscape of this densely sprouted town is essentially a place of rumination that sits amidst serene and meditative geographical features. A gateway to the Garhwal region, Rishikesh originated from Bharat Mandir in around 748 A.D., is now a ‘Yoga Capital of the World' and host to many ashrams and ayurvedic institutes located on the bank of Ganga.

Parmarth Niketan in the picture is the largest ashram hosting pilgrims coming from all corners of the world providing serene and peaceful environment to meditate. The horizontal spread of this saffron colored Niketan, timid in its elevation tries to camouflage with the surroundings yet marks a contrast to the rich geographical landscape by its architectural language inspired from Indian Temple architecture.

Marked by the footprints of Lord Ram, Lakshman, Bharat, and Bhaghirath, in different areas, the town has evolved in three different parts: Tapovan, Muni ki Reti, Rishikesh City. The sprouted nature of the town gave birth to connections known as Lakshman Jhula and Ram Jhula, bridging the banks, thus encouraging growth on both sides of the town.

Land of penance and natural beauty 409m Once a land of penance for Lord Ram prior to his contesting journey to Lanka, Rishikesh is now a land of spirituality and religious importance.

Majestic steps of ghats here overlook the grand physical landscape, touching a less polluted and pious waters of Ganga provide the right setup and sanctity to the user to meditate.

The entire spread of natural beauty and the settlements at these foothills are gestalt than any architectural scale and human perception. Potential enough to inspire and impress. It is the town of mediation and self-flagellation where one comes to ‘re’ search oneself reassuring the power within and drawing it from this subtle yet strong river valley.

A performative landscape 409m Ganga Aarti; a way of treating this mighty river course as a personified goddess. 'Ganga Maiya'; mother Ganga who gifted lives to civilizations of north India.

Aarti performed just a few steps away from the river becomes a gesture of connection and respect. It is noteworthy that the quality of water in Rishikesh allows such a close encounter with this water deity.

Haridwar

Haridwar Ganga quenches the Indo-Gangetic plains of north India for the first time in Haridwar. Rishikesh and Haridwar are such centers of Hinduism where people from all over the world come searching for a utopian faith and inquiry, and if such dimension of a super power greater than all of us really exists.

314m

Unlike Rishikesh, Haridwar provides larger flat lands and flood plains for the river coming down from the hills to gush through and settle around plethora of religious activities in this old congested town.

The canal branching out of the river at the very beginning of the town mimics the essence of river which can be seen at Har ki Pauri.

Orange bridges floating in the air connecting island in the center and ghats at two opposite sides of the canal magnifies the importance and grandness of the ghats. They facilitate hundreds of people in masses to travel from different ghats to Har ki pauri to take holy dip and wash out their sins. Malviya dweep along with other temples would form a skyline which is an expression of Hindu temple architecture creating an aura of religious importance.

Skyline of Har ki Pauri framed by religious structures is a narrative and expression of Hindus’ strong belief in their religion.

The half constructed, unfinished temple is another example of people’s strong faith in

religion. Although unfinished and disputed it clearly shows the people's expression and continued urge to connect to a supreme power.

Upper road; the main street that connects the ghat area to new Haridwar city is a commercial street accommodating banks, hotels, and multi cuisine food joints can be located. This street is the commercial hub for the city and outsiders coming 314m with various motives mainly for the holy dip and flow the ashes at Asthipravah.

During morning and evening aarti time, the road witnesses traffic congestion caused by people and vehicles moving towards Har ki Pauri.

The main bazaar road is the immediate parallel road to the ghat area which caters to local market of the city. The encroachments of shops, and traffic congestion are major contributors in reducing right of way of the road.

Har Ki Pauri

Bridges take you from here and there; such is the scape of this town of Haridwar. Places of significance sprouted here and there due to mythical connotations with the larger cults.

At the end all roads lead to Har Ki Pauri. All roads lead to God. All roads lead to the quintessential event of faith.

Haridwar considered one of the God’s own city where people come for salvation has observed increasing pressure of floating population due to its religious importance. This significance of city has introduced multiple connections in the form of bridges weaving different parts of the city together.

The cultural landscape framed by bridges and ghats accessed only by pedestrians magnifies the importance and sanctity of Hindu culture and religion, thus creating memory of place and a place of memory.
