SITE DIMENSION GROUP K-5 MEGHA I RITESH I VIBHA

Abstract A waterfront of any city is a major avenue for recreation opportunities and open green spaces within city development from an urban perspective.

The urban waterfronts in the form of riverfront development have been long neglected. These urban forms have undergone a dramatic metamorphosis and cities are turning to the development of their rivers and lakes. To improve the quality of the city’s urban life and enhance cultural growth; riverside promenades are being developed with a view that such planned spaces would attract investment, tourism, employment and add to the economic growth of the city

Concept “BUBBLE-An effort to make it a Socio-Interactive space” A bubble is an encloser, an individual pocket. When combined, it forms a larger bubble. Similarly, when different activities are introduced in a space, it tends to form a place. We want to bring diverse Individual pockets (bubbles) of various activities together, to forms a single pocket.

Vision Create a place where people can explore and feel the sense of calmness away from city hustle, they can come at riverside and feel peace and engage themselves into different activities.

• Improve Connections between Riverfront and the City: Increase public access to the riverfront and the river, increase connections between riverfront neighborhood.

• Develop key places to link neighborhoods to the river • Accentuate and reinforce linkages • Revitalize riverfront • Reduce risk of erosion and flooding in flood prone neighborhoods • Stop the flow of sewage, keep the river clean and pollution-free
