02 NMC PARK

Nagpur, Maharashtra Landscape Design | SEM VII Pocket spaces like the NMC Park are of great importance to the urban community living around it as it gives them access to nature and strengthens the local character. These spaces should be inviting and safe.

This site was chosen in order to redesign and revitalize the neglected and declining areas. The existing site conditions do not fully cater to all the age groups and can be greatly improved.

The site can be redesigned to be a more welcoming and aesthetic space which provides the users a space for rest and relaxation.
