Establishing structural links between east and west which connect major commercial centres, institutional areas and also strengthen the connection of the city to other cities( Gurgaon and Noida) and surrounding villages. A series of urban links of high density and mixed use which have a possibility of supporting public transportation network.
- Recognizing the existing village clusters( within some of the sectors) and integrating them with these new linkages.
The potential and need for connecting across the commercial centers of the city shall be my main focus for design project. I imagine the network of public spaces comprising of these major structural linkages( high density, faster mobility, more dynamic land use etc.) and then secondary linkages into the existing residential quarters.
Zooming in towards detailed interventions:
The first site is a cross section through the city connecting the major centers that is old Faridabad bazaar and NIT-5. The existing connection is one of the older links and is heavily used by local working people.
The second site presents great potential for connecting across the bazaar of NIT-1 with the planned commercial center of Sector12 ( presently has some Malls), the mini secretariat area( cluster of government offices and law court) and also gives a direct link across the irrigation canals.
