    Nehru Place Urban Space Analysis PDF

    Nehru Place in Delhi began as a district center in the 1960s but has grown into a major commercial hub with footfall from across Delhi and beyond. It is well connected by public transit but lacks integration, with transport stops separated from the area by parking. Pedestrian access is poor, with narrow entry points and an absence of pedestrian priority. The large population density and long distances most visitors travel have overwhelmed the original infrastructure design. There is a lack of public spaces, seating, and greenery despite some underutilized open areas, contributing to an unpleasant visual environment.

    NEHRU PLACE

    URBAN SPACE ANALYSIS


    BY SHIJO JOSE
    INFLUX SOURCE: Shakti Foundation
    FIGURE GROUND SHOWING NEHRU PLACE AND ITS NEIGHBOURHOOD

    PUBLIC TRANSPORT
    • Nehru Place District
    Centre was developed in
    early 60s by Delhi
    Development Authority to
    serve the people in and
    around the district centre.

    • But over the years with


    rapid growth and
    changing functions, the
    District Centre has now
    started functioning as a
    city centre with footfalls
    from other parts of Delhi
    and beyond.

    • The famous Bahai faith


    Lotus temple is also
    located close by.

    PUBLIC TRANSPORT
    • Nehru Place is
    accessible by all forms
    of public transport, as it
    lies next to the Outer
    Ring Road.

    • This unplanned and


    unmanaged growth has
    led to issues like
    dilapidated infrastructure,
    increased use of private
    vehicles despite being
    well connected by public
    transport systems and
    increased marginalisation
    of non-motorised
    transport users.

    ENTRY/EXIT POINTS
    • Nehru Place District Area has
    several Entry/Exit points, as shown
    in the adjacent image.

    • However, most of these are almost


    inconspicuous and do not have any
    clear signage.

    • These entry points are narrow and


    unwelcoming.

    CIRCULATION
    PLAN
    • There are 5 major
    parking lots located
    on the ground.

    • Pedestrian entries
    are through the
    parking or directly off
    a main road.

    CIRCULATION PLAN SOURCE: Shakti Foundation


    10m of
    footpath…. Just
    for pedestrians!
    After that ,
    share the road!

    LANDSCAPING
    • Parks lack defined
    sitting spaces. The
    very few that exist
    are broken.

    • Seats lack shading.

    • A singular walkway
    has trees in the
    centre that provides
    some amount of
    shading.

    • The trees are mostly


    located at periphery
    and do not create
    any buffers.

    • Overall, the district is


    not visually
    appealing and lacks
    well shaded areas,

    SITE SECTION
    • Built to open Area varies from 1:1 to 1:3 throughout the complex.

    • The public area is well lit with good ventilation.

    SITE SECTIONS SOURCE: Dept. of Urban Design, SPA


    Integration of Public Transport Distance covered by people to
    reach Nehru Place
    • Public transportation drop off and pick up points are separated from Nehru
    Place by a circumference of parking.

    • To go to Nehru Place from the metro station, people have to cross a busy road
    with no red lights or zebra crossings. There is no pedestrian access from these
    public transport.

    • There is no designation for taxis/cars or official autos


    0-2 2nd Qtr
    • Lack of integration and chaos discourage people from using public transport
    and increase in private cars leads to parking issues.
    Land Usage Pattern
    • 93% of people who come to Nehru Place do not live in a 2km. The infrastructure
    of Nehru Place was not designed to cater to this and leads to chaos.
    • The land usage pattern of Nehru
    Place has changed drastically, due
    to which the population density has
    also increased.

    • Most of the spaces need to be re-


    planned according to current usage.

    • Most people come to Nehru Place,


    shop, and then go to adjoining food
    courts due to lack of public spaces.
