 INTRODUCTION

•This assignment of planning is an attempt to help neighbourhoods to

assess their strengths; identify their vision of a vibrant community.

•The developed environment in this project demonstrates how integrating

social, cultural, economic and environmental objectives can create
alternative urban experiences that would not otherwise be achieved under
current planning policies.

Overview of the problem

Aim: To prepare a Neighbourhood plan for a part of city in order to give

it the best possible benefits.

CITY DEVELOPMENT FEATURES

Total city area is 300 sq. km.

The city is divided in CBD and NONCBD areas
The development in last two decades in the form of town planning schemes.

SITE

Area 50 to 70 hectors
Distance from central zone 7 to 9 km.
Distance from industrial area 4 to 5 km.
Distance from railway and city bus stand 10 to 12 km.
Located in western part of the city.
Land price approximate 3000 to 4000 per sq. mt
Road linkage – well connected with majority activity areas and industrial areas
having facilities for mass urban transportation.
OBJECTIVES OF PROBLEM

To conduct field study for data collection and analysis through site visit.
To prepare neighborhood layout alternatives to identify the
implementable option.
To prepare proposals for residential as well as public buildings to select
best solution.
To design cluster level and neighborhood level open space.
To prepare estimate for proposed neighborhood.
 NEIGHBOURHOOD PLANNING

The concept of neighborhood unit was evolved due to the advent of

industrial revolution and degradation of the city environment caused due
to high congestion, heavy traffic movement through the city, insecurity to
school going children, distant location of shopping and recreation
activities, etc.

Planning a town with the smallest unit, which can stimulate the community
life and a sense of neighborhood among the inhabitants, is called the
Neighborhood unit. Purpose of neighborhood planning is to provide
opportunities to people for social cohesiveness.
The main objectives of Neighborhood planning.

To create social contacts and physical unity between families and
community.
To make the people socialize with one and another.
To provide a better environment with respect to beauty, health and
convenience.
To provide the basic day - to - day requirements to inhabitants.
To make the provision for life without friction.
To enhance the feelings of neighborliness
To enable the inhabitants to share the public amenities and recreational
facilities.
To support a safe and healthy environment within the neighborhood.
To provide safety and efficiency to road users and pedestrians.
To provide adequate parking facility for residents as well as visitors.
To support a local commercial Centre that maintains the
neighborhood character.
To maintain, enhance, and improve area for recreational activities.
To improve walking opportunities and ensure safe and pleasant
pedestrian use of recreational areas.

 Steps Involved To Develop The Proposal

Step1:
Decision regarding area
Visit to the site
Survey of the site and surrounding area
Trend analysis

Step 2:
Conceptual drawing
Comparison of the conceptual layouts (options prepared by each member
of the group)
Finding positive and negative issues and points of each layout.
Preparation of final conceptual layout
Step3:
Calculation of areas of each income group (EWS, LIG, LMIG,
UMIG, HIG)
Area requirement table formulation.
Layout to get built up area of each income group
Norms for NB planning study
Development over conceptual layout based on software.

Step4:
Preparation of landscape layout
Estimation of the individual units.
Preparation of service drawings
Street landscaping-
Preparation of the cross sectional elevation through the site.

Step 5:
Total cost of the project (estimation)
 SITE STUDY
The site is situated in the west
zone of Surat city. It is under
T.P. scheme no. 46.
Ramnagar is the closest
junction which is around 4 km
and most developed.
There is state highway which
connects site to the Surat city
from its western side.
There is 9 m wide road on the
northern edge of the site which
is proposed as a 60 m wide ring
road.
Tapi River is flowing on the
eastern side of the site.
 Neighbourhood Land Proposed Ring Road

Adjoining River bank High-rise Development nearby site

The area of site is 474351 sqm. There are very few plantations or any
type of vegetation on the site it is almost barren land.

There are few residence near jahangirpura junction like houses of workers.
They have to depend on commercial area of Ramnagar junction for their
daily needs. Hence we arrive at decision that neighborhood planning is
feasible on this site.

The proposal is worked out based on the basic principle of Neighbourhood planning
where the psychological and sociological aspects of the expected occupants are
considered.
The school has been centrally located in order that the children can approach the
school from their respective homes without the fear of accidents and the intrusion of the
vehicular movement.
The clusters for the dwelling units have been placed around the courtyards so that it
provides the environment and space to develop maximum contacts within the families.

 Conclusion

Perfection is something constantly striven for yet rarely

achieved. All we can do is try our hardest and learn from the
experience. The project on Neighbourhood planning is done to
an extent that it can be used as a guideline for future
development of Jahangirpura. This project gave an experience
of several shortcomings which can be diluted only with further
innovative thoughts and practical experience. The
neighbourhood project proposed is a systematic approach from
its conceptual layout to the final design and estimate.
