K R Market (Krishnarajendra Market), also known as City Market, is the largest wholesale market dealing with commodities in Bangalore, India. It is named after Krishnarajendra Wodeyar, a former ruler of the princely state of Mysore. The market is located in the Kalasipalya area, adjacent to the Tipu Sultan's Summer Palace, on Mysore Road at its junction with Krishnarajendra Road. It is the first locality in the whole of Asia to get electricity and considered to be one of the biggest flower markets in Asia.[1]
History
K R Market was established in 1928. The location of the market is said to have been a water tank and then a battlefield in the 18th century during the Anglo-Mysore Wars.[2] From the British era, two buildings remain, at the front and back of the market area.
Present day
A new concrete 3-story structure was erected in the 1990s between the two older buildings to provide more space for vendors and better overall conditions. At the basement is an underground parking above which stand three commodity-specialised floors: flowers and vegetables on the lower ground floor, dry goods on the upper ground floor and tools and machine-tools accessories on the first floor.[3]K R Market (Krishnarajendra Market), also known as City Market, is the largest wholesale market dealing with commodities in Bangalore, India.

Kawran Bazar is a wholesale market in Dhaka, Bangladesh established in the late 18th century. It currently covers 13.5 hectares and provides work for 20,000 people. The market handles approximately 50 million taka in daily transactions. There have been proposals since the 1990s to relocate the market to reduce congestion and pollution, but they have not been implemented. The document analyzes the existing conditions of Kawran Bazar, including land use patterns, building typologies, transportation networks, environmental pollution, and waste management systems. It finds issues like lack of zoning, mixed uses, traffic congestion, low greenery, and an inadequate sewerage system.
Jaipur was founded in 1727 by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II as the new capital of Amber. He followed principles of Indian architecture and urban planning in its design. Jaipur is laid out in a grid pattern divided into nine blocks based on the concept of a mandala. The central streets and intersections form the structure of the city. Key reasons for founding Jaipur were defense needs, availability of resources, and allowing Amber to expand. The city's architecture and public spaces still reflect its original planned design.

This document provides a plan to upgrade the Sabra Market in Beirut, Lebanon. It begins with a brief history of the market and analysis of current issues like waste management and space organization. The vision is to organize the market spatially and functionally from within through a strategic intervention. A two-phase plan of action is outlined, with phase one focusing on a prototype design, building trust, and setting an agenda. Possible scenarios for intervention in phase two include improving market organization, waste management, and infrastructure while raising awareness. The goal is an "organized chaos" that upgrades the market in a way respectful of existing patterns and dynamics.

Chandigarh was established as the capital of the new states of Punjab and Haryana in India. It was planned by the French architect Le Corbusier as a modernist planned city based on concepts of functional zoning and urban design. The city was divided into sectors based on Corbusier's concepts, with strict separation of residential, industrial, and recreational areas. Key features included superblocks, open green spaces, and a hierarchical road network designed for segregated pedestrian and vehicular movement. While pioneering modernist planning for India, the design also faced some criticism for not respecting local culture and traditions.
George Town is the historic core area of Chennai that has experienced traffic congestion, poor infrastructure, and lack of land due to commercial activities and narrow streets. The Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority has undertaken several redevelopment strategies for George Town, including removing encroachments, shifting wholesale markets to Koyambedu to reduce congestion, and road widening projects while protecting heritage buildings. Lessons for redeveloping other congested areas include promoting mixed land use and improving infrastructure.
Jaipur is the first planned city in India, designed based on principles in ancient Hindu texts. It is laid out in a grid of nine blocks divided by wide streets, with the central axis running from the Sun Gate to the Moon Gate. Major roads are 33m wide and divide the city into sectors. Narrower streets and alleys further divide sectors into neighborhoods. Markets and public squares are located at the intersections of major roads. The uniform facades along main streets and pre-planned dimensions of streets and blocks give the city a coordinated appearance.
Jaipur was established in the 18th century by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II as the new capital of Amber. There were military and geographical reasons for changing the capital, as the old city of Amber was located on a congested hill. Jai Singh also wanted the new capital to be a strong political statement on par with Mughal cities, and serve as a thriving center of trade. The layout of Jaipur was carefully planned according to Hindu texts, with major roads intersecting in a grid pattern divided into nine blocks. The pink color of the city's buildings was likely intended to cut glare or imitate Mughal architecture, and welcome a British dignitary. Squares called chaupars
The document summarizes information about Borivali Market in Mumbai, India. It describes Borivali as a suburban area of Mumbai with over 1 million inhabitants. It has a railway station that serves 2.5 lakh people daily and a major vegetable market located 0.05km from the station. The market currently causes congestion as vendors have set up stalls on the road after the municipal market building became inaccessible. The document proposes a design to organize the market and traffic by moving the bus stand and rickshaw stand in and integrating the municipal office and market into a single building with parking.
Chandigarh town planning final 24.12.16parshwa shah
Chandigarh was established as a new planned city in India to be the capital of Punjab. It was envisioned as a symbol of modern India free from traditions of the past. Le Corbusier was hired to design the city and create a master plan. He divided the city into sectors with strict zoning for residential, commercial and industrial areas. The sectors are self-sufficient units connected by a hierarchical road network. Open spaces, including a large leisure valley, were incorporated into the design. The city has grown according to the master plan and remains well-connected regionally.
Mysore is the third largest city in Karnataka, located 146km from Bangalore. It has a population of over 880,000 spread across 128 square kilometers.

PROJECT LOCATION
3. INTRODUCTION
Krishna Rajendra Market (K.R. Market) is one of the oldest markets in the city and the first place to be
electrified in the country.
K.R. market is a hub for dealers and merchants of grains, vegetables, fruits, and flowers.
Over the years, the market has become congested, messy and is in complete disarray due to lack of proper
maintenance.
Vendors trade their wares on footpaths and abandon the waste at the end of the day.
The market generates 80 tones of waste daily.
Since the vendors occupy most of the space there is no sufficient space for the customers to walk.
There is a need to organize the vendor location, provide parking space for cars and two wheelers, provide a
designated location for dumping of garbage and collection of garbage, provide space for movement of
vehicles and goods vehicles and also improve the public transportation facilities in the vicinity.
Some of the shops in the upper floors have not been occupied by the vendors and if they had occupied the
upper floors there would have been less congestion in the ground floor.
4. HISTORY AND CURRENT SCENARIO
• K.R. Market locally known as city market is named after the King Krishna
Rajendra Wodeyar.
• This market was built in 1921 and it is one of the Bangalore oldest market.
• The bustling K.R. Market was once a battlefield. Soon after the British
occupation of the Bangalore Fort, the battlefield was made a public place.
• Since the area was a buffer zone between the native town which is at
present the Avenue Road and the fort area, it turned into a market place.
• Since there used to be a platform known as Siddikatte, merchants and
vendors from the neighboring villages came here to sell their produce and
it soon grew into a big market.
• In 1921, a new market building named after the King Krishna Rajendra
Wodeyar of Mysore was built (Mathrubhumi Yearbook 2014). Prior to
1920, the existing K.R. Market was a collection of low roofed, narrow
zinc sheet sheds.
• In January 1907, the Diwan and other important officials visited the
market and suggested that the municipality should build a new market and
that the market should be shifted to a new place as the present location
was dirty and unhealthy.
5. HISTORY AND CURRENT SCENARIO
• Later the members of the Bangalore City
Municipality visited the market and also the site
where the new market was proposed to be built near
Kalasipalya. In view of the unsuitability of the new
site, which was made up of soil formed by filling up
of the old fort trench and considering the
convenience of the public in general, municipal
councilors unanimously decided to improve the
existing market instead of building the new one.
• The members of the Bangalore City Improvement
Committee at their meeting on 7/1/1914 took a
decision to acquire three low lying unsanitary
streets of Siddikatta near the market and include
them in the proposed enlarged and improved
market.
• They also decided to acquire a number of private
shops adjoining the market. The new market was
designed by Sri. Lakshminarasappa on the model of
Sir Stuart Hogg Market of Calcutta with certain
modifications and was opened on October 11, 1921

7. • KR MARKET, ALSO KNOWN AS THE KRISHNA RAJENDRA MARKET, IS THE
LARGEST WHOLESALE MARKET DEALING WITH COMMODITIES IN
BANGALORE. IT WAS ESTABLISHED IN 1928 AND NAMED AFTER THE
FORMER RULER OF THE MYSORE PRINCELY STATE.
• THE MARKET IS LOCATED IN THE KALASIPALYAAREA, ADJACENT TO TIPU
SULTAN'S SUMMER PALACE, AND IS CONSIDERED ONE OF THE BIGGEST
FLOWER MARKETS IN ASIA. IT IS A HISTORIC ECONOMIC CENTER AND ONE
OF THE OLDEST MARKETPLACES IN INDIA.
• THE MARKET OPERATES AS AN OPEN MARKET SYSTEM, WITH FARMERS
DIRECTLY SELLING THEIR PRODUCTS TO WHOLESALERS AND RETAILERS.
IT HELPS LINK RURAL PRODUCERS TO THE URBAN MARKET. HOWEVER,
THE MARKET HAS FACED CHALLENGES IN MAINTAINING SANITATION
AND ORGANIZATION.
• IN 1997, A NEW THREE-STORY BUILDING WAS CONSTRUCTED TO IMPROVE
THE MARKET ENVIRONMENT, BUT THE DESIGN FAILED TO ADEQUATELY
ACCOMMODATE ALL THE VENDORS. AS A RESULT, MANY VENDORS
MOVED BACK TO THE SURROUNDING STREETS, LEADING TO SPILLOVER
AND TRAFFIC CONGESTION.

OTHER IMPORTANT MARKETS SURROUNDING MARKET
12. ACCESSIBILITY TO MARKET SPACE
• THE BANGALORE METROPOLITAN TRANSPORT
CORPORATION (BMTC) OPERATES SEVERAL BUS ROUTES
THAT PASS THROUGH OR TERMINATE AT KR MARKET.
BUSES LIKE 15G, 215-C, 215X, 291R, 316C, AND 77 G-10
PROVIDE CONNECTIVITY TO THE MARKET.
• THE KRISHNA RAJENDRA MARKET METRO
STATION, WHICH IS PART OF THE NAMMA
METRO GREEN LINE, IS LOCATED CLOSE TO
THE MARKET AND PROVIDES EASY ACCESS
VIA THE METRO SYSTEM.
14. EXISTING MARKET PLAN
• The existing plan shows the K.R. Market Building, Adjacent Buildings and
Vacant/Unutilized Land.
• Since the vendors are occupying most of the places like footpaths, the spaces in
and around the market, there is not sufficient space for the people to walk.
• The movement and parking of the goods vehicles is also not systematic because of
which it creates a lot of congestion in the market.
• Lot of garbage are thrown away by the shopkeepers, vendors and goods vehicles
people because of which movement of people is difficult and also there is a bad
smell.
• Photos show the existing condition of the market at various locations like north
side, south side, east side and west side.
• Lot of conflict points are created because the movement of people and vehicle are
not segregated
16. CURRENT PEDESTRIAN AND VEHICULAR MOVEMENT
• current pedestrian and vehicular movement is not systematic because of which
it creates a lot of conflict points between the pedestrians and vehicles.
• The goods vehicle keeps coming to the market to deliver goods and because of
the congestion inside the market they will not be able to deliver the goods and
move out of the market fast.
• Since the vendors occupy most of the space in and around the market the
pedestrians cannot move freely and they have to wade through the vendor and
vehicles.
• The pedestrians cannot move freely in the market because of lack of space due
to haphazard occupation of space by vendors, movement of goods vehicle,
garbage dumped everywhere etc.
• On the west side of the market there is congestion due to road side vendors on
both sides and undefined unloading activities.
• On the south side (front side) of the market there is congestion due to vendors
on both sides, two way vehicular movement and pedestrian movement.
18. EXISTING BUS STAND
• There is a public transportation (bus) facility in K.R. Market which has network to different parts of
the city, but there is no proper bus shelter for the passengers and the movement of buses is also not
systematic.
• There is a need to provide a small bus terminal with bus shelters and bus bays.
• Since there is heavy traffic in and around the K.R. Market the haphazard movement of buses create lot
of congestion near the market.
• So the movement of buses should be streamlined, space should be provided for the buses to park and
proper bus shelter should be provided.
20. CURRENT PARKING SPACE
• K.R. Market has underground parking which is not maintained by
anybody. The shopkeepers and the parking contractors say that the
building is not maintained and it has been more than 2 years since that
building got painted and also the spider webs and garbage are all over the
parking place.
• The parking at grade caused a lot of inconvenience to the incoming
BMTC buses. The underground parking can accommodate 800 two
wheelers resolving the congestion caused during peak hours.
• The parking can be accessed from the upper concourse – the subway. The
underground vehicle parking area is dilapidated, stinking and garbage-
strewn.
• Vehicles, which have not been removed for months, are piled in corners,
considerably reducing the usable space in the 600 square feet parking
lot.
• In addition to the garbage, the floor is damp with water leaking from the
pipes running down the walls. Contrast this with the swanky parking
areas in shopping malls and is the reason why shopkeepers in the market
are worried.
21. • The area is so filthy and unhygienic that shoppers may not want to come
here at all. Particularly during rainy season when the roads are flooded and
garbage accumulates, making it hard to take vehicles out of the parking lot.
• During festivals, it takes around one hour just to get out of the market area.
Hawkers occupy most of the pavement at the exit area, making traffic
regulation and clearing of garbage difficult.
• Beneath the pavement is a drain clogged with garbage, visible due to the
many missing concrete slabs on the pavement. This garbage flows out onto
the roads during rainy season, worsening the situation. Moreover, uncovered
drains pose huge health and life risks. “
• The BBMP Commissioner, during his visit seven months ago, had promised
that the parking area will be renovated. However, no action has been taken
so far”.
• Unless renovation work is taken up and traffic rules followed stringently, the
bustling market area is likely to become redundant in the long run. The 'No
Parking' area on S.J.P. Road, stretching from Chandra Bhavan to Masjid
area, has vehicles parked most of the time.
22. CURRENT VENDOR LOCATION
• Figure shows the current vendor location.
The vendors occupy spaces in the south,
north, east and also on the west side of
the market.
• The vendors occupy even the footpath
leaving no space for the people to move
around.
• The vendors do not sit in a systematic
way and also they don't occupy uniform
space.
• Each vendor occupies space depending
upon the merchandise he sells.
• Most of the vendors sit on the floor
which is dirty and badly maintained.
• There is also no shelter for the vendors
during the rainy season as well as in the
hot summer.
• Different photos shows the unsystematic
way of seating of vendors, lack of shelter,
irregular space occupation etc.
23. CURRENT SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT PRACTICE
• At present the garbage is dumped all over the place.
• There is no systematic way of collection, dumping and disposal of the garbage
because of which the movement of pedestrians is very difficult and also the
market stinks.
• The vendors who come to sell their goods will leave all their waste at the end of
the day without throwing the garbage in the dumpster.
• During rainy season it becomes still worst.
25. FUNCTIONAL ANALYSIS
• Early Morning Activity: The market is most active before 6 a.m., with vendors
starting their day's work before dawn.
• Flower Market: The flower market is a significant part of KR Market, with
vendors selling various types of flowers, including jasmine, marigold,
kanakambaram, and more.
• Open Market System: KR Market operates as an open market system, allowing
for the free exchange of goods between buyers and sellers.
• Linking Rural to the Market: The market serves as a bridge between rural and
urban areas, facilitating the sale of produce from rural areas to urban consumers.
• Diverse Range of Products: The market offers a wide range of products,
including flowers, vegetables, fruits, nuts, dried fruits, fresh peas, broad beans,
lemons, and pooja items.
26. • Electricity and Infrastructure: KR Market was the first locality in Asia to get
electricity and is considered one of the biggest flower markets in Asia.
• British-era Buildings: The market features two buildings from the British era,
one at the front and the other at the back of the market area.
• Modern Structure: A new concrete 3-story structure was erected in the 1990s
between the two older buildings to provide more space for vendors and better
overall conditions.
• Commodity-specialised Floors: The market has a basement with an
underground parking lot, and the ground floor is divided into three
commodity-specialised floors: flowers and vegetables on the lower ground
floor, dry goods on the upper ground floor, and tools and machine-tools
accessories on the first floor.
• Flowers and Garlands: KR Market is known for its flower garlands, with
flower-garland makers working on the intermediate level of one of the central
lighting pits.
27. • Street Vendors: The market is surrounded by several street vendors selling
everything from clothes to street food.
• Transportation: KR Market is well connected by road, with bus routes and
taxis/auto-rickshaws available for transportation.
• Timings: The wholesale market is open early in the morning, usually around
4:00 AM, and closes by noon, while retail sections and street vendors open
around 9:00 AM and close around 8:00 PM.
• Festivals and Events: The market's timing varies and depends upon festivals,
holidays, and local events.
28. DETAILED ANALYSIS OF CURRENT PROBLEMS
• INTRODUCTION
• A detailed analysis was done regarding vendor location and movement, goods vehicle movement, movement of people,
parking, garbage disposal, public transportation etc., by making repeated visits to the market. A master plan was created
showing the vehicular movement, movement of people, adjacent buildings, vacant buildings etc., Separate drawings
showing the current vendor location, current parking spaces, current vehicular movement, existing bus stop etc., were
made in order the analyze each of the problems and come out with solutions.
• EXISTING MARKET PLAN:
• The existing plan shows the K.R. Market Building, Adjacent Buildings and Vacant/Unutilized Land. Since the vendors
are occupying most of the places like footpaths, the spaces in and around the market, there is not sufficient space for
the people to walk. The movement and parking of the goods vehicles is also not systematic because of which it creates
a lot of congestion in the market. Lot of garbage are thrown away by the shopkeepers, vendors and goods vehicles
people because of which movement of people is difficult and also there is a bad smell. Photos show the existing
condition of the market at various locations like north side, south side, east side and west side. Lot of conflict points are
created because the movement of people and vehicle are not segregated.
30. PROBLEMS AND ISSUES
• Due to unplanned location of vendors, they sit all over the place obstructing the movement of people.
• The garbage is littered all over the place by the shopkeepers and vendors.
• Even though parking is provided in the basement it is not well maintained and it is not sufficient.
• No maintenance of the building and services.
• There is congestion near BMTC bus stop.
• The second and third floors are vacant for the past 14 years which can be used. Vendors complained that
some BBMP officials do not want the shops given away because the money will then stop flowing to their
pockets.
• Six months ago there were four illegal flower shops at K.R. Market and now six more have come up.
• There is a rule that no shops be built in the open spaces left for ventilation but ten shops have come up at
these places.
• Due to lack of shelter the vendors suffer losses.
• Vendors complained that BBMP employees, police and local rowdies regularly collected hafta from them for
allowing them to run their businesses.
• Vendors complained that BBMP staff collected money from vendors every day and no receipts are given for
that.
• Vendors complained that garbage and vegetable wastes dumped in the market are not carried out every day.
• Vendors complained that there are mosquitoes, dogs, cattle and rats are all over the place and this poses a
serious health threat to shoppers and vendors.
• Vendors were not willing to use the top floors and if good facilities are provided they told they will use it.
31. CURRENT SCENARIO AND DEVELOPMENTS
• The Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) constructed a new market building more than a decade ago. But still its second
and third floors are vacant till today. Krishna Rajendra market is one of the biggest vegetable markets in the city. But the filth
and unhygienic conditions make visitors think twice before buying vegetables from there. Recently, more than 10 shops have come
up illegally at a vacant plot at the market. Flower and vegetable sellers are ready to do business from the second and third floors of
the building. But the BBMP officials are yet to take a decision. Since there is a proper planning, the vendors sit all over the place and
sell their goods obstructing the movement of people who come to the market. The shopkeepers and vendors litter the market with
garbage because of which the market is dirty. Set back areas of the building are being utilized in an unplanned manner by vendors
and for goods unloading. The waste littering is due to the absence of designated dumping space and inefficient cleanliness
initiatives by BBMP. The market houses around 500 stalls in its fruits, vegetables and greens sections and around 300 hawkers sell
their wares within the market which meets at least 40 percent of the demand for flowers, fruits, greens and vegetables in the city.
• On September 23, 2013, the students of Sri Krishna Pre-University and Degree College of ITI Layout embarked on a mission to
clean up the K.R. Market premises. Around 980 students removed the piled-up garbage scattered in and around the K.R. Market as a
part of the intensive cleaning programme conducted by Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike (BBMP). Their hard work paid off and
at the end of three hours of cleaning, they managed to collect four truckloads of wet and dry waste. This is the third week in a row
that a cleaning drive has been taken up in K.R. Market.
32. • building in panic. The officials of Indian Council for Historical Research have suggested that the BBMP can consult the
• Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) for conservation assessments.
• On 23rd
December 2013, the BBMP demolished the old gate at K.R. Market to enable a road to be widened. This created a panic
the hawkers because they thought they will be evicted. Apart from the gate, an old structure on the left side of the market was
also demolished. BBMP officials told that they are demolishing the structures in order to reduce traffic congestion.
• A feasibility report for multilevel car parking and some reorganization in K.R. Market has been prepared and being discussed
by Venkataraman Associates and BBMP officials. In the BBMP council meeting which was held on Monday, December 30, 2013
the feasibility report was presented. The feasibility report points out the planners failure to predict the future population and
demands which resulted in an over-crowded and congested market. Vast area in and around the market is largely left underused. The
principal architect says that there are more than 10 problems in the market resulted by lack of planning. Some of the proposed
transformations planned for the market are,
1) The old market building would be retained and the space would be better-organised.
2) A dilapidated building in the corner on the west end of the old market building would be demolished to make space for a wider
road.
3) The width of the Westside road (continuation of B.V.K. Iyengar road) will be optimized (road will be widened) and a ramp
will be constructed on the market side for the multi-level parking.
4) Entry and exit for the underground parking and pedestrians would be well-defined. The garbage dumps and other blockages
would be cleared.
5) Hawkers from the streets will be shifted to demarcated areas in the area, in front of the building and beneath the flyover.
33. 6) All the hawkers occupying the 8-metre wide road will be cleared and re-accommodated, and the traffic will be made to flow
easily on the road beneath the flyover.
7) A multi-level car parking will come up behind the market on the north-side. An estimated 250 cars can be accommodated in one
floor. Five floors have been proposed.
8) A loading/unloading dock will be constructed next to the multi-level car parking on the northside.
9) Existing vendors in this space where the car parking comes up will be given alternative shops to be constructed in the space
between old and new market buildings, on the south, northwest and east side of the market
10)The garbage dumping spots inside and outside the market will be cleaned.
11)A common waste management unit will be installed on east side of the market.
12)Another dumping/unloading spot beneath the flyover will make way for the hawkers plaza.
13)A two-wheeler parking is likely to come up beneath the flyover next to the hawkers plaza.
14)Vendors will have options like fully enclosed shelters, elevated slabs for display purpose and elevated slabs for lockable
storage.
15)A small park and some landscaping will be done in front of the old market building.
