The document provides details for designing the Greater Noida District Centre, including its aims, major aspects of study, services and facilities, landscape components, job distribution to groups, and site analysis. Key points include preparing an urban form and design by integrating various disciplines. The district centre will include components like retail shopping, commercial offices, service centers, cultural complex, hotel, and landscaping. Site analysis is conducted and the allotted site is near Software Technology Park with many amenities.

3. WHAT IS DISTRICT CENTER ?
District centres – Smaller than town centres, but still with good access and providing a range of
services for the local district area. These usually comprise groups of shops, often containing at least
one supermarket. District Centres will also contain a number of other services, often including,
community services, financial services and some small scale leisure services.
The shape and type of a district center almost always closely reflect the city's history. Cities with
maximum building height restrictions often have a separate historic section quite apart from the
financial and administrative district. In cities that grew up relatively quickly and more recently, A city's
district center is usually typified by a concentration of retail and office buildings. The district center
usually has an urban density higher than the surrounding districts of the city, and is often the location of
the tallest buildings in the city.

9. LITERATURE STUDY• Urban Design integrates the process and
expertise of many related disciplines including
Art , Architecture , Landscape, Social services ,
Economics , Planning , Engineering and
Transport.
• upto 1960 - Planning & Architecture were
split.
• " Planning" concentrated on Land Use
Pattern & connected socio economic issues
(MACRO)
• "Architecture" concentrated on the design of
mainly the Buildings (MICRO)
As such there emerged a "Responsibility Gap"
where the design of general public spaces were
Concerned.
URBAN DESIGN thus came to Bridge in this Gap.
