INTRODUCTION
Hundreds of shops sell hardware from
computers to spare parts, Nehru Place
is a confluence of informal and
corporate labour, bringing 1,30,000
people daily from all corners of Delhi.
Kalkaji Complex was established in
1969 as a local community Centre,
intending to serve its neighboring
areas and decentralize Connaught
Place as a business hub. By the
1980s, it was renamed Nehru
Place, after Jawaharlal Nehru, and
functioned more as a regional
commercial, financial and business
centre. Today, it is one of Asia's
largest IT hubs.
What is known as Nehru Place
today was originally called Kalkaji
Complex. It was the biggest of all
the 15 District Centers proposed in
the 1962 master plan of Delhi.
Planned by Delhi Development
Authority, the 38-hectare site was
built at top the Aravalli mountain
range.The first building that
sprung up was Paras Cinema.

INTRODUCTION
Nehru place was planned to decentralize delhi's commercial activity from chandni chowk and Connaught
place .Over the years, it has become a large regional commercial centre. Even it traders from sri lanka come
to Nehru place to source materials
The main plaza of Nehru Place is a 4-storey complex, home to around 1500 offices, 400 registered IT
dealers, computer retailers, textile and digital printing shops, and eateries. The common areas of the plaza
are dotted with around 600 hawkers, There are around 100 buildings, most of which are in poor condition -
from the structure and paint to the dingy hallways and dysfunctional lifts. Initially, many large public sector
companies had their offices in Nehru Place, but have now shifted to Gurgaon and Noida due to dearth of
space.

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.

In the 1980s, there was a growing market for the IT
industry, yet unfriendly import policies on
electronic items. Nehru Place became the grey
market to meet these demands, providing a wide
range of IT products from international brands to
pirated software and repair services. Electronic
retailers from all over the country source their
goods from Nehru Place, making it one of Asia's
largest IT hubs.

KEYTO PARKING
Poor integration of public transportation, along with
subsidised rates for parking
invites a profusion of private vehicles.
In a thriving commercial center like Nehru Place, the demand for
parking is continually on the rise. Given this trend, increasing the
number of parking lots would only be a temporary fix.
CURRENT PARKING RATES:
` 10 FOR SCOOTER/4 HOURS
` 20-30 FOR CARS/4 HOURS
NEHRU PLACE WAS PLANNED FOR 5500 ECS
PARKING SPOTS. (BUT THEY WERE NOT MADE)
CURRENT DEMAND: 6621 ECS
PROJECTED DEMAND IN 2020: 9530 ECS
ECS=ESTIMATED CAR SPACE
PARKING SPILLOVER ONTO 14% OF ROAD AND
FOOTPATH AREAS
PROJECTED TO TAKE UP 20% BY 2020
A more sustainable solution is
to decrease the demand for parking by improving
public transportation connectivity, and increasing
parking rates.
Currently, Nehru Place attempts to meet
parking demands through unauthorised and
illegal parking in vacant areas and even
roads, making them narrow for moving
traffic.
TO PLAN PARKING FOR THE FUTURE MOST EFFICIENTLY,
PROJECTIONS OF DEMAND, AND AN UNDERSTANDING OF PARKING NEEDS
BY THE HOUR IS IMPORTANT. THE DESIGN WILL NOT ONLY ACCOMODATE
THESE PROJECTED DEMANDS, BUT ALSO DESIGNATE VEHICLES TO
DIFFERENT PARKING LOTS, ACCORDING TO DURATION OF STAY AND TIME
OF THE DAY. THIS WOULD AVOID THE MAZE THAT PARKING ATTENDANTS
HAVE TO NAVIGATE IN ORDER TO TAKE OUT PARKED VEHICLES.

LITERATURE STUDY
Public spaces are meant to
be universally accessible
by vehicles, pedestrians and
the physically challenged. The
accessibility at the periphery of
Nehru Place is poor due to
steps,
barriers, and spillover
parking. There are no entry or
exit signs, maps or info-graphics
to
direct visitors.
Nehru Place spans 38-hecatres,
yet much of the crowd is
concentrated around the main
plaza, where hawkers are set
up throughout the common
areas. Meanwhile, other areas
are under-utilized, neglected
and accruing garbage.

POOR MAINTENANCE
Once Nehru Place was built by DDA,
the buildings were
leased out for 99 years to
owners, who then sublet the
spaces as offices and shops. In
this trickling down of ownership,
nobody ends up accountable for
maintenance.
As a result, the buildings are in poor
condition, with broken structures,
peeling
paint, dysfunctional lifts, dark
corridors and inadequate
electric and water systems.
Toilets are shared by hundreds of
employees, and sometimes
even rented out as offices.
The common areas, which
are in DDA's jurisdiction,
are handed over to private
contractors to maintain. Since
this is not done properly, public
spaces are filled with garbage,
and the overall sanitation of
Nehru Place remains poor.
Nehru Place lacks
the infrastructure to manage the waste it
produces - from
packaging material to electronic
waste. Poor drainage systems
cause water from ACs and
restaurants to stagnate.
Garbage in the common areas,
created by visitors, eateries
and hawkers, remains in piles.
The garbage from offices is
taken outside Nehru Place.
Although ragpickers collect recyclable
items, there is no system in place to
manage waste. If garbage was managed
and segregated at source,
ragpickers could do their job
more efficiently.

Although DDA has the mandate to maintain
Nehru Place, the multiplicity of agencies involved
means that nobody is singularly accountable.
Between shop- owners, shareholders, and various
associations presentin Nehru Place, no one agency
has a sense of ownership, and there is no unified
body to oversee maintenance. Also, the revenue
generated, such as from parking, is not invested
back into Nehru Place.
