The document analyzes the street system in Indore, highlighting its growth, utilization for various functions, and existing infrastructure, such as pedestrian pathways and street lighting. It identifies congestion points, traffic management issues, and potential areas for improvement, including the need for more parking spaces and accessibility measures. The study emphasizes the relationship between road conditions and urban ecology, proposing developmental changes for enhanced mobility and public safety.

1. STREET STUDY
INDORE is a city with organic growth expanding along the rings
and radials. Streets form the nervous system of the city. The
health of the city and its inhabitants is dependent on its street.
The span of street from Vijaynagar Square to MR-10 Square
forms the Major Road of the city that is sub-arterial. This street
connects the AB Road to Super corridor. The distance between
the two squares is 3.2 km and the average width ranges from 9
m to 16 m

These drawings and graphs depict the building typology
based on
Building use- Entire road had a variety of buildings based
on their use . We can find Commercial complexes, Hotels,
Hospitals, Banks Restaurants, Temples Community
Centres as well as residential buildings
Building construction – With the variety of uses comes use
of different types of building having different heights and
different material.
All of this creates a unique and varying profile for the road.
Which in turn gives different fabrics, views and sections of
a single road at all junctions
