It's case study report of the street study of Indore's 5-star hotel sayaji main road, m.p.This work is done me and my colleagues in the academic semester.

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

details, its pros and cons some things can be proposed for further
development of the road:
•Building barrier free pathways for ease of movement
•Plantation can be suitably selected as per its growth style its use
•Empty plots can be turned into parking spots to avoid on road
