10. Inclusiveness in planning for social infrastructure
Porous or semi‐porous
compound walls are
recommended to allow
street visibility.
Walkable blocks should be
promoted by limiting block
sizes, providing
non‐motorized transport or
pedestrian routes
Single land use zones tend to
be “dead” in the night. Mixed
land uses should be
encouraged which will
generate street activity
throughout the day and also
reduce walking distances
Amenities like daycare
centers, pre‐primary and
primary schools, primary
health facilities, local markets
should be within 5‐15 minutes
walking distance.
