• High intensity land use in core city area has led to traffic congestion and breakdown of 
civic infrastructure. 
• The recreational value of these open spaces is diminishing with development. 
• Pressure of commercial development is currently being felt on the city’s built heritage . 
• High rise buildings are overpowering heritage structures and sites leading to devaluation 
of the heritage value of the city. 
• Natural heritage in terms of open spaces, tree lined avenues, historic princits and the river 
front are loosing their functional and aesthetic identity.
• The inner city area has become congested and overcrowded in terms of density of 
population and traffic and transportation. 
• The present system of one way use of certain roads leading to the heart of the city is very 
confusing for new comers/tourists as it lacks proper signage's. 
• Of street parking in commercial areas during peak hours, makes it difficult for the 
pedestrians to walk. 
• Lack of parking space ,in areas of high intensity land use has lead to overcrowding of roads. 
• Due to siltation and irregular cleaning of drains the existing drains get flooded during 
monsoons and high tide and have become insufficient to carry out the drainage load today. 
During the rainy seAson the drains are over flooded with water and lead to water logging in 
core commercial areas.
• As it is a main area for tourism, there are often clashes between the 
locals and the the foreigners staying in the region 
• As there are much foreign population, mainly Africans staying in the 
region ,there is a culture of drugs and rave parties. Etc., 
• Due to high infrastructure development in the city,the recreational 
value of the open spaces is diminishing. 
• Also the value of heritage sites are also diminishing. 
• As there is rise in population in the city , there is over congestion in 
the city as well as the roads.
• Due to increase in the population of the city, there is congestion on the roads 
at the peak hours. 
• Even though there is improvement in conditions of the slums in the city, there 
is a need for improvement in the facilities. 
• As there is lack of parking areas in the city, people tend to park on the edge 
of the roads , creating over congestion on the roads. 
• Present one way traffic lines and close intersections are creating the a 
confusion to new visitors /tourists to roam around the city. 
• Due to improper system of drainage of rain water present in the city, in rainy 
season, there is heavy siltation and deposition on the roads due to rains

  • 59. • The inner city area has become congested and overcrowded in terms of density of population and traffic and transportation. • The present system of one way use of certain roads leading to the heart of the city is very confusing for new comers/tourists as it lacks proper signage's. • Of street parking in commercial areas during peak hours, makes it difficult for the pedestrians to walk. • Lack of parking space ,in areas of high intensity land use has lead to overcrowding of roads. • Due to siltation and irregular cleaning of drains the existing drains get flooded during monsoons and high tide and have become insufficient to carry out the drainage load today. During the rainy seAson the drains are over flooded with water and lead to water logging in core commercial areas.
