 DWARKA HAS VERY GOOD CONNECTIVITY, COMMUNITY SPACES, INCLUDING

GREENS AND SPORTS COMPLEXES. IT CAN SERVE AS THE COMMUNITY HUB FOR
ALL THE UNPLANNED RESIDENTIAL AREAS AROUND.

SO FAR, THE NALLAH HAS FUNCTIONED AS A DIVIDER IN TERMS OF

DEVELOPMENT; ITS ROLE NEEDS TO BE THAT OF THE INTEGRATOR IN FUTURE
DEVELOPMENT.

PRESENCE OF NEITHER GREEN SPACES NOR VEGETATION IN UNPLANNED

MOHAN GARDEN AND UTTAM GARDEN EXCEPT FOR TRACES OF GREEN AT TWO
POINTS ON THE CENTRAL FLAT TERRAIN.

TRAFFIC JAMS AT THE SINGLE WAY BRIFGE SHOWN IN THE DWG CHECK PHOTO
FOR CLEAR PICTURE

DWARKA HAS HUGE WIDE OPEN ROADS WHICH ARE TERRIBLY UNSAFE AT
NIGHT, CONSIDERING THE SCALE
HUGE SCALE OF ROADS MAKE GREEN COVER OVER ROADS VERY LITTLE, THUS,
ROAD TRANSPORT IS ALWAYS TIRING UNLESS YOU HAVE AN AC CAR

LACK OF GREEN SPACES IN NAJAFGARH

HUGE GREEN SPACES IN DWARKA VERY UNCOMFORTABLE SCALE

BREAKING HUGE GREEN SPACES INTO SMALLER POCKETS OF GREEN MAY

PROVE FRUITFUL

PALAM DRAIN FLOWS RIGHT THROUGH DWARKA HAS HUGE POTENTIAL FOR
SOCIAL, PUBLIC AND COMMERCIAL ACTIVITIES

HUGE MOUNDS CREATED ON EITHER SIDES OF THE

PRESENCE OF AN ELECTRIC HIGH TENSION WIRE

SITE

GURU GOBIND SINGH I.P. UNIVERSITY

THE SITE, VIRTUALLY IS PENINSULAR, HAVING DRAINS ON ALL THREE SIDES

WATER INTERFACE TO SITE AREA RATIO IS HUGE
BECAUSE OF THESE RESONS, THIS SITE HAS A HUGE POTENTIAL FOR WATER
BASED SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC ACTIVITIES. COUPLED WITH THE ECONOMIC AND
SOCIAL DESPARITIES BETWEEN NAJAFGARH AND DWARKA, THE WATER CAN BE AN
INTERFACE BETWEEN BOTH THE COMMUNITIES, TO GET MUTUALLY BENIFITTED

THE SITE HAS TWO DISTINCT CONTEXT ON EITHER SIDES, THE HIGHLY
ORGANIZED DWARKA, SUFFICIENT IN PUBLIC SERVICES, AND THE UNORGANIZED
NAJAFGARH, WITH CULTIVATION AS THE MAJOR PROFESSION.

THE SITE HAS A HIGH INTERFACE LENGTH TO WATER, SINCE IT TAKES A SHARP
CURVE INSIDE THE SITE.

THE SITE IS TECHNICALLY PENINSULAR, AND HENCE, HAS A HUGE POTENTIAL

FOR A WATER BASED FUNCTION.

THERE IS ALREADY A SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANT NEAR THE SITE, WITHIN 2

KM DISTANCE.
THE SITE IS IN A STRATEGIC POSITION FROM THE VANTAGE POINTS OF
VEGETATION, CULTURE, TRAFFIC, ECONOMIC, AND LAST BUT NOT THE LEAST,
WATER.

ACCESS TO METRO STATION VERY NEAR TO THE SITE IS A HUGE ADVANTAGE

FROM THE ACCESSIBILITY POINT OF VIEW

HUGE DEVELOPMENTS PLANNED BY THE GOVERNMENT FOR THE NEXT

DECADE.
THE WIDTH OF THE NALLAH IS OVER 100 METRES.

LACK OF CONNECTIVITIES BETWEEN BOTH THE COMMUNITIES.

EXISTENCE OF HUGE CULTIVATION LANDS NEAR TO THE SEWAGE TREATMENT
PLANTS HAS NOT ADDRESSED.

THE SITE IS LOW LYING AND SUSCEPTIBLE TO WATER LOGGING.

ALTHOUGH HUGE DEVELOPMENTS HAVE BEEN PROPOSED IN THE FUTURE, AS
OF NOW, BUS SERVICES IN DWARKA IS POOR.

HETEROGENEOUS INTRA SITE OWNERSHIP PATTERN DEMANDS CO

ORDINATION BETWEEN VARIOUS DEPARTMENTS.

HUGE TRAFFIC JAMS, AND PEDESTRIAN UNFRIENDLY.

THE SITE PARTIALLY COMES UNDER THE AIR FUNNEL.

WATER PLAYS A HUGE ROLES IN THE SITE, BY THE CHUNK OF ITS CONTRIBUTION IN THE
FIGURES, AND HENCE, A WATER BASED FUNCTIONAL ACTIVITY AND AS WELL AS ITS
IMPORTANCE WILL BE EXAGGERATED BY THE PRESENCE OF THIS NALLAH.

THE PRESENCE OF DISTINCT CONTEXTS ON EITHER SIDES OF THE SITE DEMANDS FOR
INFRASTRUCTURE WHICH PROMOTES MUTUAL EXISTENCE OF BOTH THE COMMUNITIES,
AND THEREBY ENHANCING THE SOLIDITY OF JUSTIFICATION FOR THE NEED OF MORE
CONNECTIVITIES, BOTH VEHICULAR AND PEDESTRIAN ON BETWEEN EITHER SIDES OF THE
NALLAH.

PRESENCE OF A 90 MGD SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANT IN THE VICINITY OF THE SITE

PROVIDES HUGE OPPORTUNITY FOR SEWAGE TREATMENT NEAR TO THE SITE.

SINCE SITE IS PARTIALLY ALLOTTED FOR THE DEVELOPMENT FOR GURU GOBIND SINGH
UNIVERSITY, UNDER IP UNIVERSITY, THERE IS TREMENDOUS SCOPE FOR THE INVOLVEMENT
OF THE STUDENT COMMUNITY IN TAKING PART IN ANY OF THE COMMUNITY LEVEL WATER
RELATED FUNCTIONS WHICH MIGHT BE PROPOSED.

OWNERSHIP OF THE SITE ON THE WESTERN SIDE OF THE NALLAH IS BY PRIVATE LAND
OWNERS, WHICH IS A HUGE PLUS POINT IN BRINGING IN ANY DEVELOPMENTAL ACTIVITIES
FOR WATER AND CULTIVATION.

MASTER PLAN 2021 PROPOSES DEVELOPMENTS, MOST OF WHICH MIGHT NOT

BE IN COHERENCE WITH THE PROPOSALS.

HEAVY CONTAMINATION OF THE NALLAH HAS ALREADY BEEN DONE BEFORE IT

ENTERS DELHI CITY LIMITS.

PRESENCE OF AN ELECTRIC HIGH TENSION WIRE CUTTING ACROSS THE SITE IS

A MAJOR INTERFERENCE TO WATER BASED ACTIVITIES FOR SAFETY REASONS.
