Study Area
Total Survey Area: 120 hectares
Focus Zones : Ajmal Khan Road Shopping Precinct
Site Plan showing intervention zones
Karol Bagh has a distinct physical
Strategy structure of walkable blocks and a
network of neighborhood parks. It is
also a shopping destination and a
thriving business district making it
one of the most important mixed use
districts in the NCR region.
We propose a two step approach to

address the public realm
improvements in Karol Bagh.
Strategy 1:
Streets & Plazas Program
Strategy 2:
Parks & Places Program
Ajmal Khan Road 650m
Pusa Road to Arya Samaj Road

Strategy 1: Streets & Plazas Program
Streets & Plazas Program
The District is structured around Ajmal

Khan Road and Arya Samaj Road that
form the major shopping streets along
with Pusa Road/ Dayal Chowk as the
gateway to the district. DB Gupta is a
strategic city wide connector.
Initial Concepts:
1. Reinforce the pedestrian character

of Ajmal Khan Road
2. Create opportunities for

placemaking at major pedestrian
nodes: Karol Bagh Metro Station
and Intersection of Ajmal Khan &
Arya Samaj Road
3. Establish the street network as per

pedestrian guidelines by UTTIPEC
Strategy 2: Parks & Places Program
The network of parks and streets in

Karol Bagh create a strong contrast of
urban experience between active Ajmal
Khan Road and the p passive, more local
parks.
We propose to enhance the fabric of the
park along with the improvements in
public realm of the streets. These in turn
are seen as being anchors in the local
life of the neighborhood.
Initial Concepts:

1. Enhance

park with the public realm
2. Propose special pavings on the

streets around the park
p
3. Proposed special treatment to the

park edge along the major street to
highlight the entry and create a
green zone
4. Propose small neighborhood plaza

where space is available
