ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

The success of any venture cannot be regarded as the end result of a single factor. It requires a harmonious
unification of perseverance, inspiration and motivation; along with the right kind of guidance working on this
dissertation in a truly different perspective.

At this level of understanding it is often difficult to comprehend and assimilate a wide spectrum of knowledge
without proper guidance and advice. Hence, I take the opportunity to express my heart felt gratitude to my
respected guide, Ar. Naved Ariyana, his unfailing guidance and constant encouragement, and support which
has enabled me to successfully complete this task.

I Yogesh Kumar, tenth semester student of Galgotias school of architecture, GU, would like to gratefully and
sincerely thank my guide panel for this guidance, understanding, patience, and most importantly, his
friendship during my thesis synopsis study. Which encouraged me to grow as an instructor and an independent
thinker. I am not sure many graduate students are given the opportunity to develop their own individuality
and self-sufficiency by being allowed to work with such independence.

Though the following thesis synopsis study is an individual work, I could never have reached the heights or
explored the depths without the help of books published by various authors, the e- books available on the
internet, the research papers published by various authors and the various organizations and websites
providing information related to my dissertation topic.

I express my sincere thanks to all the teachers who have helped me throughout this process, my parents and
my friends for their kind cooperation and help at various stages, which has made my work possible.

Today everybody needs or is striving hard for better standard of living. We all want to provide for future,

environment which is inspiring and raises our spirits in order to fulfil our ambitions and aspirations.

The project aims to create a successful urban public space for the people of that area because it is only in
