City Scale Strategies
In Gandhinagar, 65% of the land is public and only 35% Is private. So, the strategy for the Gandhinagar is to get back all the centre public spaces of the city and to give it a productive use such that city is not just dependent on the existing system but the city itself is interdependent.
Foundation of Self-sustenance
Now, why can’t we imagine a sector to be completely interdependent within itself or a self-sufficient sector which deals all the waste, energy, food on its own. The graphic above shows numerically of how much space and what all systems needed to make a sector self-sufficient.
Plan for Self-sustenance
In the proposed plan primary TP roads are been preserved and the plots are divided such that its walkable and can cater to the above-mentioned data. The wetland is strategically been placed on the lowermost contour and the swale around the block are been carved out with parking and recreational spaces.
Household Typologies & Functions
As derived from the analysis each household needs 400 sqm of productive landscape in which 200 be the private and another 200 be the public grow areas. This typology shows the integration of 200 sqm of productive landscape with the function. These typologies can be evolved by merging multiple plots and going vertical with the same number of productive space
Tool-kit of Self-sustenance
Recreational spaces are designed to be in a productive landscape to bring the importance of this landscape in the everyday lifestyle of the people. There are 2 types of wastewater treatment one is for greywater which is been treated by swale which runs along the street and the other is the wetland which is places within the urban forest.
