The Delhi Development Authority (DDA) commissioned this extensive proposal to envision a 25,000-acre city situated on the outskirts of Delhi at Narela. The foundational concept rests upon a bedrock of nature-oriented design. Water from existing canals near the site was rerouted to form expansive, winding waterbodies that serve as hubs for recreation, leisure, and entertainment, much like the active quayside areas of Singapore.
The structures themselves illustrate the blending of the manmade and the natural, with vegetation and trees integrated directly into the buildings' spatial programming. The city comprises numerous towns, interconnected by broad thoroughfares, pedestrian walkways, and cycling routes flanked by gardens and offering tree shade. The transportation architecture is precisely designed to minimize crossing points between bike paths and major roads, guaranteeing safety for commuting to professional and educational centers.
The urban blueprint introduces two Central Business Districts (CBDs), providing capacity for high-rise construction. Importantly, even the zones designated for these vertical developments are strategically interspersed with green gardens and vital open areas, successfully eliminating any sense of urban density. This overarching plan aimed to showcase the feasibility of offering quality, purposeful lifestyles to residents through the careful application of research and effective planning.
