redesigning boulevard street in Bhopal

Project idea

The street design is primarily pedestrian focused where street for people hand
in hand with road for vehicles is an out of question scenario. The main focus is
driven towards attractions and triangulation. Since, food and fun plays an
important role for capturing the attention of all groups of people, thus, vending
activities, recreational activities and colorful environment are an initiative to
make the street more lively, approachable and catchy.
People attract people thus, narrowing of the driveway is an effort to reduce
vehicular access and more bring in more territoriality of the people. The true
spirit of a boulevard street lies in shaded avenues, and thus shaded vegetation
remains a biased choice for the proposal for making the street comfortable and
approachable.
