A 400 plus acre residential neighbourhood with plotted
pre-built houses and apartments arranged in neat clusters from a central
open space… Pedestrian pathways through open greens…landscaped
gardens…where amenities are distributed on the basis of accessibility
to serve a wider hinterland beyond the project site. Planned roads
and community activity centres…space for schools, hospitals,
dispensaries, shopping arcade, club…provision for IT institutions,
a hotel, theme park… a neighbourhood of about 50,000 diverse
people from all socio-economic classes…that is Uttorayon. Approached
by a wide road, Uttorayon will offer a magnificent view of the Himalayan
range. |
Uttorayon is planned as a new urban
neighbourhood that addresses settlement identity, dynamic and flexible
infrastructure, landscape and open space distribution. Through innovative
approaches in planning, design and infrastructure provision. It
is an ideal environment, conserving all natural resources as well
as ensuring a high quality life.
The planning principles factored in…site conditions and climate
through built form and road network orientation, sustainable development
by optimising natural resources, appropriate and judicious distribution
of open spaces, a clear hierarchy in organising plots, open spaces
and activities with flexibility built-in area to cater to the changing
needs of the society, varied and interesting public spaces and building
typology.
The spatial structure will be organised at two scales… township
and sectors. Variation in housing types will keep in mind the fundamental
necessities of light, ventilation, privacy, comfort… |
