-IndianExpress
Issues
In areas like Subashnagar and Gandhinagar, security is a major concern. Residents say that anti-social elements in Cottonpet, Chickpet and Gandhinagar have made life hell for women.”
-IndianExpress
WOMENS SAFETY
The closest parks (Gandhi nagar park and Lokmanya Tilak park)are too far from the site
PROXIMITY
The designated area has no parks or other planned open lung-spaces, rather it is populated by a dense layout of buildings.
LUNG-SPACE
Further improvements
More women's participation in the social structure.
“Women make up 70% of the world's working hours and earn only 10% of the world's income and half of what men earn. This leads to greater poverty, slower economic growth and a lower standard of living”-The Guardian
An open space for people to experience physically and visually
Provision for a social gathering space
Our Proposal
Combination of the following
Commercially viable Lung-Space.
Provide infrastructure that may be used for commercial activities while keeping the space free for public entry but at the same time generate enough revenue for park maintenance.
A program to promote employment of women or a women's empowerment cell within the proposed site.
Recreation/Socializing space.
Site No.1
Erstwhile Gupta market site
4800 sqm. (1.2 Acres)
Close proximity to Majority of the office buildings
Large area available
Close proximity to sky-walk
Close proximity to Janata bazar and other shopping complexes

PROPOSAL FOR A STAR HOTEL AND PLAZA
PROPOSAL : HOTEL + FOOD COURT + PLAZA
1) High accessibility : close to railway station and bus stand, can offer easy connect to place within the city as well as to other cities.
2) Location and Opportunity : a hotel can thrive in a location where its competitors are not fulfilling the all the needs of the customers.
3) Amenities in a hotel : Hotels which give services and facilities required are preferred mostly by tourists (service class people).
4) Food court : For the ease of people working there (short break from work) and also, the passer-by crowd(take-away or sit and eat).
Plaza
An open public area that is usually near city buildings and often has trees and bushes and places to sit, walk and shop.
Examples – Piazza Della Signoria, Florence, Italy; Times square , New York.
Putting an open space between the urban concrete jungle, brightens the place.
Makes the area more breathable
ZONING OF LANDUSE AND REGULATIONS
Revised Master Plan 2015

Setbacks Applicable to site
Additional FAR: With a view to encourage redevelopment in old/core areas, additional floor area ratio(FAR) as an incentive is proposed for properties located within I & II rings(lands falling under 100 & 200 series planning district plans) which are amalgamated or reconstituted only after the date of approval of Revised Master Plan 2015. Details of additional FAR are as follows;
Existing = 1.75 Additional = 0.5 Total FAR= 2.25
FAR for parks
Implications of Metro Line
Areas which fall within 150m radius from the metro terminals shall be eligible for a maximum FAR of 4 for all permissible uses, irrespective of the FAR applicable for the respective uses in the respective tables.
However, this will be applied only after the completion of the metro stations and also the same to be confirmed by the BMRCL. Till such time the existing regulations shall apply.
TDR (Transfer of development rights)may be permitted till the completion of the Metro stations and not after that. However, FAR shall not exceed 4 in any case.
