Upgradation and Beautification of Urban Road Network and Cityscape in Bathinda

The road network of the city needs to be understood in relation to current and anticipated land use. Upgradation of streetscape and city beautification are interlinked with long-term planning goals for growth and infrastructure management.

We base our design approach to the streets by first identifying the different urban design character districts in a street. We then develop ideas and concepts for streetscaping related to each district. Every street has distinct character districts based on the surrounding land use, edge conditions, and the nature of use of that stretch of the street.

The ROW has been designed with roadway variants that respond functionally and aesthetically to the districts. Thus, the ROW edge is seen as a condition of interface that is designed to transform to respond to the needs of the district.

This approach and the ability to transform the joining of the ROW to the district edge condition allows the proposed design to respond to district conditions as they may evolve between now and project implementation. Thus, the physical design recommendations are intended to allow Bathinda to make detailed design responses for standard roadway/private land interface to improve the roadway function and allow for beautification applications.
