Regional
Perspective
The site’s ecology shaped by Hauz Khas
Forest, Siri Fort greens, and DDA Park
enriches the regional perspective with
cleaner air, recreation, and heritage value,
but contrasts sharply with Nehru Place’s
congestion and Shahpur Jat’s urban
sprawl, exposing the imbalance between
natural assets and rapid urbanization.
Historic and planned low-rise morphologies
in South Delhi face disruption from TOD
and MPD–2021 redensification, creating
conflicts between heritage, livability, and
density. ( rudra)
Proximity to major markets (Nehru Place,
South Ex Market, Hauz Khas Village)
reoriented the site economy toward service
and retail activities, weakening traditional
livelihoods.

Shahpur Jat’s unorganised fashion street
outperforms Ansal Plaza, revealing how
informal morphology surpasses formal
commerce.
Ecology
Seasonal flooding of the Yamuna floodplain
restricted early permanent urbanization,
slowing regional consolidation until ecology
allowed expansion.
(Hardik)
Uneven built forms block wind and sunlight,
fixable through urban design with
ventilation corridors, height control, and
green buffers.
Dependence on shifting natural water
systems created uneven patterns of
settlement, making the local economy
vulnerable to ecological change.
(Apoorva)
Water Drainage System not designed
keeping terrains and slopes causing water
logging. Lack of water supply. Green cove
discontinuity.
Morphology
The introduction of a planned residential
complex created a new morphological
identity for the area, but also imposed rigid
land-use patterns that limit organic and
diverse local economic growth.
(Hardik)
Unequal green distribution creates
imbalanced morphologies, calling for urban
design to link greens and balance built
density.

outperforms Ansal Plaza, revealing how
informal morphology surpasses formal
commerce.
lack of cycling and pedestrian infrastructure
reinforces car dependence.
lack pedestrian paths and parking
management,
Unmoderated vertical expansion High-rise
additions in urban villages overload water,
sewage, and power systems;
missing blue corridors
Economy
site boosts economic growth and job
opportunities, but also triggers informal
markets, high land values, and traffic chaos
spilling into Shahpur Jat and Andrews
Ganj.
(Nikita)
Narrow internal roads and lack of parking
hinder smooth logistics for Shahpur Jat’s
fashion market and boutique economy.
Poor last-mile connectivity despite
proximity to Hauz Khas metro reduces
customer and tourist inflow.
Socio-Cultural
Aspects
The area of Shahpur Jat blends historic
village charm and modern urban growth,
with mixed-income residents, boutiques,
and regional cultural significance.
(Paavan)
Parks and Green spaces are well
maintained in the colonies of Andrews Ganj
, Ansal Plaza and Panchsheel Park . This
helps in creating a public interaction
Spaces. (Paavan)
The pattern shifts from organic village
cores like Shahpur Jat to planned gated
colonies like Panchsheel and Anand Lok,
creating distinct identities heritage-driven
creativity in the villages, exclusivity and
luxury in the enclaves
Shahpur Jat’s community heritage and
wedding traditions fuel a creative economy
of boutiques, cafés, and markets, while Siri
Fort and Asian Games Village anchor
cultural–sports economies that draw
tourism and investments through festivals
and events.
Lack of public plazas, pedestrian pathways,
and community spaces Heritage structures
(fort walls, older houses) Overburdened
sewage and waste systems
Infrastructure
strong connectivity and commercial
infrastructure, but also causes traffic
congestion, poor drainage, and parking
shortages, stressing overall urban
infrastructure.
(Nikita)
Unequal green cover and weak
infrastructure across the site lead to heat
stress, waterlogging, and water shortages,
reducing overall livability and causing
vacancies.
Flyovers and metro lines improve travel but
break pedestrian paths, and new high-rise
TOD projects make this problem worse.
(rudra)
Shahpur Jat: Narrow lanes and weak
utilities limit economic growth.
Panchsheel Park: Drainage issues damage
infrastructure and property value.
Andrews Ganj: Congested streets and poor
parking hurt businesses.
Anand Lok: Ageing infrastructure lowers
housing market appeal.
Ansal Plaza: Declining footfall leaves
infrastructure underused.
