    The document discusses a design thesis project that aimed to redevelop the underutilized forecourt of Vashi station in Mumbai by integrating urban design, architecture, and landscape solutions. The design intervention focused on taming congestion between vehicles and pedestrians, expanding pedestrian movement by connecting the existing framework, and activating the station forecourt by creating a destination. Maintaining the flatness of the site, the design concentrated activities between two transport corridors to accommodate necessary, recreational, and social functions for the public.
