4. Observation & inferences
Some areas of ALIGARH including Marris road comes under smart city development. the guidelines of smart city
made the drastic change in FAR , LANDUSE , GROUND COVERAGE, to establish higher economy in 5 to 10 years.

5. Inference

As, per the new guidelines of smart city Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh. In upcoming years more Mix Commercial
Residential development on ground of marris road aligarh. with some relaxed regulation which makes
city smart.

In upcoming Master plan 2021-2031 theis area Marris road comes under zone 1 which is MIX LAND USE
from predomient Residential.

Since the marris road has different Land Use, Urban Character, & Urban forms ( typology). So, many
changes have to be done in existing building byelaws (DCR) which makes upcoming master plan
qualify with minimum standards and creating very confusing DCR’s.

7.3 Proposed Zoining

Concept of Zoining

Mid Intensity zone: Will allow more percentage of

commercial use. it is more like the core area of the
city where commercial activity with high builtup
area intsentivised with restricted residential.

Low Intensity zone: It offers equal percentage of

commercial and residential. it helps people to stay
close to the aminities and work place and make it
walkable.

11. Group Learnings and Outcomes:

The learning from the group peers is Since the demand in the street is not in line with the current
zoning, the full potential of the street is not being achieved. To cater to that, the street use have
been changed to commercial dominating, along with respective bye-laws that can support the
commercial demand that can plausibly arise in the near future.

The group peer review is a active learning stratergy and was a positive experience for both
the student and the faculty it helps us to think a level high thinking skills, work collaboratively,
understant our faculty point of view through peers basically focus on the libral approch of the plan,
being realistic, and will the built from or proposed regulation caters the demant in furure or not.
With these reviews we have oppertunity to see and learned from out mistakes that we have done.
As a result the proposed planning regulation for the street which is commercial edge can support
high demand and also caters the demand for longer duration and have hassle free movement
along the street.
