SITE PLANNING
The allocation of spaces for these and possibly others users should be guided by certain
planning principles in order to attain the highest feasible productivity of the land over
an extended period of time
1. Safeguard surrounding areas against the blind
2. Expose retail facilities to maximum foot traffic
3. Separate various mechanized traffic type from one another Barrier free environment

4. Create a maximum of comfort for the shoppers and merchants

5. Achieve order, unity and beauty.

INFERENCES
 South Delhi: Prime location
 The Saket district centre provides large public and landscaped open spaces. The public realm has being given

tha ought!
 Instead of having shopping malls stand as isolated entities – disjoint from one another – the development at Saket is
planned in a manner where the multiple buildings are tied together with a common colonnade and uninterrupted
access
an
d transition, making it vibrant, dynamic and friendly.

 Saket Place is projected to employ close to 30,000 people, and attract about 1,00,000 cars in the vicinity every
hour A district centre goes dead after work-hours – Saket district center devoid of this scenario.


Too much of rigidity imparted on the developer in terms of the design of buildings and

elevation kills the creativity of the architect involved.

Saket District centre may be ready to take the huge volume of traffic, but the surrounding
transportation arteries are still not!
