Indian cities are growing at a rapid pace and there is lack of urban growth leading to a condition of unplanned growth and an absence of essential public utilities. This situation is specially prevalent in Tier III cities where there is poor public transport facilities and public utilities.For solving this purpose Vadodara has been taken up as a site. We had to design an Insert which enourages solution to the issues in public transportation, affecting the city through a building or a built element etc. The next is ‘Making’ we had figure out and develop methods of constructing this Insert. The third is a ‘shared’ space; an urban insert will be a shared space with shared ownership among all the people using it. Unfortunately, the attitude in urban areas is that ‘if everyone owns it, then no one owns it’, hence these spaces are mostly ill maintained and become unusable in a short period of time.We had to address the issue of durability and ease of usage of these spaces in their design proposals. ‘A shared space’, is a space that is accessible for all genders, age groups and people with disabilities. Shared also implies that a space which is shared by pedestrians as well as motorized vehicles.
