Re-Envisioning Bhopal

Bhopal the city of lake is associated with a strong environmental context reflected in not only the network of lakes, but also the envelop of hills and forest which create an interesting ecosystem. Though the “Environment” is at the forefront but the city is not merely a “geographical and ecological unit”, it is at the same time an “economic unit”. The city was analysed in relationship with not only the spatial attributes but also the factual data which generates interesting narrative for the pragmatic development Plan. The exercise was introspection on various layers within the city which gives insight about the interrelationship which help generate the urban form and address the complexity of city functioning. The urban image of the city is a collective visual appearance contributed by natural and manmade elements. The unique urban heritage & Environment contributing to the city identity and its image ought to be preserved.
