BHUBANESWAR STREET DESIGN GUIDELINES

September, 2016

IBI Consultancy India Pvt. Ltd.

Project URBS- Urban Regeneration through Bhubaneswar Streets

• Revamping of road design specifications

• Implementation of Complete Streets by allocating equitable space for all users

• Resource efficient mechanisms such as road diets, no parking zones, mid-block crosswalks every 250m, shade trees/ arcades, differently-abled street design, active retail frontage and utility ducting.

WHAT ARE STREETS?

‘ROADS’ are thoroughfares whose main

function is to facilitate the movement of motor traffic.

vs

‘STREETS’ have important public realm functions

beyond those related to motor traffic. They are typically lined with buildings and public spaces and, whilst facilitation of movement is still a key function, they normally support a range of social, leisure,retail and commercial functions.

WHY DO WE NEED STREET DESIGN GUIDELINES?
