The new capital state of Chhattisgarh, Naya Raipur is planned as a ‘green city’ exhibiting large areas that would be brought under tree plantation, arrangements would are also being made for water conservation and waste water recycling, and non-conventional energy resources.
As part of the development of the city, the 5 streams that cut across the city shall be modelled as corridors of social, economic, ecological and community development. Water and its interplay with people is taken as the target potential for this project, developing strategies of streetscapes, landscapes and circulation.
