Adarsh Nagar ward is a mélange of urban typologies which vary from Azadpur Mandi viz.
a heavy commercial development to Adarsh Nagar, an unauthorized regularized colony
and Azadpur Village, an urban village. This interesting yet complex mix of typologies is
currently very chaotic due to the varied activities going on in the parcels of land with an
explosion of unchecked development. Also, the fact that the ward is located at a prime
location in the city, means that it holds a lot of potential which needs to be unleashed in
order to improve the quality of the urban fabric and lives of the users.
Various proposals have been prepared under the concept of Local Area Planning which
could form a model for such future developments.
Azadpur Village
The village being an unplanned organic development, with new unsafe structures coming
up, has become a challenge to deal with. It is proposed to redensify and redevelop the
existing plots, yet keeping the inherent character of the village intact by rejuvenating
certain spaces like chaupals or nodes which are much required social congregational
spaces in any typical village. Open greens, which are interlinked by pedestrian trails, acting
as lungs to any urban fabric have been carved out to induce life into the dead spaces.
Also, self-sustainability at site level is suggested for better utilization of resources.
Azadpur Mandi
MPD 2021 suggests relocating the existing Sabzi Mandi to decongest the existing area
and reduce the pressure that it puts on prime land and infrastructure. The same is
suggested with a view to relocate the Sabzi Mandi to the fringes of the city and retain and
redevelop the fruit mandi as a sub-city level market. Another proposal suggests a change
in land use on the existing Sabzi Mandi site with facilities like large open public spaces,
schools and healthcare facilities which are lacking in the ward. Urban edges are opened
up to uplift the existing dead character. Also, it is envisaged to interlink the three different
entities, i.e. Mandi, Adarsh Nagar Colony and Azadpur Village via pedestrian trails which
cross through various existing and proposed greens. This would result in a comprehensive
and wholesome integration of the ward which is missing today.

1.1 Area Location
Delhi is divided into various municipal zones, such as
south-west, west, south, east, north-east, north and central
zones. Out of these, the study area falls under the
North-west Zone (MCD zones). The NCTD has been
Adarsh Nagar Colony divided into 15 planning zones (divisions) designated A
(unauthorized regularized colony) to P (except Zone I) in the Master Plan 2021. The study
area, i.e. Zone C, is also known as Civil Lines Zone, and
is located towards the north-west, covering an area of
3959 hectares and consists of 21 sub-zones.
Zone C is identiiable by the prestigious Delhi
University, Northern Ridge, ISBT (Kashmere Gate) and
Tis Hazari Courts. A signiicant feature of this zone is the
Old Secretariat complex and Civil Lines Bungalow area of
the colonial period. Roshanara Bagh and Qudsia Bagh are
historical gardens from the Mughal period. This zone has
posh residential areas, rehabilitation colonies and pre-
1962 residential colonies.

Azadpur Mandi

Zones of Delhi Ward No. 14
A part of the Special Area also falls in this zone. Other important activities in this zone are Azadpur Wholesale Fruit
and Vegetable Market and Sanjay Gandhi Transport Nagar. Metro corridor is operational in this zone. Dheerpur (Phase
1 & 11) is an important project in this zone. Zone C is further subdivided into sub-zones. Ward 14 falls under the sub-
zone C 20. It is situated close to colonies such as Shalimar Bagh, Model Town and Ashok Vihar.

The area is accessed by two roads namely – GT Road and Ring Road. GT Road is mostly congested due to the
presence of heavy vehicles coming to Azadpur Mandi for goods transfer. These stretches experience heavy trafic
movement throughout the day as they are major spines connecting to the rest of the city.

Most of the existing planned markets and warehousing were developed in the early 1970s for speciic commodities.
Due to their proximity to residential areas, these markets need to be redeveloped to overcome the
environmental and trafic problems.
Also a 36-metre wide road (Arihant Marg) was added to decongest GT Road from heavy trafic caused due to the
presence of a wholesale trade market (New Mandi).
