The 16-lane signal free road promotes
users to access the site through vehicles.
This causes a surge in vehicular traffic despite
the existence of 4 metro stations peripherally
This result in the 3800+ surface parking spots
and 17000 covered parking spots in 3 levels of
basements being insufficient
As a solution many open green spaces are
converted into surface-parkings making them
dead spaces
A loop of vehicular movement is formed around the
entire site with various drop-off points for all the
individual buildings on the periphery
No zebra crossings are provided on the main
roads and the site can only be accessed by
pedestrians through a few private sky-walks
This causes a disconnect between the
pedestrians within the site and outside the site
As a result the nearby users of the site also have to
access the site through vehicles increasing the
traffic on road and causing unnecessary congestion
2 DLF Shuttle Bus Stops are provided on
opposite sides of the site for regular office goers.
It is an attempt to reduce the vehicular traffic.
The site lies between two Rapid Metro Stations.
The maximum travel distance from any point on
site to the nearest metro station is 15 min.
12 bus stops around the site encourage
pedestrian mobility on the site
No waiting space is provided for cabs and
autos. They have to wait on the service road
which causes congestion in the region
The DLF Cyber Hub acts as a good spill-
out for all the office-clockers during
lunch-time and after-work.
The large variety of eating outlets at the
Cyber Hub also attract people from other
regions throughout the day.
CISF Security Guards are present at the
metro stations. They guard the metro route
around the periphery of the site
Multiple security checkpoints are present at
various points which restrict accessibility to
the site. Vehicles are also checked upon entry.

ACTIVITY PATTERN DURING THE WEEKDAYS

Due to the intense level of screening the visitors
of DLF Cyber Hub have a very directional and
purposeful density around the site
The office goers have an immensely
monotonous and purposeful transition pattern
with intermediate points of pleasantry
exchanges around the drop-offs, lobbies and
elevators
The office employees have timed leisure periods
during lunch-hours. While most of the
employees prefer to dine in the cafeteria, some
prefer to have a meal in a screened environment
No points of attraction are provided in any
unscreened area. This regulates the movement
of people to the DLF Cyber Hub and indirectly Scale: 1:250
