WHAT IS DISTRICT CENTER ?
District centres – Smaller than town centres, but still with good access and providing a range of
services for the local district area. These usually comprise groups of shops, often containing at least
one supermarket. District Centres will also contain a number of other services, often including,
community services, financial services and some small scale leisure services.

The shape and type of a district center almost always closely reflect the city's history. Cities with
maximum building height restrictions often have a separate historic section quite apart from the
financial and administrative district. In cities that grew up relatively quickly and more recently, A city's
district center is usually typified by a concentration of retail and office buildings. The district center
usually has an urban density higher than the surrounding districts of the city, and is often the location of
the tallest buildings in the city.
SITE ANALYSIS The site is located bang on

site is also in close proximity
to the ' BOULEVARD', which
is the spine that connects
the entire SPORTSCITY.
The Boulevard acts as a great linear 'living room' for the city , a place for the residents to

•Urban Design integrates the process and LITERATURE STUDY
expertise of many related disciplines including
Art , Architecture , Landscape, Social services,
Economics , Planning , Engineering and
Transport.
•upto 1960 - Planning & Architecturewere
split.
•" Planning" concentrated on Land Use
Pattern & connected socio economic issues
(MACRO)
•"Architecture" concentrated on the design of
mainly the Buildings (MICRO)

As such there emerged a "Responsibility Gap"

where the design of general public spaceswere
Concerned.
URBAN DESIGNthus came to Bridge in thisGap.
