Project Context & Objectives

Historic city quarters face heavy traffic congestion within narrow traditional lanes. This study documents traditional chowk hierarchies and analyzes street widths to propose heritage-sensitive circulation improvements.

Key Features & Design Solutions

  • Morphological survey of traditional street patterns, havelis, and community chowks within the walled city grid.
  • Network analysis of carriageway widths, pedestrian corridors, and vehicular volume.
  • Automated spatial mapping and cartographic styling using PyQGIS and OpenStreetMap.

Key Deliverables

  • Walled City Urban Design Spread & Figure-Ground Plates
  • Street Network Capacity & Traffic Survey Maps
  • GIS Layer Documentation & Heritage Analysis Plates
