ABSTRACTVijayawada, Class 1 city having a population of 10, 48.000 (Census 2011) is the fastgrowing and the 3rd largest city in the state of Andhra Pradesh spread over the area62 km2, spreading along northern side of the River Krishna.There are three canals in Vijayawada municipality namely Eluru canal, Ryves canaland Bandar canal. For the study purpose Ryves canal has been taken among 3 canalsof the city. The purpose of the study is to generate more open space for the citypeople. Since as in the master plan 2021, only 0.61% (i.e. 38 Ha) of total municipalarea was used for recreational purpose by 2004 and 3.33% (i.e. 205.82 Ha) of totalmunicipal area will be used for recreational purpose by 2021.For the study, measurement survey on the land available along the canal berms hasbeen carried out and different analysis like Landuse analysis, accessibility analysisand area analysis have been done. After that land allocation on the basis of differentactivities has been done.Along the Ryves canal common issues and problems were found like canal berms areconverted in to a dump yard, berms encroached upon by poor people, stagnatedwater in canal becoming breeding grounds of mosquitoes, flies and other insects.This polluted canal water goes to agricultural land for irrigation purpose. Over allone can say that instead of giving benefit to the city people, canals are the cause forthe degrading city environment. It is also the cause of health issues occurring amongthe city people.After this study total available land for the development along the canal is 37.17 Hawhich includes 9.9 Ha of land as reclaimed land and rest land includes vacant land,developed parks and encroachments. Recreational area will increase by two times(i.e. from 38 Ha to 75.17 Ha) in other words recreational area will be 1.2 % of thetotal municipal area, in the proposed recreational space there will be 5% ofincrement. Other than this city would not have hazardous settlements along theRyves canal, recreational spaces and some economic generating activities would beincreased. This canal can be the medium for the social integration (i.e. integration ofpeople coming from different region, religion, cast etc.). This development will alsopromote pedestrian movement by reducing the use of motorized vehicle.v 7.

Generating Public Space Through Canal Front Development: Vijayawada City Chapter 1 Chapter 1: Introduction1.1 Importance of public space in urban areas Urban area is more vibrant in terms of activities. Because of urbanisation,cities having high population densities, there is busy life, heavy traffic movement onroads, polluted urban environment, people having packed schedule. To minimise thestress full life of city dwellers it is necessary to have open spaces where people canspend some leisure time out of their busy or tiring life. Public places are the places where public communication and socialinteraction among large numbers of people occur. Their main role is being loci ofsocialization in the city and also they are the stages where alternative publiccultures perform in the public realm of the city. They are dynamic urban spaceswhich are always subjected to transformations of the city and its inhabitants. Space created for public use where people can enter for individual or publicinterests without social discrimination. If well organised, it will help to enhancecohesion of community life, positively change the public behaviour, and increase thecommunity awareness, promote individual identity and have a certain degree oflocal cultural meanings. Definition of public space: Public space is, by definition, space used by those who do not individuallycontrol it (Habraken, 1998) The space that appears to the whole community (Drummond, 2000) The place that all residents have the right to use (PuMiao, 2001) In conclusion, public spaces function as an element that links the places andpeople. Public spaces are always shared in use by the whole community.Nitish Kumar (Regn. no. 2080200012; B. Planning; Batch: 2008-2012) 1 12. Generating Public Space Through Canal Front Development: Vijayawada CityChapter 1 1.2 Canal front developmentBefore knowing canal front it is necessary to know what is waterfront. The answer is land abutting a body of water, water body can be pond, canal, river, ocean etc. in the same way the land abutting a canal is known as water front. To make canal front more active for the city people in terms of different activities is known as canal front development. 1.3 Introduction of Vijayawada 1.3.1 About the Vijayawada cityIt is the 3rd largest city of Andhra Pradesh, spread over 61.88 sqkm, with population of 10, 48,000 as per the Census- 2011 It is well connected by Air, domestic airport located at Gannavaram. It is the head quarter of South-Central railway and busiest and biggest railway station situated along Chennai-Howrah and Chennai-Delhi rail route. It is also well connected by road network to the rest of the nation by NH-5, NH-9 and NH-221. 1.3.2 Location of VijayawadaFigure1.1Source:http://www.24point0.com Source:http://maps.google.co.in Nitish Kumar (Regn. no. 2080200012; B. Planning; Batch: 2008-2012)2 13. Generating ublic Space Through Canal Front Development: Vijayawada City Chapter 11.3.3 History Settlements started during 5th or 6th A.D around the Indrakiladri hill. Historytells that the vengi, chola, chalukya, kakathiyas&muslimdynesties gave theircontribution in the growth of city around the hills near Krishna River. In 1800 A.D.britishers came and they constructed railway bridge across the River Krishnasubsequently in 1855 they constructed Prakasham barrage & three canals forirrigation and navigation purpose and the rail bridge over the river Krishna in 1892.During 1888, Vijayawada was constituted as a Municipality and became MunicipalCorporation in 1981.Today NH-5, NH-9, Krishna River and three canals (namely Eluru canal, Ryves canaland Bandar canal) are the backbones of the development of urban sprawl ofVijayawada.1.3.4 Geography arrangement Vijayawada city is surrounded by the Krishna River on the southern side andby the Budameru River on the north. The northern and north-western parts of thecity are covered by a low range of hills, while the central, south-western and north-eastern parts are covered by rich and fertile agriculture lands with three majorirrigation canals. The topography of Vijayawada is flat, with a few small to mediumsized hills. Three canals originated from Krishna River run through the city. Due tothe presence of the Krishna River the soil around here is very fertile and cultivatedintensively. Slope of the city is from west to east direction.1.3.5 Climatic condition The climate is tropical, specifically a tropical wet and dry climate, with hotsummers and moderate winters. The peak temperature reaches 47 C (117 F) inMayJune, while the winter during december and january maximum temperature isabout 29 C and minimum temperature is about 19 C. The average humidity is 78%and the average annual rainfall is 103 cm. Vijayawada gets its rainfall from both thesouth-west monsoon (from June to September) and north-east monsoon (October toNitish Kumar (Regn. no. 2080200012; B. Planning; Batch: 2008-2012)3 14. Generating Public Space Through Canal Front Development: Vijayawada City Chapter 1December). Its nicknamed "Blaze-wada" for its scorching summer heatby CattamanchiRamalinga Reddy.1.4 Canals of Vijayawada There are three canals originating from the northern side of the Prakashambarrage reservoir, namely Eluru canal (~7.5 KM), Bandar canal (~8KM) and Ryvescanal (~7 KM), run through the city. The Prakasham Barrage and canal channelswere constructed in 1855 for the irrigation & navigation purpose.Figure 1.2: Canals Network: Eluru canal Krishna main canal Ryves canalBandar canalKRISHNA RIVER source:Google earthTable 1.1, Hydraulic particulars of all Canals:Name of theLength within Width Depth Discharge inSl no. canal Municipal limits (m) in m.in m.

Planning; Batch: 2008-2012)4 15. Generating Public Space Through Canal Front Development: Vijayawada City Chapter 1divided in two three canals namely Eluru, Ryves and Bandar canal. Now a days thesecanals are using for irrigation purpose only.1.5 Growth of the cityThe growth of the town during 1855 AD was along the bank of River Krishnaabutting Indrakiladri hills around the temple of Lord Malleswara. During 1905 AD,the growth started along the canals and areas abutting Indrakiladri and Gandhi hills.The city grew further along the three canals with more growth along the Bandarroad. As the city grew further along the Eluru roads towards Gunadala hills, becauseof better infrastructure and transportation facilities, it added many of thesurrounding villages and the area of jurisdiction of the municipalities has increasedfrom around 30 sqkm in 1888 to 58 sqkm in 2004.Nitish Kumar (Regn. no. 2080200012; B. Planning; Batch: 2008-2012)5 16. Generating Public Space Through Canal Front Development: Vijayawada CityChapter 2 Chapter 2: Research Background2.1 Need of the Research2.1.1 Lack of Recreational area As per the size of the city, it comes under the category class-I city. But as seenfrom the Zonal development plan-2021, approved for Vijayawada city zone (withinmunicipal corporation limits as on 2006) there is lack of open spaces; only 3.33% oftotal area was shown for recreation purpose since no government lands available.Hence, to overcome the shortage of open space within corporation limits, it isidentified that the city is having potential for development of recreation space interms of the area under canals berms since 3 canals are passing through the city. Comparison with UDPFI: according to UDPFI 20-22% area of the large cityshould be used for the recreational purpose. In comparison to Raipur city, Vijayawada city is having very less percentageof recreational area i.e. it will be only 3.3 % as per the Master plan 2021.

Open berms are used by poor people for defecation asNitish Kumar (Regn. no. 2080200012; B. Planning; Batch: 2008-2012) 6 17. Generating Public Space Through Canal Front Development: Vijayawada City Chapter 2well as they are using this berms for their living. Due to the lack of enforcement oflaw, poor people has encroached open land which is the major cause of forminghazardous slums along the canal berms. These slum people are directly dischargingblack water to the canal.2.1.3 Canal: Cause of Diseases Due to the waste disposal, water get polluted which is the major cause oftransmitted diseases i.e. diarrhea, malaria, filariasis, dengue fever, yellow fever etc.during off season stagnated water also the major cause for the breeding ofmosquitoes & flies. This polluted water goes to agricultural land for irrigationpurpose. While canal is being used for drinking purpose in downstream beyond theMunicipal Corporation limits.Source: Health Department, Vijayawada Municipal Corporation2.1.4 Scorching summer climate Since the climate is tropical wet and dry, with hot summers and moderatewinters, city becomes heat island. Its nick name is Blaze-wada for its scorchingsummer heat. People hesitate to spend some leaser time due to the lack ofrecreational area. Source: Master Plan of Vijayawada- 20212.2 Potential of the city City is bounded by Krishna River in southern side, Indrakiladri and Gunadalahills in western and eastern side respectively. Due to these natural barriershorizontal expansion of the city is limited. Even though Vijayawada city is fastestgrowing city in the state of Andhra Pradesh due to the presence of three canals, NH5, NH 9 and its good road network. All these three canals can participate in the citygrowth after giving some following consideration. 1. Krishna River and three canals (namely Eluru canal, Ryves canal and Bandar canal) passing through the city are the backbones of the development of urban sprawl of Vijayawada.Nitish Kumar (Regn. no. 2080200012; B. Planning; Batch: 2008-2012)7 18. Generating Public Space Through Canal Front Development: Vijayawada CityChapter 2 2. Land abutting canals can be developed for the recreation purpose for the city people. 3. Availability of water in the canal is around 9 to 10 months in a year which can be used for boating. 4. Plantation and maintenance of berms can create fresh environment. 5. Easily accessible through roads. 6. Developed canal front can attract people from commercial and residential zones for their recreation purpose. 7. Since, Ryves canal is having high depth and widest canal among all available canals; it can be used for boating purpose.2.3 Issues and Problems Due to the lack of waste management system, vacant land along the canal isused as a dumping site. Generally dumping wastes are coming from shops,households and small scale industries. There is direct discharge of city sewage in tothe canals. Poor people are using canal berms for open defecation or forconstruction of small huts for their livelihoods. Poor people are encroached canalberms for the settlements. These slums are considered as hazardous slum by VMCauthorities. These slums are prone to flood. Other than these problems there are some environmental issues like Canalcreates unhygienic environment due to the degradation of organic waste existing inthe canal and canal also becomes a breeding of mosquitoes, flies etc. Flooding of roads by sewage occurs due to encroachment, silting and solidwaste dumping on the drainage channels, which leads to the canals in the city. The drains empty themselves in to the canals polluting the canals and alsothe environment along the canals.Nitish Kumar (Regn. no. 2080200012; B. Planning; Batch: 2008-2012) 8 19.

Generating Public Space Through Canal Front Development: Vijayawada CityChapter 4disturbs the visual quality of the place. The main objective of this redevelopmentproposal is tostrengthen the commercial and recreational activities which reflects character,social, culture and identity of the place. The design considers visual character andquality of the place as a riverside marketplace. Social and cultural events andfestivals as well as history and architecture of the place are the important aspects ofthe design. The design concept is festive market which represents the positivecultural traits, trading activities for seasonal and diurnal times displaying a varietyof daily and local products in the colonial buildings, Chinese shop houses and alsothe new amenities provided. The master plan comprises of three zones includingtransition area, dry market and wet market that reflects different characters andfunctions in each location. The design applies a metaphor of ripple originating at asquare (Teluk Sampan) and the development spreads to east and west in Dayak artmotives. The wet market is comprised of meat and vegetable markets and atraditional market. At the traditional market the spatial arrangement is derived fromlonghouse architecture where the apartment and loft stand for the market historicbuilding, the gallery (Ruai) and (Barok) stand for the semi open market stores, andthe deck (Tanju) stand for the open spaces towards the river. In addition, theextension bridges enclosed the jetty that served as viewing platform and linkage tothe promenade. Finally, the lookout tower as a focal point at (Teluk Sampan)allowed viewing vistas to all over the waterfront compound. This project willrevitalize the waterfront, enhance the quality of life and meet the demand of healthyenvironment for public involvement.4.2 Sabarmati river front development, Ahmadabadcity, India (Source: www.sabarmatiriverfront.com)The Sabarmati Riverfront Development Project began as an urban renewal projectto significantly improve the spatial structure and habitat conditions of the river andadjoining areas.

The projectincludes water management systems to minimize flooding in traditionally flood-prone areas and to clean up the Sabarmati with new sewage treatmentinfrastructure. A key element of the project is a new linear two-level promenade.Plate no: 4.2 Proposed public space along the Sabarmati River Ahmadabad Source: http://www.sabarmatiriverfront.comThe Riverfront Development reclaims the banks of the Sabarmati, making the entirestretch of river publicly accessible. The project provides more than ten kilometers ofuninterrupted pedestrian promenade on each bank and public Ghats for directaccess to the water.Land reclaimed by riverfront development will largely be allocated for free and openpublic use; more than 85% of riverfront land will become public infrastructure,recreational parks, sports facilities, and vast new gardens.Parts of these public areas will include new space for cultural and civic institutions:including museums, monuments, performance venues, and exhibition space tosignificantly enhance the availability of civic amenities.The Sabarmati Riverfront will also permanently upgrade iconic informal markets,create vibrant new spaces for residents and tourists to converge, attend outdoorevents, participate in water-related recreation, and enjoy leisure activities.Nitish Kumar (Regn. no. 2080200012; B.

Unlike some other examples in Thailand,this floating market has managed to escape the pressures of tourism and remainclose to its roots. Rather than cheap souvenirs and Western snacks, visitors will findtraditional Thai food here, as well as locally produced fruit and vegetables and otherfood products. Not many Westerners make it to the Bang Phli Floating Market, andthis remains a real gem for visitors who are searching for the "real" Thailand.Plate no. 4.5 Klong Lad Mayom Plate no. 4.6 Bang Phli FloatingFloating Market, BangkokMarket, BangkokSource: http://www.bangkok-city.comSource: http://www.bangkok-city.comNitish Kumar (Regn. no. 2080200012; B.

This canal is accessible by roads.Parcel of lands along the canal is occupied by slum people5.2 Surrounding Landuse detail along the RyvescanalOne town and two town area is known as major retail commercial zone in the city.Autonagar is known for workshop and production of Automobiles. ResidentialLanduse is dominant in the other parts of the city (Figure 5.2). Due to the presenceof hills and Krishna River in southern part city has limited land for the expansion ofthe city or one can say that presence of hills and Krishna River restrict the growth ofVijayawada even though this city is politically active and 3 rd largest city of the state.Three canals namely Eluru, Ryves and Bandar canal and NH 5 & 9 are the backbonefor the growth of the city. Among all three canals, Ryves canal is passing through thecore area of the city with major Landuse of commercial and Residential. Maximumlands abutting canal is either occupied by slums or used as dumping place. Few plotsare developed as park which is not properly maintained. Total length of the canalcoming under municipal area is around 7 km: which can be divided in to three zones(Figure 5.2) under which around 2 km of canal length is passes through the majorcommercial zone; around 2.2 km of canal is passes through residential zone and rest2.8 km length is mainly occupied by slum people.

Available land along the canal accessible by roads Note: Refer Figure 5.25.5 Delineation of the Study areaFor the development of land abutting canal, different land use has been identified i.e.vacant land, encroached land and developed land along the canal. Most importantthings have been found that all lands are available either in between the canal andadjacent road or in between canal and pure residential area. As per the existing landuse along the canal, area has been delineated for study purpose according to thefollowing considerations: 1. Land which comes in between existing roads (running parallel to the canal) and canal berms. 2. At some locations plot boundary of pucca residential plots has been considered for delineation.5.5.1 Existing area classification under the Delineatedstudy areaUnder the delineated area there are four types of land use i.e. land for circulation,vacant land is used for dumping, encroached land under slum and developed parks.In area calculation circulation area has not considered. There would not be anyintervention in circulation area. (Figure 5.3)Nitish Kumar (Regn. no. 2080200012; B. Planning; Batch: 2008-2012)23 34.

Generating Public Space Through Canal Front Development: Vijayawada CityChapter 6 Chapter 6: Analysis 6.1 Perspective behind the Proposal Within the study area there are only three types of Landuse are there (except road network) i.e. vacant land, encroached land (slums, existing government buildings and religious structures) and developed land as parks or garden constituted ~27 Ha of land. Other than these lands, Reclaimed land can be generated by construction of retaining wall throughout the canal. After cleaning of vacant land and rehabilitation of slums; available land can be used as a public spaces under which different types of activities can be proposed for recreation. Proposed activities can be of two types a) purely social purpose i.e. recreational activities without fees and b) for the purpose of revenue generation i.e. recreational activities with fees. Activities for the generation of revenue will be helpful in return back of investments involved in development. Proposed activities are mentioned in Table 6.1.Figure 6.1, Perspective diagram for ProposalStudy Area Nitish Kumar (Regn. no. 2080200012; B. Planning; Batch: 2008-2012)30 41.
