We prepared a full master plan for the state government of Chhattisgarh as part of a limited competition supported by local planning studies. Our urban structure plan was based on a flexible grid arrangement adapted to the topography of the designated area. It provided a central business district and administrative quarter linked by a light rail system to Raipur, as well as an upgraded regional road structure.

We prepared detailed studies for the proposed residential districts of the new city based on a sector and neighbourhood structure. Particular care was taken to integrate the various forms of slow-moving transport on Indian roads, and to provide a focal point for each neighbourhood.

In addition to these studies we provided phasing and implementation proposals as part of the submission. The master planning process involved expanding and elaborating our vision for the new city and showing how its various components should be planned in detail.
