•
• STRENGTH
• Nehru place is located on the Outer Ring Road so it can
be easily accessible by the other parts of the Delhi.
• As the market is just opposite to Kalkaji Colony and CR
Park so it makes the market secure.
• Moreover police patrolling is also there when the market
shut downs.
Being an IT Hub, the market caters more to the people of age group 25-35 years because of there shops or job
or shopping, etc.
• Nehru Place is designed in such a way that large open spaces are there between the towers, in form of
courtyards and parking. Due to long courtyard connectivity fresh air enter these corridors with a thrust.
• Parking are designed near to the Towers which makes it easy for the crowd and the employees and also to the
transporters.
• Office blocks are on the second floor which are totally segregated from the loud and the crowd.
OPPOURTUNITIES
•There can be green spaces or recreational spaces which
socialise the office employees and the shopkeepers.
•The hawkers can be assigned a more specific corners/blocks or square rather than the central open
courtyards.
WEAKNESS
•Since it was not planned to accommodate these numbers, the result is congestion, lack of sanitation, and a
degenerating infrastructure in and around the areas surrounding Nehru Place.
•The market is not so User Friendly, i.e. can’t be easily accessed by handicaps and senior citizens find it
difficult to climb the stairs
THREATS
•The United States has named New Delhi's popular Nehru Place as among the world's notorious markets for p
•The ever growing number of hawkers also cause a threat to the placemaking of nehru place causing congest
•There have been many bomb scares in nehru place in last decade.
•The security is less as compared to the footfall.
