The project was divided between the MCD(22
INDRAPRASTH PARK,DELHI acres) and DDA(60 acers).
MCD is responsible for the greenry
development ,while as DDA is for civil
beautification.
According to the director of horticulture,Y.P.
SINGH ,DDA ,they had to fill 2-5 ft. of soil on
the site to enable plantation.
From the point of view of
maintaining these plants
and trees,they chose hardy
varieties which require
less water.

around the area. In fact, the DDA plans on
adding more than five thousand different trees
around the park in the future. These will come

landscape architect says “if one can
step for a moment into an outdoor
space, no matter how small or big
and get a glimpse of sky and the
smell of the earth,trees and flowers
then the overwhelming scale and
density of urban life can be largely
overcome.
With this concept of ecological
approach to landscape
architecture,the park is bifercated in
five gardens or green landmarks.
Smriti Van
Fragrant Garden
