EXISTING SCENARIO

MAIN MARKET STREET

VEGETABLE MARKET

ISSUES 1. The Town lacks Identity 2. Unplanned and adhoc built

environment 3. Unplanned roads 4. Pedestrian and vehicular conflict




Identity Today Panchgani town has no particular identity. Various spaces and streets are seen and used as temporary or transient spaces. People relate to them merely for functional reason. Time spent by tourists is therefore very short. Most visitors visit Panchgani for just a day and disperse to the different points including the ‘table-land’.

PANCHGANI STREET,

EXISTING SCENARIO



Objective Our central objective is to envision a ‘Town Centre’ and to establish an identity for Panchgani. Visitors would thus be able to relate with the ‘Centre’ and spend time for food, entertainment, leisure and engage in various passive and active cultural programs.

MALL ROAD, SHILMA


Visitors enjoy spending time Intermingling with each other and showing off their best casual outfits in most hill-station town centers.



The ‘Town Centre’ helps integrate the various existing public buildings such as the Town Hall, Municipal Council building and Municipal Markets etc. Networking of these buildings and open-spaces enables us to establish a profound ‘Town Centre’ with many more activities and interests; a small separate cinema hall, a cultural centre, food courts, gallery and open spaces for leisure and walks.

The congested Wai-Mahabaleshwar road is seemingly the town centre today.

ENVISIONING A TOWN CENTRE

The focus of attention and the various activities on the highly constricted Wai–Mahableshwar road will hopefully shift to the ‘Town Centre’ - a parallel network of spaces and activities.

Table Land is the most important and iconic landmark of Panchgani. But the arrival, introduction & departure to this magnificent journey and experience is unplanned . Our objective is to structure the various activities and spaces at the point of arrival / departure to create a definite sense of place. Re – organization of the vendors providing various food and entertainment services is the starting part of the plan.

RE-ENVISIONING THE TABLE LAND

Formalization of pathways and steps to the ‘Table land’ is also an aspect of our plan. Signage and information boards including maps will help the visitors know more about the area. Lastly, public facilities such as drinking water and toilets will be developed.
