Smart City-Healthy Aundh Neighborhood Development Project

__________

The Aundh mall below the tree canopy  comprises of certain elements that not only makes it smart but also one of its kind in Pune. These elements are simple yet effective in solving most of the citizen’s issues and achieve a design that is suitable to the context. The streets enable people to walk with baggage, shopping trolleys throughout the neighborhood and thus, lead to reduction of use of vehicles for short trips. The complete network also enables universal accessibility as per the Act. The neighborhood has become one of its kind where citizens are able to walk & cycle safely, thus creating a healthy and green environment, setting an example for other neighborhoods.

This open mall not only saves energy but also has helped in reducing motorized trips in the neighborhood, as walking and cycling for communities has increased leading to a GREEN and HYGIENIC ENVIRONMENT
