Phase 1 (2009) :

Reviews by the citizens after completion of a public realm built for the citizens along ITI Road, Pune (500m) from Parihar Chowk to Gaikwad Nagar.

As soon as this space was created it was utilised by all age groups of citizens from senior citizens to children as an active public space. It was a secure and safe place for one and all. When a space is reclaimed for the citizens it is well utilised and owned by the stakeholders itself.
