A week after the much-delayed, but fearfully- anticipated catastrophic monsoon rains in Gurugram, much lamenting the inaction of 'governments, engineers and planners' (the latter don't really have a say) and plans for new drains, a few encouraging and a few disturbing thoughts-

-Rainfall may or may not have increased, yet the amount that falls in a short span of time has

-There is a need to capture, store, and absorb water (Gurugram has water shortage, so needs all the water it can get)

-More concrete drains move the water rapidly, creating catastrophic conditions at the outlets. There are never enough drains, never a standalone solution, and don't help recharging water at all.

- Integrating open spaces- natural waterways, creeks, historic water bodies and designed landscapes - for drainage has worked. And was demonstrated successfully in areas flooded in previous years- Golf Course Extn Road, Badshahpur, etc.

-Gurugram has vast stretches of greenbelts/ open spaces. Due to encroachments, dumping, compaction and illegal extensions, they have failed to be a solution but can be

-Ecological landscape planning is critical to integrate all natural and structured open spaces, waterways, infrastructure, etc.

-Multi-disciplinary collaborations bring out best practices

At the Badshahpur Forest Corridor, water recharge has helped the emerging native forest take shape in a few short years. In areas that have encroaching industries, illegal parking, and access, work is on hold with and it is still a bit of a disaster.

And, while governments do need to step up, residents too need to be part of the solution, and not the problem.

Photo ref: “Why large cities need large parks”, with Richard Murray, President, Ekoparken Association.

In the 1990s he, along with his colleagues fought for the preservation of a collection of Royal parks leading to the Royal National City Park (the first and only national urban park in Sweden over 27 kms of land, lakes and sea!)

An inspiration for all large and small cities today.

Two of our large scale public projects - Chandi Ghat, Haridwar and Badshahpur Forest Corridor, Gurugram - gave us the opportunity to rethink public spaces. The kind of planning, designing, collaboration and contribution it takes to turn undertakings like these into reimagined cultural spaces for communities to thrive.

To have them both included in a Compendium of 75 Public Spaces - Transforming Urban Landscapes in India by the National Institute of Urban Affairs (NIUA) is a dream come true.

Thanks to Oasis Designs for the incredible work in putting it together!

“The security that safe and comfortable public places provide not only empowers young women but enables their families to send them out to conquer the world confidently and fearlessly”

As we wrap up a symbolic month filled with stories of empowerment and progress, we have a sprinkling of inspiration here from Beyond Built's Lead Landscape Architect herself - Nidhi Madan
