JAYPEE CITY MASTERPLAN, INDIA
Jaypee City is a new development near New Delhi for over 2 million people, with long-term sustainability at the heart of its design.
WSP in India and the UK supported masterplanner SOM with high-level international advice to develop a fi nal strategy that delivers an integrated city and focuses on:
• Creating a modern and authentic city with supporting infrastructure for the next 100 years
• Improving quality of life – pedestrian thermal comfort, microclimate, urban heat island response and social sustainability
• Planning walkable spaces – good urban design, with streets designed at a human scale, and transport integrated and managed effectively
• Enabling environmentally sound and effective use of resources – materials, water supply and treatment, energy, waste recovery
• Attracting economic activity to the region.
WSP used lifecycle carbon analysis to develop energy strategies that replaced high diesel use with effective demand-side management and cleaner gas infrastructure supported by renewable energy technologies.
The street network was designed to create a new urban public realm. Using our traffi c modelling and urban design expertise, the masterplan was developed to create streets and a public realm where vehicles are permitted, but which are designed as ”places” so that pedestrians and cyclists feel welcome and comfortable.
WSP’s CITIMETRIX indicator tool quantifi ed the progress made towards creating a sustainable development, comparing it with local and international best practice. It summarised the wide range of sustainability aspects into a manageable overview to enable the client to make informed investment decisions.
