Fourth year B.Arch students of VIT’s PVPCoA , as a part of their Urban Design Studio did a detailed documentation and study of Laxmi Road and its surroundings between Alka talkies Chowk to Belbaug Chowk.
Studies were carried out to highlight its importance as an important connector in the old city as a prime commercial street in Pune. The entire stretch of road was divided into eight parts & studies were carried out in detail by different groups of students covering different aspects like daily & annual Activity patterns, Connectivity by public transport, Traffic issues, Types of shops , Location & Types of Hawkers, Parking areas, Open spaces & their use, Density of Population, etc. This study eventually culminated conceptual proposals by students with the guidance of faculty.
The study has been now converted into an exhibition titled “ Laxmi Road – Pune’s Life Line on the Edge ” which includes various aspects like History, current issues & measures which can make Laxmi Road a better street and an interesting urban space. The same is being now taken to the citizens and to various institutions, especially traders and people residing in & around Laxmi Road.
our Exhibition “ Laxmi Road – Pune’s Life Line on the Edge “ was inaugurated on Saturday, 22nd June, 2013 by Mr. Mahesh Pathak ,Hon.Pune Municipal Commissioner at 5.30 pm at the Vishrambaug Wada , the historic landmark of Pune city.
