EXECUTIVE SUMMARYThis report presents the “SEED Development Master Plan”. Before presenng the Detailed Master

plan proposal, the report elaborates the Site selecon process and the detailed site analysis

undertaken by the planning teams. This analysis forms the basis for the preparaon of the Master

plan. A Smart City Framework guides the vision and goals for the SEED development, these goals

are translated into a set of development strategies which guide the development’s various urban

design layers. These include, Jobs and Homes for all, World Class Infrastructure, Clean and Green,

Quality Living, and Identy and Heritage.

The various urban design strategies are translated into the landuse plan for the SEED development

area. Further, the report presents the implementaon strategies including Phasing plans and Follow

up Acons for the SEED development area.

Note: Arst impressions are subjected to detailed design development

Site Selection Options

Before proceeding with the Master plan proposal, a site selecon process was undertaken by the Consultants.

In order to select the best suited locaon for the SEED development 3 alternave Site Scenarios were presented

to the Honourable Chief Minister and the CRDA based on a Site selecon criteria.

F Ch O f h SEED D A

Preferred Site Option

Considering the pros and cons, both from a design point of view and respecng the aspiraons of the

Andhra Pradesh Government, a revised nal opon was prepared that captured the desirable characteriscs

from the opons. Primarily, this opon is a modied version of Opon 1. The SEED development focus is

retained along the southern bank of Krishna river. The cardinal north-south axis will house the government

core buildings. The deviaon from Opon 1 is that in order to achieve the ceremonial and grand quality

of the axis, the government core funcons will be distributed along this north-south axis with maximum

concentraon on the northern end. Neerukonda hill forms the southern terminaon of this axis. To the

north, the visual axis extends all the way to the Kondapalli Hill Forest.

The resultant chosen outcome for the SEED development locaon also considers the crical distance

necessary between the Government Administrave core and the exisng Vijayawada city. This crical

distance allows to capture the synergies of the adjacency of the 1+ million populaon in Vijayawada, but

at the same me retains enough distance to create a new identy for the new Capital City. The natural

direcon of growth of the SEED development will help expand and bridge the gap between Vijayawada and

the new Government Core.

11 important landmarks and 3 view corridors have been proposed

within the SEED development to create a unique identy.

As Downtown is the vibrant heart of the City several important city and

town level public facilies have been planned within the SEED area.

A well woven network of pa rks and open spaces weaves through the

development terminang at the vibrant public river Krishna waterfront.

A well connected ro ad and public trans portaon h as been proposed

the design of the public realm plays a

vital role while designing this area.

Primary Green:

The main strategy for the green and blueplan is to bring people to the Krishna

vibrant space. Therefore, the primary

green networks from the Capital City

reach the Krishna waterfront.

Civic Axis

• Civic axis is envisioned to be a

ceremonial axis, from Neerukonda

hill extending to Kondapalli forests in

north.

• This 1.2 km green axis emphasizes

the democracy and people

friendliness of the City. It will allowpublic to physically come close the

government buildings and enjoy the

grand 100m wide linear park.

• T -

gatherings and parades can also take

place.

• The axis will provide an

unencumbered view from the Chief

M’ .

Canal Parks

• The linear green corridors alongthe arterial roads will have canals

running through them.

• The canal parks are proposed as the

extension of the arterial roads in

order to create a wider public realm

for this waterfront development.

The canals act as storm water drains

discharging water into Krishna River.

canal.

• The canals will have crossing at every

Secondary GreensA pedestrian friendly CBD is one of

basic needs of the SEED development.In order to achieve this, an intensive

network of pedestrian linkages is

proposed. The secondary greens are

basically the park connectors with

shaded walkways. These align with the

BRT routes, edging the downtown core

and the waterfront promenade.

Park Connectors:

• The park connectors connect the

south western green corridor to the

waterfront parks.

• The eastern and western edges of

SEED are integrated with BRT while

the central two corridors form theback edge of the Downtown.

• These 20 km of park connectors are

imagined to have more of local street

character.

Promenade

• A 3km long promenade is proposed

buildings.

4.3.2 EnvironmentalDesign Principles

Micro Climate• The north-eastern winds coming

from the river Krishna will help in

reducing the ambient temperature

for the SEED development area.

The parks and open spaces along

the waterfront will contribute in

reducing the temperature.

• This cool wind will then be funnelled

into the various development

corridors which have also been

provided with water channels

favourable ambience within the

development.• T

the public plazas reducing the

buildings along the public plazas.

• The numerous pocket parks and open

spaces within the SEED Development

comfortable micro climate.

• The SEED development is bounded

by waterbodies and city parks in the

northern and southern peripheries.

These help in reducing the over all

development.

Water Sensitive Urban Design• W

abundance in the SEED development

area due to proximity to the river.

• The urban design proposal carefully

brings in water from the river

through streams and canals.

• The ABC waterways strategy

explained in the Capital City Master

P (P 2)

proposal.• These waterways act as important

riparian corridors for preserving the

.

• T

riverfront retained and realigned

strategy.

• A number of other sustainable

infrastructure related strategies

including storm water management,

sewerage and water supply will be

discussed in Chapter 6.

Landscape

• A S 4.3, SEEDmaster plan proposes a number

of primary and secondary parks

area.

• Large parks have been planned

along the waterfront and greenery

is induced into the typical street

F 4.21.

Green Buildings• The urban design proposal supports

and encourages development of

Green Buildings within the SEED

. A

project, both public and privatedevelopments should be encouraged

the Indian Green Building Council

(IGBC) GRIHA.

• The overall layout for the SEED

area development supports Green

Building developments in terms of

4.6 PROPOSED MASSINGAND SKYLINE

The skyline for the SEED development

can be well appreciated from the NH9

and the two iconic bridges entering

the City. A few strategies have been

adopted to ensure that this will be the

most iconic developments to serve as

the Central Business District of the new

capital of Andhra Pradesh.

Varying Skyline

The Gateway node and Downtown

Node are the high points. This is so

because these areas are designed

to have maximum development

roads, having frontage and visibility

and also having excellent mass transit

the low points. This helps create an

monotony of the urban fabric to allows

for a mixed density development.

S

Another strategy adopted is to step

the building heights down towards the

river, except for a few special parcels.

This strategy allows to maximise theviews to the Krishna river and also

view from the island and from the

northern banks of Krishna river.
