CITY CENTER
INTRODUCTION:
NOTION AND NEED OF A CITY CENTER:
• City center is the area of the city where commerce, entertainment, shopping and
political power are concentrated. urban city centers have combined both the shopping,
learning and recreational activities with entertainment to offer an overall experience
to the visitor.
• This space in the city symbolizes a place of intensive gathering point of the people, for the
purpose of satisfying their most varied requirements (primarily those which are not
immediately connected to the dwelling and working).
• In the city center, the social, cultural, business and entertainment activities of its denizens
take place, as well as the material and spiritual exchange among people. the center is place a
city is often identified with, because it, to the greatest extent, shapes a collective image and
conception of a city in the mind of an observer. the city center is most frequently its
historical core, or it is closely related to it, and is subject to a series of transformation during
its development.
• The substance of the center, its functions, form and physical structures have strong
anthropometric dimensions, because man is the starting factor of all the processes
taking place in the center. human need to be surrounded with other people, to see the
friends and establish a social contact is the lasting and inevitable requirement of man
as a social being.
• They are also defined as “multi-purpose leisure-time destination”.
• The city centers are usually associated with shopping or retail. They are also
commercial and political centers including hotels, shops, offices, etc.
HISTORY:
• The concept is not new. The Agora of the typical city of ancient Greece was
essentially a shopping center in the heart of the business district. Emperor Trajan’s
architects built a shopping center adjacent to the roman forum in a.d. 110. It had a
two-level enclosed ventilated mall lined with open-fronted shops similar to today’s
concepts.
THE PRESENT CONTEXT:

• The density of population is very high within the suburban limits. Interaction between
citizens/individuals should have multiplied, but instead they became unknown to each
other in spite of proximity.
• The solution is to generate direct contact between individuals. Recreational centers
serve this role of connecting these people.
AIM:
• To create a space which can form a node for holding and experiencing
commercial, cultural and social activities.

• It is in a way hybrid or a mix between a convention center or a cultural hub and a
commercial center on a much-reduced scale.
OBJECTIVE:
• To understand the importance of a city center in a city and design a future proof city
center that is a commercial, cultural and often a historical, geographical and political
heart of the city.
• To create a city center providing an iconic image and a landmark to the city.
• To take into account site considerations and climatic conditions.
• To develop a greater understanding of inter relationship of variety of spaces, various
characters of public, semi-public, private, entertainment center, commercial etc.
SCOPE OF THE PROJECT:

• Explore the symbiotic character of commerce and culture.
• Explore the inter-relationships between spaces and the challenges caused by the
design to restrict spaces to particular segment of public.
• Evolve a contemporary model of conventional Indian market.
• Explore the possible integration of the functions which usually exist at larger
distances.

developing infrastructure of the society by upgradation of roads, bridges, flyovers, linkages,
etc. This is done to upgrade, improve the communication by dismantling old structures of
government offices and government structures to develop shopping malls which will generate
money.
One such site can be used for the purpose of creating a City Center.
The City center can be designed in this area, along with preserving a small part as a
memorial to Shahu Maharaj.
This can be an ideal site for a city center as it is located in the center of the city and its
surrounding area is developed with many commercial cum residential complexes.
