Najafgarh is primarily known for being an economic and transport hub in rural Delhi. It has many major wholesale food markets. There is an existing bus terminal in Azadpur, but it is not properly planned neither does it have modern amenities. This bus terminal complex lies along the Mahatma Gandhi Marg and in proximity to the Azadpur metro station. It thus can provide last-mile and long-distance connectivity in this area.
Our design intervention focused on people-centric placemaking. Which is why we went above and beyond what a conventional bus terminal does. In order to embed this complex into its neighbourhood, we decided to design a Mohalla Clinic within the terminal itself. This ensures that the terminal becomes a multi-purpose public space that caters to two important human needs – transportation and health.
