Need for an Integrated Approach towards Street Planning and Design to Ensure Safety, Accessibility and Mobility to all types of Users :A Review of Literature - Vol.16(3), Jul-Sep - Mumbai Institute of Town Planners 2019 - 83-100p.

Rapid population growth in cities is increasing burden on cities infrastructure, which is creating stress on streets, as it needs to accommodate the explosive growth and fulfill the needs of each type of user. All the streets should be designed keeping in mind easy, affordable, safe, accessible and mobility of all users. Streets contribute to social, economic and environment benefits to the city. Streets should be designed with an integrated approach from surrounding built mass on both sides of Right of Way and street scapes. Urban design and street scape should to be conceived together to have better form and function of the place. All policies should have integrated approach to bridge the gap in the codes, guidelines, policies and byelaws for smooth and coordinated functioning of the system. Providing more modal choices increases mobility options and makes user independent. The paper aimed at highlighting the existing complex street related issues witnessed in the city of Gurugram and concluded suggesting the need for complete street design and planning for “the millennium city”, Gurugram.
