Weaving green connections across socio-economic and topographic boundaries | Badshahpur forest corridor, Gurugram - Vol.3(71) - New Delhi Brijendra S. Dua 2022 - 19-29p.
At a time when significant infrastructure projects are displacing the majority of our forest acreage and green spaces, rewilding an erstwhile waterway and an abandoned wasteland could seem like a pipe dream. However, this 44-acre stretch of linear green space in the city offers people much more than just a place to walk, jog, bike, and exercise; it also offers a haven from the city’s severely polluted air for leisurely activities, outdoor play, and much more. It is not only inclusive and accessible to the diverse neighbourhood that surrounds it, which includes gated communities, lowincome housing groups, migrant camps, and four urban villages, but it also serves as an ideal illustration of hands-on site-specific landscape interventions through creative waste reuse, restoration of native plant species and biodiversity habitat along with comprehensive nature-based stormwater management.
