INTRODUCTION
As the population of Lahore is increasing day by day and its central hub is getting
densely populated, people are demanding for new neighborhoods with self-
contained facilities. Therefore new neighborhoods are being developed outside the
main city with self-contained facilities. This report is about a neighborhood design of
an area in Shadira, Lahore with detailed features and facilities including residential
houses, market, shopping centers, parks and open spaces, streets and public
buildings.
Located on the G.T. Road (a.k.a. Old Ravi Road), in North West part of Lahore, the
land is spread over an area of 4 km2. With its plain topography and Ravi river flowing
adjacent to it, the sector has an amazing and beautiful landscape.
Figure 2 Location of the Land w.r.t to Lahore city shown with a black dot
Lahore city is expanding across the North-South direction. The new sectors being
developed are linked to N5, Raiwind road and Ferozpur road. The land for IHS lies
along the belt of River Ravi. The land is best suitable for neighborhood development
because recreational and historical facilities, like Noor Jehan and Jehangir’s Tomb,
are closer to this area. The total area of the sector is 150 acres. The neighborhood is
designed under Lahore Residential Sector Zoning Building control Regulation 2005
and National Reference Manual. The sector is designed by keeping in mind location
of river Ravi, railway track, accessibility to Metro Bus Terminal and highway. Schools,
parks and masjids are at five minute distance, masjid and class three shopping
centers have their own space parking. The sector is divided into 2 sub sectors with
each sub sector having centrally located elementary school, parks, playgrounds and
shopping center.
Rectangular street pattern was used.

DEMERITS OF RECTANGULAR STREET PATTERN:
It is unsuited for application in areas of even gently rolling topography, where it may require
excessive amounts of cut and fill for street construction and excessive grading for the
development of building sites;
It may create costly drainage problems
It may make the establishment of street and alley grades difficult.
It may be un-stablising influence since it allows heavy traffic to shift readily from street to
street.
It may be monotonous if applied over large areas without interruption
And is considered by some to be aesthetically unsuited to use it in residential areas.
ADVANTAGES OF RECTANGULAR STREET PATTERN:
The widespread use of rectangular street pattern may be attributed to its powerful
advantages
It is simple to “design” and to lay out, providing efficient lotting.
It is well suited for applications in commercial core areas because traffic can shift readily
from street to street, a desirable feature in such areas.
It facilitates the use of one-way streets.
It is orient for people to orient to and is readily house numbered.
It increases safety by reducing the traffic speeds and reduces the severity, if not the
number, of accidents.
PLANNING
There is no “normative” land use allocation at the city scale nor ideal pattern of
distribution of activities. The proportions and form of the city scape are the
resultants of past and present socio-economic forces.

Land subdivision is one of the most important determinant of different urban
patterns e.g. Curvilinear, rectangular, etc. It is far more detailed that Zoning Plan.
ABOUT THE PROJECT
The project has Green and Clean Environment, civic amenities including
mosque, school, club House (Including facilities of swimming pool, squash courts,
Tennis courts, Badminton Courts, Indoor games and Gym etc. the housing scheme
has parks, Children Play land, Open Air Restaurant around the river Ravi with a
walking Trail, Cricket & Football Ground, Modern Shopping Malls, Modern
Landscaping, Walkways, Jogging track around Cricket and Football grounds,
Enquiry Office, Higher Level Amenities provided.
Infrastructure Facilities include minimum 35 ft Wide Streets and 64 ft Wide
Boulevards, Predesigned Services Ducts, Underground Electricity & Sui Gas System,
24/7 Potable Drinking Water, Efficient Drainage & Sewerage System, Solid Waste
Management System, Broadband Optical Fiber Network, Environment Friendly
Planning & Development and Positive Energy Waste Treatment Plant.
Special Security arrangements include Gated community with sub security
sections, Bio and Face recognition access at central gate, Guest reception area at
central gate , Video Conferencing in between House and central gate, Database
of servants, regular visitors and criminals etc., Wireless communication between
guards and central office, and Camera’s at street corners with recording system
Environment & renewable energy is the added feature of the scheme as it
would have Zero or Least Emission Houses, Bio-gas Generation at Combined Waste
Treatment Plant, Treated Effluent for Gardening & Road Washing., Solar Street Lights
and Communication Panels, Solar Panels at Roof Tops for Domestic Use, Solar Heaters
for Water Heating and Rainwater Harvesting for Flushing Toilets.
It would also be equipped with Broadband (Telecom, TV & Internet) having
Fiber to the home (FTTH) network for all type of communication, telephone network
with internal free access, Broadband high speed internet, High speed gaming for
children, HDTV & TV on demand, Distance learning for homework from community
school, Digital Library, Books, and videos, Communication media for Traffic control
system and Communication media for Security system
For the first time, IHS is introducing water metering and billing through digital
metering as a pilot project. IHS will provide 8-10 different designs based on Eco
Architecture to be developed. The proposed designs of the housing Units would have
low energy footprint incorporating the contemporary green building concept.

Education is the most vital investment for socio-economic advance. Usually all
schemes of Lahore have 1 primary and 1 secondary school in their subsectors. We
have also planned in a similar way. In Pakistan, the minimum threshold size of schools
is effected by
Different participation rates (between male/females, urban/rural populations,
and regions)
Very different population densities (within and outside cities, between
provinces)
Keeping in view the above factors we planned our schools for large
catchment areas while realizing that these are designed for the compact
environment of large cities.

Our planned Secondary Schools weren’t located near Major busy roads
carrying fast traffic. We also focused on locating primary schools where they were
served by pedestrian routes which did not involve crossing major roads. Schools were
located close to community facilities such as clinics, mosques and public open
spaces.

There are many road classification systems; most are oriented
to the culture of the country of origin. Classification of urban
roads previously used in Pakistan was adopted, based on their
function, volume of traffic, type of traffic and position in
network.
Road widths were decided in the following manner:
Secondary Roads (width = 106 ft)
Local Roads
o Local Access Roads (width = 64 ft)
o Streets (width = R.O.W = 35 ft)
ROAD TYPES Widths / R.O.W Function / Purpose

`Mosques are a major component of the community
facilities available at local neighbourhood level. Socially they
perform wider functions than simply accommodating religious
services. They are a focal point for a community that’s why we
located most of our Mosques near or in residential areas. We
also calculated that the maximum walking distance to the
nearest Mosque wasn’t more than 500 m for any resident living
in a locality of a mohalla. As our population for the whole sector
did exceed 7000 person (according to our householf
population estimates) we did incorporate a Markazi Mosque, in
our Green Belt along the River Ravi and many Mohalla Mosques
in the sub-sectors of IHS. We took precautions that a Mohalla
Mosque was designed for people ranging from 5000-6000 on a
plot measuring 600-700 sq. metres and was adjacent to open
space.
