Abstract

The thesis report “Redesigning an Urban Precinct Focusing on Children and Caregiver” presents an innovative approach to urban design with a case application at Darga Road, Park Circus, Kolkata. The study addresses the unique needs of children and caregivers within urban environments, emphasizing safety, accessibility, and the integration of child-friendly spaces. By reimagining the neighborhood layout, streets, parks, and open spaces, the research aims to enhance the quality of life for these groups. The methodology involves participatory planning with direct input from children and caregivers, ensuring their voices are integral to the design process. Key objectives include redefining movement within neighborhoods, allocating urban spaces for interactive activities, and proposing amenities that foster community benefits. This thesis demonstrates the potential of child-centric urban design to create inclusive, vibrant, and supportive urban precincts, contributing to broader urban sustainability and livability goals .
