Sustainable Urban Regeneration

          In order to conserve natural resources and reduce project costs, divergent ways of recycling of materials have been
          carried out:
          •  Old discarded kerb stones were recycled to make toe-walls (for seating) and retaining walls on the Bundh
          •  35000 cubic meters of construction debris from landfill & construction sites in Gurugram have been utilized for earth-
             fill operations and in preparation of base layers of paving of the 5.2 km long stretch of the bundh site, facilitating
             utilization of waste from roadside landfills
          •  A good solid waste management system has been adopted. Compost pits are provided for collection of bio-degradable
             waste for on-site generation of plant manure.
          •  Use of renewable energy for lighting solutions through solar pole mounted lights, with motion sensors
          •  Native plant species suitable for dry arid climate and those requiring minimal water after establishment have been
             used to create a water efficient landscape. These native species of trees and shrubs all along the Bundh has led to a
             sustainable greening of the area and has subsequently attracted birds, insects & other fauna native to this region and
             enhanced biodiversity
