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
