Spatial Prospects of Commercialization of Samanabad, Lahore
Journal Title: Journal of Art, Architecture and Built Environment (JAABE) - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Spatial prospects of land-use commercialization are studied using the method of finding Pearson correlation coefficients. It was discovered that the current layout of Main Road, Samanabad carries a spectrum of opportunities if an effective policy is made and implemented, timely. It was concluded that there still exists a significantly large green area which can help alleviate noise and pollution. Service lanes and medians are still not entirely barren and service lanes are still functional. The structure of the Main Market, Samanabad along with several half-a-century old houses on Main Road is still intact. Due to the nature of commercialization, the existing buildings still have not risen to heights which require high infrastructural loads (such as electricity and water). Even natural light is still accessible to several single room apartments of originallydesigned Main Market. All these factors can be preserved using site-specific planning regulations.
