Site Context
Located at the heart of the Lal Chowk CBD area, Polo View Street is the first pedestrianised shopping street in Srinagar. The project was initiated after the local traders' union requested Srinagar Smart City Limited to address the existing issues of insufficient pedestrian space, unmanaged parking, inadequate street lighting and defunct drainage system. Srinagar Smart City Limited initiated the complete redevelopment of Polo View Street with an aim to create a sociocultural hotspot in the heart of the city.
