3.2.1. Recreational Infrastructure Mapping (Urban Radii)

The recreational spaces mapping done in the area selected, i.e. within the 5 km radius of the
site, identifies the presence and existence of public and private green infrastruc-ture. The

mapping done by overlaying land use maps, infrastructure maps, and satellite imagery

shows a variety of recreational infrastructure such as Parks, Beaches, Leisure parks, Public
Plazas, national parks, and wildlife/bird sanctuaries. Out of these Public Parks and plazas

were highlighted in study.

Fig. 4. Recreational infrastructure Mapping, The 5km Radii.

The mapping (Figure 4) shows the visual density of green infrastructure within the urban
radii, mapping helped identify the urban planning strategies employed by the MMRDA and

BMC to counter the urban recreational requirements. A fairly dense dis-tribution of the

recreational spaces is found across the region.
