WLAM 2026 – Landscape of Inclusivity, Interconnection & Innovation

AIM: To highlight the collaborative work of Landscape Architects for Eco-restoration of GHATA BUNDH FOREST CORRIDOR

Eco-restoration of GHATA BUNDH FOREST CORRIDOR, Gurugram

Built in 1883 as part of the North Gurgaon drainage scheme,Ghata Bundh (1.2 km long, 5 m high) is vital for managing rainwater runoff from the Aravalli’s and protecting downstream areas from floods. Urbanisation has reduced its submergence area, causing more frequent flooding during monsoons.

The project involves a comprehensive approach to environmental restoration- through segregation of solid wastes, improvement of Pond area, implementation of phytoremediation techniques, slope stabilization, planting Native flora, reuse of existing culturally significant structures. 

Placemaking elements foster community engagement through interconnected nature trails, board walks, observation points, interpretive zones, and informative signage.

Resource-efficient construction is prioritized, with a focus on local or repurposed materials like onsite stone, broken concrete, reused fencing, paver blocks, and various stone waste. 

As part of the Nature Conservation Zone, the eco-restoration aims to preserve water heritage, enhance the cultural landscape, restore native forest habitat, use resources wisely, and create people-friendly spaces.

The walk will be conducted by Landscape Architects Kavita Jain & Seema Anthony.
