NEGATIVE HIGHLIGHTS• Roads being similar to each other creates confusion• Brutal concrete gives a rough look• City not planned for lower income people.• Existence of slums around the city
THE INITIAL DESIGN OF NEW DELHI
However, Lord Hardinge told him of the dust storms that sweep the landscape in these parts, insisting on roundabouts, hedges and trees to break their force, giving him the plans of Rome, Paris and Washington to study and apply to Delhi.
Lutyens had initially designed Delhi with all the streetscrossing at right angles, much like in New York.
PATTERN IN SETTLEMENTS
INTENTIONS OF LAYOUT…….Lutyens’ Delhi was planned on the most spacious garden city lines with the great avenues decorated with classical buildings with lush landscape.The layout of Lutyens Delhi was governed by three major visual corridors, linking the government complex with :
• Jama Masjid• Indraprastha• Safdarjungs Tomb
• Besides the major Pathway, there were extremely wide avenues. The original design of the road network was capable of accommodating 6000 vehicles, however these avenues, had the potential of increasing their carriageway-the reason why the road layout has survived till today.
• In general the road network consisted of diagonals and radials, at 30 degree/ 60 degree angles to the main axis, forming triangles and hexagons.

1. Lutyens laid out the central administrative area of the city.2. At the heart of the city was the impressive Rashtrapati Bhawan, located on the top
of Raisina Hill. The Rajpath connects India Gate to Rashtrapati Bhawan, while Janpath, which crosses it at a right angle, connects South end with Connaught Place.
3. The Secretariat Building, which houses various ministries of the Government of India including Prime Minister's Office are beside the Rashtrapati Bhawan and were designed by Herbert Baker.
4. Also designed by Baker was the Parliament House, located on the Sansad Marg, running parallel with the Rajpath.

FEATURES
• In this whole process almost no attention was paid to the problems of Old Delhi. Due to the creation of New Delhi, Old Delhi experienced a 28% surge in population from 1916-1926 resulting in the spilling over of the population from inside the walled city to the Paharganj area, whose restructuring was later abandoned by Lutyens due to resource constraints.
• Also, no provision of housing was premeditated for the large no. of skilled and unskilled workers which immigrated in for the construction work of New Delhi.
• This negligence of the planners towards Old Delhi resulted in its transformation to a large slum area through deterioration and dilapidation.
