Church Square being core area of Central business district is rich in heritage. It is iconic representing the image of the city and is cultural hub, but this area also faces issues related to high density, pedestrian safety and traffic congestion.

The proposal envisages transforming the presently chaotic church square into Pedestrian Square with focus on Ecomobility (creating a model public space for replication to other parts of the city), pedestrianization of 18th June road and bhosle square will initiate implementation of Charles Correa foundation decongestion plan for core city, mini buses for public transportation, universally accessible walkways and public bike sharing scheme, culture (creation of artists’ zone bhosle square), heritage (heritage listing and conservation initiatives) to leverage the associated tourism & economic potential (expected increase of 20% tourists).
