1. New Urbanism 1
Introduction:
In Pakistan urban development was initially based on compact planning that created neighborhoods with mixed
land use, we find such kind of planning in wall city Lahore where every urban element has its own identity and
image which collectively reflects the image of the neighborhood or the community. With the ascent of automobiles
and the emergence of modern architecture people start looking beyond the walls of the city and the growth of
community starts towards the horizon, and they left the image or identity of the city within the walls of old Lahore.
Now as Architects we should try to reshape the community in its REAL sense to create a sense of place, belonging
and interactive community by introducing new urbanism in Lahore.
New Urbanism • Mixed use of land
• Derived from traditional urbanism. • Homes
• Initially a reaction to sprawl. • Workplaces
• Now a base for sustainable urban • Shops
growth. • Restaurants
• And a basis for addressing physical • Walkable Neighborhoods
health and social well-being • Rather than large single-use developments connected by streets hostile
to pedestrians
What is new urbanism?
A built environment which is diverse in use and population, scaled for the pedestrian, and
capable of accommodating the automobiles and mass transit.

3. Cricket Stadium
Sports play an important role in society. It provides positive learning experience besides developing self confidence.
Sportsmanship and ability to work in team. Our youth is deprived of sports facilities and its result in the form of
aggression, increasing addiction, frustration etc. among youth is obvious. Sportsmanship expresses an aspiration or
ethos that the activity will be enjoyed for its own sake, with proper consideration for fairness, ethics, respect, and a
sense of fellowship with one's competitors. Being a "good sport" involves being a "good winner" as well as being a "good
loser”.
Stadium Design:
The Stadium building itself should be a memorable landmark like
many of the architectural achievements of previous eras. Its
intention is, therefore, to create a unique venue to reflect its identity.
It will provide 30, 000 spectator capacity. As a state-of-the-art
facility, it will provide an inspirational venue for both players and
spectators alike. It will be capable of holding major national and
international sporting events while providing unsurpassed spectator
viewing facilities combined with comfort and safety.
Stadium Structure
The Stadium structure should create a sheltered seating bowl with the

required standard of spectator viewing and accommodation. To achieve this,
the structural engineering issues to be addressed include safety, stability,
serviceability and economy.
