Abstract

Abstract: The architecture of built forms in urban public spaces, mainly the retail commercial sector, plays a crucial role in creating better places in the city for a wide spectrum of user groups. These are the public buildings which are required to be accessed by its citizens for their various needs of amenities, services and shopping. In contemporary times, the market streets in neighbourhoods lined with commercial buildings are fast changing towards becoming economically viable for landowners and businessmen rather than catering to the needs of all users. In this process of transformation, the architecture of the built and street interface has borne a critical characteristic that has impacted accessibility and inclusivity. This paper assesses one such case study in the city of Bengaluru – Gandhi Bazaar Street and its culturally rich market for the neighbourhood and the city as well. The study revealed that making certain amendments in the built form regulations can ease the approachability and accessibility to the built and street interface like provision of at- grade access, ramp; thereby making the built forms physically accessible, also facade designs that are visually appealing, socially inclusive and also economically viable for the retailers.
