The neighbourhood garden was isolated from the residential areas in the immediate surroundings. The city revamped the garden and made it more inclusive and accessible by opening a gate with the adjoining community of around 200 families thereby drastically reducing the circuitous travel to reach the garden. 2000 sq.m. of garden space was improved with buffer of air purifying plant species to reduce exposure to pollution from the surroundings, age-appropriate and nature-based play opportunities and a lactation room were added. The improvement has led to more outdoor time spent by children and women.

This existing park experiences high footfall of users from the surroundings. The city pedestrianized the main access street and created a public space of 720 sq.m. at the entrance to the garden by reorganizing municipal garbage truck and other vehicle parking. Also introduced a dedicated young children oriented play area of 500 sq.m. including sensory trails, play opportunities, seating and a lactation booth. This has led to more time spent by young children in the public space.

The anganwadi sees a high enrolment of women and young children being the only facility in the surrounding areas. The city revamped the anganwadi and its premises which had become a dump yard and encroached by various activities, hampering its functioning. The city induced a community led reclamation of the public space, influencing change in attitude towards the anganwadi. The 600 sq.m. of facility premises has become a positive public space and enhanced convenience of access for children and caregivers.

Interventions were done at South rajmaholla garden to develop children specific zones. 156sqm of park area included floor painted games form the entrance to the play space, young children specific play equipment, painting of trees & addition of decorative ribbons to make the space vibrant & welcoming for kids. Natural play elements like sandpit, stepping stones, wooden logs, fallen trees and planks for balancing, jumping etc. were added to develop cognitive and gross motor skills. This has given young children opportunities to interact with nature.

This anganwadi is situated along a prime location in the city, with high enrolment from the surrounding informal settlements and lacked in basic infrastructure. The city revamped the premises by repairing the building, providing water connection in toilets, drinking water taps, repair of play equipment, and organized parking along the entrance. The 180 sq.m. of transformed space has led to more convenience in usage of the premises by young children.
