A proposal to appoint an architect for the project would be tabled in the council's meeting on April 29. While the proposal for a museum was approved by the council last year, the plan for redevelopment of markets is yet to be cleared.
"We want to turn these markets into tourism and shopping hubs. It is a huge sprawl and we want to make the most of it. The Shaheed Bhagat Singh market will be open all night. The basic concept is ready, and we now have to appoint an architect to plan the redevelopment," said Jalaj Shrivastava, chairman, NDMC.
The first part of the project—the 3D museum at Gole Market—will be just about Lutyens' Delhi and the journey so far. It will include artefacts, old photographs and layouts prepared by British architects.
The history of Lutyens' Delhi will be presented in an interesting format. "The museum will be on the lines of Singapore's Merlion Towers . The 3D format will be a visual treat for visitors. We want to use of photos, videos and sound to transport people to that era. The museum will chronicle the important events that took place in Lutyens' Delhi after 1905," said Shrivastava, who has been monitoring the project.
Unlike other museums in Delhi, the civic agency plans to build small cubicles for holding slideshows. "It will be a well-planned tour. For restoration of the building, we have pulled out old building plans," he said.
For the second part of the project—redevelopment of the Shaheed Bhagat Singh market complex and neighbouring areas—the agency plan a 10-storey shopping complex that will be open all night, an open air amphitheatre and a multi-storey parking lot with space for 2,500-3 ,000 cars.
Both sides of Baird Lane near Shaheed Bhagat Singh Marg are encroached upon by tehbazaaris. On this lane, the agency has a two-storey complex which is underutilized due to high rent. The complex will be demolished to construct the 10-storey building, which will be used to rehabilitate tehbazaari owners.
"We have to accommodate tehbazaaris in the NDMC area. This complex will open up space for many of them. The complex has few shops and most of the building is occupied by different NDMC departments,'' he said.
The nearby vacant land, under Land & Development office (L&DO), will be developed as a green space with an open-air amphitheatre. "As there are many institutions in the vicinity, the space can be rented out for exhibitions, theatre, etc. We need to take the land from L&DO. All these projects increase the market's footfall . The parking lot will be underneath the multi-storey complex. People can park their vehicles and just walk down to the museum. We will not disturb the existing market on Shaheed Bhagat Singh Marg while carrying out the work," he said. Work on the project will begin soon.
