The main shopping mall occupies the site of the demolished Walkers factory. All the shops in the town could be moved into the new proposal. This would permit those on the Ariel highway to access the shops easily and even walk through the shopping areas on the Aerial walkways. The existing Kandy market is to be revamped, and the area beyond to have ‘U’ shaped shopping configurations with the central area of the ‘U’ heavily landscaped and the main shopping brought closer to the raised walkway with the open arms of the ‘U’ celebrating the landscaping closer to the peripheral road. An up-market shopping mall, with internal streets, for locals and tourists, and another for everyday shopping for the residents of Kandy, even incorporating and celebrating the traditional Pola, is also proposed, all conveniently accessible.

Two attitudes toward shopping are proposed. A total pedestrian movement from the Bus/Train terminus to the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic, is achievable. Raised walkways would take passengers to where they wished to go. The need to safely take pilgrims from the Bus/Train terminus to the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic, could be easily achieved through an aerial-landscaped pedestrian precinct. With the buses off the road, there is a need to facilitate human movement through the space, without encountering any traffic. A commuter wishing to access other areas in the sacred city would be encouraged to take the small shuttle buses, from the Bus/Train terminus, which would operate at a standard fixed fare. This would ensure that no buses would be parked on the roads of Kandy, in the future. All peripheral activity required for the commuter, like food kades and toilets, will be provided below and on the extended platform. A large base platform, with perforated openings suitably placed to bring in light and ventilation, would ensure a pleasant environment for the trains’ passengers. Upper terrace with direct access from the lakeĬommuters arriving by train would go up and take a bus, and those coming by bus could go down and take the train. The bus stand would be raised on columns, and the railway could still function. Gopallawa and Peradeniya Mawatha could be easily reached from a raised platform. We, instead proposed a solution to buy air rights and raise the bus stand onto an elevated platform above the railway premises. Is there a new location for the bus stand? There is no land available in the vicinity.Ĭould we create a Bus/Train transport terminal? The Railway Department owned about a couple hundred acres around the railway station, instead of looking for land and buying land rights. The bus parking was unsightly, and a solution was found to change that. There had to be a drastic solution for the buses.

However, under privatisation, the buses stayed on the roads, as close as possible to the stand, throughout the night, with the drivers and conductors sleeping in the bus. In the past, in the days of the bus depots, the vehicles retired to the depot for the night. The first Visual pollution and impact on arrival in Kandy, is that it has been expanded to a great big bus stand. Our investigations showed Kandy has four problems: a high complement of buses parked on the roads, inadequate car parking in the city, the lack of a drainage system, and extra heavy development pressure on the inner city. There were some issues related to the Master plan that had to be respected and elucidated to arrive at a holistic concept for an important sensitive heritage city like Kandy. But some portions of the plan have been implemented intermittently, claiming to be others’ ideas. For some reason, the UDA did not implement the original Master plan concept, as proposed in the Master plan. The First prize in the open Master Plan competition was won by ADV Consultants. The competition was open for a specified time limit and Architect Geoffrey Bawa served as the jury’s Chairman. In 1994, the Department of Archaeology, The Central Cultural Fund and the Kandy Municipal Council held an open competition to develop a sensitive area in the heritage city of Kandy – the space between Bogambara Lake and the railway station.
