The Northeast (NE) region of India is of great strategic significance due to its proximity to various national borders. Designed for better connectivity and communication, the township development at Likabali, located at the Assam border, is a part of a larger plan to reinforce harmony in this remote urban context. It aims to develop a holistic infrastructural framework with a structured approach to stabilise the unorganised development in this region. Spread along the Himalayan foothills over an area of 250 acres, the site is located 30 km from the Brahmaputra River and has a total built-up area of around 1,20,000 sq.m. The focal point of the master plan is the government headquarters building, which is strategically placed on the central axis of the linear site and is envisioned to be a notable landmark. The planning integrates residential blocks with public facilities such as religious institutes and various sports and recreational buildings. Additionally, a 200-bed hospital provides a much-required healthcare facility in this isolated region. The site planning is complemented with efficient landscape, balancing the built forms with green areas for the public. Designed with clear views, a sense of order and clarity of movement, the development seeks to reinforce the aspects of stability and self-sufficiency in this region.
