Vad Chowki Traffic Island Redevelopment | Urban Revival Project in Daman

As part of Daman’s ambitious urban revival initiative, the administration began a phased rejuvenation of landmark junctions and public spaces, with the refurbishment of traffic islands forming the first phase. Several corporates supported the initiative as part of their CSR activities, contributing to the city’s infrastructural and cultural enhancement.

ZERO9 was entrusted with the redesign of four landmark junctions in Daman, including the Vad Chowki Traffic Island, strategically located at the intersection of the Coastal Highway and Khariwad Main Road.

Drawing inspiration from the site’s history and natural heritage, the design concept celebrated the four iconic banyan trees from which Vad Chowki derives its name. The symbolic banyan leaf became the central design motif, highlighted at the junction as a tribute to the location’s identity and its deep-rooted connection to nature.

This project seamlessly blended urban design, cultural storytelling, and sustainable landscaping, enhancing the visual appeal of one of Daman’s busiest intersections while honoring its local heritage.
