The document discusses bioaesthetic planning, which involves the conscious planting of ornamental trees and flowers to beautify towns and villages. It aims to plant flowering trees along roads, in parks, and public and private spaces. Bioaesthetic planning was pioneered by M.S. Randhawa in Chandigarh and provides environmental, social, and aesthetic benefits. Suitable areas for bioaesthetic planning include industrial areas, roads, water fronts, public buildings, and private homes. Trees can reduce temperatures, filter air pollution, absorb noise, and beautify urban landscapes.

2. • Conscious plan of the Flora (Plants) and Fauna
(Animals) with the objective of beautifying the country.
• It includes the planting of ornamental flowering trees
along the city roads, in parks, public places, and
compound & houses both in towns & villages. It also
includes the development of 'nature parks' for the
preservation of beautiful non-carnivorous animals &
the creation of bird sanctuaries.

3. •The term bioaesthetic planning is coined by Poff.
Lanceolate Hogbean.
• M. S. Randhawa was the flag bearer of Bio-
aesthetic planning (created garden city of
Chandigarh) along with Le Corbusier.
• The objective of a bioaesthetic planning for
India is the encouragement of planting of
selected ornamental flowering trees in our towns
& villages.

4. The bio-aesthetic planners are master artists whose
canvas is an entire country & whose pigments are
beautiful flowering plants.
They paint the canvas of countryside in vibrant
colors like blue, orange, red, yellow, scarlet & pink.
With colorful flowering trees, they decorate the
sidewalks of the roads, platforms of railway
stations, the canal banks, the compounds of houses
& the public buildings.

5. Principle
• Ecotourism is about uniting conservation, communities,
and sustainable travel.
• Build environmental and cultural awareness and respect.
• Provide positive experiences for both visitors and hosts.
• Provide direct financial benefits for conservation.
• Provide financial benefits and empowerment for local
people.
• Raise sensitivity to host countries’ political,
environmental, and social climate.
• Support international human rights and labour
agreements

10. Areas for Bio-aesthetic Planning
• Public places which belong to the community as a
whole, rather than to individuals, should be given
priority in bic- aesthetic planning.
• Public parks and gardens.
• Public places such as hospitals, banks, courts, post
offices, university campuses, schools, colleges, cak
bungalows, etc.
• National, state, district, block and village roads.
• Airports, railway tracks, bus stands, bus terminals,
railway stations, railway junctions, highways and canal
banks.

11. • Religious places such as temples, mosques,
churches, gurdwaras, etc.
• Village panchayat ghars, community lands,
chaupals, etc.
• Burning ghats, cemeteries, etc.
• Private hotels, shopping complexes, private
residential colonies, etc.
• Individual home gardens.

12. Benefits of Bio-aesthetic Planning
• Bio-aesthetic planning not only beautifies the
environment but also makes it more livable and
ecologically stable.
• It improves microclimate, mitigates pollution, helps
in noise abatement,
• Creates habitat for many animal species, adds
variety of form, colour and texture to the
environment and
• Brings about positive changes in human behavior .

13. Temperature and energy use :
• Plants can be successfully used to mitigate heat. Their leaves
intercept, reflect, absorb and transmit solar radiations.
• Trees are called nature’s air conditioners because they lower
air temperature, shade buildings in the summer and block
winter winds.
• Thus, trees can reduce building energy use and cooling costs
• A single large tree can produce the cooling effect of 10 room
size air conditioners operating 24 hours/day.

14. Air quality:
• Plants help in controlling air pollution through acting
as biological and physically nets.
• They cleanse the air by intercepting and slowing dust
and other particulate materials causing them to fall
out, and by absorbing pollutant gases.
• Fragrance of many flowers mask unpleasant odours
there by imparting freshness to air.

15. Tree suitable to reduce air pollution:
• Tropics
• Acacia auriculiformis(Auri)
• Albizia lebbeck (Siris)
• Ailanthus excelsa(Heaven tree)
• Alstonia macrophylla(Hard milkwood)
• A. scholaris (Devil tree)
• Azadirachta indica (Neem)
• Butea frondosa(Flame of forest)
• Cassia fistula (Amaltas)
• C. marginat(Cassia Rose tree)
• Madhuca indica(Butter tree)
• Parkinsonia aculeata(Ram babul )
• Polyalthia longifolia
• Putranjiva roxburgi(Lucky bean tree)
Temperate areas
•
• Acer platanoides(Norway
maple)
• A. saccharinum(Silver maple)
• A. negundo (Box elder)
• Betula pendula(Silver birch)
• Forsythia suspense(Golden bell)
• Ligustrum vulgare(Common
privet)
• Platanus orientalis(Oriental
plane tree)
• Pyracantha coccinea(scarlet
firethorn)
• Quercus palustris(Pin Oak)
• Q. rubra (N. Red Oak)
• Robinia pseudocacia(Black
locust)

16. Precipitation and Humidity:
• Plants intercept precipitation and slow it’s decent
to soil surface thus increasing infiltration and
reducing runoff and soil erosion.
• Pubescence on leaves help in water entrapment.
• Plants with horizontal branching and rough bark are
most effective.
• Humidity is increased in hot and dry season by
means of transpiration.

17. Noise abatement :
• A noise level above 80 decibels creates tension and
increase in blood pressure.
• Urban residential areas can be protected by a row
of dense shrubs backed by row of tall trees, total 20
feet wide.
• Plants having thick and fleshy leaves with petioles,
which allow the higher degree of flexibility and
vibration are best suited for use as noise screens.

18. Tree suitable to redue noise pollution:
• Tropics
• Alstonia scholaris (Devil tree)
• Azadirachta indica(Neem)
• Butea monosperma(Flame of forest)
• Erythrina variegata(Indian coral tree)
• Eucalyptus citriodora(Lemon scented gum)
• Grevillea robusta(Silky oak)
• Kigelia pinnata (Sausage Tree)
• Madhuca indica(Butter tree)
• Mangifera indica (Mango)
• Morus alba(White mulberry)
• Pterspermum acerifolium(Bayur tree)
• Terminalia arjuna (Arjun tree)
Temperate areas
•
• Alnus viridis(Green alder)
• A. crispa (Japanese holly)
• Betula nana (Dwarf birch)
• Braya purpurascens(Purplish
braya)
• Dryas integrifolia (Mountain
avens)
• Salix planifolia(Tea leaf
willow)

19. Wind protection and air movement:
• Trees perpendicular to wind direction may reduce
the wind speed up to distance of 2-5 times the
height of the tallest tree on windward side and 30-
40 times on the leeward side.
• Trees can be planted to funnel or baffle wind away
from areas – both vertical and horizontal
concentration of foliage can modify air movement
patterns.

20. Ecological benefits:
• Biodiversity maintains ecological balance and
continues evolutionary processes.
• The indirect ecosystem services provided through
biodiversity are photosynthesis, pollination,
transpiration, chemical cycling, nutrient cycling, soil
maintenance, climate regulation, air, water system
management, waste treatment and pest control.

21. Aesthetic value :
• Trees change skyline, add variety of form, colour
and texture to otherwise dull and monotonous
cities.
• They soften the harshness of concrete structures,
complement architectural lines, inframe views and
provide background settings to buildings.
• Plants can be very effectively used to screen
undesirable and disturbing sight lines.
