Patrick Geddes was a Scottish biologist, sociologist, geographer, philanthropist and pioneering town planner known as the "Father of Modern Town Planning". He introduced concepts like the "region" in architecture and planning. Geddes believed that a region influences and is influenced by the cities within it, represented by his "Geddian Trio" of activity, work, and place. He coined the term "conurbation" to describe merged cities and regions influenced by new transportation technologies. Some of Geddes' plans included the master plan for Tel Aviv which emphasized pedestrians, greenery, and civic spaces. He also developed the "constellation theory" of regional planning around groupings of interconnected cities.
This document provides an overview of the evolution of town planning in India from ancient to modern times. It describes the key features of towns during different historical periods, including the Indus Valley civilization, Vedic period, Buddhist period, medieval period under the Mughals, pre-independence period under British rule, and post-independence period. Important towns that emerged during each period are highlighted, along with the influences of rulers and planning approaches during that time.

REGIONAL PLAN: A CASE OF MUMBAI METROPOLITAN REGIONYash Shah
Regional planning deals with the efficient placement of land-use activities, infrastructure, and settlement growth across a larger area of land than an individual city or town. Regional planning is a sub-field of urban planning as it relates land use practices on a broader scale. It also includes formulating laws that will guide the efficient planning and management of such said regions.
Regions require various land uses; protection of farmland, cities, industrial space, transportation hubs and infrastructure, military bases, and wilderness. Regional planning is the science of efficient placement of infrastructure and zoning for the sustainable growth of a region. Advocates for regional planning such as new urbanist Peter Calthorpe, promote the approach because it can address region-wide environmental, social, and economic issues which may necessarily require a regional focus.
A ‘region’ in planning terms can be administrative or at least partially functional, and is likely to include a network of settlements and character areas. In most European countries, regional and national plans are ‘spatial’ directing certain levels of development to specific cities and towns in order to support and manage the region depending on specific needs, for example supporting or resisting polycentrism.
The Mumbai Metropolitan Planning Committee (MMPC) was formed under the provisions of the Maharashtra Metropolitan Planning Committee Act 1999 and has been entrusted with the task of preparing a Regional Plan for the Mumbai Metropolitan Area with help from MMRDA. Currently, the Regional Plan 1996 is in operation which was prepared by the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) and sanctioned in 1999. The MMRDA was established under the MMRDA Act, 1974 and undertook the revision of the First regional plan prepared by the Regional Planning Board and sanctioned in 1973, under the provisions of the MR& TP Act, 1966.
AFFORADBLE HOUSING SHORTAGE IN INDIA: - A CASE STUDY OF SURATYash Shah
Causes of Housing Shortage in India can be list out as following:
• Rapid population growth
• Migration
• Urbanization
• Limited land supply
• Affordability
• War and Violence
• Lack of financing etc
Affordable housing is defined as any housing that meets some form of affordability criterion.
The affordability criterion is different for different countries. For example in United States
and Canada, a common accepted criterion for affordable housing is that the cost of housing
should not be more than 30 percent of a household's gross income. Housing costs include
taxes and insurance for owners, and utility costs.

Gagan Vihar falls in zone E and sub zone E-10 in eastern Delhi. It was developed in 1972 as a plotted residential colony. The area is well connected to nearby areas via arterial roads and public transportation like the Preet Vihar metro station. Land use is primarily residential, comprising of plotted housing ranging from single to four stories. In recent years, there has been an increase in built-up area and building heights as plots redevelop to the maximum permissible FAR under the master plans. Basic physical and social infrastructure is available but requires improvements to fully meet growing demands.

The document discusses the history and types of development plans in India. It notes that India's planning processes were adopted from British legislation, with early master plans focusing on spatial distribution of land uses. However, master plans were criticized for being ineffective due to issues like lack of funding and monitoring. The Development Plan for Bombay in 1964 was more detailed and effective but led to unplanned peripheral growth. The document outlines different types of development plans used in India, including comprehensive, zonal, regional, and local area plans, with comprehensive development plans aiming to create productive and equitable cities through consultation and infrastructure investment planning.

Sir Patrick Geddes was a Scottish biologist, sociologist, geographer, philanthropist and pioneering town planner in the late 19th/early 20th century. He is known for his innovative thinking in fields like urban planning and sociology. Some of his key contributions include introducing the concepts of "region" and "conurbation" to architecture and planning. A conurbation refers to a region comprising cities and towns that have merged due to population growth and expansion. Geddes coined the term and provided examples like the Greater London area. He also developed theories around the relationships between a population ("folk") and their environment ("place") and means of work, which influenced his approach to regional and urban planning.

role of state and market in housing delivery for low income groupsvikashsaini78
The document summarizes the role of the state, private sector, housing cooperatives, and financial institutions in providing housing for low-income groups in India. It discusses how early government programs from the 1950s-1980s primarily benefited higher income groups and failed to address the acute housing shortage. While the private sector now provides 84% of housing, most housing for the poor is informal and illegal as land is acquired at low cost. More recently, policies have aimed to enable affordable housing for all income groups through strengthening private and cooperative housing as well as expanding access to housing finance.

Regional Development: Suggestions for a New Approach to Rural DevelopmentParth Sadaria
This document discusses regional rural development in India. It notes that while urban problems receive more attention, rural areas face significant challenges as well due to inefficient infrastructure, lack of employment and poor amenities. Traditional rural development efforts have been ineffective at addressing these problems. The author argues for a new regional development approach that focuses on balanced growth across villages through improved physical, electronic and knowledge connectivity to link rural communities and drive economic development. The research aims to evaluate different rural development strategies and identify an approach that can better promote livelihoods.

PLANNING PRINCIPLES OF LE CORBUSIER – A CASE STUDY OF CHANDIGARH CITY”Yash Shah
The city has a pre-historic past. The gently sloping plains on which modern Chandigarh exists, was in the ancient past, a wide lake ringed by a marsh. The fossil remains found at the site indicate a large variety of aquatic and amphibian life, which was supported by that environment. About 8000 years ago the area was also known to be a home to the Harappans. Since the medieval through modern era, the area was part of the large and prosperous Punjab Province which was divided into East & West Punjab during partition of the country in 1947. The city was conceived not only to serve as the capital of East Punjab, but also to resettle thousands of refugees who had been uprooted from West Punjab. In March, 1948, the Government of Punjab, in consultation with the Government of India, approved the area of the foothills of the Shivaliks as the site for the new capital. The location of the city site was a part of the erstwhile Ambala district as per the 1892-93 gazetteer of District Ambala. The foundation stone of the city was laid in 1952. Subsequently, at the time of reorganization of the state on 01.11.1966 into Punjab, Haryana and Himachal Pardesh, the city assumed the unique distinction of being the capital city of both, Punjab and Haryana while it itself was declared as a Union Territory and under the direct control of the Central Government.
The Union Territory of Chandigarh is located in the foothills of the Shivalik hill ranges in the north, which form a part of the fragile Himalayan ecosystem. It is occupied by Kandi (Bhabhar) in the north east and Sirowal (Tarai) and alluvial plains in the remaining part. The subsurface formation comprises of beds of boulders, pebbles, gravel, sand, silt, clays and some kankar. The area is drained by two seasonal rivulets viz. Sukhna Choe in the east and Patiala-Ki-Rao Choe in the west. The central part forms a surface water divide and has two minor streams.

Northfield Township Master Plan (final_6_17_13)JGNelson
This document is the 2012 Master Plan for Northfield Township, Michigan. It contains information on planning processes, regional context, guiding principles, existing land use, community goals and policies, sub area plans, a future land use plan, transportation plan, and implementation strategies. The plan was developed through public input like planning fairs and surveys to guide future decision making and development in the township over the coming years. It establishes a vision and policies for topics like agriculture, residential development, commercial areas, and transportation.
This Report is one of six studies in the first phase of the EU project on “Costs and Benefits of Labour Mobility between the EU and the Eastern Partnership Partner Countries.” It aims to provide an informed view on the potential for increased migration flows and their consequences as a result of possible changes in the migration policies of the European Union with regard to Moldova. Since Moldova’s Declaration of Independence in 1990, migration has transformed the country in ways that were impossible to predict. With over a quarter of its labour force now working abroad (a full ten percent of its population), Moldova has become the epitome of a migration-dependent country, with all the costs and benefits associated with this definition. Remittances are as high as one-third of national income, and have helped the country raise its living standards and fuel investment in housing and small businesses. Yet there have also been costs to the large migratory flows, ranging from effects on the macroeconomy to the disruption of social life. All in all, migration has been good for Moldova. This complex socio-economic phenomenon now appears to have stabilized. Further gains for Moldova and its partner countries could be achieved when new agreements are implemented and the institutions dealing with the planning of migration and protection of migrants are strengthened.

Natural Language Processing (NLP), RAG and its applications .pptxfkyes25
1. In the realm of Natural Language Processing (NLP), knowledge-intensive tasks such as question answering, fact verification, and open-domain dialogue generation require the integration of vast and up-to-date information. Traditional neural models, though powerful, struggle with encoding all necessary knowledge within their parameters, leading to limitations in generalization and scalability. The paper "Retrieval-Augmented Generation for Knowledge-Intensive NLP Tasks" introduces RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation), a novel framework that synergizes retrieval mechanisms with generative models, enhancing performance by dynamically incorporating external knowledge during inference.

State of Artificial intelligence Report 2023kuntobimo2016
Artificial intelligence (AI) is a multidisciplinary field of science and engineering whose goal is to create intelligent machines.
We believe that AI will be a force multiplier on technological progress in our increasingly digital, data-driven world. This is because everything around us today, ranging from culture to consumer products, is a product of intelligence.
The State of AI Report is now in its sixth year. Consider this report as a compilation of the most interesting things we’ve seen with a goal of triggering an informed conversation about the state of AI and its implication for the future.
We consider the following key dimensions in our report:
Research: Technology breakthroughs and their capabilities.
Industry: Areas of commercial application for AI and its business impact.
Politics: Regulation of AI, its economic implications and the evolving geopolitics of AI.
Safety: Identifying and mitigating catastrophic risks that highly-capable future AI systems could pose to us.
Predictions: What we believe will happen in the next 12 months and a 2022 performance review to keep us honest.
End-to-end pipeline agility - Berlin Buzzwords 2024Lars Albertsson
We describe how we achieve high change agility in data engineering by eliminating the fear of breaking downstream data pipelines through end-to-end pipeline testing, and by using schema metaprogramming to safely eliminate boilerplate involved in changes that affect whole pipelines.
A quick poll on agility in changing pipelines from end to end indicated a huge span in capabilities. For the question "How long time does it take for all downstream pipelines to be adapted to an upstream change," the median response was 6 months, but some respondents could do it in less than a day. When quantitative data engineering differences between the best and worst are measured, the span is often 100x-1000x, sometimes even more.
A long time ago, we suffered at Spotify from fear of changing pipelines due to not knowing what the impact might be downstream. We made plans for a technical solution to test pipelines end-to-end to mitigate that fear, but the effort failed for cultural reasons. We eventually solved this challenge, but in a different context. In this presentation we will describe how we test full pipelines effectively by manipulating workflow orchestration, which enables us to make changes in pipelines without fear of breaking downstream.
Making schema changes that affect many jobs also involves a lot of toil and boilerplate. Using schema-on-read mitigates some of it, but has drawbacks since it makes it more difficult to detect errors early. We will describe how we have rejected this tradeoff by applying schema metaprogramming, eliminating boilerplate but keeping the protection of static typing, thereby further improving agility to quickly modify data pipelines without fear.
ViewShift: Hassle-free Dynamic Policy Enforcement for Every Data LakeWalaa Eldin Moustafa
Dynamic policy enforcement is becoming an increasingly important topic in today’s world where data privacy and compliance is a top priority for companies, individuals, and regulators alike. In these slides, we discuss how LinkedIn implements a powerful dynamic policy enforcement engine, called ViewShift, and integrates it within its data lake. We show the query engine architecture and how catalog implementations can automatically route table resolutions to compliance-enforcing SQL views. Such views have a set of very interesting properties: (1) They are auto-generated from declarative data annotations. (2) They respect user-level consent and preferences (3) They are context-aware, encoding a different set of transformations for different use cases (4) They are portable; while the SQL logic is only implemented in one SQL dialect, it is accessible in all engines.

1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND
A City Development Plan is both a perspective and a vision for the future
development of a city. It presents the current stage of the city’s development -where
are we now? It sets out the directions of change - where do we want to go? It
identifies the thrust areas — what do we need to address on a priority basis? It also
suggests alternative routes, strategies, and interventions for bringing about the
change - what interventions do we make in order to attain the vision? It provides a
framework and vision within which projects need to be identified and implemented.
It establishes a logical and consistent framework for evaluation of investment
decisions.
1.2 CONCEPT AND PRINCIPLES OF CITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN
The City Development Plan is both a planning process and a product, which
promotes partnership among various stakeholders in a city- the city government, the
private business sector, civil society, academic, and national government agencies-
to jointly analyze growth issues, develop a vision for the future, formulate
development strategies, design programmes, prioritize projects, mobilize resources,
implement, monitor and evaluate implementation. The CDP is anchored on the
following principles of a sustainable city.
1. Livability - what can be done to ensure a healthy and dignified standard of
living for the city's residents?
2. Competitiveness - how can the cities be more competitive in the global
economy?
3. Bankability - how can the cities be more sustainable? How can public-private
partnerships be promoted and/or enhanced?
4. Good Governance - how can a city's management be improved? How can
accountability, integrity and transparency be made an integral part of a city's
management?
1.3 AIM
To prepare a city development plan for PONDA city with holistic view on city
sanitation plan.

1.4 OBJECTIVES
• To understand the evolution of the city & develop suitable indicators for
development of the city.
• Assess the current situation in respect of demographic & socio-economic
attributes, land use, housing situation, social & physical infrastructure, tourism
activities etc.
• To identify the development issues in each of the above section.
• Prepare a vision & strategic framework keeping in view constraints &
development potential of the city to provide better living facilities for the
people.
• To evolve at the city development plan for Ponda city.
1.5 SCOPE OF THE STUDY
• Preparation of city development plan for PONDA municipal area
• Feasibility report on sewerage of PONDA municipal area
• Ponda City sanitation plan
• Sewerage scheme for Ponda municipal area.
1.6 WORKING METHODOLOGY OF CASE STUDY-PONDA
STAGE – 1
ANALYSIS OF THE EXISTING SITUATION
• In-depth analysis of the existing situation of the city shall be taken up to assess
‘where the city is’. This would be based on reconnaissance survey, secondary data
collection, household surveys, public consultations and individual stakeholder
consultations. The analysis shall focus on the following sectors:
• Demography ,Land utilization , physical Infrastructure like Water supply ,
Sewerage ,Solid waste management , Drainage ,Traffic and transportation , Street
lighting ,Social infrastructure, Physical and environmental aspects of the city ,
Institutions related to service delivery in the city , Social infrastructure , Basic services
to urban poor.
STAGE – 2
DEVELOPMENT OF VISION FOR THE CITY
• The City Development Plan would aim at developing a vision for the city’s future
based on consultations with the citizens’ representatives. A city vision would be
formulated based on an assessment of the existing situation to determine ‘where the
city is’ and ‘where it wants to go’. Vision for the city shall be developed based on
assessing the strengths and weaknesses of the city and identification of the sectors
12. City Development Plan- PONDA / SIDCGL
PAGE 11
where the city has maximum potential for growth. This vision would bank upon the
city’s competitive advantages in the local, regional and National context while
considering the preferences of the city’s residents.
• A vision for the future development of the city over the next 25 years (till 2039),
which is based on consensus amongst the citizens, shall be identified and all the
future objectives, strategies and targets shall have to be aligned with this vision. The
outcomes and milestones for the vision would be defined within a time frame.
STAGE – 3
SECTORAL GOALS AND STRATEGIES
• In line with the vision formulated for the development of the city, the prime sectors
would be identified which need to be focused on in order to materialize the vision
for the city. This would be done in consultation with the citizens’ representatives
through a Workshop. After identifying the priority sectors, a strategy for the
development of each sector shall be formulated in consultation with the citizens and
based on this, the sectorial goal and targets shall be defined.
STAGE – 4
PRIORITIZATION OF STRATEGIES AND EVALUATION OF ALTERNATE STRATEGIES
• The Sectorial strategies and goals shall be prioritized and selected based on their
relevance to the Vision and to the upliftment of urban poor. A well-defined
‘prioritization strategy’ shall be formulated for selection of strategies. An urban
renewal strategy (where required) shall also be formulated.
STAGE – 5
IDENTIFICATION AND PRIORITIZATION OF PROJECTS
• Based on stakeholder consultations, and relevance to the vision and maximum
impact, a set of projects shall be identified which need to be implemented in order
to attain the Vision. These projects shall be sectorial and shall be prioritized based
on strategic planning.
STAGE -6
PREPARATION OF CITY INVESTMENT PLAN
• A City investment plan shall be made to outline the flow of investments required
for attainment of the City Vision in a phased manner and the possible sources of
funding for the same.

2.4 HISTORICAL BACKGROUND OF PONDA
Ponda, known as Antruz Mahal because of the concentration of culture,
music, drama and poetry also houses the temples of Lord Mangesh (Shiva), Lord
Nagesh, Lord Ganapati, Lord Ramnath and the Goddesses Mhalasa and
Shantdurga.
Ponda can be described as the Hindu heart of Goa. It is famous for the five
important temples that are situated around the town, and also has the largest
mosque in Goa. Most of these temples look relatively new as they have been
restored after being destroyed by the Portuguese. That explains why there are no
temples around the coast, which was the prime territory of the Portuguese. Ponda is
also an important transport link.
The city of Ponda lies about 28kms south-east of Panaji and 17kms north-east
of Margao and is also the capital of Ponda Taluka. The town was born after the
Portuguese took over the area in 1791 from the Raja of Sonda and annexed it
along with Quepem, Canacona and Sanguem forming the New Conquests.
Today it is an industrial city with many large factories and industrial estates
nearby. Goa's only engineering college, the Goa College of Engineering is located
at nearby Farmagudi.
Ponda Taluka is most famous for its temples, most of which have made the
area their home for centuries following displacement from their original sites
elsewhere in Portuguese occupied Goa during the early days of the Inquisition.
Ponda is also the gateway to Goa's wildlife sanctuaries, both the Bondla and
the Mahavir Wildlife Sanctuary and also the Dudhsagar Waterfalls.
The temples are concentrated in two main clusters: the first to the north of
Ponda, on the busy NH4, and the second deep in the countryside, around 5 km
west of the town. Most people only manage the Shri Manguesh and Shri Mahalsa,
between the villages of Mardol and Priol.
Among the most interesting temples in the state, they lie just a stone's throw
from the main highway and are passed by regular buses between Panjim and
Margao via Ponda.

6. CITY SERVICES AND UTILITIES
6.1 INTRODUCTION
City services or urban services include those services, which are essential to run
the city life. This section reviews the existing situation and issues related to core
Municipal Services such as Water Supply, Sewerage, Storm Water Drainage, Solid
Waste Management, Street lighting in terms of their current levels of service,
coverage and key issues
6.2 WATER SUPPLY
There is no exclusive water supply scheme for Ponda city alone but the city has
been covered under ‘Regional Water Supply Project namely OPA Water Supply Scheme’. The
OPA scheme has been originally conceived in Portuguese Regime with River
Khanderpar as a source in the year 1957 with a designed capacity of 8 MLD.
Subsequently, the OPA water supply scheme has been limited to only two Taluks
namely Tiswadi and Ponda.
6.2.1 Existing capacities of OPA water works
The original 8 MLD capacity scheme has been augmented with capacities of
12 MLD in the year 1967 and subsequently, 54 MLD in 1972 with allocation of 35 MLD
water for Ponda Taluk and 40 MLD of water for Tiswadi Taluk. The said water works
were about 37 KMs from the Panaji city and the transmission is through pumping up
to Curti and thereby gravity from Curti to Altino. The ultimate distribution from Altino
to Panaji area was through gravity.
In view of the ever-growing demands for industrial sector in Ponda and also
domestic and institutional needs of Tiswadi, recently, another augmentation with
treatment capacity of 40 MLD capacities has been implemented. Hence, the total
capacity of treatment available as on
date is 114 MLD.

west to city. From the past years the city has never been floods, hence Ponda is not
a flood prone area. The streams from the town i.e. Drains are joining finally to Zuari
River. One major Nalla flowing through the Centre of the city of which all the waste
water rom HH is joining in to Nalla and this drain is mixing with Zuari River.
6.3.1 Existing Scenario
Drains are located on both sides of the road.
Drains which are located in Residential areas are closed whereas in
commercial/Urban Poor Settlement they remain open.
All these drains are joining into Nalla, which is a stream of Zuari River.
Main Nalla (Stream) in which all drains get joined. Existing Situation of Drain

6.4 SEWERAGE
6.4.1 EXISTING SEWERAGE SYSTEM
The population according to 2011 census is 22664. At present, there is no system
for the disposal of common sewage and waste water in Ponda town. About 60% of
the building specially the new multi-storied building are provided with septic tanks
but due to the topography of the area & poor absorption of the effluents, in laterite
strata the effluent leakage create health hazards and environmental problem. The
project is planned to cater the needs of Ponda town for environmental up-gradation.
Ponda and surrounding areas do not have independent and separate sewerage
system. The open surface drains serve the twin objectives of sewage collection /
transportation throughout the year and storm water drainage in monsoon season.
These drains are serves of transporting the waste water as well as storm water of many
areas to the river without treatment. These are also not inadequately designed too,
resulting in frequent over flow.
Sewerage system in the city is very weak and needs up gradation, there are
no sewerage treatment plants in the city.
All the sewer lines and drainage lines in the city are connected to the Nalla
which is flowing from the Centre of the city.
All the house hold waste, industrial effluents are directly disposed in to the
Nalla without treatment, since the Nalla is completely diliapated and highly
polluted.
PRESENT STATUS
City doesn’t have efficient sewerage system.
Quantity of sewerage generated in the city is about 10 MLD.
There are no sewerage treatment plants in the city.
There are two public toilets in the city, one is at market, and another is at old
bus stop.
SIDCGL provided a self-sustained treatment plant with phytogenic
technology for only 110 residential plots in the city and the treated water is
being utilized for the gardening and building construction purposes.
Charges of 35% of water supply is collected from the individual plots for the
treatment plant provided.
More than 95% of the sewerage generated is disposed in to the Nalla without
treatment.
There are about 8 complaints per month regarding sewerage from residents
and farmers
46. City Development Plan- PONDA / SIDCGL
PAGE 45
6.4.2 Existing Treatment Facility
Since no regular sewerage systems are provided for Ponda Municipal area as
such there is no treatment facility available for the treatment of sewage.
Approximately 60% of the total house dwellings have facilities of septic tanks and the
rests of the households are having latrines with or without septic tanks. So the
domestic untreated sewage directly gets mixed with the regular waste water which
further joins the collecting system and ultimately meets the river. Zuari.
SIDCGL provided a self-sustained treatment plant with phytogenic technology
for only 110 residential plots in the city and the treated water is being utilized for the
gardening and building construction purposes. Charges of 35% of water supply is
collected from the individual plots for the treatment plant provided.
SIDGCL divided sewerage project area in to 11 sewerage districts in which
Ponda town lies in 5 of the sewerage districts.
There is no sewerage scheme in Town.
The waste water from the Nalla is treated by SIDGCL and then the water is
allowed to join Zuari River.

Transportation plays an important role in the growth and development of any
settlement. It enhances the linkages of the town with other settlements and it also
improves the connectivity within the town. This section covers the scenario of
transportation sector and related problems and issues.
6.6.1 ROAD NETWORK IN MUNICIPAL BOUNDARY
The city is connected by roads to the Goan capital of Panaji and the main
railway junction of Margao. Regularly-scheduled bus services to Panaji and Margao
depart from the Kadamba Transport Corporation bus stand on the outskirts of the
town. Buses to nearby villages and towns, as well as interstate buses, also depart
from the same bus stand. There are buses regularly between Ponda
and Dharwad, Hubli and Belgaum run by the Karnataka State Road Transport
Corporation.

6.6.2 Parking
The traveling needs are fulfilled by different modes of transport. Within town
the auto rickshaws and two wheelers taxis play major role for transportation of local
passengers/commuter and tourists to nearby places. Apart from public transport,
private cars and motorbike are also used for localized movement. But as far as
parking is concerned, the numbers of parking places are not commensurate to the
number of vehicles available in the city. There is lack of parking places in the whole
city. Although it is marked that vehicles are parked on road on proper manner but
the inadequate width roads are not sufficient to accommodate high number of
vehicles.

Congestion: The city is highly congested, and because of the congestion and
narrow streets the maintenance infrastructure facility becomes very cumbersome.
Slums are a bye-product of uncontrolled urbanization, the growing service
population with in the city demands proper housing.
To meet the future demand and to maintain a good quality of life, re-densification
of some areas is required. Housing arrangement for the governmental, other
public and semipublic agencies may be undertaken in group housing.

findings and the shared perception that emerged. The consultations aimed to
articulate stakeholders’ expectations enabling the consultants thereby to formulate
city development vision; prioritize city development issues and evolve strategies or
action choices for development. The methodology of consultation involved the

11.2 NATURAL FEATURES OF PONDA & THE FRAGILE NATURE OF THE AREA
The industrial center of the state, Ponda is home to many large factories and
industrial estates, and is Goa's fastest-growing city.
The city has a Nalla, Stream of Zuari River which is polluted by the waste from
HH and Industries. Pollution levels are increasing– reasons need to be
explored.
BPL families who are living in wards 5, 6 and 7 don not appear on official
records. However there are presence of beggars / pavement dwellers, poor
migrant laborers on construction sites etc. whose presence has a bearing on
city infrastructure and urban services.
Transport – one of the problems is bad road geometry/ alignment / bad
signage’s /, absence of regulations.
More public toilets are required in view of the large number of tourists coming
into the City. In the absence of such public toilets tourists resort to public
places for answering nature's calls.
In need of Sewerage scheme which needs to be implemented using GIS and
3D images by identifying problems.

11.3 PRIORITIZATION MATRIX
The assessment of the status of the various sectors in the city has brought in a set of
issues for city development. While all issues are important, it was considered
necessary to prioritize them in order to address them more effectively. The
prioritization of the issues has been done based on several criteria including
stakeholder perception and technical assessment.
Tab 11.2 Prioritization Matrix
Finally, the findings of workshop can be summarized in terms of improving the basic
facilities including quality drinking water, good drainage, parking, traffic and
transport management system, proper sanitary facilities and heritage conservation.
