Conceptualizing Sustainable Transportation for City of Pune, India.IJERA Editor
This document discusses conceptualizing sustainable transportation for the city of Pune, India. It summarizes that Pune is experiencing rapid urban sprawl and the associated negative impacts on sustainability from increased resource consumption and pollution. The paper explores how different land use and transportation infrastructure expansion could impact urban sustainability. It reviews literature on the relationship between land use and travel behavior. A survey was conducted in Pune that found long commute times, traffic congestion, inadequate bus services and overcrowding. The document concludes that sustainable transportation like walking, cycling and public transit can reduce emissions while ensuring mobility, and that urban planning is essential to create compact, coordinated development.
The document proposes an underground city. It summarizes an ancient underground city called Derinkuyu in Turkey that had 18 levels extending 60 meters deep and could shelter 20,000 people. Key features discussed are its ventilation shafts, tunnels, and wells to provide fresh water. These characteristics will influence the design of the proposed underground city. The document also briefly mentions another ancient underground city in Burlington, UK but provides few details. Overall the document researches and investigates existing underground cities as part of developing a proposal for a new underground city.
This document provides guidelines for a final project in a course on natural and built environments. The project involves proposing a new town. It is divided into two parts:
Part A is an individual component requiring an A4 report and 3-minute video presentation proposing a basic plan for a new "X" Town.
Part B is a group component involving a physical model of the selected town and up to 3 presentation boards further explaining the proposal. Groups will choose from town types centered around a lake, river, island, or sea. The proposal must consider population size, zoning, infrastructure, sustainability, and other factors.
The document outlines objectives, learning outcomes, tasks, submission requirements, and assessment criteria for both parts
The document summarizes trends in urbanization and discusses strategies for more sustainable urban development. It notes that about half the world's population lives in cities, which are growing rapidly especially in developing countries. Issues caused by urban sprawl like air and water pollution, loss of open space, and longer travel times are discussed. The document then presents tools for urban planning like zoning, growth boundaries, and public transit to promote compact development and limit environmental impacts.
This document is a report on the future representation of a city. It begins with an introduction and definition of what makes a city. It then discusses investigating ancient cities like Babylon and its Hanging Gardens as well as Alexandria and its Lighthouse. Elements from these ancient cities like using plants and having a landmark structure are identified as being applicable to the new future city.

EIP Water Action Group City Blueprints September 2013EIP Water
The City Blueprint for Water is a baseline assessment of the sustainability of water management in a city (or other dominantly urban region). The result allows a city to quickly understand how advanced it is in sustainable water management and enables it to compare its status with other leading cities.
This project is one of nine Action Groups selected by the European Commission as an initial EIP Water Action Group.
Sixteen cities/regions have participated so far (August 2013) and many others are being approached. This is an opportunity to take part in a new and innovative programme to help improve city-level water stewardship, in the spirit of smart and sustainable cities.
The basic output is a simple radar chart as shown in the example from Melbourne at the top of this page. The chart provides a quick visual representation of the city’s water stewardship status, and is a tool for easy comparison between cities. It covers 24 key water-related subject areas, such as water footprint, water scarcity, water quality, drinking water availability and wastewater management.
A City Blueprint is just the first step on a journey of communication and cooperation between cities. A key intention is to encourage cities to share their best practices with others, and for all to improve. A website will be developed to facilitate this. All cities are different. Some are advanced in a few or many subject areas. Some have much work to do. The aim is not to highlight failings, but instead to help a city identify areas of focus for improvement, and to learn from the best practices of others, as well as demonstrating and sharing their own best practices.
This document provides an overview of urban planning, sustainable development, sustainable architecture, and sustainable cities. It discusses the history and theories of urban planning and how planners guide development. Technical aspects of planning like land use and infrastructure are examined. The roles of sustainable development, sustainable architecture, and creating sustainable cities to meet needs without compromising the future are also summarized. Urban planning aims to optimize communities while balancing environmental, economic, and social considerations.
Based on the mandate given in SDG 11, calling for promoting an affordable and sustainable transport, globally all nations are trying to come out with an agenda and a vision for achieving carbon neutrality. Nations must make commitment to promote emissions-free mobility as a fundamental human right; doing the best things for humanity and society to lead towards a better and sustainable future and proactively promoting a paradigm shift towards electrification and creating a hydrogen based society for bringing sustainability. Sustainable transport is known for its distinct and numerous social and economic benefits for the communities, cities, environment and ecology. Studies made and analysis carried out has concluded that; Sustainable transport can help create large number of jobs; improve commuter safety through investment in bicycle lanes; reduce use of fossil fuel ; minimize pollution and congestion, making cities walkable; and making access to employment and social opportunities more affordable and efficient besides decarbonizing cities and making urban settlements more livable and sustainable. Sustainable transportation offers a practical opportunity and simple method of saving people's time, improving people’s health increasing household income and making cities great places for happy, healthy and more productive living besides making investment in sustainable transport, a 'win-win' option and opportunity for all stake holders.’ Decarbonizing, Carbon Neutrality and Zero-Carbon must remain the prime agenda to redefine, promote and achieve the sustainable transportation in urban areas and to achieve the mandate/goals given in SDG11. Planet earth looks at how nations can minimize travel and make it sustainable for making human settlements more peaceful and livable.
The document is a report on representing a future city. It includes investigations of ancient, present and future cities including the Maya city, Gangnam city in South Korea, and Songdo city, also in South Korea. For each city investigated, the document describes its history, what makes it significant, conclusions, and what elements could be used for the new future city being designed. It then discusses plans for a new city called ASPACHE, which will be a skyscraper city focusing on sustainability and technology with features inspired by the cities investigated in the report.
This document outlines a student project to design a future city called Kayden City. The student researched ancient, present, and future cities to inform the design. Key elements included: a shield to protect against natural disasters found in the present city of Oklahoma; infrastructure from Dubai for waste management; and defensive structures from ancient Caracol. The design of Kayden City aims to provide a safe, sustainable city for its 220,000 residents through features like efficient transit, green spaces, and high technology integrated with good government services.
The document discusses sustainable transportation and provides examples of its implementation. It begins by describing the evolution of urban form from Walking Cities to Transit Cities and finally Automobile Cities. It then summarizes 10 myths about the inevitability of automobile dependence. Next, it outlines key principles of sustainable transportation as defined by various commissions and studies. Finally, it provides case studies of the Cross City Tunnel project in Sydney and the restoration of Cheonggyecheon Stream in Seoul.

Introduction
The final project of elements of natural and built environment for this course (FNBE)
is all about elements of a city for the future and the situations that will happen in few
years later makes us to think about building new cities, and different from the cities
that we are living in currently.
In this project students are required to imagine that the year is 2033 and they are
the mayor of the “X” city (they are required to choose a name for the city). They as
mayors know a secret about the city and they know that the city is no longer safe to
live in, so they have to prepare a proposal for the new city. First, students need to
create a situation for their city which make it not safe to live, and then find the best
solution to build a new city depend on the problem . They have five options, they
can build city underground, underwater, floating on water or enhance the city and
after they choose the option. They have to start research, sketches, etc to prepare
the proposal of the city and after that students must choose one city within their
units and make a model of it and present it to lecturers.
This project acquaints students with elements of natural and built environment and
they understand how to analyze different situation and symbiotic relationships that
they need to consider in natural and built environment.

The City
Definition: a center of population, commerce, and culture; a town of significant size
and importance.
Cities generally have complex systems for sanitation, utilities, land usage, housing,
and transportation. The concentration of development greatly facilitates
communication between people and businesses, benefiting both parties in the
process. A big city or metropolis usually has associated suburbs and exurbs. Such
cities are usually related with metropolitan areas and urban areas, creating various
business commuters traveling to urban centers for employment. Once a city grows
far enough to reach another city, this region can be believed a conurbation or
megalopolis.
History: towns and cities has very
long history, since humans
understood that they need each
other, but there are many different
opinions on whether any particular
ancient settlement can be
considered to be a city. Different
cities formed as center places to
benefit members living close
proximity to others facilitates
interaction of all kinds by trading.
The first true towns started shaping

when they became places which people were not simply farmers and they began
to take on specialized occupations, trade, food storage, and power was centralized,
then they started growing and became cities.
Elements of urban design: involves the design and coordination of all that makes
up cities and towns.
Building: buildings are the most pronounced elements of urban design, they
shape and articulate space by forming the street walls of the city.
Public space: great public spaces are the living room of the city, the place
where people come together to enjoy the city and each other.
Streets: streets are the connection between spaces and places, as well as
being space themselves.
Transport: transport system connect the parts of the cities and help shape
them, and enable movement throughout the city.
Landscape: the landscape is the green part of the city that weaves
throughout in the form of urban parks, street trees, plants, flowers, and water
in many forms.
Urban designs weave together these elements into a coherent, organized design
structure.
The urban design structure defines the urban form and the building form.
The creative articulation of space is the most prominent aspect for urban design.
The following artistic principles are an integral part of creating form and spatial
definition:
1.Order 2.Unity 3.Balance 4.Proportion 5.Scale 6.Hierarchy 7.Symmetry 8.Rhythm
9.Contrast 10.Context 11.Detail 12.Texture 13.Harmony 14.Beauty

Smart cities infrastructure
System development technology
Technological development is necessary based on the assumption
that growth and development will occur along the changes in
response to internal and external environment.
Technological system supports processes from planning through
construction, operation, and evaluation in a uniform manner.
Autonomous disclosure of resource information and accommodation
between systems work to maintain the sustainability of society as a
whole.
System development technology requirements differ over the three
stages of planning.
Advanced IT support is needed for the realization of each type of
systems development technology.
Mobility
Making transportation as a mean of reaching your destination fun,
stress-free, and comfortable.
Six problems that must be resolved by smart mobility:
1.congestion problem 2.vuluerable road user problem
3.eco problem 4.deterioration problem 5.disaster planning problem
6.transportation company efficiency improvement problem
Coordination of infrastructure
Due to technological progress, urbane and service infrastructures are
growing more diverse, and the number of situations where
information can be utilized in increasing.

Coordination of infrastructures is required to resolve issues related to
organization, usage, and environmental load associated with
infrastructures.
Cost of usage is reduced while convenience and comfort are
improved.
City managers also enjoy benefits such as improved reliability and
increased business opportunities.
Communications
Many of requirements demanded of a smart city are realized
through seamless coordination.
More enjoyment and convenience through a network with
dependable security
Businesses can be realized by “connecting” to the network.
System efficiency is pursued from the network design stage by giving
consideration to energy consumption.
The network can be utilized in order to visualize the state of energy
usage in real time.
It platform
Coping with diversity.
Satisfying demand for reliability.
Coping with growth of cities and long- term sustainability.
Water
Sources of fresh water that can be used by humans amount to a
more 0.01% of all water in the world.
Intake increases greatly with the growing population, making water
shortages even more serious.
Energy
Limited energy must be utilized effectively as demand for electric
power increases.
Smart grids are one valid measure to improve the efficiency
utilization while reducing CO2 emissions.
Different regions have different background behind the necessity of
smart grids.

Ancient Cities
Derinkuyu: one of the largest and oldest ancient underground cities found in 1963
in the town call derinkuyu which is located in Turkey. At first a wall collapsed and
they found a passage way which led them to an underground city thousands of
years old and more than 280 feet deep. This city has 13 stories with ventilation
shafts as well as 1500 little shafts making sure that every chamber gets air. This
underground city is able to hold more than 20,000 people and contains religious
centers, store rooms, wine
presses, schools, a bar, kitchens,
and stables. The stone used is
extremely soft, so all the
supporting beams had to be
placed perfectly and it has
never had any caves ins. This
would be an extremely difficult
thing to do in modern time let
alone thousands of years ago.
The religion of the city is said to be Zoroastrian.
The creator which called Ahura Mazda. Who is
the sky god, asked one of his prophets to build
an underground city to protect select people
and animals from a global ice age. This is the
most probable answer that archeologists found,
but they also have many answers about the
incredible underground city and still nobody
finds the definitive answer.
The most wondering issue about this ancient
underground city is that how they could build a
city underground thousand years ago, but the
only thing that we can be sure about is that they
built a city underground to protect themselves
but we still don’t know why? Did extraterrestrials
cause them to build a city underground? Global
ice age? Or to protect from invading enemies
such as desert raiders or Roman legion?

hammerhead sharks and some divers while were looking for an appropriate location
to observe them in 1987, suddenly found some singular seabed formations
approximating architectonic structures, then right after that many scientists went to
see there and understood that there was a city before.
This monument is made from sandstones and mudstones which archeologists think
that this city exist since around twenty million years ago. This city is in rectangular
shape and the area is around 6,000m2 , about 27m tall and about 5m below sea
level.
The most close answer about why this ancient city in sunken can be global ice age,
which means that maybe in the future, our cities will sink so we can start thinking
about this problem from now.

Present Cities
Paris: Paris history comes from 2,000 years ago since it was just a small French
settlement until it became the capital and primate city of France. This famous city
is located in the northern central part of France, and it is in the shape of an oval
where covers an area of about 87 square kilometers. Paris is one of the largest
population centers in Europe and it had a population of 2,234,105 in 2009.
Paris is one of the most important centers of art all around the world and many of
famous artists came from there. This city is full of museums, art galleries, and
fantastic architectural designs.
Paris is known as the city of love as it has a favorite destination for couples wishing
to enjoy their honeymoon. It has historical, dramatic places and minutes after you
can watch the Seine River going by while quietly sitting on a bench. Paris dazzles a
person's eyes with the aforesaid reasons. The beauty of Paris and its contrast from
one's own city also bring a feeling of excitement and experience that one has not
felt before. Great place to relight romance and fall in love again because its
spontaneous rather than routine.

Paris also known as a major
rail, highway, and air transport
hub by having four airports
which two of them are
international, the city’s subway
system which called Paris
Métro, it was opened in 1900
and it can carry nine millions
passengers daily an known as
one of the most extensively
used transport system within
the city, and also seven major
railway stations which one of
the is the busiest station in
Europe together with Paris is also the most important hub of France's motorway
network with over 2,000 km (1,243 mi) of highways and motorways.
Much of contemporary Paris is the result of the vast mid-19th century urban
remodeling. For centuries, the city had been a labyrinth of narrow streets and half-
timber houses, but, beginning with Haussmann's advent, entire quarters were
leveled to make way for wide avenues lined with neo-classical stone buildings of
bourgeoisie standing. The building code has seen few changes since the 1850s,
and the Second Empire plans are in many cases still followed. The "alignement" law
is still in place, which regulates building façades of new constructions according to
a pre-defined street width. A building's height is limited according to the width of
the streets it borders, and under the regulation, it is almost impossible to get an
approval to build a taller building. Landmarks in this city are easily recognizable
which is one of the special things about Paris.

Hamburg: Hamburg or in official Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg in area
of 755km2 is the second largest city in Germany by containing 1.8 million
people inside and also it is one of the largest ports all around the world. This
city has become media and industrial center in Germany, and also a
financial center for all countries all over the world which contains 12,000
enterprises.
Hamburg has many different architectural styles and landmarks are mostly
churches in this city. There are many streams, rivers and canals in Hamburg
are crossed by over 2300 bridges which make this city very special. In
Hamburg there all many parks which distribute all over the city to respect
nature. This city has a very organized transportation system by having railway
all around the city and more than 600 bus routes plus ferries for crossing rivers,
etc.
This city is following a very huge program to become a fully smart city and
become a paradigm of future cities.
Future of cities forum:
The annual Future of Cities Forum brings together 150 mayors, city planners,
scientists and representatives of civil society and the private sector to discuss
key challenges for future urban development. This year's Forum takes place in
Hamburg, Germany and is the third in a series on regenerative cities
organized by the World Future Council.

A new model of urbanization, powered by renewable energy and defined by a
restorative and mutually beneficial relationship between cities and their hinterland, is
urgently needed. Cities must go beyond sustainability to truly regenerative
development: not only becoming resource-efficient and low carbon emitting, but
positively enhancing rather than undermining the ecosystems on which they
depend. Regenerative cities mimic nature’s circular metabolism and operate in a
closed-loop system that transforms waste outputs into inputs of value.

Rafflesia Island (the imaginary city)
Rafflesia Island is located in south east of Peninsular Malaysia, in Johor state, and
quite near to Singapore. This island became British possession in 1789 after they
dispossessed Penang in 1786 and after that they found this island very strategic to
become a port in Malaysia, them it became growing to one of the largest ports in
south east Asia. In this city people are mostly work in enterprises and shipping. This
city also is one of the UNESCO heritages. People’s favorite hobby in this city is fishing
and there are many festivals about fishing every year.
Johor flag:
Why this city is called Rafflesia Island?
British found this flower for the first time in Malaysia, in this island, so they
named this Island Rafflesia.

Future of the City: Unfortunately, this city because of its situation on earth will have a
very monumental problem which is becoming fully sunken around year 2043.
Ozone layer depletion:
Ozone is a naturally occurring gas that can be good or bad for your health and
environment depending on its location in the atmosphere. In the layer near the
earth’s surface (the troposphere) ground level or “bad” ozone is an air pollution that
is a key ingredient of urban swag. But higher up, in the stratosphere, “good” ozone
protects life on earth by absorbing some of the sun’s UV rays.
The tropospheric ozone layer forms a thin shield in the upper atmosphere,
protecting life on earth from sun’s UV rays. It has been called the earth’s sunscreen.

In the 1980s, scientists found evidence that the ozone layer was being depleted.
Depletion of the ozone layer results in increasing UV radiation which causes many
problems and on top of them is global warming.
Global warming:
Global warming described as a gradual increase in the average temperature of
the earth’s atmosphere and also its oceans, which changes earth’s climate
constantly. There are debates among people about global warming is a hoax and
others believe it. But climate scientists by looking at data and facts agree that the
planet is warming. The average temperature of the earth has rising between 0.4 and
0.8 oc over the past 100 years. Causes of global warming are increasing volumes of
carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases released by the burning of fossil fuels,
land clearing, agriculture, and other human activities over past 50 years. Scientists
recently, predicted that average of global temperature could increase between 1.4
and 5.8 oc by the year 2100.
Some of the results of global warming are raising sea levels due to the melting of the
polar ice caps, as well as an increase in occurrence and severity of storms and other
severe weather events. After this in the future by increasing sea levels will start
swamping small lands outskirts of extensive lands, such as islands. Now it’s time for us
to start building new cities to save people.

Ship Island (the future city)
To build a new city but for same people and future generations is not easy at all,
and it’s a very huge project which as to finish on time. For this purpose we need the
best city planners, scientists and representatives of civil society and the private
sector to discuss, and also Mayors of other cities for consultation.
As our city is going to sink, the first option which is enhancing city and the second
one which is building an underground city are absolutely failed. After discussing with
psychologists, we found that, we better to build a new city with some similar
elements to existing cities that people can adapt themselves with that city, so the
other two options, floating on air city and underwater city are also failed. The best
choice after all researches and discussing with the best experts in different fields, we
drew to start building a city floating on water.
As the future city will rescue people from drowning, My idea came up with growing
out of Noah ship.
After this I decided to build a city like a very huge ship and use the highest
technology in ships.
This city will be a fully green city to become a paradigm for all future cities where
we will mostly supply electrical energy by using solar panels and turbines all around
the island.
17. ENBE | Final Project | Part A – Report | The Future City Representation
Parham Farhadpoor | 0313698 | Group w | FNBE April 2013 | Taylor’s University
17
In our future city all electric supply will be underground level in the basement level
of the ship.
Solar panels: these panels will be locate
everywhere in the city and every building will
use them in their exterior structure which move
during days to face sunshine, so during days
people may see that some buildings exterior is
changing.
Turbines: Turbines also will provide electricity to people
in this city. They will be located all around the ship in
basement level, underwater, so water flow will make
them start turning and producing energy to supply
electricity all around the island.
But how to stable the city and how to prevent
buildings topple? In this city we will have very huge
anchors in every 500 meters around the island to
make sure that water flow won’t wag this gigantic
ship.
For buildings in our future city we will use the earthquake
proof system that constructors are using in their buildings
currently. In this system they build buildings within and they
have this ability to topple a bit in a very limited area from
their foundation during earthquakes but they will not
collapse after it and they will stay stable.
One of the major problems for the future
will be water, so we will have hatches and
vey organize canal system which steer rain
waters to sewage works for filtration and
after that for supplying water, will send to
different part of the city.

Parham Farhadpoor | 0313698 | Group w | FNBE April 2013 | Taylor’s University
18
But what if we will have less rain in the future or even we will not have rain at all? For
this purpose the only option is seawater treatment and as our future city will be
exactly on the seawater we will have the best and the newest technologies to use
them, so after bringing seawater to our city by different suction ducts, it will filter in
the main filters and then in cartridge filters, then will send to reverse osmosis system,
and at the end we will have filtered water.
Waste handling:
Sewages will steer by tunnels, canals, and ducts to the
sewer service in the main tank and after that will send
to conveyance tanks. These conveyance tanks will
send to the port and after that will send to the nearest
land by ships.
What will happen to trashes in our future city? All rubbish will collect two times
during twenty four hours from every single part of the city by special trucks, after that
we collect recyclable rubbish, then recyclable rubbish will send for recycling and
the rest will put in special containers which will send to the nearest land with ships for
biomass purposes, but before that we will close up the volume of rubbish.

Transportation in Ship Island:
All vehicles in this island will use hydride system and they will be fully electric (Using
fossil fuels for vehicles will not be allowed) which will help us to save more fossil fuels,
decrease air pollution, and save the environment.
How to produce energy for vehicles? We will have stations which there are solar
panels on top of it, they will save energy in the station and then vehicles can charge
batteries easily and cheap.
Public transport: In Ship Island we will provide one or the most organize public
transport system which includes fully electric buses with many stations in every part
of the city, and city trains which will cover around the island by having 20 stations,
this trains on the ground level at the middle of the main streets. This city train system
will work fully electric and each station can supply energy by itself (solar panels).

To build a new city which is floating on water we will have a limited area. Our
current area is 150km2 but we will live in a 70km2 area which is less than half of the
current city, so we will need taller buildings and more compact.
This future city is planned very simply and organized. We will have fourteen parts in
our future island in square shape, except two parts where two landmarks are going
to located.
As you can see in the map two landmarks (orange circles) will be located in two
ends of the island and a main street including the city train will connect them , so
people in this city can recognize them easily.

Conclusion
As I have chosen to become a quantity surveyor in the future, this project really
helped me to understand about cities infrastructure.
When we choose to enter in construction industry, in fact we are entering in a very
huge project to build and shape cities by being part of this project, so we need to
learn about elements of building environment and all the things that we have to
consider for a city and these are the things that I have learnt in this project. Building
a city is not that easy and there are so many things in a city that people don’t know
about them and they never go through details of the city they live in to understand
how their city work, I also didn’t know much about cities, but after this project
everything in the city is interesting for me.
After all I think we must start thinking about future cities, how do we want them to
look like? What kind of things we have to consider? What kind of problems will we
have? And many other questions, to choose the best for shaping ours and future
generation’s life.
