An arts and crafts centre is a facility from which products with artistic and/or souvenir value are sold, along with a range of products which emanate from local cultural groups. Baskets and sleeping mats are examples of locally produced, culturally influenced products. It could be an open-air facility or inside a building. The arts and crafts centre described here should be distinguished from a street-market or flea-market which sells arts and crafts items but may also sell a range of other goods

Presentation on Green infrastructure for Urban AreasVijeta Nigam
Rapid urbanization and scarcity of land are the characters of present India’s urban face. Migration of population continuously adds pressure on the natural growth of the towns and cities. The value of “Green Infrastructure” is needed to be upgraded with the growing communities and their built environment. The concept of green infrastructure shifts opens space protection from a community amenity to a community necessity. It comprises of many built elements of varying scales at different levels like individual building, street or an entire neighbourhood. The network of open space, woodlands, wildlife habitat, parks and other natural areas altogether sustains clean air, water and natural resources also enhances our quality of life needs to be taken under consideration.
The present study encompasses the need, importance,
principles, concept and examples and recommendations of green growth including international case studies.

Green Spaces Making i Cities Happy , Healthy and Sustainable Places to lLiveJIT KUMAR GUPTA
Green spaces have been valued and promoted by both royalty and the human beings for their distinct advantages, right from their landing on this planet earth. Green spaces are known to promote quality of life, promoting physical activities, making people and communities happy and healthy. In addition, they are known to be stress busters and provide space for socializing and promoting the sense of community and neighborhood. In addition to provide fresh air, green spaces are valued for connecting manmade and natural environment besides bringing back birds and animals who were forced to leave the urban habitat. Green spaces have shown their value and importance in the current crisis created by COvid 19. However, providing qualitative and quantitative green spaces in urban context remains always an issue considering the prevailing high land prices with green spaces being always discounted when compared with residential, commercial and industrial/institutional land uses. Paper tries to bring out the entire context of green spaces including its role, importance, issues and roadblocks faced in providing such spaces and options to make urban spaces a distinct reality along with its planning, designing, development and maintenance..
The green areas facilitate in encouraging human interaction while promoting community involvement and ownership. Local Green Spaces contribute to local identity, character of the area and sense of the place. They make an important contribution to the physical form and layout of the settlement. They may link up with other open spaces and allow views through or beyond the settlement, which are valued locally. The green areas must be aesthetically pleasing, tranquil and possess recreational value for the local communityUse of native, drought-tolerant plantings will create habitat for birds and insects, reduce water use, and aid adaptation to changing climate conditions. Planting of shady trees will reduce the urban heat island effect, creating more livable outdoor spaces. Edible landscaping is a responsible and worthwhile use of landscape space, even in the front yard. Water retention and filtering will help protect water quality.
The soft landscaping in forms of trees, lawns, hedges, flower gardens can be around public areas such as monuments, industrial areas, commercial areas, along the drains and roads.
The Green Book of the city of Zurich's Office of Parks and Open Spaces (Grün Stadt Zürich) represents a comprehensive strategy for the city of Zurich’s green and open spaces and for its green knowledge. A good city-wide linking of concepts and aims is needed to ensure that the different paths of urban development do not get in the way of each other.
With these stated objectives and specific statements, we will ensure the significance of green space in Zurich – for the good of the urban population and for the good of Nature.
Defining the core elements in Urban Planning, the city's "spaces" and "mobility" are essential strategies in addressing urban sprawl and congestion. These is presented through the perspective of the indicators and sub-targets indicated in the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals SDG 11.
Passing through an era of unsatiated consumerism, led by industrialization, urbanization, liberalization and globalization, urban living is adversely impacting human health- both physical and mental. Reports of WHO has stated that globally, large proportion of urban population is suffering from variety of problems including mental ill-health, obesity, social isolation, health inequalities, stresses and strains besides environmental degradation. Report calls upon nations /communities to find appropriate /equitable solutions to address health and environment related problems on priority . Green spaces play key role in addressing issues related to human health and environment, reduce illness, obesity and stress with positive outcomes, ensuring health, social and environmental benefits on sustained basis. Accordingly, providing adequate, quantitative and qualitative, open spaces; preserving, enhancing and promoting existing green spaces; making green spaces and parks integral part of planning and development process’, involving communities and users in the siting, planning and designing of green spaces; fostering multidisciplinary approach, based on collaboration with all the stakeholders, adopting a bottom-up approach for siting the open/ green spaces based on equity and in close proximity to the community, with priority going to neighborhoods/communities found deficient in green spaces, remains critical. For ensuring adequate provision of green spaces prevailing legal/developmental framework needs to be appropriately, reviewed, revised and redefined. Green Spaces need to be made integral part of the urban infrastructure and adequately reflected in the local infrastructure plans. Looking at the multiplicity of usages/purposes served and large number of benefits accruing, cities would need to be made more clean, green and eco-friendly by providing quality green spaces at prescribed norms, as part of urban infrastructure/ long term planning, development , management process. This can help and ensure making cities; more livable, sustainable, safe, inclusive, resilient, happy and healthy places to live in and work.

13. Resolution of present
environment issues require
the understanding of these
three components and seeking
to bring them back as close as
possible….

20. Open space: should, it is suggested, be defined as
that part of the urban area which contributes to its
amenity, either visually by contributing positively to
the urban landscape, or by virtue of public access. It
is therefore defined as combining urban green
spaces and civic spaces.
“a mixture of public (or civic) and green space, where
public spaces are mainly ‘hard’ spaces such as
squares, street frontages and paved areas.”
It is also compatible with the approach proposed in
Scotland, which defines open space as “a mixture of
civic spaces and green spaces”.
21. Public open space is defined as open space,
both green spaces and hard ‘civic’ spaces, to
which there is public access, even though the
land may not necessarily be in public
ownership. (This is different from the legal
definition in the Town and Country Planning
Act 1990 and the more traditional planning
definition of ‘public open space’ (POS), still
used by some local authorities, to mean
publicly accessible green space without any
formal facilities for recreation provision).
22. Urban green space: is defined as land that
consists predominantly of unsealed, permeable,
‘soft’ surfaces such as soil, grass, shrubs and
trees (the emphasis is on ‘predominant’
character because of course green spaces may
include buildings and hard surfaced areas); it is
the umbrella term for all such areas whether or
not they are publicly accessible or publicly
managed. It includes all areas of parks, play
areas and other green spaces specifically
intended for recreational use, as well as other
green spaces with other origins.

28. Social Benefits: green spaces offer important
opportunities for people to make contact with nature,
to take exercise by involvement in both passive and
active recreation, and to be involved in many kinds of
social, cultural and community activities. The
following two aspects merit particular attention:
– Health benefits: the environmental and social
benefits that green spaces bring in themselves
create further physical and mental health benefits for
individuals and communities;
– Educational benefits: green spaces offer a wide
range of both formal and informal educational
opportunities to all age groups;
29. Environmental Benefits: green spaces
can be shown to play an important part in
wildlife and habitat conservation, so
helping to meet biodiversity objectives, as
well as contributing to landscape and
cultural heritage, improving urban air
quality and ameliorating the urban
climate, and reducing noise levels;
30. Economic Benefits: green spaces can
help to attract inward investment, to
retain businesses, to create employment
opportunities, to support tourism and to
increase the value and marketability of
nearby property.

39. Singapore recommendations…
• Transplant and plant “instant trees” (fast-
growing indigenous trees that are shady,
easily available and require little
maintenance) to achieve results in a short
time-frame
• Design roads to include adequate planting
areas
• Require paved areas such as car parks to
be planted with trees to attenuate the heat
of the large asphalt surfaces
40. • Cover concrete structures such as flyovers,
overhead bridges and retaining walls with
creepers and climbers, and screen them with
shrubs and transplanted trees to provide visual
relief from the built environment
• Encourage provision of shade along walkways
and roadsides through planting policies,
particularly in civic and governmental areas
• Encourage property owners and residents to
focus on the greening of rooftops and sides of
high-rise buildings – maximizes land use while
improving the environment.
Singapore…..
41. • Require developers of residential areas to plant
roadside trees and set aside land for open
space
• Cater to and reflect the diverse recreational
needs of the population
• Capitalize upon and enhance existing natural
assets
• Create an identity where natural assets were
lacking, including the installation of sculptures,
challenging playgrounds and creating habitats to
attract wildlife such as birds
Singapore…..
42. • Maintenance: The Heritage Trees Scheme is
aimed at conserving the trees that have been
maturing gracefully while the Heritage Roads
Scheme seeks to preserve roadside landscapes
with beautiful mature trees and greenery.
• Ensuring access: a comprehensive network
linking major parks and nature areas is currently
being developed. When completed, the system
of parks and park connectors will span some
360 km and enable the population to explore the
island through one continuous green network.
Singapore…..
43. • Educating the population: the website of
the National Parks Network offers a rich
amount of information about the park
system, the history of the greening
initiative, and resources for citizens and
corporations interested in participating in
greening activities (such as a resource
book for creating rooftop gardens and
green buildings).
Singapore…..
