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.

This presentation will provides you how the garden cities by Ebenezer were planned and designed how important the environment is and also the ideas of Ebenezer Howard.
Garden cities were intended to be planned, self-contained communities surrounded by "greenbelts", containing proportionate areas of residences, industry, and agriculture.
The garden city introduced the use of green belts that have served many uses including the preservation of agricultural and rural life, nature and heritage conservation, recreation, pollution minimization, and growth management.
Garden city tradition endowed urban planning with a social and community dimensions.
The garden city idea however, showed how both industrial estates and collective retailing spaces could be used within a comprehensive planning approach to serve public purposes.
The phenomenon of urbanisation, especially suburbanisation, is observed monolithically worldwide, but in a rippling wave like vogue. It trickles down vertically and diffuses out horizontally from the developed to the developing areasand from central to the peripheral regions, respectively. No economically progressing country has ever been able to avert its occurrence, which is inevitable and challenging. The daunting task of intelligently designing and confirming sanity and sustainability for an urban canvas is a multidimensional and multi / cross disciplinary endeavour. This demands retrospective understanding of the place and its people; anticipatory sense to forecast and strategize; and awareness about the practices worldwide and indigenous. Civilizations have always been civilized because of their informed and active citizens, who have come forth to the rescue of theirlands of origin and fellow natives. Representation of this kind can be cited in the Garden City and City Beautiful movements of the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries, followed by many similar smaller and bigger experiments to the formal school of thought of urbanism, called “New Urbanism”.Many experiments happened under the wide umbrella of New Urbanism and garden city movement across the globe. From Great Britain, to the USA, Abu Dhabi and India, all have witnessed and / or are undergoing the sweeping dynamism in thought and action, for the pursuit of urban revamp and sustainability. This piece of research is an attempt towards compiling and evaluating such utopian models, taking cases from different countries, from different time periods, that have aimed at urban amelioration. The paper considers four cases of Masdar City (Abu Dhabi), Letchworth City (U.K), Disney Celebration Community (U.S.A.) and Magarpatta City (India) to showcase people’s experiments with truth for urban sustainability.

Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19
Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2. About Sir Patrick Geddes
Sir Patrick Geddes (2 October 1854 – 17 April 1932) was a Scottish
biologist, sociologist, geographer, philanthropist and pioneering town
planner.
He is known for his innovative thinking in the fields of urban
planning and sociology.
He introduced the concept of "region" to architecture and planning and
coined the term "conurbation".
Geddes was the founder of the College des Ecossaise (Scots College)
an international teaching establishment in Montpellier, France.
He studied at the Royal College of Mines in London under Thomas
Henry Huxley between 1874 and 1878, and lectured in Zoology
at Edinburgh University from 1880 to 1888.
3.
His principles for town planning in Bombay demonstrate his views on
the relationship between social processes and spatial form, and the
intimate and causal connections between the social development of the
individual and the cultural and physical environment. They included: (
Bombay Town Planning Act of 1915")
Preservation of human life and energy, rather than superficial
beautification.
Conformity to an orderly development plan carried out in stages.
Purchasing land suitable for building.
Promoting trade and commerce.
Preserving historic buildings and buildings of religious significance.
Developing a city worthy of civic pride, not an imitation of European
cities.
Promoting the happiness, health and comfort of all residents, rather
than focusing on roads and parks available only to the rich.
Control over future growth with adequate provision for future
requirements.
4. Concepts..
Patrick Geddes explained an organism‟s relationship to its
environment as follows:
“The environment acts, through function, upon the organism
and conversely the organism acts, through function, upon the
environment.“ (Cities in Evolution, 1915)
In human terms this can be understood as a place acting
through climatic and geographic processes upon people and
thus shaping them. At the same time people act, through
economic processes such as farming and construction, on a
place and thus shape it. Thus both place and folk are linked
and through work are in constant transition.
6.
Patrick Geddes was influenced by social theorists such as
Herbert Spencer (1820–1903) and French theorist Frederic
Le Play (1806–1882) and expanded upon earlier theoretical
developments that lead to the concept of regional planning.
He adopted Spencer's theory that the concept of biological
evolution could be applied to explain the evolution of
society, and drew on Le Play's analysis of the key units of
society as constituting "Lieu, Travail, Famille" ("Place,
Work, Family"), but changing the last from "family" to
"folk". In this theory, the family is viewed as the central
"biological unit of human society "from which all else
develops.
According to Geddes, it is from "stable, healthy homes"
providing the necessary conditions for mental and moral
development that come beautiful and healthy children who
are able "to fully participate in life".
7. Geddes and The Valley Section
Geddes first published his idea of the valley section in 1909 to
illustrate his idea of the 'region-city'.
The region is expressed in the city and the city spreads influence
of the highest level into the region.
To put it another way, Geddes said that "it takes a whole region to
make the city”.
The valley section illustrated the application of Geddes's trilogy of
'folk/work/place' to analysis of the region.
The valley section is a complex model, which combines physical
condition- geology and geomorphology and their biological
associations - with so-called natural or basic occupations such as
miner, hunter, shepherd or fisher, and with the human settlements
that arise from them.
8.
Geddes illustrated the section using the locally
available landscapes of Edinburgh and its hinterland
9. Tel-Aviv (Israel)
The Geddes Plan for Tel Aviv was the first
master city plan for Tel Aviv.
It was designed in 1925-1929 by
the Scottish city planner Sir Patrick
Geddes.
This program designed the centre of Tel
Aviv and the area now known as "Old
North".
In 1925 Patrick Geddes was commissioned
to design a master plan for the city of Tel
Aviv.
The plan he produced was accepted in
1929.
Tel Aviv turned out to be the only example
of one of Geddes‟ plans being built largely
as he envisaged and is a good example of
an early planned city.
10.
The area of Tel Aviv originally planned by Geddes makes up approximately
7.5% of the current day municipality of Tel Aviv and is now known as Tel
Aviv‟s “Old North”.
It was designed to be an extension of the much older neighbouring Arabic port
town Jaffa to the south and a home for the increasing population of Jews
emigrating from other parts of the world (predominantly Eastern Europe).
Geddes, originally as biologist and sociologist was engaged to design a plan
for the new city of Tel Aviv to be built adjacent to the ancient port town of
Jaffa.
The principles he employed for the city were strikingly similar to what we
now know as New Urbanism ideas of planning - an emphasis was placed on
pedestrians as opposed to motor car traffic, a sense of community and civic
life was encouraged through the use of town squares and abundant planting of
greenery provided significant focus on a minimal environmental footprint.
Private automobile traffic was minimised and the city was envisaged on a
pedestrian-scale. This neighbourhood identity has been crucial in the success
of Tel Aviv as a city.
12. Conurbations Theory
• The term "conurbation" was coined in 1915 by Patrick
Geddes in his book Cities In Evolution.
• Internationally, the term "urban agglomeration" is often
used to convey a similar meaning to "conurbation".
• He drew attention to the ability of the (then) new
technology of electric power and motorised transport to
allow cities to spread and agglomerate together, and gave as
examples "Midland ton" in England, the Ruhr in
Germany, Ramstad in the Netherlands, New York-Boston in
the United States, the Greater Tokyo Area and Taiheiyō
Belt in Japan and NCR of Delhi in India.
13. • A conurbation is a region comprising a number of cities,
large towns, and other urban areas that, through population
growth and physical expansion, have merged to form one
continuous urban and industrially developed area.
• In most cases, a conurbation is a polycentric urban
agglomeration, in which transportation has developed to link
areas to create a single urban labour market or travel to work
area.
•
The term is used in North America, a metropolitan area can be
defined by the Census Bureau or it may consist of a central
city and its suburbs, while a conurbation consists of adjacent
metropolitan areas that are connected with one another by
urbanization.
14. Examples of Conurbation
NEW YORK
• The expansive concept of the New York metropolitan
area (the Tri-State Region) centred on New York City,
including 30 counties spread between New York
State, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania, with
an estimated population of 21,961,994 in 2007.
• Approximately one-fifteenth of all U.S. residents live in
the Greater New York City area.
• This conurbation is the result of several central cities
whose urban areas have merged.
15. UNITED KINGDOM
Industrial and housing growth in the United
Kingdom during the 19th and early 20th centuries
produced many conurbations.
Greater London is by far the largest urban area and is
usually counted as a conurbation in statistical terms,
but differs from the others in the degree to which it is
focused on a single central area. In the mid-1950s
the Green Belt was introduced to stem the further
urbanisation of the countryside in UK.
The term "conurbation" is closer to the meaning
of urban agglomeration.
16. The list below shows the most populous urban areas in the UK
as defined by the Office for National Statistics (ONS). The
Greater London Urban Area contains the whole of what is
commonly called London, but ONS definitions divide London
into a large number of smaller localities of which the largest is
Croydon.
INDIA
Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) is a
metropolitan area consisting of the metropolis of Mumbai and
its satellite towns. Developing over a period of about 20 years,
it consists of seven municipal corporations and fifteen smaller
municipal councils.
17.
The region has an area of 4,355 km² and with a population of
20,998,395, it is among the top ten most populated urban
agglomeration in the world.
It is linked with Mumbai through the Mumbai Suburban
Railway system and a large network of roads.
The National Capital Region (NCR) is a name for the
conurbation or metropolitan area which encompasses the
entire National Capital Territory of Delhi as well as urban
areas ringing it in neighbouring states
of UP, Haryana and Rajasthan.
With a total area of about 33,578 km2 (12,965 sq mi) it had an
estimated population of 21,961,994 in 2007.

20. As we all saw in the map, prominent cities in
Maharashtra are shown to be connected forming
a „CONSTELLATION‟ shape.
This CONSTELLATION THEORY was also
coined by Sir Patrick Geddes , “4 or more cities,
which are not economically, politically, socially
equal come together in developing a whole
region”
This theory is mostly used for administrative
purpose in all countries worldwide.
Such theory is most prominently used because
planning cities in a particular shape pattern is not
possible in Today‟s times.

Maharashtra state has gained prime importance for the
country in the last few decade in spite of being formed in
early 60‟s, contributing 15% to country‟s industrial
output and 13.3% GDP.
Production, Manufacturing, automobile, Thermal
Electricity projects have been an active part in the growth
of the state.
The distance between the cities in Maharashtra, ranges
mostly in 100km-300km making transportation,
connectivity, inter-dependency prosper within the state.
23. Maharashtra is divided into six revenue divisions,
which are further divided into thirty-five districts.
These thirty-five districts are further divided into 109
sub-divisions of the districts and 357 Talukas in
Maharashtra.
The six administrative divisions in Maharashtra state
are Amravati Division, Aurangabad
Division, Konkan Division, Nagpur Division, Nashik
Division, and Pune Division.
The Admistrational aspect of Maharashtra is quite a
unique factor since six divisions are set up as a
network working together to form a well efficient an
d working governance.
