A model village is a type of mostly self-contained community, built from the late 18th century onwards by landowners and industrialists to house their workers. Although the villages are located close to the workplace, they are generally physically separated from them and often consist of relatively high quality housing, with integrated community amenities and attractive physical environments. "Model" is used in the sense of an ideal to which other developments could aspire.

Cities and civilizations remain
synonymous. Cities remain unique, different and distinct. Cities existed in the past, they exist now and they shall continue to dominate the future of human journey on this planet earth. No two cities are same. Each city has its paces of strength and weaknesses. Making any city great, ,has genesis in understanding its uniqueness and making optimum use and build on its strength; overcoming the existing weaknesses; creating opportunities for its orderly growth and overcome possible challenges which may emerge in its march to become great. Cities must be owned by people and city must own its people. we need co-operative cities and not smart and sky scrapper cities. People would need cities which provides them safety and basic amenities of life, make them happy and healthy. City must create options for providing best possible living to its people; create options for appropriate working; make people happy and healthy; both physically and mentally and make them travel only when needed and that too on a limited scale. Following this order of planning can surely enhance the credibility and operational efficiency of the cities. Planning cities, using nature and natural elements of Sun, Space and Greenery can help in making cities wonderful and healthy places to live and work. Cities must identify, preserve, manage, protect and manage its Heritage, as integral part of its growth and development to make it connect with past glory. Agra needs to be made, promoted and declared as a heritage city to showcase its past glory and make it integral part of future growth and development. Ignoring and damaging its heritage, which lead to chaos and anarchy. Agra must come out with its own charter of growth and development to retain
not only its past glory but also charter an agenda of its glorious future growth.
Infrastructure remain the backbone and the foundation of all communities, states and nations to operate efficiently, grow rationally and provide best quality of life to its inhabitants. Infrastructure is known to be great connector and distributors. Nothing can work without the provision of good infrastructures. All developing nations are struggling to provide appropriate infrastructure but have failed to deliver. Infrastructure remain labour and cost- intensive and are dictated by the policies and the programs evolved by the government. Cities have limited capacity, capability and willingness to provide appropriate infrastructure which make them unattractive and less productive. Cities need empowerment and also innovate and look for options which can help them create infrastructure without causing undue financial liabilities. In this regard planned development offers the best option to create and deliver appropriate infrastructures at the local level based on defined norms and standards. Town planning schemes have been reckoned to be the best options to create infrastructure at at local level. Involving communities in creation and determination of priorities shall always remain valuable. Infrastructures should be self-financing and self-sustainable. It should involve best of the quality to make them cost-effective and operationally efficient. Providing adequate supportive infrastructure will always remain crucial and valuable for all the societies and human settlement, both urban and rural. All human settlements must be planned, developed, operated and maintained with appropriate quality infrastructure to make then sustainable, qualitative, livable and operationally efficient.
Poverty remans the greatest curse on humanity . Getting out of poverty would require empowering human beings through skilling and education, providing opportunities to explore options for employment, making available resources and holding hand for alleviating poverty. Presentation focus on how to leverage urban planning in empowering urbanites to overcome poverty.
Infrastructures and services are known to be the backbone of any human settlement . They are known to be determinant of the quality of life and operational efficiency of any city. They are also the one regulating the productivity of the city. Infra remain vital for all the urban residents , communities, city and the state. Accordingly, it becomes important that infrastructures on prescribed norms and standards are made available in both quantity and quality in the human habitation. Providing Infra requires lot of resources and technology know how. Accordingly adequate provision in the budget of urban local bodies need to be provided. in addition to providing infra and services, it is critical that they are also maintained properly. Key issues in the infra is the delivery of services. Government must involve private sector in providing services. Services charges also have to be rational to make them affordable. Providing services and infra remains a difficult and innovative option. It offers both a challenge and an opportunity. All ULBs must ensure adequate services of appropriate quality to all its citizens , even poorest of poor, to lead a dignified living.
Hill area planning, development and management, remains both intricate and complex task, requiring specialised skill, expertise, understanding, knowledge and experience. Hills are special for the reason they remain part of the nature and complex bio-sphere system They are storehouse of natural resources. They house natural wealth and best of climate. .Hills have numerous positivities but because of their fragility they remain vulnerable to all development activities undertaken by human species. Tourism has emerged as the double edged weapon in hill area development. Heritage has been subjected to vulnerability. Promoting mobility has led to disaster and population influx has made hill areas vulnerable. Hill areas need healing touch using nature and natural elements. They require care and caution for their sustainable development. They remain the hope to make world more livable and sustainable. Nations must care and respect its hill areas and should eliminates all factors which lead to diluting, damaging the hill area fabric, structure and soul.
Jammu- IIA-Smart Cities -CONCEPTS AND APPAROACHES- 5-6-22.pptJIT KUMAR GUPTA
World is celebrating golden jubilee of the launching of World Environment Day. Making cities sustainable assumes importance on this day, which is dedicated to promote the wellbeing of the humanity, because cities are known to be major consumers of energy, resources and generators of waste. Cities have been relevant in the past and shall continue to drive nations in promoting economy, employment, services and amenities. However, development and environment remain anti-thesis. It will remain important how professionals work, operate and evolve and devolve their skills for minimizing the conflict and contradictions between the two to make human habitat more sustainable.
Globally cities are on the move. They are always evolving, devolving, never static and never finite. Accordingly, cities are being viewed, reviewed , redefined and renamed periodically, based on the changing needs of communities; objectives defined and pattern of planning; shape and size of the city; preserving, protecting and promoting resources, environment and ecology; making cities people, gender and technology centric etc. Cities in the past have accordingly been named as; planned cities, garden cities, linear cities, industrial cities, regenerative cities , eco-friendly cities, sustainable cities, inclusive cities, child/women/elders friendly cities, resilient cities, smart cities etc. Considering the fact that cities are fast emerging as major consumers of energy and resources; generators of waste and responsible for generating large carbon footprints, future typologies of cities now include; carbon neutral cities; energy efficient cities; zero water ; zero waste cities etc. In addition, majority of cities are also fast becoming hotbeds of disasters, both manmade and natural, accordingly safe cities is emerging another typology for urban settlements to make them disaster free. Looking at the context of cities getting flooded periodically due to heavy rains, breach of water channels, rivers, dams etc., leading to enormous loss to humans, social fabric, resources, environment, ecology, economy etc., Sponge city is the terminology now being deployed for cities, to make them safe against floods.
In the parlance of planning, Sponge city is defined, ‘As an urban area; which has been planned, designed and constructed to effectively and efficiently manage and cope with the challenges posed by excessive water/storm water caused by heavy rainfall, high tides , swollen rivers or other manmade/ natural activities, using a variety of techniques. Sponge city, has also been defined as, ‘the city that is designed to retain, clean, and reuse stormwater. Basically, sponge city in its approach, intent, content, planning, designing , construction and management, has focus on water and its effective and efficient management, without adversely impacting the operation and function of the city, which is subjected to challenge posed by excessive water. Sponge city model promotes, retaining the excess water within the city aquifer by creating options to eliminate concrete pavements that separate water from the natural ecosystem; utilize natural wetlands to absorb water into the soil; make city water-resilient and transform cities/communities/ neighbourhoods by helping in redefining urban landscape by working across different disciplines — hydrology, landscape, architecture, planning and engineering, to save human lives and property from the threat posed and damage caused by excess water.
Sponge city model, as an option and strategy, has been gaining currency and finding favour, both at local and global level with planners,
Planning for Sustainable Village Development.JIT KUMAR GUPTA
Villages remain valuable and critical for India's growth and development. Ignoring village will be counter-productive for the nation and urban India. Rural India needs empowerment and skilling to use the large manpower resource available with the villages. Agriculture needs reinvention and redefinition to make it more productive and for bringing more dividends. Villages need to be planned and designed with all basic amenities and services so to make them self-reliant and self-sustaining to enable them grow as inclusive human settlements. Villages offer enormous opportunities to leverage the growth provided they co-operate, collaborate and come on the same platform of thoughts and action . Most of the rural ills have genesis in the rural population which remain self-created and self-imposed. Solution are obvious with the villagers themselves. Time is ripe to empower Rural India to overcome those problems through its own innovations and actions to make India global leaders and to make urban India more effective and efficient, clean, green and sustainable.
Presentation focuses on defining the context of sustainable development, urbanisation in the Global and Indian context, positivities and negativities of urbanisation and the crisis created by urbanisation
Strategy and Options for Planning Inclusive CitiesJIT KUMAR GUPTA
Presentation looks at the context of inclusive cities, its relevance in the Indian context, problems faced by Indian cities and what are the options to make cities inclusive, and sustainable
Presentatio tries to bring out context of the cities in the overall development of communities and nations, and the manner cities are being subjected to devlopmental and population pressure. As engines of economic growth cities are known to have environmental, ecological and infrastructure implications besides becoming the major propeller of global warming and climate change. Looking at the role and importance of cities in alleviating poverty, pollution and numerous other growing dualitues and contradictions, presentation focusses on how to make growth and development of cities more rational, sustaianble, inclusive, safe abd resilient.
Presentation details the context, role and importance of both hard and soft infrastructure in making the human living more qualitative, productive, effective and efficient; briefs about the current status of infrastructure in urban India, roadblocks faced by institutions involved in the development of the cities in providing infrastructure and options to create appropriate level of infrastructures in urban India in order to make India a role model of urban development and making India third ranked global economy.
Options for making affordable housing for all a reality in urban India (1)JIT KUMAR GUPTA
Presentation tries to briefly dwelling on affordable housing in the context of India- Explaining the role and importance of housing in urban spaces , issues, challenges and roadblock faced and options available for making housing for all a distinct reality
Sustainable Urban Planning-Issues and Options JIT KUMAR GUPTA
Urban India remains in crisis- crisis of population; crisis of poverty; crisis of pollution; crisis of unplanned development; crisis of infrastructures; crisis of services; crisis of affordable living. Genesis of all these crisis has roots in approach and options used for development of urban and rural settlements, which is done on different footing with priority going for urban areas .Despite getting major attention, resources, manpower, technology, cities remain in crisis for the reason majority of urban ills have their origin in the neglect of the rural India. If India, as a nation has to move forward, then its emancipation falls within the domain of Rural India, which needs to be made more productive, livable and qualitative duly supported by technology and state of art infrastructures besides making urban and rural India equal partners in all policy planning and programs for development. Regional Planning offers the best option to achieve the objective.
Presentation is an attempt to define agenda for making housing cost-effective through designing, construction, materials and designing green buildings. Paper also looks at the making buildings cost-effective over entire life cycle of the buildings rather than initial cost.
India lives in villages” -said Mahatma Gandhi – father of nation-many decades ago-
Even after 100 years - data does not seem to disagree
Villages House majority of Indian population
-69% --roughly one-eleventh of humanity on planet earth
- almost 67% households-- still in rural areas
- Despite decline – villages will hold large population
- more than 50% before 2050
India- second largest urban/rural system globally after China
- - 6.4 lakh Villages Vs 0.079 lakh towns/cities
- 833 million pop Vs 377 million - 2011
Villages critical to India’s growth
Provider of food;- daily/basic needs of human living
Provider of basic/raw material for industrial processing
Mainstay of industry& national economy
One of Major contributor to Indian GDP
Offering largest consumer market
Houses largest manpower/work force
-Rural economy - primarily agrarian
Large dependence of population on Agriculture
- characterized by- Lower /limited productivity
- leading to - Poverty.
Agriculture contributes - 14 % of India’s GDP,
main source of income/ sustenance for- 69 % of rural population
Agriculture - strongly influences
-- food security
--prices of food
-- monetary wages.
-- rural income & demand
--supply of raw materials to industrial sectors
Rural India suffering due to--
-- public investment-- in rural India getting diluted
– proportion of irrigated land – remain low
- Large land-- rainfed land
- declining land productivity
- Limited adoption of cash crops
- Lack of agriculture diversification.
- Lack of consolidated land holding
- Low land holding
-- slow Growth of agricultural output--only 3.2% during 2007-2011.
- Housing Large population - Below Poverty Line (BPL)—25.7%- 2013
About 1/3 Rural India-- survives on a family income of Rs 5000/ month – Current income- India 1.79 lakh/capita/year
Rural development - easy to understand – difficult to implement.
- Rural areas face;
- Problem of physical/ planned development
- Villages prone to climate change and natural disasters
-- lack of adequate infrastructures , services , amenities,,
-Inadequate transport, Employment ,Physical development- etc.
- Lack of adequate Credit
- Absence of gainful alternates to occupations-- other than agriculture
-- Low investment in skilling Human beings in rural area
Promoting Rural development essential for India;
- to fueling overall economic growth
- increasing income opportunities
-- curbing poverty .
1% decline in agricultural growth– can pull back industrial/ GDP growth by 0.52%
For Achieving target of 9% GDP growth- Agricultural sector must grow annually@ 4%
Rural India- Offers comparatively better options than Urban India -to overcome challenges posed by;
- climate change,
- global warming,
-reducing carbon footprints and
- managing Green House gas emissions
Bharatiy Sanskriti working towards Rural upliftment via Vedic civilization culture where primary development of Gaushala and Gurukul is our aim where Farmers can be educated and do profit making business in village itself. So each village will become self sustainable.
Role and Relevance of Architects and architecture in SustainabilityJIT KUMAR GUPTA

Bridging gap between resources and responsibilities at Local level.JIT KUMAR GUPTA
Text refers to need, role, relevance and importance of empowering urban local bodies by bridging gap between resources available and responsibilities bestowed, for enabling ULBs to operate and function as institutions of local governance more effectively and efficiently.
Construction Industry Through Artificial Intelligence -.docxJIT KUMAR GUPTA
Considering the role, relevance and importance of construction sector in promoting economy, generating employment and creating wealth besides providing infrastructures and amenities, there is need to make the sector more effective, efficient, productive and sustainable. Driven manually, construction sector remains in the slow lane of creating quality built environment which are cost-effective, energy efficient, least consumers of resources and generators of waste. Artificial intelligence can help and empower the construction to make it more valuable, productive and qualitative besides supportive of environment and ecology. However, construction sector must be ready to co-operate and collaborate with IT industry to look for options and opportunities to make construction sector more qualitative and productive. Majority of urban ills and climate related issues can be resolved if Artificial intelligence can be embedded as integral part of the construction industry right prom planning, designing, construction, operation and management of the built environment and infrastructures. Communities and nations will save lot of valuable non-renewable resources if the construction sector is transformed from human led to technology led by the induction of Artificial intelligence. However, Construction industry has to search the areas where Artificial intelligence can be used effectively and intelligently.
Making Urban India a Role Model of Planned Urban Growth a.docxJIT KUMAR GUPTA
Known for productivity, promoting economy, employment and innovations cities, when properly planned, rationally developed and professionally managed, have been labelled and recognized as engines of economic growth. Prosperity and urbanisation are known to have positive co-relation with rational urbanisation, leveraging growth and development of any community, city, state and region. In majority of developing countries, where urbanisation remains unregulated, forced largely by rural push and less by urban pull, cities invariably remain in crisis, crisis of population, crisis of poverty, crisis of development and management. Cities need to be cared ,incentivized, empowered and made more productive, effective, efficient and humane.
Redefining Globalization, urbanisation and LocalisationJIT KUMAR GUPTA
If cities are to made more livable, humane and productive, it is time that intent, contents and scope of globalization must be revisited and reviewed, both critically and objectively. Globalisation would need redefinition for promoting universality and inclusiveness among people and nations to have basic amenities and quality of life for all its residents , including poorest of the poor to lead a dignified life. Failure to redefine globalization, rationalise urbanisation, restore localization empowering poor and promoting universalisation and inclusivity; will invariably lead to making SDGs merely a paper exercise. In addition, making the world, cities and communities sustainable, livable, safe and inclusive, would remain merely a dream and a mirage, for future generations and communities, making planet earth as their preferred place of residence.
Knowing, Understanding and Planning Cities- Role and Relevance Physical Plan...JIT KUMAR GUPTA
Cities are known for its complexities and operational inefficiencies. cities remain dynamic ,ever evolving, ever devolving, never static and never finite.
All cities remain different, distinct, unique and universal. No two cities are similar. Each city has its own strength, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. Accordingly, problem faced by any city cannot be viewed, dissected, analyzed and enumerated, while sitting within the four walls of the air-conditioned rooms and by the so called intellectual sitting in the so called offices determining the future of cities and towns. Neither the cities can be made more rational by limited knowledge agencies providing consultancy to cities , states and nations.
For realistically and rationally understanding, analyzing the cities and having simple, cost-effective and quality solutions to the problems and challenges faced , Cities have to be walked through and concerns of the various communities have to be properly understood and appreciated.
Prime reason for inability and lack of capacity on the part of majority of physical planners, engaged in the art and science of planning, designing and developing the cities, to address the issues and challenges faced by cities , realistically and rationally, has genesis in the lack of understanding of the origin, growth and development of cities.
Lack of capacity in majority of town planners, has roots in the quality of education imparted and seriousness and commitment on the part of both teachers and taught involved. As it stands today, majority of institutions involved in imparting education in planning are being run on an ad-hoc manner and by proxy. Only few institutions have regular teachers and regular students. Majority of planning institutions are being run on proxy with proxy students and proxy teachers. Education system including curricula used for teaching, needs, review, revision and redefinition to make it more relevant to rational for addressing the issues and challenges faced by the cities and towns.
Land as a Resource for urban finanace- 24-1-23.pptJIT KUMAR GUPTA
PPt tries to brief Land, as a gift of nature, is being grossly misused, abused , manipulated Land is globally used for providing platform for all human driven activities, based on living, working, culture of body/ mind and travel.
Limited availability, coupled with large number of human beings trying to source land, has invariably created large demand for land resource for human consumption. Land, in urban context, is required for meeting the specific needs of urban dwellers for residential, commercial, institutional, recreational, travel& traffic purposes besides providing space for infrastructures , amenities, services, trade and commerce etc. Land in urban context remains under large demand and command high price due to concentration of large population in small physical area, with stakeholders making competing claims.Rapid and uncontrolled growth in population experienced by urban areas has adversely impacted and generated considerable pressure on land resource in cities and towns , leading to large scale conversion, sub-division and illegal occupation of urban land. Unregulated and regulated pressure on land has largely been met by means of both formal/informal sub-division and development of land. Growth of the urban settlements and entire mechanism of urban planning and development remains land based/ land focused. In order to make optimum use of land resource on 24x7x365; making city planning, growth, development and management ,both rational. realistic, orderly and promoter of quality living, it will be critical and essential, that all ULBs are made to focus on eliminating culture and practices promoting un-authorized/ illegal sub-division of land for ushering an environment and era of planned urban development in the cities. Land needs to be effectively leveraged to generate resources for ULBs to make cities vibrant.

The phenomenon of global warming remains more pronounced in the urban areas, for the reason cities house large concentration of people and activities in a small/compact urban space.Densely-built downtown areas tend to be warmer than suburban residential areas or rural areas.. UHI not only raises urban temperatures but also increases ozone concentrations because ozone is a greenhouse gas whose formation will accelerate with the temperature. Tokyo, an example of an urban heat island. Normal temperatures of Tokyo go up higher than those of the surrounding area. However, it needs to be understood and appreciated that climate change is not the cause of urban heat islands but it is causing more frequent and more intense heat waves which in turn amplify the urban heat island effect in cities. Major reasons for ever growing global warming and climate change can be attributed to the; Nature and natural; Human-Driven; population; Rapid Urbanisation; Irrational Urban planning; High Density; Inefficient Transportation ;Large generation/consumption of fossil fuel based Energy; Unsustainable Buildings; Polluting Industry & Manufacturing; Unsustainable Agriculture; Irrational Development; Large scale Deforestation; Lack of open spaces and individual life-choices;

Planning and Designing Green buildings-.issues, options and strategiesJIT KUMAR GUPTA
Affordability and sustainable development are considered anti-thesis across the world. Generally there exists conflict between the approach to sustainable built environment and affordable buildings. Sustainable development is considered more expensive. According to Middleton, ‘Sustainability and affordability aren’t mutually exclusive goals. It’s not about adding extra, but thinking more carefully about the design of buildings and incorporating technologies that can offset the rising costs of energy, water and other services. Affordability and sustainability are known to fit together perfectly’.
Through excellent design, buildings can be made more sustainable and affordable. Smaller the footprint of buildings, lower will be the upfront costs and embodied energy and lower shall be the running costs of buildings. Looking at the entire context of health, rising cost of amenities/services; Sustainable/Green designs are now being increasingly adopted, to make built environment more cost-effective and affordable. Considering the enormous amount of built environment to be created, India will have no option but to tread the path of sustainability and sustainable development in the built environment. Sustainable built environment would also help in and go a long way in achieving the majority of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals for the reason, built environment is known to be the largest consumer of energy, avoid wasteful use of resources and minimise generation of waste. Global sustainability will be largely contingent upon how effectively and efficiently we can make our buildings sustainable and qualitative through innovative/green design solutions based on local climate and culture, valuing site planning, embedding orientation, cross ventilation, using renewable/waste materials and involving state of the art building technologies.
_Neighborhood Planning in Capital City of Chandigarh- An Appraisal (2) - Copy...JIT KUMAR GUPTA
Neighborhood as an idea, concept, option and strategy has been extensively used locally and globally by the Urban Planners to plan and decentralize cities, create cities within cities, promote self-contained communities and to make cities more humane, safe and socially vibrant. Neighborhood has also been used recently to define the city in terms of travel time - making 10/15 minutes city
Accordingly, large typologies of NH ,in terms of planning and designing , with varying shapes, sizes and contents have emerged in the urban context. Americans have used superblock and French using Sector for defining the neighborhood. Despite distinct advantages, holding high degree of relevance in urban and local area planning , NH planning has not been able to deliver the envisioned objectives of safety and social vibrancy. Cities in the process have been socially, economically and physically fragmented, leading to clear division of cities into different communities with little economical and social connectivity. Variance of planning and designing norms followed at NH and sub-neighborhood levels have promoted more dichotomy and contradictions with varying quality of life inducted at local level. Differential population and infrastructures have divided the city into the categories of high/low end NH units. Fabric and morphology of cities, in large cases, has been distorted with urban settlement emerging as a distinct social map of communities graded economically and socially,on the basis of area/location . In the process, the way NH planning concept has been used, neighborhood planning has emerged as an instrument of social and economic segregation/division. In fact in number of cases, concept has been used, misused, abused in intent and content to divide the cities into distinct social and economic layers. Instead of unifying , concept has led to division of cities.
Genesis of modern application of NH can be found in the planning and designing of Chandigarh where entire city fabric of capital city was woven around Sector as the basic unit of planning, concptulasied as self-contained and self-sustaining unit at the local level. However, the way sectors have been planned, it has led to dividing the cities into different and distinct communities. Individual status in Chandigarh can be judged from his/her residence. Concept of Sector has done more damage than good to the fabric of the city. Chandigarh is likely to face considerable problem in making city socially and economically cohesive/vibrant,. Sectors in Chandigarh remain anti-thesis to the basic concept of NH planning of safety, involving walkability, vehicular movement, putting commercial space in the centre. Considering role, relevance, importance and usability , NH needs to be planned, designed with care and caution, in order to make cities socially and economically vibrant, inclusive. NH planning deserves a new definition and approach to make it relevant and rational.
Reviewing, Revising and Redefining Master Plans and Development Plans to Ma...JIT KUMAR GUPTA
Looking at its efficacy and efficiency, it can be seen and observed that Master Plans/ Development Plans have done more damage than good for the planned growth and development of the cities to which they have been made applicable. These plans have been violated with impunity both by the people, communities, cities and parastatal agencies; for the betterment/welfare of which these plans were prepared. These plans have been visualized as controller of development rather than promoters of development. Instead of planned development , these plans have been usherers of the unplanned development. These plans are known to be responsible for promoting large number of slums besides making quality of life poor for majority of the urban inhabitants. Cities under Master Plans are also known to promote exclusion rather than inclusion. Master Plans/Development Plans are known to promote prosperity for few and marginalize the large proportions of the local community by making them poor. Instead of catering to urban dynamism, Master Plans/Development Plans try to freeze the city, for next two decades, to which it is made to serve. Accordingly, these plans need to be reviewed , rationalised, revised and redefined to make them better Master Plans/Development Plans
Rationalizing the Planned Growth of Urban India- paper.docxJIT KUMAR GUPTA
Rapid and uncontrolled growth in population experienced by urban areas has adversely impacted and generated considerable pressure on land resource in cities and towns , leading to large scale conversion, sub-division and illegal occupation of urban land. Unregulated and regulated pressure on land has largely been met by means of both formal/informal sub-division and development of land. Growth of the urban settlements and entire mechanism of urban planning and development remains land based/ land focused, based on a strategy of sub-division of the land, dictated by the economic forces prevailing in the market. Irrational and ineffective public policies of urban planning and land sub-division, devoid of prevailing ground realities, have turned out to be incompatible with the demands of urban expansion, leading to large scale un-authorized and illegal sub-division of land. In the process, valuable land resources, gift of nature, has been misused, abused and mutilated in this race of uncontrolled and irrational urbanisation. In order to make optimum use of land resource; making city planning, growth, development and management ,both rational. realistic, orderly and promoter of quality living, it will be critical and essential, that all urban centres are made to focus on eliminating the culture and practices promoting un-authorized/illegal sub-division of land for ushering an environment and era of planned urban development in the country.
Suggestion and Options for integrating villages. within the framework of the...JIT KUMAR GUPTA
Preparing Master Plans/Development Plans for any urban settlements, basically and essentially, involves declaring a planning area for which the said long term plans are prepared. Planning area invariably includes and involves, number of rural settlements, which comprise of the planning area besides the urban settlement. It has been observed that in majority of cases, while detailed studies and analysis are carried out of the urban settlements but villages in the study and analysis remain marginalized, diluted and muted. Despite the fact, villages have critical role in the rational development of the urban settlement, but in preparing Master Plans their role and relevance is not made part of the said plan. Accordingly, this text tries to bring out the typologies of villages falling in the planning area and the suggested framework to develop these villages in making Master Plans, better Master Plan. In order to improve Master Plan qualitatively, quantitively, both in intent, contents and scope, It will be appropriate that all the villages falling in the planning area must be studied , analyzed and made integral part of the final outcome of the proposals of Master Plan. In-fact one Chapter must be exclusively dedicated to detail out the issues faced by the Villages and options which can be leveraged to promote the rational growth of villages ,as an integral part of the long term development of the urban settlement , for which the Master Plan is being prepared. This will help not only in integrating the urban- rural settlements falling in the planning area, but would also go a long way in promoting and ensuring rational growth and development of the urban settlement, for which the Master Plan is being prepared.
Making cities Climate Responsive and SustainableJIT KUMAR GUPTA
“Decarbonization” of cities ,as an issue ,as an option and as a strategy , has been gaining currency in the parlance of; making planet earth livable and sustainable. “Decarbonization has been globally valued for keeping the global temperature below 1.5C, and achieving the agenda and goals defined in the 17 Sustainable Development Goals, defined by UN for achieving universal sustainability. Despite distinct role and relevance, criticality and importance of decarbonization of cities has neither been properly understood and appreciated nor made integral part of the architectural practice and art and science of designing and construction of buildings. Consuming one -third of global energy (33%) and generating 39% of greenhouse gas emissions buildings have been considered as the major player in the domain of climate change and global warming. Since Architects and Architecture are
actively involved in the making and unmaking of buildings, accordingly it becomes important that planners and architects must play a significant role in making
cities and buildings least consumers of energy and generators of the minimum greenhouse gas emissions. This objective can be achieved if decarbonizing cities/buildings is made a distinct reality . Issue of decarbonizing the cities/buildings assumes importance for the reason, that world’s building floorspace is likely to be become double by the year 2060, with the addition of large number of newcities/ buildings due to rapid urbanization, population growth and economic development ; required for catering to
to the needs of additional population opting for urban living.
Managing Planning and Development of Citie- 26-2-24.docxJIT KUMAR GUPTA
Cities in India are known to be in perpetual crisis; facing numerous crises in terms of; crisis of rational growth, crisis of orderly and planned development; crisis of effective and efficient urban management; crisis of making provision of basic infrastructure and services; crisis of climate change; crisis of global warming; crisis of poverty, pollution and population and crisis of making human living and prevailing environment qualitative. These urban crises have genesis in the fact that cities in India, lack ownership, command, authority and lack of willingness to run and manage cities professionally and objectively. In majority of cases, cities in India are run by proxy. In terms of physical growth and development; large cities are marked by multiplicity of agencies claiming right/ownership of development over the urban areas, whereas smaller cities face absence of such ownership and are made to run, operate and function like orphans
Agenda, Approach and Options for Rationalising and Redefining Future Indian ...JIT KUMAR GUPTA
Government of India/state policies, programs, mission and agenda must move providing basic essentials to all its citizens through an efficient, objective and transparent system of governance. For making cities livable and empowering people; right to basics/essential of human living including; Right to shelter, food, clothing universal access to healthcare, education, employment , infrastructures, amenities and mobility; should be made integral part of Indian Constitution by embedding it as Fundamental Rights/Directive Principles of state policy besides making them integral part of planning, development and management/governance process of all human settlements.

Book Formatting: Quality Control Checks for DesignersConfidence Ago
This presentation was made to help designers who work in publishing houses or format books for printing ensure quality.
Quality control is vital to every industry. This is why every department in a company need create a method they use in ensuring quality. This, perhaps, will not only improve the quality of products and bring errors to the barest minimum, but take it to a near perfect finish.
It is beyond a moot point that a good book will somewhat be judged by its cover, but the content of the book remains king. No matter how beautiful the cover, if the quality of writing or presentation is off, that will be a reason for readers not to come back to the book or recommend it.
So, this presentation points designers to some important things that may be missed by an editor that they could eventually discover and call the attention of the editor.

development strategies with well defined planning
norms/standards- creating tourism potential
• Urbanisable Villages- Villages provided with all urban facilities
for easier future integration with urban areas- through well
defined norms/ planned development-
• Rural Villages—To be developed as villages with basic
amenities/infrastructure/ employment through producing day
to day goods needed for urban living- vegetables, dairy
products, fruits/ vegetables etc

61. Preparation of the Plan
For preparation of plan, following methodology adopted to
conceptualize the objectives and prepare work plan for the
project.
1. Visiting the Village--Several visits made to
Village for interaction with community leaders i.e. the
sarpanch, panchayat members, village elders, school
teachers and opinion makers to gain first hand
information about the following aspects:
a. Demographic, socio-economic and cultural profile of
population of the village
b. The general topography and terrain of the area
c. The basic amenities available in/around the village
d. The problems and priorities of the village
61
62. 2. Visiting well developed villages-- well developed
modern villages i.e Palahi near Phagwara and
Begowal near Doraha visited / studied to acquire first
hand knowledge about methodology adopted in
scripting success story of development of villages.
3. Detailed physical map -- village Khera Dona
physical plan was prepared with the help of trained
staff for identifying the critical areas in the village.--
to plan different facilities and workout their cost.
4. A pilot socio-economic survey of the village
conducted with the help of the preliminary project
schedule. 62
63. 5. Based on pilot survey- final project schedule
prepared along with a set of questionnaires for
conducting door to door socio-economic survey of all
the households in the village and the surrounding farm
houses of the village. Data about following indicators
collected.
– Demographic, Socio-economic and cultural
characteristics of the village
– Demographic, Socio-economic and cultural
characteristics of immigrant villagers of Khera

65. 6. The relevant data collected collated, analysed and
evaluated vis-à-vis the socio-economic profile/amenities
available to the migrants and permanent village residents
keeping in mind the caste divide among the rural population.
7. Based on data analysis -- existing problems in terms of
infrastructure, service amenities and facilities were assessed,
identified and quantified.
8. Help of experts from different fields was sought-- to evolve
innovative approach to overcome the problems identified
above.
9. A preliminary cost estimate of providing various amenities
and facilities in the village was worked out and a final budget
estimate was prepared in the light of all the inputs gathered.

66. Critical requirements for the Implementation of
the Plan
1. Finances
a) from internal sources
b) from external sources
c) other sources
2. Execution Machinery and Trained Manpower
3. Socially Recognized organization by the village community
i.e. Village Panchayat/Village Vikas Committee
4. Government machinery
66
67. Sustainability
Sustainability of the created assets
considered crucial.
For this -- need of financial resources as

-- providing recreational activities
-- overcoming confusion over role / responsibilities of various
agencies.
-- achieving integration and decentralized planning-- enshrined in
Indian constitution
• Regional Planning optimizes regional resources by--
-- promoting synergies between rural and urban areas
-- connecting through a well defined settlement hierarchy
-- using developmental potential of each settlement
-- making them more sustainable

82. Ruralisation
Indian Cities can never be sustainable / slum free,
-- unless village development put on a fast track.
Rural settlements hold key to nation’s development
because of:
-- their small size;
--less population;
--compact development;
-- lower transportation needs;
-- lower energy and resource consumption.
-- living with nature,
-- using natural resources
Need for development of villages by
-- creating synergies between urban and rural settlements
-- connecting villages with adjoining urban settlements
-- developing large villages as growth centres with urban
amenities adopting a cluster approach
--urban villages to be planned and developed as integral
part of /cities, where they are located.
