REGIONAL PLAN: A CASE OF MUMBAI METROPOLITAN REGIONYash Shah
Regional planning deals with the efficient placement of land-use activities, infrastructure, and settlement growth across a larger area of land than an individual city or town. Regional planning is a sub-field of urban planning as it relates land use practices on a broader scale. It also includes formulating laws that will guide the efficient planning and management of such said regions.
Regions require various land uses; protection of farmland, cities, industrial space, transportation hubs and infrastructure, military bases, and wilderness. Regional planning is the science of efficient placement of infrastructure and zoning for the sustainable growth of a region. Advocates for regional planning such as new urbanist Peter Calthorpe, promote the approach because it can address region-wide environmental, social, and economic issues which may necessarily require a regional focus.
A ‘region’ in planning terms can be administrative or at least partially functional, and is likely to include a network of settlements and character areas. In most European countries, regional and national plans are ‘spatial’ directing certain levels of development to specific cities and towns in order to support and manage the region depending on specific needs, for example supporting or resisting polycentrism.
The Mumbai Metropolitan Planning Committee (MMPC) was formed under the provisions of the Maharashtra Metropolitan Planning Committee Act 1999 and has been entrusted with the task of preparing a Regional Plan for the Mumbai Metropolitan Area with help from MMRDA. Currently, the Regional Plan 1996 is in operation which was prepared by the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) and sanctioned in 1999. The MMRDA was established under the MMRDA Act, 1974 and undertook the revision of the First regional plan prepared by the Regional Planning Board and sanctioned in 1973, under the provisions of the MR& TP Act, 1966.

AN APPROACH TO CONSERVATION OF BUILT HERITAGE - DELHI MASTER PLAN PROVISIONS.Purushottam Uttarwar
Urban Development and Conservation of Built Heritage are two sides of a same coin in a historic city like Delhi.Delhi is an ancient city with rich historical mile stones and heritage. Historically Delhi has been a capital city for many dynasties and rulers. Each ruler and dynasty left its impression and foot prints in the form of monuments, heritage buildings and capital complexes. The rulers have been conscious of Delhi’s past. Their desire to protect the past has influenced protection and conservation of built heritage. Archaeological survey and Public Works Department of British India began this task in the later 19th century and after independence ASI has become protector of India’s heritage. At a later date Master Plan documents attempted to make provisions for protection and conservation of built heritage. Right from the first Master Plan of Delhi 1962 to the Master Plan of Delhi 2021, each document contributed and perfected conceptual frame work, approach and policies for protection and conservation of monuments in Delhi.c. Master Plan for Delhi -2001: In the second Master Plan the aspect of conservation is dealt under a different subheads. Environment is section that talks about the conservation of the walled city. The section on Special Areas also mentions restoring the glory of the Walled City. Urban villages, which are an important component of the heritage are under the section of Shelter, it rightly mentions that heritage development should be a part of the overall development. The Master Plan was in accordance with the conservation thought of the day. Due to scattered scheme of conservation thoughts, implementation was a difficult task.
In the 90’s, MCD and NDMC published lists of buildings, which were ‘Protected’. In absence of any legislation or procedures, these monuments remained protected theoretically only.

Sustainable City Design: Developing Conceptual Planning Proposal for Eastern ...Shahadat Hossain Shakil
The Eastern fringe of Dhaka city is a low lying area along the bank of Balu River. According to DMDP, 32% of the total population of Dhaka city will be living there by 2020. This area is now facing scattered private housing development projects and rapid urbanization. So this paper aims at preparing a conceptual planning proposal for a planned sustainable urban environment. Objective of this study is planning a sustainable city environment for eastern fringe for projected population (2.6 million) of 2020 and conservation of retention pond areas. Before preparing the plan various town development plans were studied (Delhi Master Plan 2021, Navi Mumbai plan, Putrajaya town development plan etc). Then population for the year 2020 in the study area is projected. Afterwards land use distribution, road network design, zoning, detailed neighborhood design for different income groups etc is done. The study area is divided into four zones. A transit based transportation network is planned. Residential land use is the major land use in the study area. This site is planned as a poly-centric urban form with hierarchy of CBDs, adapted from Delhi Master Plan 2021. 15% area is conserved for retention ponds. A regional scale hospital, university, light industrial zone and waste treatment plant is planned. Agricultural lands and land for future expansion is also planned. Thus all the planning processes are applied to design a sustainable urban environment.

Identification of appropriate landfill sites for City of ChittagongKazi Mahfuzur Rahman
ABSTRACT
Urban solid waste management is a serious environmental issue confronting the cities in developing countries like Bangladesh. Apathy towards the problem, inadequacy of field level information and data, and resource constraints may be blamed for the dismal situation of solid waste management often visible in our cities. The most common problems associated with the absence of sustainable solid waste management practice include diseases transmission, odour nuisance, atmospheric and water pollution, visual blight, fire hazards and economic losses. In the three major cities of Bangladesh, Dhaka, Chittagong & Khulna, per capita production of solid waste is around 0.4kg /capita / day, but only a fraction of this waste is carried to the final disposal site. A recent study on Municipal Solid Waste Management, funded by Bangladesh Municipal Development Fund (BMDF), found that waste generated in Chittagong was 0.352kg/cap/day. Considering per capita generation of solid waste as 0.352kg to 0.4kg per capita per day, for a population of 25, 92,459 distributed within the 41 wards of the city (BBS 2011), total solid waste generated in Chittagong will be around 913 tons to 1037 tons per day in 2012.
Currently, Chittagong City Corporation has only two dumping yards: one at Ananda Bazar, Halishahar at the mid western part of the city and the other at Arefin Nagar, Pahartali at the northern tip of the city. None of these sites are sanitary landfill. Considering the city area of 168 sq.kms, only two dumping sites are not sufficient to cater to the requirement of the city. Long distances between the collection points and the disposal site are responsible for inefficient utilization of the CCC trucks and the resulting increase in the haulage time that eventually increases the costs of collection and disposal.
This paper aims to identify a number of appropriate landfill sites within the city for cost effective, efficient and safe disposal of solid wastes. An appropriate landfill site must satisfy environmental safety criteria and attributes that will enable the wastes to be isolated so that there is no risk to people and the environment. The criteria utilized for identifying appropriate landfill locations include natural physical characteristics as well as socioeconomic, ecological, engineering and land-use parameters. This study utilized Geographic Information System (GIS) and Multi-Criteria Decision Method (MCDM) for the identification and selection of appropriate landfill sites within the city of Chittagong. Thirteen sites were identified initially. Out of these sites four were found to be most appropriate and suitable for use as landfill. The sites thus identified, if utilized by CCC, are expected to bring a major change, in terms of cost effectiveness, efficiency and safety, in the current scenario of solid waste management in the city.
Challenges opportunities and way forward in making indian cities and citizens...ANIRBAN CHOUDHURY
This was presented by me during Panel Discussions on Captioned Topic during IoT India Congress – 2016 Bangalore, on 8th September 2016.
http://theiet.in/The_IET_announces_Indias_largest_conclave_on_the_Internet_of_Things%E2%80%93IoT_India_Congress_2016
It was a coincidence that during panel discussions I came across team from Deloitte and C44, instrumental in preparation of NTK's winning Smart City Proposal. For me it was one of the happiest moment for being in the same panel with current mentors, as I was involved with the NTK project from pre-takeoff to maturity stage.
In the captioned presentation I have highlighted the fact that NTK was designed with resiliant features, especially AA-1 of NTK and also how the AA-1D was made LEED Traditional Neighborhood Design compliant more than 1/2 a decade before it was formalized by USGBC, NRF & CNU. I have highlighted the salient features namely
(1) hierarchy of built & open spaces; habitats starting from neighborhoods- community -Towns with distinct boundary have been planned; socio-economic infrastructure has been planned in early 2000 that even fulfill the changed requirements of NBC2005 and UDPFI 2015. ;
(2) Though the city has been planned for inclusion of all class, creed & castes of the society, AA-1D has been designed for a well-diversified population (housing option) such that the SIMPSON Diversity index > 0.75.
(3) The hierarchy of roads and surface drainage were designed in such a way that it's having an inversely proportional relationship.
All the above resilience features were designed and built in the early 2000, 1/2 decade before Draft LEED TND of USGBC was published after 2005.
The structure of AA1D was designed to be resilient as it was meant to promote (a) Compact densification; (b) Scaling of a Traditional neighbourhood; (c) Fine Grain diversity
I have also highlighted the fact that what we have done in (terms of TND design) more than 1.5 decades back in the year 2000-01, is being replicated now as a Brownfeild Retrofit by Global Smart City Barcelona through creation of SMART SUPER BLOCKS ( we were ahead of time).
Also refer to linked-in posting " GREENFIELD URBAN RETROFIT - INSPIRED BY TRADITIONAL NEIGHBORHOOD DESIGN & URBAN PATTERN" for the story behind Smart Retrofit done by me for Action Area 1D in the year 2001.

PLANNING PRINCIPLES OF LE CORBUSIER – A CASE STUDY OF CHANDIGARH CITYYash Shah
The city has a pre-historic past. The gently sloping plains on which modern Chandigarh exists, was in the ancient past, a wide lake ringed by a marsh. The fossil remains found at the site indicate a large variety of aquatic and amphibian life, which was supported by that environment. About 8000 years ago the area was also known to be a home to the Harappans. Since the medieval through modern era, the area was part of the large and prosperous Punjab Province which was divided into East & West Punjab during partition of the country in 1947. The city was conceived not only to serve as the capital of East Punjab, but also to resettle thousands of refugees who had been uprooted from West Punjab. In March, 1948, the Government of Punjab, in consultation with the Government of India, approved the area of the foothills of the Shivaliks as the site for the new capital. The location of the city site was a part of the erstwhile Ambala district as per the 1892-93 gazetteer of District Ambala. The foundation stone of the city was laid in 1952. Subsequently, at the time of reorganization of the state on 01.11.1966 into Punjab, Haryana and Himachal Pardesh, the city assumed the unique distinction of being the capital city of both, Punjab and Haryana while it itself was declared as a Union Territory and under the direct control of the Central Government.
The Union Territory of Chandigarh is located in the foothills of the Shivalik hill ranges in the north, which form a part of the fragile Himalayan ecosystem. It is occupied by Kandi (Bhabhar) in the north east and Sirowal (Tarai) and alluvial plains in the remaining part. The subsurface formation comprises of beds of boulders, pebbles, gravel, sand, silt, clays and some kankar. The area is drained by two seasonal rivulets viz. Sukhna Choe in the east and Patiala-Ki-Rao Choe in the west. The central part forms a surface water divide and has two minor streams.
This is a subdivision plan of a residential area which area is 57 acres with including a 3 D model of that subdivision plan. This whole project is done by

Introduction
1.1 Background:
Chittagong is the second largest metropolitan city of Bangladesh. It is located on a peninsula,
bordering on the west by the Bay of Bengal and on the east by the Karnophuli river. The city has
an estimated population of 2 million in an area of about 184 sq. km (Rahman, et al, 2001).
Chittagong city is known for its port than any other reason. It’s existence as a commercial and
port city dates back to 80 AD (Khan and Salehuddin, 1967). The city is also well known for the
location of various industrial units and about 30% of the total industrial product of the country
comes from this city area. Considering the industrial, commercial and institutional potentials, the
government of Bangladesh has declared it the ‘Commercial Capital’ of the country.
There are six major cities in Bangladesh. There are problems in Dhaka regarding unplanned
developments, leading to much pollution. But Chittagong is clean and green, with many hills. It
has received the Prime Minister's award for being the cleanest city. There is a river, and
Chittagong Port is a very important port for the economy, though it also adds to the pollution.
There is a land use plan in effect, though the city has planned residential areas, unplanned
residential areas, and commercial and industrial areas.
1.2 Goal:
To critically analyze the existing condition of the residential areas of Chittagong.
1.3 Objectives of the Study:
To describe the existing condition of residential area.
To draw layout plan of existing residential areas of Chittagong.
1.4 Scope of the Study:
This study has explored the types of land use in the study area and also explores
the existing conditions of the land use in the study area.
1.5 Limitations:
