This document discusses the water logging issues in Dhaka, Bangladesh caused by the disappearance of canals. It notes that Dhaka previously had 58 canals that served as its drainage system, but now only 26 remain in critical condition. The document examines the previous and present physical conditions of the canals, identifies five processes of canal encroachment including unauthorized landfilling and illegal construction, and discusses the consequences of encroachment such as increased flooding. It also outlines the plans of Dhaka's mayors to revitalize the canal system through activities like removing illegal structures, deepening canals, and installing septic tanks to keep water clean.
Fredrick Law Olmsted was an influential American landscape architect in the 19th century who is considered the founder of landscape architecture in the United States.

This document discusses stormwater harvesting, which involves collecting stormwater from urban areas and treating it so it can be reused. The key points are:
- Stormwater is collected from drains or creeks and treated to make it safe for non-drinking uses like watering parks. This reduces drinking water demand and pollution entering waterways.
- A stormwater harvesting scheme includes an extraction point, transport pipes, a storage tank, treatment system, distribution pipes, and management of byproducts. Several case studies and types of schemes are presented.
- Benefits include alternative water source, sustainable water management, and reducing flooding and pollution. Solutions discussed include modular tanks, filtration, pond development, ecological channels

The town layout and architecture was influenced by the Dutch, who built warehouses and factories. Alappuzha became known as the "Venice of the East" due to its extensive canal network. While trade and industry declined in the 20th century, Alappuzha is now a popular tourist destination
Portland, Oregon is known as a green city due to its sustainable transportation system and strategies to harvest rainwater. Some of its rainwater harvesting methods include rainwater tank systems, eco-roofs, and green streets. Portland also has one of the lowest carbon transportation networks in the United States, which includes improving pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure, expanding the streetcar system, and maintaining bridges and pavement.
Incremental housing is a gradual process where low-income families pay for and construct housing over time through a step-by-step process. It provides an alternative to expensive formal housing by allowing residents to improve their homes according to their means. Issues like rapid urbanization, lack of affordable housing, and the formation of slums have increased the need for incremental housing solutions. Effective approaches involve providing access to land, a basic core structure, and supporting policies to facilitate long-term housing development by residents.

Switchyard Park Master Plan | Inventory PhaseSwitchyardPark
As the initial step in the master plan process, the Switchyard Park Master Plan team conducted a thorough inventory of the site, its surroundings and those factors that might influence its development.
The purpose of the inventory phase was two-fold. First, it is essential to understand the physical, environmental, ecological, social, economic and development influences of the site in order to develop a concept for the park that will function efficiently and effectively at each stage of its development and use.
Equally important is the need to understand in detail the cultural characteristics, history and significance of the site. Discovering these distinctive qualities of place and celebrating them through imaginative design will result in a community park that is unique to Bloomington.

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.
Amman 2025 From Master Plan to Strategic Initiative | Amman Institute Amman Institute
The Greater Amman Municipality set out in 2006 to replace its outdated 1987 development plan with Amman 2025. Due to rapid development pressures, the plan shifted from a traditional 20-year master plan to a more flexible strategic growth initiative. Rather than a long planning phase separated from implementation, analysis and legislative interventions occurred closer together. Extensive engagement with professionals and municipal staff also distinguished Amman 2025. The plan aimed to accommodate 4 million new residents by 2025 through infill, densification, and limiting expansion, while concentrating large developments in designated high-density zones. The short timeline of under two years reflected the urgent need to guide Amman's growth.
This document summarizes the key aspects of a master plan submitted for a settlement. It discusses:
1. The need for master plans arose due to unplanned growth of cities following industrialization and wars, which led to overcrowding and lack of infrastructure.

throughout the city that keeps people and the environment healthy
• Connect Bridgeport’s signature regional parks to its neighbors
Ecologically diverse
• Celebrate the range of open space types in Bridgeport’s system
• Bring renewed brownfields, vacant lots, and neglected lands back
into the open space system
accessible to all
• Offer more diverse programming
• Improve communications and ensure parks are highly visible
Economically Viable

55. Sustainable Maintenance
Greener Management in Bridgeport Means:
• Renaturalize 180 acres total - 25% of Beardsley, Seaside, and
Golf Course
• Potential operations savings of $1,005/acre vs. traditional
landscape or $180,900 annually in operations costs*
• Savings can result from staff time, equipment, and materials
• Upfront costs for conversion from turf followed by longterm
savings
Benefits
• Introduction of native plants
• Restoration of former habitat
• Enhanced biodiversity
• Reduction of carbon impact from mowing and maintenance
*Potential savings estimated based on current Bridgeport parks spending and maintenance
practices in Bridgeport, and case studies of similar changed landscape managment practices.

landscape is anything but natural.

• Natural areas converted to prairie grasses, storm water ponds and
shoreline buffers
• Management standards:
» Athletic Field - Maintained daily to weekly, grass height of 2.5 to
3”. Potential for durable astroturf
» General Park Turf Maintenance - Maintained on a less frequent
basis. Grass height can exceed 5” at times.
» Reduced Mowing in Natural Areas - Maintained on an
infrequent basis.

• Goal to convert 20% of each park to maintained meadow areas.
• Meadows contain native plants and are mowed 1-2 times per year.
