PROBLEM STATEMENT--Due to rapidly increasing urbanization India's major cities are now facing great social
issues including housing problems, high energy consumption, waste disposal and shortage of electric power,
and water . By 2030 ,230 million of people will be migrated to all different cities in india.
•The most striking current changes
are the levels of urbanization in less
developed nations: rising from about
27 per cent in 1975 to 40 per cent in
2000 — an increase of more than 1
200 million people (United Nations
Population Division 2001b).
• Furthermore, there is every
indication that the trend will continue
for the next 30 years, adding 2 000
million people to the urban
population of the presently less-
developed nations
•By 2007, one-half of the world's
population will live in urban areas
compared to little more than one-
third in 1972, and the period 1950 to
2050 will see a shift from a 65 per
cent rural population to 65 per cent
urban (United Nations Population
Division 2001a)
Existing cities are not able to cater
to the ever increasing demand for
electricity and water.

Proposed solution
FUTURE CITIES
So focusing on new cities which are to be
build if well planned, can translate into
higher living standards as it is cheaper for
the government to provide services to a
concentrated population
Energy Conservation and efficiency will
be the hallmarks of the future great cities
of the world.
•Looking at the rate of migration to cities
for opportunities and better standard of
living and rapid economic development
leads to higher levels of urbanization,
India would not only need to make
existing cities liveable but also create
new cities in the future.
•Several state governments have
recognized the need to build more
planned cities on the lines of NAVI
MUMBAI and CHANDIGARH and even
along the DELHI-MUMBAI INDUSTRIAL
CORRIDOR.
• In a bid to develop existing cities, the
Central Government launched the
Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban
Renewal Mission (JnNURM) in 63
existing cities. The Mission also focuses
on providing basic civic amenities to all,
including the urban poor. It mandates
reform of the local civic bodies to ensure
the smooth flow of investment funds so
as to counter the deficiencies in present
urban infrastructure. Rajiv Awas Yojana
(RAY) was launched in 2011 to replace
JnNURM. The key focus of RAY is on
developing slum free cities which are
inclusive and capable of providing basic
civic and social services to all its
inhabitants.
EXISTING CITIES
POLYCENTRIC CITIES
•Poly centric cities will not be centralised and
dependent on the city core.
•It will multiple nodes spread all over in city
which will be self sufficient in basic
amenities(school,hospital,entertainment)
and needs(electricity,water supply,storage
and wastage
•Each node will inter-relate and contribute to
the city

To make liveable future cities primary needs like food, shelther
and clothing and corresponding civic amenities need to be
sufficed.
PROPOSED SOLUTIONS AT GLANCE
Sustainable living
Transit oriented city
Compact cities
Resource pooling
Easy transit within the city.
creating a walkable city,
encouraging public transport.
Appropriate road hierachy and
zoning of areas
energy
materials
waste
emissions
Using sustainable ,renewable
resources for need of energy,
and local materials for
construction. micro climate to
create green buildings.
GREEN CITY
Studies indicate that compact
high density cities utilize half as
much energy and generate half
as much air-pollution per capita
vis-à-vis a sprawling city.
Resource pooling allows to
reduce the load on resources,
thus saving resources and
making world better for coming
generations

5. •If a general store exists below a residential building you
only have to go downstairs to purchase an item for your
daily existence, a quart of milk, or rent a video, or get a
slice of pizza, etc. These mixed use cities will also help
societies become less dependent of automobiles thereby
reducing our reliance on fossil fuels. It also integrates
housing of all sections of the society and age group
thereby creating a more unified culture in the society.
public functions and services such as schools, hospitals,
restaurants and parks. Mixed-use developments affords is
more convenient as it promotes shorter commute times,
helps create a walkable community and forms a 24/7
urban environment which is safer.
•EACH NODE WILL BE 0F 0.4M IN RADIUS.
•Form of the nodes and of city will be decided according
to the topography of region.
•Each node will be self sufficient in aspects like having
basic amenities of
school,hospital,market,entertainment,electricity and water
bill paying offices,food production because of urban farms
or vertical kitchen gardens.
workplace is decentralized and urban form is not
Monocentric!
•Firms disperse to the Suburbs to be nearer to their
workforce.
•Studies show that by doing so they can take the saving in
worker commuting costs and pay lower wages to their
workers!
•Cities hence become “Polycentric” with multiple
subcenters.
•Technology helps firms to decentralize by reducing any
localized agglomeration economies.
The result: “Balanced Land Use” Live where you work
and work where you live. Balance eliminates much
travel.
PLANNING OF CITY’S NODE
Encouraging planning with
walkable mixed use
neighbourhoods rather than
single-use enclaves like a
residential complex or an office
park is also key to a vibrant and
efficient city
Mixed use planning
endeavours for a strong
relationship between where
people work and where they
live. Mixed-use
developments allow people
easy access to work
Vertical terrace or
kitchen gardens in
builsings to produce
daily vegetables
6. Transport
•Due to urbanisation and transport system of existing
cities, no.pre owned cars have rapidly increased.
•45% of co2 emission is due to passenger cars.
• Future city will have a railway access to enter the
city .
•They will be walkable,so the need to travel everyday
to work places will be greatly reduced.
•Besides there will be adequate service for emergency
vehicles.
•Bicycling through the city is a appealing idea which
will greatly reduce the usage of fuel for transportation.
•Lots of option for public transport like tramps or
busses.So cars will not be owned by any1 in the city.
There will be agencies having car pooling or residents
need to pay whenever car rented to them.
•Going ahead will the innovation, electric cars which
will use solar power for charging is proposed.
•So streets and parking lots will have charging
avaibilities
•Production of electric cars will be able to provide
employment for people in city.

The natural precious resources depleting is
going to make the future generation suffer , so
reduce the use of natural fuels.
And since air , wind ,water are available in

Water conservation and management
By 2025,1.8 million people
will be living in countries or
regions with absolute water
scarcity and two –thirds of
worlds population could be
living under water stressed
conditions.
Majority lack access to
consistent and adequate
supplies of clean water.

Biogas plants
The sanitation waste created by the city ,ie the soil waste and grey and
black water , organic wastage created by the city , kitchen and domestic
waste , everything will be used for creating biogas ,which will again help
in cooking gases . The sludge remained will be used as manure for the
environment.
So the waste is also reused for the betterment of living.
