Urban consolidation aims to make more efficient use of existing urban land through increased density and maintaining population densities. This helps limit urban sprawl and the associated environmental and economic costs. Compact cities are more sustainable by reducing reliance on cars, enabling efficient infrastructure and public services, and fostering active communities through higher density living. Developing countries face challenges in compact city development like insufficient social infrastructure to match rapid population growth and weak public transportation systems. Policies promote sustainability through efficient infrastructure, balanced urban activities considering rural links, social equity, and other goals.

An Urban Design Approach to a Sustainable Compact City in New Growth Potentia...drboon
Existence of Cities always depends on the region for the resources-land, food, water, energy or maybe cheap labor. The resource base is vital for the survival of the cities. With increasing urban sprawl there is a great impact on the future of cities and their sustenance. The primary intent of the study is to demonstrate an Urban Design approach towards a sustainable compact urban model in new growth potential areas (case of Cyberabad, Hyderabad, India) as a means to counteract city’s faceless sprawl and environmental degradation by generating compact high density, low energy, mixed-use living and integrating it with the existing city fabric reducing the ecological footprint for future generations. As the selected site offers good natural features, ecologically sensitive areas of the site i.e. Steep slope areas, catchment channels and climatically unsuitable areas from the open space system of the development. The sustainable compact city design approach balances the environmental loads and the growth of city saving resources, conserving energy and enhancing the quality of life.
Every one in the world wants to live in a compact environment. like in olden days the peoples they were used telephone, telegram, etc. for communication. but in the current scenario every one have smart phones for better communication. Because smartphones are compact and convenient to them.This presentation about Compact City planning and also it dealt how various compact cities in the developed and developing countries manage themselves. This presentation just gives an outline of the compact city planning.

Strategies for Promoting Urban SustainabilityJIT KUMAR GUPTA
Presentation looks at the options of making urban areas more liveable, productive and sustainable. It includes the reduction of energy consumption through green buildings and green transport
Cities are being named and renamed, for demanding/commanding new culture, pattern of growth for overcoming prevailing urban ills. Their journey includes moving from planned cities, to becoming garden cities, linear cities, vertical cities, smart cities, compact cities to smart cities. Cities, as integral part of human history and as most complex creation of humanity, are always evolving and devolving, on the move and never finite. Cities distinguished by agglomeration/ concentration of human beings/activities, remain embodiment of dichotomy and contradictions. Cities represent disorder and chaos; where poverty/prosperity rub shoulders; where beauty/ugliness dot the urban canvas; where planned / unplanned development competes and where skyscrapers/slums/shanties rub shoulders. Known as creators of wealth and generators of waste, promoter of global economic growth and productivity, cities have also emerged as breeding grounds of poverty, exclusion, pollution and environmental degradation. Considering the prevailing contradictions, and critical role/importance; cities need to be made Humane and harmonious. Processes and principles that could be leverage for making cities harmonious need to include identifying issues and roadblocks largely responsible for making urban growth both unplanned, haphazard, irrational and sub-standard besides evolving strategies and options for making the urban growth rational for ushering a new ersa of Harmonious urbanization in India
cities remain complex, inhumane, serving rich, ignoring poor, ignoring poor, caring rich, promoting exclusion. depriving majority from basic human essentials, ignoring misery, promoting poverty and leveraging prosperity. Cities remain studded with dualities and contradictions, always evolving, changing and chasing opportunities and making people miserable .

The Congress for the New Urbanism views disinvestment in centr.docxrtodd643
The Congress for the New Urbanism views disinvestment in central cities, the
spread of placeless sprawl, increasing separation by race and income, environmental
deterioration, loss of agricultural lands and wilderness, and the erosion of society’s
built heritage as one interrelated community-building challenge.
We stand for the restoration of existing urban centers and towns within coherent
metropolitan regions, the reconfiguration of sprawling suburbs into communities of
real neighborhoods and diverse districts, the conservation of natural environments,
and the preservation of our built legacy.
We advocate the restructuring of public policy and development practices to
support the following principles: neighborhoods should be diverse in use and
population; communities should be designed for the pedestrian and transit as well
as the car; cities and towns should be shaped by physically defined and universally
accessible public spaces and community institutions; urban places should be framed
by architecture and landscape design that celebrate local history, climate, ecology,
and building practice.
We recognize that physical solutions by themselves will not solve social and economic
problems, but neither can economic vitality, community stability, and environmental
health be sustained without a coherent and supportive physical framework.
We represent a broad-based citizenry, composed of public and private sector
leaders, community activists, and multidisciplinary professionals. We are committed
to reestablishing the relationship between the art of building and the making
of community, through citizen-based participatory planning and design.
We dedicate ourselves to reclaiming our homes, blocks, streets, parks, neighborhoods,
districts, towns, cities, regions, and environment.
Continued on back...
1) Metropolitan regions are finite places with
geographic boundaries derived from topography,
watersheds, coastlines, farmlands, regional parks,
and river basins. The metropolis is made of
multiple centers that are cities, towns, and villages,
each with its own identifiable center and edges.
2) The metropolitan region is a fundamental
economic unit of the contemporary world.
Governmental cooperation, public policy, physical
planning, and economic strategies must reflect
this new reality.
3) The metropolis has a necessary and fragile
relationship to its agrarian hinterland and natural
landscapes. The relationship is environmental,
economic, and cultural. Farmland and nature are
as important to the metropolis as the garden is
to the house.
4) Development patterns should not blur or
eradicate the edges of the metropolis. Infill
development within existing urban areas
conserves environmental resources, economic
investment, and social fabric, while reclaiming
marginal and abandoned areas. Metropolitan
regions should develop strategies to encourage
such infill development over peripheral expans.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

22. The vision for the Town Centre is that of a new and vibrant centre, a place where people will live and work, a place to shop, for entertainment, restaurants and cultural and community activities. It will be home to approximately 5,500 residents and about 7,000 people are expected to work in the Town Centre. The strategic positioning of parks and public plazas will provide areas for recreation and relaxation. The total gross floor space proposed for the Green Square Town Centre is 410,000m2, comprising 286,700m2 of residential, 106,800m2 of commercial and 16,500m2 retail.
27. Initial Development: This enabled consideration of several different approaches to such aspects as physical and visual connections with the city, the use of water as a thematic element, and the proportion and allocation of public open space. The resulting open space network integrates green space with local bodies of water, and connects the Docklands with the central city and neighboring communities.
