Sustainable Urban Planning
The volume examines the planning framework in the Indian context and takes up sustainable urban planning in India—the need for it and concerns relating to it. It focuses on the dynamics of sustainable planning in the country. It integrates the concepts of liability and affordability, compares inequality and sustainability in the Indian planning context and discusses the impact of affordability thresholds in urban and regional planning and applicability of inequality variations in understanding urban and regional agglomerations in India. It takes up the impact of facility design and management on the future of sustainable planning. With a few case studies on livability variations in urban regions, it stresses the need for an approach that would take into consideration diversities in the systems of Indian urban and metropolitan regions and variation in the patterns of urbanisation and modernisation.
