- Most Indian towns and cities have statutory urban plans in place. These plans, elaborately prepared by state or local planning authorities, are meant to direct their growth and to guide infrastructure investments. In an overwhelming majority of cases, however, these plans are neither effective in ensuring planned growth nor in guiding infrastructure investments. As a consequence of this, most Indian towns and cities are growing haphazardly. Their infrastructure systems are severely stressed and they are not being systematically augmented.
Planners give many reasons to explain the ineffectiveness of urban planning in India. They blame, for example, the lack of resources, the lack of strict enforcement or, political interference. But are these reasons valid? This talk will argue that urban planning does not work in India because it is misguided and based on faulty assumptions. It is still mired in the thinking and approach of the License-Permit Raj. For it to work, Indian urban planning needs a paradigm shift. Drawing on insights gained from the liberalization of urban planning in Gujarat during the late 1990s, and on an understanding of why planning works where it does, the talk will propose specific ways in which urban planning needs to change if it is to work.
One of the best architects and Urban planners in India...only wish his ideas get implemented throughout the country
The govt does have plans for noida sonepat etc too
beautiful talk. every Indian living in a city should see this video
For those who have patience, this is one presentation that brings out the errors in town planning /master planning which can be corrected to take urban India forward. Especially a must for "master planners".
May India rise 🇮🇳
Amazing lecture!
"Its planned haphazard growth". True words makes sense when you open google maps
nice presentation
Is Babudom the main problem? As they are in charge of Execution of these plans..
Will it work out?
audio and video mismatch ! Plzz correct it
funny thing is he keeps on mentioning london and hong kong which are extremely unliveable in the last 10 years atleast for people from the middle and lower economic groups because of rising rent prices and extreme gentrification. Urban Aesthetics or planning cities in an ordered way cannot only define if a city is liveable or good. It is a narrow minded way of seeing things !
Anyone know the paper referred to @ 1:18:39?
Did you find it?
