Urban planning by objectives

Urban planning is not an extension of architecture, but requires the co-ordination of a wide variety of skills and inputs. Most importantly, planning is meaningless unless it is firmly linked to implementation. The planner's best course of action is to set the objectives of his plan, and use these to determine policy initiatives.

Housing supply under rapid economic growth and varying regulatory stringency: An international comparison

We present results of an empirical investigation and comparison of housing supply in three rapidly growing countries: Malaysia, Thailand, and Korea. These countries offer three contrasting examples of different approaches to development control. Korea has relatively strict control of housing supply. Thailand has little effective regulation of development. Malaysia offers an intermediate case, having adopted in the mid-1970s development control legislation patterned on the British Town and Country Planning Act.

Green architecture: design for a sustainable future

A research programme for urban housing

This paper outlines a research proposal for a series of investigations into aspects of urban housing which it seems important to understand before formulating an enlarged public housing programme. Studies in the areas outlined here are either scanty or non-existent.

Clean Cities: ET NOW Sets The Agenda | Save Our Cities | India Development Debate

1 billion people in India, or 100 million more than the number of voters we have in India, live in water scarcity! And this number is expected to go up to 5 billion by 2050. This is the appalling statistic that has come out from research by Water Aid on Monday. Club this with the fact that one in every eight deaths in India is attributable to air pollution in India, the Ganga River is far dirtier than what it was a few years back and the health cost of environmental challenges can go up to 3% of our GDP, which is higher than our health budget.

रणनीति: KMP एक्सप्रेसवे पर सियासत?

मोदी ने कुंडली मानेसर पलवल हाइवे के कुंडली-मानेसर हिस्से का उद्घाटन किया. ये वेस्टर्न पेरिफेरल एक्सप्रेसवे है, जिसका गुरुग्राम में उद्घाटन किया गया. उम्मीद है कि इससे भारी ट्रैफिक में निजात मिलेगी. दिल्ली में कम ट्रक अंदर आएंगे और ये दिल्ली के प्रदूषण को कुछ कम करने में मदद करेगा. पीएम मोदी ने इसका उद्घाटन करते हुए कहा कि पिछली सरकारों ने इस काम में देर की.
