Sub A green spread out Planned city
Sir
India and Africa are two places where towns and city look most unplanned and lack some basic infrastructure Africa India are growing at a mind boggling pace crammed by people Vehicles Motorcycles
I have visited many cities in the world But Indian and African cities &some W Asian cities havnt got the infrastructure support base in form of Wide Boulevards open spaces &they lack charm the purity of air the smartness of Buildings and the beauty of Avenues Tree Lined Boulevards with heritage lamp posts and benches for old that we see in Australian UK Europe US Canada Not only that they build and maintain repair polish the city assets like pavements a medians lampposts prune trees & flowers keep everything Intact We build & forget
If we are to build real smart cities much is to be learnt from cities mentioned below
I recently had a chance to visit US UK Europe Australia of all these I liked Paris London Berlin Prague Vienna St Petersburg, Adelaide, Milton Keynes & in my own country our own chandigarh the most.
Why I liked them ?Not because they have Highrise Buildings Multilayer Parking? Flyovers ?IT parks ?Retail shops like locusts Which are more a jigsaw of glass steel Box like buildings which have no.aesthetics only a juxtaposition o[censored]gly signboards ?
Actually these European Australian cities don't need them because they have East to West and North to South streets at every 50 meters Promenades spread out parkings I like these cities because
They don't choke you like Hong Kong or Taipei DaresSalaam Mumbai with pencil thin highrises rising next to each other They have low Max 4, :& 5 storey buildings that lay along green Boulevards that don't give a choked feelin
Another thing that is adding to chaos meyhem confusion in Big cities is the Concept of Gated Communities Where 20000 sft or more is walled by Builders to make 5, 6, Or more Highrises with no tree on earth ( they are on roof or above Parking) Denying the nurture of mother Earth by tree Roots sucking water from Rain pushing it into earth and thereby increasing richness if soil richness of Sub soil UG water levels What happens in a Gated Community? 20000, 30000 sft is usurped by builder Walled with no cross roads for public other than Residents of society ?Now they don't allow thoroughfares on their land deny road access BUT ?;Their 5000 odd residents car SUV M Cycles enter the public Streets and enter from street to Gated community which puts tremendous pressure on Traffic System leading to long hours of Jam we with Ness beyond Andheri to Dahisarbor in Bangalore ? This concept of Gated community is biggest contributor to traffic jam So STOP creating Gated Communities Build cities by a Grid if Cross Roads
g
They have a neatly laid spread out planned layouts of Avenues and Boulevards with Cross Roads with Maple Beech Elm trees on sidewalks
The city should have smart marketplace of exotic style buildings that you see in images below Like Venetian or Art Deco d
They have their cross roads spread out in curved or tapered street corners with most corner houses either tapered or SemiRound
They protect their old heritage Buildings like precious stones and don't destroy them to make way for ugly High-rises after their Palm are greased by eager moneybag Builders The city councillors are largely honest Visionary people who don't bend laws for builder lobby
They provide Benches for old and Phy challenged by building benches near a shady tree
Their Boulevards are wide with lawns Flowers Hedges like.these
Cities must be surrounded by dense forests like these in Neveli to supply much needed oxygen to a polluted city These cities have plenty of green space around them like city forest 8)In India Open Cut and cover drains have taken lives of many young and old souls and fractured bones of many due to a missing slabn In Europe Aussie UK so cities there are no open drain or cut and cover drain that we see here with damaged cover There shd be no open drain in any smart city b.All their drainage system are Underground laid 5 ft underneath the Pavement by 5 ft dia spun pipes and precast manholes Joined by T joiners with round manholecast iron covers.Over them Pavemnts it 5 inch thick edging of CC is laid for borders and is filled by gravel, Briquette and then rough machine cut stone tiles are laid 3 feet space is left as green belt to plant lawn Hedge or plants like Higificus Microcarpa Gold Medelion Elm Beech tree or Duranta Hedge
They also construct tree guards for trees like these
They have 100%waterproof streets made of Plastic Bitumen Sand Lime Chips
They landscape their riverfront or sea front by constructing a promenade if a walkway with a green belt and a cast iron Railing and wrought iron Lampposts and benches on the sea side or river side like you seehere PAG
