GARDEN CITY 1.pptx urban planning concept

Urban planning

1. Garden City Movement Exploring the enduring legacy of Ebenezer Howard's vision in India and beyond.

2. Bangalore: The Garden City of India Bangalore (now Bengaluru) is perhaps the most prominent example of a city influenced by Garden City principles in India. The city's planned extensions, particularly Jayanagar, were designed with wide roads, ample green spaces, and distinct residential and commercial zones. The emphasis on tree-lined avenues, parks, and residential layouts with gardens reflects the Garden City ethos of bringing nature into the urban fabric.

3. This Bengaluru Master Plan 2015 uses a ring-and-radial growth model : Five Belts : Core city – CBD, dense mixed-use. Inner city – established neighborhoods. Suburban zone – new housing & jobs. Outer urbanising zone – planned townships. Green belt – rural/agricultural buffer. Radial Corridors : Major roads/transport spines for high-mobility growth. Secondary Centres : Mini-CBDs along corridors to reduce congestion in the core. Goal – Controlled expansion, decentralised growth, and infrastructure-led development while protecting green areas .

4. Other Indian Influences While Bangalore stands out, other Indian cities and planned developments also show traces of Garden City thinking. 70% Chandigarh's Green Corridors Designed by Le Corbusier, Chandigarh's master plan incorporates extensive green belts and a clear segregation of functions, echoing Howard's principles of planned space and green infrastructure, albeit with a modernist approach. 60% New Delhi's Lutyens' Zone The layout of Lutyens' Delhi, with its radial avenues, roundabouts, and expansive green lawns, draws inspiration from similar ideas of spacious, verdant urbanism, although on a grander, more monumental scale. 50% Planned Neighbourhoods Many post-independence housing board layouts and government colonies across India adopted elements like parks, wide roads, and integrated community facilities, reflecting a decentralised, green-focused approach to urban expansion.
