Gandhinagar,Gujarat,India- Urban Design for Student Architects.Vimita Prasanna
Gandhinagar is the capital of Gujarat, India, located along the banks of the Sabarmati River. It was planned in the 1960s as the new capital after Gujarat split from Bombay state. The city was designed by Indian planners in a highly structured grid layout divided into 30 sectors. Gandhinagar remains one of the greenest and most planned cities in India due to its new development and emphasis on green spaces throughout the urban planning.
Gandhinagar was established in the 1960s as the new capital of Gujarat after its separation from Bombay state (now Maharashtra). It was designed by two architects who drew inspiration from Chandigarh, with a grid street pattern and superimposed networks for vehicles and pedestrians. The city is named after Mahatma Gandhi and contains numerous statues in his honor. It has a tropical climate and experiences hot summers, monsoon rains, and mild winters. Key landmarks include the Akshardham Temple, GIFT City Tower, and Adalaj Stepwell. The city's growth began around the capital complex and expanded outward to surrounding villages.
- Jaipur was established in 1727 by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II as the new capital of Amber to replace the old congested city.
- It was planned according to the principles of Hindu architecture and town planning with a grid layout divided into nine blocks by main streets.
- The city was strategically located on a plain bounded by hills which provided natural fortification and building materials, and access to water supplies.

The document discusses the city planning of Chandigarh, India. It describes how Le Corbusier revised the initial plan by Albert Mayer, dividing the city into sectors of about 1200 by 800 meters. Each sector was designed as an autonomous neighborhood with housing, schools, shops, and recreational spaces. The capital complex was shifted to a higher ground and designed according to Le Corbusier's philosophies. While the planning approach was praised for creating a well-organized city, it was also criticized for being too standardized and not reflecting Indian culture and ways of life. The document analyzes the planning concepts and provides an overview of the development of Chandigarh.
Navi Mumbai was created in 1970 to decongest Mumbai and promote balanced regional development. It was planned by CIDCO according to principles of decentralization, self-sufficient townships, and single use zoning. Navi Mumbai consists of several nodes planned for different income groups with residential neighborhoods, industrial zones, and conservation areas. While growth has been slow, it accelerated in the 1990s with the Nhava Sheva port. Today Navi Mumbai stands as a structured, planned city contrasting with Mumbai's organic development.

Chandigarh city planning by Le CorbusierAs Per Design
Le Corbusier was commissioned to design the new capital city of Chandigarh after the previous designers withdrew from the project. He retained the basic fan-shaped layout but converted it to a grid pattern with sectors. His design compressed the area while increasing density and respecting garden city principles. Chandigarh's plan was conceived as analogous to the human body, with defined areas serving as the head, heart, lungs, and other organs connected by a road network. Key features included sectors, a central business district, cultural/educational institutions, and open green spaces.
Udaipur is a city in Rajasthan, India located on the banks of Lake Pichola. It has a population of over 450,000 people and is known as the "City of Lakes" due to its many lakes. The economy is based on mineral industries such as copper, zinc and marble mining. Tourism is also a major industry thanks to the city's historic palaces and lakes. The city has a literacy rate higher than the national average and several universities. Transportation is provided by an airport and rail stations while buses connect to other cities.
Gandhinagar, the capital of Gujarat, India, was planned and built in the 1960s-1970s as a new capital city. It was designed by Indian architects Prakash Apte and H.K. Mewada according to principles of urban planning, with 30 sectors of residential and commercial areas organized in a grid pattern connected by a network of numbered and lettered roads. The city was intentionally designed and built by Indians as an expression of independence and as a tribute to Mahatma Gandhi, whose birthplace was Gujarat.
Sawai Jai Singh II established the city of Jaipur in 1727, moving the capital from the congested hill town of Amber. Jaipur was planned according to Hindu texts on city planning, with a grid layout divided into nine wards by main streets oriented along the cardinal directions. This layout aligned with the site's geography, incorporating existing roads and a natural ridge line. The new capital strengthened the region's defenses and economy by its strategic location and planned design.
Regional planning can be found as a significant element in the planning systems
of many countries worldwide, although the definitions and nature of what constitutes
regional planning can vary considerably. Occupying an intermediate
position in the planning hierarchy, regional planning can also sometimes find
itself in an uncomfortable position – squeezed between often quite powerful
national and local elements of those systems. As such, regional planning fortunes
can wax and wane – but what has been remarkable over time has been
the enduring nature of such activity because there are important issues which
require this level of intervention. Indeed it is our contention that, with the
trends and emerging issues in contemporary society, there is an even stronger
need for regional planning. Economic and social tendencies foster increasing
mobility, in daily/week time and in lifespan time. Spatial patterns are influenced
by concentrating and dispersing flows; it no longer makes sense to consider
urban and rural areas as distinct self-contained territories – they are linked
to nearby and distant areas in a variety of different ways, reflecting for example
the revolution in telecommunications. We are also confronted with the fundamental
challenges of climate change and the drive for a much more sustainable
approach to our development. The regional level may have a central role to
play in the ‘territorial integration’ between natural and socio-economic systems,
providing an appropriate basis for advancing sustainability.

The Aranya Community Housing project in Indore, India aimed to provide affordable housing for lower income groups through a planned, serviced site development approach. The 85 hectare site was divided into 6 sectors serving different income levels. The master plan emphasized a hierarchy of roads, open spaces, and mixed land uses to create integrated neighborhoods. Housing typologies allowed for incremental expansion over time. Core housing units provided basic facilities with flexibility for residents to customize indoor and outdoor spaces. Materials and construction methods were locally sourced and labor intensive to keep costs low.
Study of city evolution- temple town Madurai Sulthan Ahamed
Madurai, located in Tamil Nadu, India, is an ancient city with a long history as the capital of the Pandyan Kingdom. Known as the "Athens of the East," the city evolved around the Meenakshi Amman Temple complex located at its center. Madurai was carefully planned according to traditional Indian principles with concentric streets radiating outward from the temple. Lower castes lived farther from the temple core. Today, Madurai remains an important economic, cultural, and transportation hub of Tamil Nadu renowned for its vibrant cultural life and traditions.
Bhubaneswar was chosen as the capital of Odisha in 1948 to replace the congested city of Cuttack. The architect Dr. Otto Koenigsberger designed the new capital based on principles of neighborhood planning to reduce inequality. The plan divided the city into neighborhood units with amenities like schools and parks. It has since grown rapidly but maintained livability through stable growth and capitalizing on heritage, location, and strategic planning of institutions.
Local policies and strategies designed to deal with urban decline, decay or transformation are termed as urban renewal.

The document provides information about the planned city of Naya Raipur in Chhattisgarh, India. It was established as the new capital of Chhattisgarh to serve administrative functions and accommodate industry and trade growth in the region. The city is being developed over 8,013 hectares using a unique land procurement model that purchases land directly from farmers. The development plan divides the city into three layers and outlines transportation infrastructure, physical infrastructure, economic activities, and land use plans to develop Naya Raipur as a smart and sustainable city.
Sir Patrick Geddes was a pioneering Scottish town planner in the late 19th/early 20th century. Some of his key contributions included:
- Introducing the concepts of "region" and "conurbation" to urban planning.
- Arguing that rural development, urban planning, and city design require different approaches and shouldn't follow a single process.
- Developing the concept of the "valley section" to illustrate how a region influences and is influenced by its cities.
- Coining the term "conurbation" to describe the merging of cities, towns, and urban areas through population growth and expansion.
- Advocating a sequential approach to planning of regional survey, rural development
The document summarizes the formation and evolution of Gandhinagar, the capital city of Gujarat, India. It discusses how the city was planned as the new capital after the division of Bombay state into Gujarat and Maharashtra. Two architects designed Gandhinagar based on the concept of sectors and neighborhoods. The document outlines the city's climate, land use, transportation network, and other features like afforestation, public buildings, and residential areas.

Raj Rewal designed the Sheikh Sarai housing complex in New Delhi in 1970 as his first large-scale social housing project. The 550-unit complex was structured according to regulations to provide affordable self-housing and technical standards. Rewal drew inspiration from the dense, interconnected urban fabrics and narrow shaded streets of historical cities in Rajasthan like Jaisalmer and Udaipur. The complex features clusters of buildings organized around intimate courtyards and roof terraces, with segregated pedestrian and vehicular access. Materials and construction methods were chosen to be locally sourced and affordable.
The entire process of structural planning and design requires not only imagination and conceptual thinking but also sound knowledge of practical aspects, such as recent design codes and bye-laws, backed up by ample experience, institution and judgment.
It is emphasized that any structure to be constructed must satisfy the need efficiency for which it is intended and shall be durable for its desired life span. Thus, the design of any structure is categorizes into following two main types:-
1. Functional design
2. Structural design
Once the form of the structure is selected, the structural design process starts. Structural design is an art and science of understanding the behavior of structural members subjected to loads and designing them with economy and elegance to give a safe, serviceable and durable structure.
This document lists various landmarks and locations in Gandhinagar, Gujarat, India including Akshardham temple, Dinosaur Park, GH-4 Circle, Sachivalay building, Cambay Resort, Vidhansabha Garden, GIFT City, Jain Temple, GEB Powerhouse, National Institute of Co-operative Management, and Vidhansabha Sachivalay.

Jaipur was established in the 18th century by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II as the new capital of Amber. There were military and geographical reasons for changing the capital, as the old city of Amber was located on a congested hill. Jai Singh also wanted the new capital to be a strong political statement on par with Mughal cities, and serve as a thriving center of trade. The layout of Jaipur was carefully planned according to Hindu texts, with major roads intersecting in a grid pattern divided into nine blocks. The pink color of the city's buildings was likely intended to cut glare or imitate Mughal architecture, and welcome a British dignitary. Squares called chaupars

In human communication, explanations serve to increase understanding, overcome communication barriers, and build trust. They are, in most cases, dialogues. In computer science, AI explanations (“XAI”) map how an AI system expresses underlying logic, algorithmic processing, and data sources that make up its outputs. One-way communication.
How do we craft designs that "explain" concepts and respond to users’ intent? Can AI identify, elicit and apply relevant user contexts, to help us understand AI outputs? How do explanations become two-way?
We must create experiences with systems that will be required to respect user needs and dynamically explain logic and seek understanding. This is a significant challenge that, at its heart, needs UX leadership. The safety, trust, and understandability of systems we design hinge on the way we craft models for explanation.
