How Urban regeneration should happen in your city?

Though recently it was said that it was the best city in India for expats, but there is still long catching up for the city to do..

The city has become infact City of humps. Lot off power cut. No better roads. No better garbage collection & management. No better sewage. Total traffic. Peoples will not follow traffic rules. They will ride on food path. Traffic police just concentrating on collecting money. BMTC buses always stop beyond or after the busstop. Posters pasted every corner of the city. Even trees are not left, they occupied by PG for ladies posters. (As like ITPL road). Autowallas / Cabs never follow any kind of rules.

1. The Bangalore climate is changing, instead of cutting of trees in the name of development why not plant more to make city much cooler place to live.

2. Widening of roads, as the roads in this city are very narrow, as it did not expect so much development so soon.

3. Better connectivity interms of Metro and demolishing places where there is no proper road which has to be there in the first place.

4. More parks for people to spend time.

5. Rampant Regionalism, I guess its the case in every other city, it will be  very difficult for people who come from outside to understand things in Local language, where from bus to sign boards will be in local language, I don't know how the city is best for the expats, untill they learn the local language.


These are some points which Bangalore city needs to consider for a smooth living....so what about your city how Urban regeneration should happen...

Cities are getting overcrowded. There is expected to be increase of 10% increase in every city or town"s population.

Under these circumstances best option will be establishing sattelite cities in four corners of the cities so that it lead to deconjection.

Provision of sanitation, raods, commuting facilities, electrification can lead to diverion of inflow of population leading to better living.

In view of the fact that by 2015  55% population is expected to be urban planned towns, sattelite towns etc., should be developed with more urgency.

The migration of population will continue in search of greener pastures.The traffice congestion can not be stopped unless minimum facilities of every day need are available in their their own areas.The voulme of traffic is increasing becauseof  newly acquired prosperity and not by the migratory people.On the  contrary they are contributing to the development of the areas where they are dwelling.

Most developed cities in world have a comprehensive resouce management plan of there own. These plans are structured for next 20 to 30 years. The city is divided into different zones depending on the original business district and proximity to various activities

Infrastructure network which include public transport, stromwater & sanitation network are built in conjunction to the rsource management plans. Every five year plan is part of greater schemes of things. 

 Refer www.mercer.com/qualityofliving for things looked at while judging cities worldwide. Sydney is at 10th place in the list. Most of the developing Indian metros are comparable to Sydney. We should look at what measure they have taken .

Whle comparing working in various countries I have realised that we spend less time planning things and more time building it. While in all developed countries it is other way round.

There is no point getting annoyed about autos drivers and taxis for their irrational behaviour. We should work strengthening the framework and every thing will follow.

Knowledge & education is not a secret anymore only will to change things can make wonders.

madam these are the ways of earning.one whos strategy is strong he wins.i say a proper living needs a proper maintanance and a proper maintanance is in the hands of consumer.for example can u divide a chapati among 5 ,every one can if those agree for a distributtion and no one can't if they don't.

When I say sustainable development, it means that each and every individual has to follow the rules & norms that promote sustainable environment where nature & civilization can flourish together.

Agreed that cities have become overcrowded, more polluted, losing greenery, etc. ; all this is due to our negligence. We think that whatever good wee can get just collect it & let others die....who cares man??

So, change in attitude is required to see something really happening..

With building byelaws remaining in Paper and governments briinging in policies like Akrama-Sakrama to legealise illigal constructions, and when we do not think beyond providing 12m-18 m Roads and allow foot paths to be used as show cases of shopkeepers and allow more cars and inadequate and bad public transport how can we think of urban redevelopment. It is another scheme to allow the rich to snach a portion of tax payers money.
