About "Urban Planning & Urban Design for Sustainability" topic:
During the past decades, the concept of sustainable development has established itself as a new requirement for urban and metropolitan level public action, which involves the design and practice of urban and land-use planning.

So let us discuss about the innovative waste management Concepts, retrofitting the existing city, smart growth and new urbanism, transformation of professional practices and other tools used for assessing urban sustainable development policies.

Planning nitty-gritty processes is a need to tame Inflation. Suppose if one go to an Office to get some work done, if the person is forced to go back many time to make his task achieved instead of just ones and in short time, huge bills get run in the form of transportation, fuel, food etc;. These are not optimal consumption pattern rather wasted consumption, for a function that can be achieved in a short while taking long time to complete. These extra consumption require unnecessary infrastructure and resources like extra manpower, extra road and transportation facilities. The extra manpower again creates suboptimal consumption where demand for goods and services gets inflated leading to price hikes and inflation. Suppose only optimal consumption through mandated performances in short while can nullify the extraconsumption component in an economy and can lead to optimal consumption and no inflation since wasted consumption and over demand for this is avoided. Take for example, in...

Previously in 2009, HCC had signed a contract with the Gujarat government to grow a Water Front City at a sum investment of Rs.40,000crore. The assignment, to be based on Lavasa, would be...
