2. Future Cities: Ensuring world class civic
amenities in urban India
• INDIA,7th largest country in the world and is also one of
fastest growing countries in terms of GDP. We need more
cities than the developed METEROPOLITIAN cities to
improve or to accelerate our financial growth. These cities are
future of our nation. But to develop this cities we have to
resolve a lots of problem
India with other nations are now going through a turbulent
time. One of the solutions to out of this tricky time is the
development through the ‘future cities’
• Our team have put forward you some of the problems which
may come up in these ‘future cities’ and also the solutions for
it
3. PROBLEMS
Diagnosis : a growing social
polarisation
• Indian cities have traditionally
been characterized by less
segregation and less social and
spatial. This has been
especially true for cities in
countries with strong welfare
systems. However, there are
many signs that polarization
and segregation are increasing.
The economic crisis has further
amplified the effects of
globalization.
No Competition
• There is not much healthy
competition between Indian
cities.
• These cities are interconnected
or they cant stand alone. So
whenever there is any crisis
these cities will cumulatively
fall down
4. Segregation and Housing
• Good housing conditions are
key to making a city and its
agglomeration attractive and
liveable. However, in many
cities, spatial segregation
processes – as an effect of
social polarisation – make it
increasingly difficult for people
with low incomes or from
marginalised groups to find
decent housing at affordable
prices.
Distribution Of Wealth
• The poorest parts of the
population have been left
behind or been put at risk of
lagging because of policies
designed to increase the
attractiveness of cities
• Worst Problem affected for the
poorest parts will be energy
poverty ; with rising energy
prices, those most in need of
energy efficiency investments
are those that cannot afford
them or cannot benefit from
tax incentives.
5. Cost Of Living
• In these future cities cost of
living will be high
• the rising cost of housing
make it increasingly difficult for
a number of people to find
decent or affordable housing
where they grew up.
• People coming from other part
of the countries to settle in the
cities will lso faces the same
difficulties
Social Dropouts
• Unemployment can cause a
great discomfort in the society.
Cases has been reported that
unemployed youths has
resulted in most of the urban
violence.
• People doesn’t want to live in
this terrifying society and
drops out from the city.
• This can cause a huge
economic problems and social
problems
6. Lack Of Planning
• Problems in most of the cities
is caused by lack of planning
• The decision makers have high
role in the planning of a city
• To protect their interest
planning of acity is done.
• This in turn reduces the total
potential of the city
Depletion of natural resources
• Urban sprawl
Increased cost of living of urban
centres drives people to look for
more affordable housing further
from the city centre, while the
middle and upper classes stay in
the core city, and vice versa,
with wealthy social classes
leaving poor and run-down city
centres. Urban sprawl is also
related to the more extreme
cases of spatial segregation
7. SOLUTIONS
Holistic,Integratedmodel of Sustainable urban development
• To develop a green, healthy and
attractive city, a holistic
approach to environmental and
energy-related issues needs to
be adopted. Pollution and
unsustainable use of natural
resources need to be reduced,
and mobility has to be made
sustainable, inclusive and
healthy
• Cities also have to develop in
harmony with their surrounding
regions and play their part as
motors of regional growth
• Cities have to move towards a
more holistic model of
sustainable city development, in
which they overcome seemingly
conflicting and contradictory
objectives.
8. From Government to Governance
• It is clear that different levels of
fixed government structures alone
are not well suited to addressing
the future challenges in a
sustainable way. Adapting
government structures to better
respond to challenges is a futile
task : not only would the dynamic
nature of challenges demand a
constant re-adaptation, but their
multi-dimensional nature requires
responses at different scales.
Instead, different government
levels will have to play different
roles in a multi-scalar governance
system.
Local community-led development
approaches
• Stimulating development from
within by external support,
facilitating innovative local
solutions. Unlike local authority-led
initiatives, they build on a stronger
role, commitment and engagement
of the community itself and are not
necessarily confined within
administrative borders. As such
they are able to also take on wider
and more long-term economic
development strategies.
9. Scope Of Local Government Action
• Housing is addressed through a
variety of mechanisms ranging
from subsidized credit to
providing accommodations, to
resettling populations living in
environmentally hazardous
zones, to developing serviced
sites and housing for lower
income groups.
• The importance placed on
living conditions by slum
dwellers can be gauged from
the speed at which home
improvements are initiated
after security of occupancy is
granted and settlements
regularized. All wage earners
in the household contribute
cash, building materials and
supplies, labor, and furnishings.
10. CONCLUSION
Solutions given by our team has been done successfully in
European countries. European nations has shifted there focus of
development from major cities to growing cities.
They also encountered same difficulties or problems mentioned
above.
The building of the future city should start by local government
addressing the main issues like water management, maintenance
of roads ,food management and energy management.
They should also look that cost of living should not exceed the limit
and also check segregation.
