4. Growth of Town
4
 Town is dynamic
 Causes of Growth
 Population
 Enhancement of Transportation facilities
 Waterways, Airways
 Vertical development – High Rise
 Urban life opportunities
 Amenities of Leisure
 Convenience
 Recreation
 Employment
 Career
 Education
 Research

5. Stages in Growth of Town
5
 Patrick Geddes
 Primary: Agriculture necessity
 Secondary: Centre of exchange of Money (Marketing Town)
 Tertiary: Residential, Educational, Recreational
 Lewis Mumford
1. Eopolis: Single unit (agri)
2. Polis: Self contained (commerce, Industry)
3. Metropolis: (Metro)- High density, all facility
4. Magapolis: Over grown (Initial Collapse)
5. Tyrannpolis: Further decay in trade, commerce, power
6. Necropolis: (Necrosis) – Complete breakdown, famine, dieses

6. Growth of Town
6
 Growth classified as
 According to Origin
 Natural
 Concentric Spread
 Satellite Town
 Ribbon Development
 Scattered Growth
 Planned
 According to Direction
 Horizontal & Vertical

7. Natural Growth- Concentric Spread
7
 Improper Housing
 Accidents

8. Natural Growth- Satellite Towns
8
 A satellite town or
satellite city is a concept
in urban planning that
refers essentially to
miniature metropolitan
areas on the fringe of
larger ones
 Eg. Navi Mumbai,
New Delhi

9. Characteristics of Satellite Towns
9
Satellite cities are small or medium-sized cities
near a large metropolis, that:
 Predate on metropolis' suburban expansion
 Are at least partially independent from that
metropolis’ economically and socially
 Are physically separated from the metropolis
by rural territory or by a major geographic
barrier
 Satellite cities should have their own
independent urbanized area, or equivalent
 Have their own bedroom communities
(Commuter Town)
 Have a traditional downtown surrounded by
traditional "inner city" neighbourhoods
 May or may not be counted as part of the
large metropolis' combined statistical area

10. Summary of Satellite Towns

11. Natural Growth- Ribbon Development
11
Our examples-Jaysingpur, Sangli – Miraj,
IRC-SP-15-1996 Ribbon Development Along Highways
give specification to ribbon development in India

12. Natural Growth- Ribbon Development
12
Characteristics
 In the beginning this growth is very small along the road side but
soon it occupies whole of the area.
 It happens especially in newly developing towns where rule and
zoning regulations have not been strictly enforced.
 Ribbon development has become a regular feature where we find
overcrowding of all types of buildings such as schools, factories,
petrol pumps etc.
 This type of development is more dangerous from traffic point of
view.

13. Natural Growth- Ribbon Development
13
Disadvantages
 Everybody wants to take advantage of the frontage of main road.
 The interior is therefor left underdeveloped, causing wastage of
valuable land.
 Overcrowding on the roadside. Streets become narrow and give rise
to accidents.
 All types of buildings creep in at the frontage, such as schools,
factories, bus stops, petrol pumps, theatres, commercial complexes
etc. with no regard to zoning regulations.
 All these affect health conditions of the residents.
 The town spreads far and wide which is costly to maintain.
 Future improvements become very costly.
 Ribbon development is the inverse of planning and is not desirable.
Hence it is necessary to nip it in the bud or check its
development, at it’s early stage.
