Asia’s megacities with their populations of 10 or more million, appear to be centres of chaos, but we will look at how the need to enjoy and cope with life in them, makes them centres for some of the most creative and unique Asian innovations.
From time-saving and feature-crazy digital applications and platforms that allow Asian consumers to squeeze in as many activities, experiences, interactions and tasks as possible into every moment (and not miss out on anything.)
To concepts and solutions that help them improve or solve the frustrations and dangers of overcrowded living (transport and traffic jams, lack of living space and greenery, as well as pollution and food safety and health issues).
We take a look at examples from every corner of the region (not just China and India, but also South East Asia, Nepal, Pakistan) and how they're trying to answer their population's changing needs.

The future of personal mobility: the internet of things and the rise of the a...Michael Shanks
The document discusses the future of personal mobility and autonomous vehicles. It describes programs and researchers at Stanford University working in this area, including the Hasso Plattner Institute of Design (d.school) and the Revs program at the Center for Automotive Research at Stanford (CARS). The document also shares a hypothetical story about a man's morning commute by autonomous car, and reflects on issues of design, human-centered design, and the growing role of design thinking.
The document discusses the importance of designing cities for people rather than cars. It argues that cities should prioritize public pedestrian spaces and the quality of life of residents over private vehicle infrastructure. Specifically, it advocates that cities reserve half of their streets for exclusive pedestrian and bicycle use to make urban living more humane and child-friendly. The document also emphasizes that high-quality public spaces are essential for social justice, civic life, tourism, and attracting skilled workers to cities.

The document discusses the issue of overcrowded classrooms in Moroccan high schools. It defines a large class as having too many students for the available resources and teacher attention. The author notes that their classes regularly exceed 40 students, with some over 50. Large class sizes lead to undesirable effects like noise, lack of concentration, cheating and not enough time for students to speak. Solutions proposed include creating new schools to reduce overcrowding and hiring more teachers so class sizes can be smaller, with an ideal size of 20-25 students. The quality of education suffers when classes are overcrowded and it is difficult for teachers to properly cover the material and meet student needs.
Personal space zones include the intimate distance zone from direct contact to 2 feet for partners, the personal distance zone from 2 to 5 feet for friends and family, the social distance zone from 5 to 10 feet for strangers and acquaintances like clerks, and the public distance zone of more than 12 feet for situations like public speaking. The appropriate distance between people depends on the personal relationship, status, gender, and culture of those involved.
This slide show is in conjunction with my design portfolio. This showcases my Thesis project as a cumulative example of the variation in acquired skills, and practices.
This document discusses cross-cultural communication and dealing with cultural conflicts in the workplace. It addresses how culture shapes our identities and how misunderstandings can arise from differing cultural norms between people. The document provides strategies for reducing uncertainty when communicating with strangers from different cultures, such as passively observing, actively seeking information, or directly interacting with them. It also discusses how to resolve conflicts that arise from cultural differences and ways to prevent discrimination in the workplace.
This document discusses personal space in different countries. It begins by defining personal space as the region surrounding each person that, if entered without consent, can cause discomfort. The presentation then covers personal space norms in Slovenia, Spain, France, and Greece. In Slovenia, personal space is quite large, while in Spain space is smaller and people are more physically affectionate. France is also more intimate with greetings like kissing but then more distance is kept. Greece uses more body language and stands closer, though workplace space is more medium distance. Marketing should consider these cultural norms around personal space.
Personal space is an invisible bubble that surrounds a person and when others enter this space it can make one uncomfortable. There are four zones of personal space defined as intimate, personal, social, and public with intimate being the closest and public being the farthest. Edward T. Hall studied how people use space behaviorally known as proxemics.
The document discusses improving safety, accessibility, and sustainability in Delhi, India. It notes that Delhi currently has high crime rates, especially for women, and unsafe streets. It proposes removing boundary walls, allowing street vendors, and making parks more usable and watched to improve safety. It also recommends shifting from private to public transit by improving pedestrian infrastructure, expanding the metro and bus networks, and encouraging transit-oriented development near stations. The overall goal is to make Delhi a more livable, green, and equitable city.
The document envisions cities of the future to be smart, sustainable, and inclusive. Key aspects include green, energy-efficient architecture; sensor-based infrastructure management; autonomous transportation options; and innovative urban planning like Medellin's libraries and cable cars that connect communities and promote social development. The goal is for cities to use technology to manage resources efficiently while enhancing quality of life for all residents.
Cities are being named and renamed, for demanding/commanding new culture, pattern of growth for overcoming prevailing urban ills. Their journey includes moving from planned cities, to becoming garden cities, linear cities, vertical cities, smart cities, compact cities to smart cities. Cities, as integral part of human history and as most complex creation of humanity, are always evolving and devolving, on the move and never finite. Cities distinguished by agglomeration/ concentration of human beings/activities, remain embodiment of dichotomy and contradictions. Cities represent disorder and chaos; where poverty/prosperity rub shoulders; where beauty/ugliness dot the urban canvas; where planned / unplanned development competes and where skyscrapers/slums/shanties rub shoulders. Known as creators of wealth and generators of waste, promoter of global economic growth and productivity, cities have also emerged as breeding grounds of poverty, exclusion, pollution and environmental degradation. Considering the prevailing contradictions, and critical role/importance; cities need to be made Humane and harmonious. Processes and principles that could be leverage for making cities harmonious need to include identifying issues and roadblocks largely responsible for making urban growth both unplanned, haphazard, irrational and sub-standard besides evolving strategies and options for making the urban growth rational for ushering a new ersa of Harmonious urbanization in India
This document summarizes Mohammed Burhan Patel's urban design thesis from the College of Architecture. The thesis examines activating passive urban spaces through supporting activities. It discusses parameters that cause absence of social activity, including identifying the type of social activities needed to create a sense of belonging. Case studies of spaces in San Francisco, Kansas City, Manchester, and India are presented that activated spaces through activities, linkages, and flexibility. The thesis aims to devise mechanisms to activate spaces undergoing gentrification by studying what causes passivity and how to induce social connectivity through anchor activities.

The document discusses visions for future cities, which are described as smart cities that use digital technologies to make infrastructure like transportation and utilities more efficient. Key aspects of smart cities discussed include self-driving electric cars to reduce accidents, high-speed underground public transit systems, more efficient waste management through pneumatic tubes, vertical farming to sustainably grow food, and smart homes connected by the internet of things. The vision is for cities to have lower emissions and costs while providing safer, more convenient living through innovative applications of technology.
The document discusses the concept of transit-oriented development (TOD) for Delhi and its potential to help achieve the goals of the Delhi Master Plan 2021. It outlines the principles of TOD, including high density, mixed-use development within walking distance of public transit with pedestrian-oriented design. TOD could help Delhi meet targets for modal split, shelter, and implementation by locating housing and jobs near transit to reduce car dependence and make transit more viable. A work program is proposed involving TOD pilot projects and combined transportation-land use modeling to help guide TOD policy and vision.
The document summarizes the Sino-Singapore Tianjin Eco-City project in China. It is a 30 square kilometer collaboration between China and Singapore to create a model eco-city. Some key points:
1) The eco-city aims to be more sustainable than typical Chinese cities by focusing on compact, walkable communities and maximizing energy efficiency and renewable energy while keeping costs low enough to replicate across China.
2) While critics argue its 20% renewable energy target is too low, project leaders counter that the scale of the development with 350,000 residents requires more modest goals to be affordable and replicable.
3) Sustainable design features include an extensive green space network to encourage walking
The document discusses the history and definition of smart cities. It was first used in the 1990s to refer to using information and communication technologies to modernize urban infrastructure. In the 2000s, the concept evolved to emphasize using technology to improve quality of life and make cities more sustainable, efficient and livable. A smart city uses technology to collect and share data across domains like transportation, utilities, healthcare and education to improve services for citizens in a coordinated manner.

This document discusses the massive change towards more human-centered cities. It notes that by 2050, 75% of the world's population will live in cities, with Asia, Africa, and Latin America seeing the largest urban growth. This urbanization will require rethinking how people move around cities in a sustainable way. The document advocates for shared, multimodal transportation solutions like public transit, bikesharing, and mobility as a service rather than personal car ownership. It also calls for more citizen involvement in city planning and co-creation of transportation services to build resilient, accessible, and sustainable cities.
The document envisions a future city that is ecological, smart, comfortable, innovative, and efficient. Key aspects include education occurring in specialized "education ghettos"; citizens engaged in governance through advanced online platforms; recreational areas combining technology and nature preservation; cultural heritage preserved through automated monitoring systems; public transport using non-contact electromagnetic rail; buildings using new synthetic materials; waste being over 99% recyclable; water treatment allowing complete reuse; energy from solar, wind, and water; wireless data transfer and sensor networks for monitoring infrastructure. Production and warehouses exist outside cities, and financial institutions are largely virtual.
This document provides a vision for the city of Trivandrum, India in 2035. It discusses Trivandrum's potential as an emerging city and hub for IT and tourism. It also outlines some of the city's current problems with unplanned development like traffic and pollution. The design proposal aims to address these issues through an eco-friendly, self-contained urban habitat that incorporates emerging technologies like sky bus metro systems, gravity powered transport, and solar roadways to create a sustainable city model. The proposal focuses on transportation, mixed use planning, heritage preservation, clean energy, water supply, and waste management.

Smart cities of the future will utilize sensors, networks, and data analysis to monitor resources and services in real-time, helping with short-term decision making and anticipating future needs. Private and public sectors can then adapt cities towards economic, social, or environmental goals. Early examples include IBM's work in Zhenjiang, China using data to manage transportation and reduce traffic and emissions. The future city will be smarter, greener, and more connected through innovations like those seen in Songdo, South Korea which automatically manages waste and uses sensors to provide real-time transit updates. Cities will also undergo "greenification" through renewable energy, eco-friendly design, and reimagining transportation infrastructure to be more sustainable.
Smart cities use information and communication technologies to efficiently manage resources and improve services. There are typically three generations of smart cities - technology driven, technology enabled, and citizen co-creation. Key elements include economic development, infrastructure, transportation, energy efficiency, and social services. Smart cities collect data, analyze it, communicate information, and take action. Common smart city technologies are the internet of things, APIs, AI, cloud computing, and machine learning. While smart cities provide benefits like improved decision making and quality of life, they also face challenges of cost, connectivity, data security, and technological gaps between smart and non-smart cities.
The document discusses sustainable mobility and urban transport. It focuses on organizing mobility in a way that does not negatively impact future generations' access to resources or welfare. Specifically, it addresses issues like road traffic congestion, pollution, injuries from accidents. It advocates designing transport infrastructure that allocates space equitably for all road users, with a focus on people rather than vehicles. This includes separate pedestrian and bicycle routes, roundabouts at intersections, and lower speed limits to improve safety.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE ANALYSIS OF WALKABILITY OF INDIAN STREET: A CASE...civejjour
Walkability became one of the important aspects of new urbanism. Increase in the numbers of the vehicle on the road creating a havoc situation for society. It is also polluting our environment. Enhancing walkability wit in a city or in a neighborhood became a challenge for the city developer. There is no proper way established by which we can identified the street those need improvement in the street and we have also not established the parameter by which walkability can be improved in an area. In this paper parameter has been identified which can help in improving the walkability of Indian street. Both qualitative and quantitative parameters have been listed down and all are converted into numerical value so we can quantify the quality of walkability in an area for the calculation of the walkability in existing scenario. By the help of this method we can improve walkability of any area.

August 2013 saw the Korean Advanced Institute of Science and Technology unveil the Armadillo-T: a concept electric car that can fold itself in half. Created to save parking space in traffic-congested cities, the compact two-seater can ‘tuck’ part of the rear structure away during parking, occupying one-third of a regular spot. With a top speed of 60 kilometers per hour, the lithium-powered Armadillo-T can be charged in under ten minutes. Drivers can also operate and fold their cars remotely via mobile app.
