Eed 06

The document discusses sustainable urban planning and design principles like New Urbanism. It focuses on developing sustainable settlements through urban fabric analysis, site planning, reducing vehicular dependency, and enhancing outdoor activity. The goals are to connect settlements with nature, ensure equity for all, and apply smart growth principles from 1996 like mixed-use development, walkable neighborhoods, and multimodal transportation. The key message is that sustainable cities can learn from villages by applying similar planning concepts.

New Urbanism
New Urbanism is an urban design movement which promotes
walkable neighborhoods containing a range of housing and job
types. It arose in the United States in the early 1980s, and has
gradually reformed many aspects of real estate development,
urban planning, and municipal land-use strategies.
 TOD
 Traditional Neighbourhood Design
 Smart growth
 Satelite city
 Urban Growth center

Principals
• Promotes the creation and restoration of diverse,
walk able, compact, vibrant, mixed-use
communities….
• in a more integrated fashion…
• transit rather than highways…
• Pedestrian oriented

Ensure Equity for all
Equal facility for all the corner which should be justified

It’s specially for environmental equity


Ensure Equity for all
Equal facility for all the corner which should be justified
Reduce Vehicular Dependency
Define the size and density of the settlement and reduce energy consumption

It’s not only traffic congestion!!!


Enhance Outdoor Activity
reduce energy consumption and ensure health benefit for all the age
Connect with Nature
As thermal mass and conserve the ecology
Smart Growth Principals of 1996

EPA’s 10 guidelines for smart growth are - 1996:
