RE: How Does a Village Become a City?

in #urbanism7 years ago

Thanks for sharing @voronoi. I'm a town planner by qualification and my husband manages the Strategic and Landuse planning division at our local council so this was extremely interesting Living in a western and developed nation we have more often than not missed the opportunity to find the balance between development, nature and culture. Its as if our society on a whole has lost that connection. (Part of the reason we prefer travelling to more underdeveloped countries - People are so much more connected...with place and purpose) Finding the balance is a battle my husband faces on a daily basis and often the outcomes are driven by politics, business and money which can be disheartening. Will be following along with interest to see how this project progresses.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful words. I couldn't agree more, town planning should be far more honest to the environment and people surrounding it. I'd like to think that places like Naya Raipur are an opportunity to explore that hidden potential and embrace a different kind of contemporary city. Again thank you @shellyduncan :)
