I came across some beautiful blog articles today one of which was connected to reimagining and reinventing Chandigarh or the tricity. Its at http://henrikvaleur.wordpress.com/2012/02/19/chandigarh-an-indian-adventure/ but he seems to have been denied information on the 2 to 4 other towns which are now its neighbours namely Mohali, Panchkula, Chandimandir and Zirakpur. This Danish architect who has influenced the town planning of Shanghai talked about
1 elevated roads outside the sectors,
2 a more commonsensical approach to the transport solutions for the city in the form of buses and trams instead of the metro
3 urban farming,
4 inclusion of the poor to proper housing
5 atleast four specific indoor plants/shrubs per person for cleaning the air
6 cycle lanes
7 common car parking at only 4 exit/entrance points per sector with solar electric rickshaws for moving within the sector
8 emphasis on walking and being more eco friendly
and so on and so forth
I came across another blog on our flora kanak7.wordpress.com/. Until next time then
