1. INTRODUCTION:

1.1 Background:
Increasing rates of urbanization is the one factor that is changing the world more
dramatically than we have ever known. More than 54% of world population of
the world’s population residing in urban areas in 2014. In 1950, 30% of the
world’s population was urban, and by 2050, 66% of the world’s population is
projected to be urban. (United Nation, 2014) Urbanization in India began to
accelerate after independence, due to the country's adoption of a mixed
economy and globalization policy, towns and Cities are growing at an alarming
rate, with an increasing trend of urbanization along with greater demand for
urban services creating a gap between the demand and supply which is
widening decade to decade. Similarly the demand for urban land and
infrastructure, which are supplied through different public and private service
providers are becoming shortage and also attained problems of complex
dimensions which is common problem in almost all cities of India. According to
the census 1901 population residing in urban areas in India was 17.97 % where
as in 2011 census 31.16 % of country's population is reside in urban areas and
according to a survey by UN State of the World Population report in 2007, by
2030, 40.76% of country's population is expected to reside in urban areas. It is
well known that the cities of India is growing with tremendous rate so there is a
need of a proper planning which is required to accommodate the urban growth
and development through urban planning and development authority with
comprehensive approach without damaging the natural environment and
establish harmony by providing healthy life and healthy environment. (Pankaja,
2015)

1.1.1 Green city:

Green City does not have a universal definition and therefore will mean many
different things to different people. Although there is no uniform definition of

“Green City,” several central themes help shape and define what a Green City
is. Such themes include energy efficiency (including built form) and reducing
reliance on nonrenewable energy sources, sustainable and low-carbon
transportation systems, green and resilient infrastructure, waste reduction and
management, increased green areas, water cycle management, and integrated
planning. Maintaining our natural environment not only provides us with
amenity and recreational benefits but many of nature’s functions and services
support our own existence. Green Cities minimize environmental impact and
maximize opportunities to improve and support the natural environment. Green
Cities are energy efficient and reduce reliance on nonrenewable energy sources;
actively encourage waste reduction and management; include green and resilient
infrastructure, low-carbon transport, and water cycle management; and deliver
improved quality of life and more attractive centers for people to live and work,
which indirectly supports our economic viability. (Bank, 2015)

In short green cities concepts talks about the eco-friendly and user friendly
cities which can be can be achieved by making a city that is environmentally
sustainable; growth is compact, technically smart and ecologically and
economically developed.

Cities are dynamic and complex, In order to make a city green, it should have
following characteristics:

 Ambitious, well defined goals, and regular reporting of progress

 Electricity generation using renewable resources and strict building codes
favoring green technology
 City acceptance to public transportation
 Efforts and policies to cut waste, reduce water consumption
 Access to affordable, healthy food encourage knowledge-based, creative
economies

 Encourage grass roots efforts to engage citizens.

 A city with high residential densities and better connectivity with its work
places.

1.2 Need for study:

Jaipur city is one of the finest planned cities in India. It is the planned in year
1727 and is sustained till date. It is not only the capital of Rajasthan but also one
of the most demanded metropolitan in the country. It is the city of more than 66
lakhs of people residing in the area of 11143.00 sq kms.

The city is expanding rapidly on one end there is high in-migration trends and
high urban sprawl is experienced in the city while on the other hand there is
lack of infrastructure management. Hence, the back log of the city is piling on
and on and the holding capacity of the city is decreasing resulting in improper
infrastructure and development of the city. The settlements along the periphery
of the city are increasing without proper planning and facilities. This leads to
the need of urban expansion of the city in planned way, as city is suffering with:

 Insufficient land, polluted air, water and land.

 Increase in urban sprawl resulting in increasing pressure on transportation and
then in the energy resources.
 Increased pressure on public utilities and amenities due to increase in
migration.

Showing a tremendous increase in urbanization in Jaipur city which creates

pressure on available natural resource and physical infrastructure to ease out this
unlikely pressure and to prevent city from further degradation a planned urban
growth is required implementing best planning techniques.

The Jaipur Master Plan 2025, has proposed an area as the Specific Development
Area and called as New Jaipur Scheme. The New Jaipur Scheme is envisaged
with area of 37 sq kms. The area is further divided as:
 Heritage city on the south of Agra Road with area of 13 sq. kms.
 Green city on the north of Agra road with area of 24 sq. kms.

1.3 Area of study:

Jaipur also known as Pink city is the capital of Rajasthan state in India was
founded in 18 November 1727 by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II. Jaipur was the
first planned city of its time having geographical area of 11143.00 Sq. Km
accommodating 66 lakh people. The Study area is located on the north of Agra
Road with very minimal settlements. The area comes under the zone 13A of
Jaipur Development Authority and this area is a medium density zone, that is
51-100 ppa. The study area covers an area of about 24 sq. km and is connected
by Major Highways road 11A with Jaipur (48 km), nearest major railway
station is Jaipur.

1.4 Aim of study:

The aim of this master’s thesis is to prepare land-Use plan and detail
infrastructure facilities in the delineated study area on the concepts of
sustainability.

1.5 Objective of study:

 To study the existing urban characteristics of Jaipur city and the delineated
study area.
 To study the factor that leads to the urban growth.
 To study the principle, policy and concept of green infrastructure.
 To evolve proposals and suggest recommendations for land-Use plan in the
context of green city.

1.6 Scope of work:

 The scope of work is primarily oriented towards providing proposals for
physical infrastructure to facilitate the creation of a comprehensive landuse
plan in order to holistic and sustainable development.
 Analyzing method that focuses majorly on the conservation and management
of urban land to make a city green.
 Provide community facilities and eco-friendly environment in urban context
to mitigate massive urban expansion of Jaipur city.
 The study will develop how the green city should be look alike and also helps
the competent authority to plan a green city.

1.7 Limitation:
This thesis is confined to detailing of infrastructure and land uses for the
earmarked study area and No, detailed layout of housing unit is provided, and
the drawing will be at land use level depicting the area of different land-Use,
road network system and how it is connected to present system. The study will
not discuss the financial aspect of planning. The major part of work is based on
