A Real Drama...
He decided to rebuilding his
ancestral house. But his plans
have been rejected.

He went to approach the

Municipal Commissioner
and said that, my plans
have been rejected because
I will have to leave front and
rear open spaces in my site.
Municipal Commissioner...
I can very well understand your difficulties
gentle man. But what can the Town
Planning Officer do when the rules say so?
Anyway please give your request in
writing. I will look into it.

Everyday such dramas with various

combinations happens in every
Municipality / Corporation.
Our urban settlements
•The cancerous growth
rapidly growing.
•If they were not checked
and treated in time, the
social and economic life will
be paralysed and free
physical movement in them
will become impossible.
•If it is not possible to find
moral and material
resources to make them
fully recover, at least it
should be possible them
from further deterioration.
Sayings of Great Thinkers
Le Corbusier – A Town is a tool.
Towns no longer fulfil this function.
They are ineffectual. They used
upon bodies, they thwart our souls.
The lack of order to be found every
where in them offends us.
•Their degradation wounds ours self esteem and
humaliates our sense of dignity.
•They are not revolutionized by making revolution.
•The real revolution lies in the solution of existing
problems
Sayings of Great Thinkers
Eliel – Saarien: Tell me who your
friends are and I will tell you what you
are. It is an old truth and if this truth be
carried further. The proverb could be
interpreted thus Show me your city and I
will tell you what are the cultural aims of
its population.
Frank Lloyd Wright: Expect to an
ignoramus or intellectualist, nothing
imitative can equal that which is
imitated. Instead of imitating effects,
search for the principle which made
them original and own your own effects.
