The project is designed to be multifunctional. 
LIQUID3 is also a bench, it has chargers for mobile phones, as well as a solar panel, thanks to which the bench has lighting during the night. 
The municipality of Stari grad has decided to support this project which directly contributes to improving the quality of life of our fellow citizens, public health and cleaner environment through using smart and innovative solutions 

[Image: attachment.php?aid=1122]
  • The microalgae in "LIQUID 3" replace two 10-year-old trees or 200 square meters of lawn. 
  • The system is the same because both trees and grass perform photosynthesis and bind carbon dioxide. 
  • The advantage of microalgae is that they are 10 to 50 times more efficient than trees. 
  • Our goal is not to replace forests, but to use this system to fill those urban pockets where there is no space for planting trees. 
  • In certain conditions of great pollution, trees cannot survive, while algae do not mind that pollution.

KAMBO]]> https://frontdesk.co.in/forum/showthread.php?tid=3553 Thu, 30 Mar 2023 10:57:57 +0000 Manish Jain]]> https://frontdesk.co.in/forum/showthread.php?tid=3553 Urban Settlement System-A Study Jaipur Metropolitan Region 2001 A.D. 
by B. KAMBO

1. Emerging Urban Pattern
This first part of the study attempts to explain the play of forces which have created circumstances for carrying out this exercise as well as to set the Goals, Scope and Geographical context of the exercise.
Emerging Urban Pattern in Rajasthan presents a picture familiar to that of any developing country. In absolute terms it is characterised by a high rate of growth- 2.74% per annum
compared to the national average of 2.44% per annum. In terms of distribution of urban sector, it is represented by few nodes of high degree of concentration along with a large number of nodes with low to very low degree of population concentration.
Out of this the State Capital may, due to its continuously increasing share, contain about 33% equivalent to about 2.8 million.
If the prevailing circumstances are any indicators of the future, the situation may become quite chaotic and even may go out of hand.
The limited availability of water as a resource is a special feature of the State of Rajasthan. In case of Jaipur the system is already under severe strain due to the extremely
limited availability of water sources base. Since according to a vailable understanding, there are no indicators of getting additional water sources bases, the situation in future with the addition of about 18 million people, may become even more hopeless.
If the real estate market is any indicator of the future-the competition, which is a result of excessive concentration, might force most of the people out of market and they may have to stay at far away distances bringing in social tensions, transport problems and the like.
The existing traffic chaos faced today by one million population of Jaipur would become much more acute with further reduced chances of solution.
The supply zone of various services approximately remaining the same, there may not be appreciable increase in the total supply, leading to unprecedent price rise.
The tendency of population to agglomerate in existing developed areas-while considerable increasing density of these areas, often works beyond the assigned capacities of infra
structure. Since the infrastructure is not something which can be upgraded incrementally, the whole system gets distorted. 

This tendency of agglomerating beyond the holding capacity
brings many other ills as well particularly deterioration in environmental quality. Old city of Jaipur is a superb example of such deterioration. If all these observations are put together, Urban Rajasthan may encounter a serious apprehension suggesting that if appropriate steps are not taken now, the future of Jaipur may be very dark with reduced chances of any remedy. Taking into account, all these serious apprehensions, it was thought that as a preventive action, serious efforts should be made to at least divert to some other settlements a part of the future urban population that might otherwise agglomerate at Jaipur. It is in this context that this study had been undertaken by a special team in the State Town Planning Department. Consequently the Objectives of this study that have emerged are the following : 
1. Assess the urban population of Rajasthan by 2001 A.D. 
2. Assess the urban situation that Jaipur might face by the end of this Century if present trends are allowed to continue. 
3 Assess the causes and sources of population agglomeration. 
4. Assess the urban size of Jaipur by 2001 A.D.
5. Assess the population that could be diverted to other settlements. 
6. Identify the settlements where the surplus population could be diverted. 
7. Assign the population and activities to the identified urban settlements
8. Evolve a Development Plan for the identified settlements. 
9. Work out the Financial, Institutional and Administrative implications of the Plan. 
10. Work out a methodology and Programme of implementation. 

As would be evident from the Objectives of this study, many other facts e.g. Land Use Plan, Agricultural and Industrial Sector Plan, Transport Plan, Rural Growth Centre Plan etc., generally associated with the preparation of the Regional Plans have been consciously left out. This study presents an exercise directed towards recasting of the upper tier urban settlement pattern. Looking to the task envisaged in the terms and conditions and availability of limited resources, it was decided to divide the project in two parts. The first part of the study presents a discussion on the For the remaining first seven items of the terms of reference.

Thesis by Salam, Abdul
Aligarh Muslim University

The first chapter is divided into two sections - 
(A) geographical profile 
(B) historical background. 
The first section deals with the geographical features of the Jaipur City, such as, its location and situation; topography- land, soil and its texture; dimensions of the city and its geographical limitations; weather and climate - temperature, rainfall,
winds, etc.; sources of water- rivers, lakes, ponds, etc.; agricultural conditions; flora and
fauna; and natural resources of the region. The second section analyses the historical
background of the region- particularly the political developments in the state of Jaipur
(Amber), from its origin in the 11* Century till the period of Sawai Jai Singh (first half of
the 18"^ Century), along with the origin and nomenclature of the State's ruling dynasty.

Second chapter is composed of two parts- 
(A) foundation of the Jaipur City 
(B) town planning of the City.
 The first part contains five sub-sections. 
1st factors responsible for the shift of the Kachhwaha Capital from Amber to Jaipur, has been discussed. 
2nd analyses the founding process of the Jaipur City.
3th deals with the grant of Imperial recognition to the new Capital City. 
4th  deals with the ruler's invitations to different socio-economic classes of the State to build their shops and houses in the newly founded city. 
5th evaluates the nomenclature of the localities. 

The second part consists of three subsections, besides discussing the concepts of town planning in its introductory part. 
1st  analyses the historical background of the Grid-Iron System of street
planning in India before Jaipur.
2nd on the basis of the physical survey and contemporary sources, explains and evaluates the town planning of the walled city of Jaipur. 
3rd discusses about the town planners of the city.

Third chapter is consisted of six sections. 
1st with the physical description of the city walls and its gateways.
2nd discusses general characteristics of the commercial buildings i.e. shops, and houses on the main roads or
the chief markets. 
3rd explains the features of the building within the Palace Complex, such as, entry gateways. Palace, Diwan-i-Am, Diwan-i-Khas, royal garden and temple, and other buildings within 'Sarhad' or the boundary of the Palace Complex.

4th deals with havelis or the mansions- their structure and location, and other buildings within the walled city. Fifth section deals with buildings in the outskirts of the  city, such as, 'Jal-Mahat' or the Water Palace, 'Ghat-ki-Guni' or the 'Purana-Ghat' and the Jaigarh and Nahargarh forts. The Mughal influence on building architecture of Jaipur is also discussed in this section. The last section informs about the building material used in the construction of buildings in the city.

Forth chapter defines foundation of the Jaipur City as a centre of scientific learning. It composed of four sections. 
1st analyses literary activities at Jaipur under the patronage of Sawai Jai Singh. 
2nd  evaluates the scientific - Astromathematical, pursuits of Jai Singh, his objectives, and approach and methodology
followed by him. In this section, special attention has been given to his mathematical contribution - particularly in the field of theorization^.  
3rd estimates the scientific work of Jai Singh, his achievements in the fields of Astronomy and Mathematics and his limitations. A comparative approach has been adopted in analyzing
his work. 
4th highlights the problem of institutionalization of the scientific knowledge in India, and various degenerative factors which led to the stagnation and decline of the scientific temper in India, especially after Sawai Jai Singh.

The fifth chapter entitled "emergence of the city as a commercial hub" is composed of six sections. 
1st  deals with the trade-routes connecting the Jaipur City from different trade centers, and the means of transportation in the first half of the 18th Century. 
2nd analyses the socio-economic structure of society, classification of different commercial groups and an estimation of the city's total population, in the mid-18"^ Century, has been estimated by two different methods. 
3rd  deals with the marketing system in the City- markets, their agencies and their organization, and items of transaction. 4th deals with the main industries of Jaipur, including the royal manufacturing departments. 
5th  elaborates the taxation system- nature and types of taxes and fines collected from different commercial classes. 
The last section estimates the state-policy towards various commercial groups and the role of state in promoting trade and commerce.

Having embraced the two planning imperatives, the first step in the plan preparation was identifying the urban nodes for focused growth and development within the district, which would be the counter-magnets to Jaipur City


While the 2001 census data is the most reliable available population data, the urban projections for the district have been taken at a g% increase from the projections extrapolated from the Census 200 data. This is based on the following factors: first, Rajasthan at 23.38%uhan population is still below the national urban rate of 23.38% second, Rajasthan's urban growth rate at 8% between grand 2001 was higher than the national average rate of a per year, thind the district includes laipur which is the capital city and the state's largest metropolitan city and therefore a migratory magnet. Therefore using past trends to calculate the expected urban increase in the district, would likely result in an under estimation i

Hence the MMDP 2025 projections accommodate an additional vs increase for urban growth within the district than the population projected by the trend analyses of the census data. while adopting the projected figures for rural growth without any increment. The expected urban population in the district by year 2005 is fig lakh going by past decadal trends. This master plan provides for an additional population buffer for urban growth of about so 10 lakhs


The MMDP 2025 recommends the focused development of a satellite urban areas in Jaipur District, around Jaipur city in order for such deterministic planning to succeed and the ta proposed satellite cities (PSC) to become urban counter-magnets to Jaipur, economic incentives and infrastructure will need to be prioritized towards the PSCS by the state government. If implemented, such an intervention will transform the expected urban sprawl to a planned urban strategy with improved economics, equity and environment. The data on the population, infrastructure and natural environment of every single village and town in the district has been mapped and mathematical values determined

Parameters for Selecting the Proposed Satellite Cities

The proposed satellite cities (PSC) for focused urban development have been selected on

the basis of six parameters:

1. Potential for economic sustainability 
2. Existing road networks
3. Existing and anticipated physical infrastructure
4-Strategic location for rural access

Swati Ramanathan

Applying the Planning Paradigm in  Jaipur MMDP 2025
Applying the planning principles of economy, equity, and environment requires the master plan to look beyond the footprint of the city alone. Development of the city's economic energy is co-dependent on the region. Similarly the environmental impact of the city is most significant on the immediate area surrounding the city and hence addressing the environmental challenges in a comprehensive way requires taking a regional view. Finally the equity principle in the planning paradigm also requires that planning is not confined to the city alone and addresses the needs of the residents in the larger region. Therefore the first planning imperative that emerges out of the principles of the planning paradigm is that the master planning process must take a regional perspective.

Plans are produced through institutional structures, the regional planning footprint must have a credible institutional logic. The JDA regional footprint of 3000 sq km is an arbitrary boundary without sound political and institutional coherence. The administrative unit of the district or the Metropolitan Area (as required by the Constitution of India) provides the appropriate regional planning footprint. For the city of Jaipur the appropriate region is therefore Jaipur District. This is the first plan imperative that emerges from the planning principles "taking a planning footprint of Jaipur District

Having chosen the district as the regional plan footprint, the question that remains is where urban growth should be planned for. The three choices in this instance are:
  1. that Jaipur remain the single dominant economic engine and urban magnet in the district, with its continued growth over-shadowing all other urban areas
  2. that Jaipur would grow but so would other existing towns in the district that would act as counter magnets to Jaipur
  3. that rather than focusing on existing satellite towns, brand new towns would be created in the district.
Each choice would result in distinctly different directions of development of the master plan. The first would result in an almost exclusively Jaipur-centric plan, the second in a more distributed urbanization plan, and the third in a somewhat experimental plan with a higher degree of political negotiation required for competing claims.
The distributed urbanization plan was decided upon at the visioning exercise with the state and city government leadership. The choice that emerged was to develop other strategic urban nodes in the district. A hub and spoke model was to be explored that could be a blend of choices 2 and 3. This is the second central planning imperative of the MMDP 2025-hub-and-spoke distributed urbanization
These two planning imperatives guide the overall strategy of the Jaipur Master Plan 2025: creating a plan for the district development, and encouraging distributed urban growth in a hub-and-spoke manner.
The application of these planning imperative creates a plan output that has positive political, social and economic impact, and begins to bridge the rural-urban divide]]> JAIPUR METROPOLITAN DISTRICT MASTER DEVELOPMENT PLAN, 2025

“15-minute city” model can approach a green and thriving neighbourhood meets the needs of its people and strengthens quality of life. 

Adopting a 15-minute city strategy means that everyone meet most of their everyday needs within a short walk or bike ride of their home. It creates a ‘human-scale’ city composed of vibrant, people-friendly, ‘complete’ neighbourhoods, connected by quality public transport and cycling infrastructure for the longer trips that residents want or need to make. 

It means decentralising city life and services and injecting more life into local areas across the city. The concept of the 15-minute city is in sharp contrast to urban-planning paradigms that have dominated the past century, which have seen residential areas separated from businesses, retail, industry and entertainment. 

Leading examples of 15-minute city concept are : 
  • Paris’ 15-Minute City, 
  • Barcelona’s Superblock, 
  • Portland’s Complete Neighbourhoods,
  • Melbourne’s 20 Minute Neighbourhoods, 
  • Buenos Aires’ Human-scale City 
  • Bogotá’s Barrios Vitales.

जमीन का आधार नंबर
आने वाले दिनों में आपके जमीन की 14 डिजिट का एक ULPIN नंबर यानी यूनिक नंबर जारी होगा. आप सामान्य बोलचाल की भाषा में इसे जमीन का आधार नंबर भी कह सकते हैं. इस नंबर के माध्यम से देश में कहीं भी जमीन खरीदने और बेचने में दिक्कत नहीं होगी और उसके लिए एक ही नंबर होगा. यदि उस जमीन का आगे चलकर बंटवारा भी होता है तो उस जमीन का आधार नंबर अलग-अलग हो जाएगा.
