 OPEN SPACES

 GHMC has taken on thick tree plantations and developed them into tree parks after discovering about 500 open
areas. Other venues, such as play fields and community halls, have adopted this practice by separating the activity
area.
 To improve the ecology, tree parks are being developed, primarily in colonies, and saplings are being planted.
Unproductive trees, plants, and bushes are being removed from unmaintained areas in order to plant seedlings.
 Parks and Lakes Hyderabad features a number of lakes and parks that give breathing space for residents and
contribute to the preservation of the city's quality of life. The most well-known are Osmansagar and Himayatsagar.

 CONNECTIVITY -
• To keep its inhabitants healthy and happy, a city must be designed that is
harmonious, comfortable, and sustainable all at the same time. On so
many levels, such cities greatly increase the quality of life and minimize
the stress associated with modern settings.
• Hyderabad is a city that excels in a variety of areas. Despite its humble
origins, the city has evolved and responded instinctively to the demands
of its residents throughout time, and it is now genuinely prospering.
• It has been making headlines for its pace and extent of development and
the use of a connected approach to tackle all the problems associated
with living in cities.

 The city has a master plan which involves enhancing navigation

through the city by improving traffic management and transportation
systems via the development of flyovers (the Outer Ring Road Project)
and metro and easing everything related to commute to provide
unmatched mobility to its residents. Signal free roads to the airport
allow for seamless connectivity to international destinations
8
 CONNECTIVITY -
Some of the most recent initiatives that fall in line with these plans include:

 Responding to the traffic problems that are cropping up in the city, the
Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation planned on building a 3-km
long flyover which solves traffic congestion at junction areas of the city,
while also mitigating traffic from the dense corridor in the western part
of the city.
 It is also looking at better sewerage for a clean and healthy environment;
improving the green cover; and incorporating other civic amenities such
as streetlights and pavements to make the city a lot safer.
 The government also added seven new Municipal Corporations along
with the six that are existing. This is allowing for orderly development of
urban areas and improving the overall quality of life by eliminating
current inequalities in terms of accessibility to city services.

In early 2019, the government had initiated a plan to zone of areas for
development of specific facilities – such as a health city, one for education,
another for sports, the third for cinema, and so on and so forth. These
arrangements are expected to create sustainable spaces that are demarcated
well and ease how businesses operate

MUMBAI OPEN AND
URBAN SPACES
INTRODUCTION

 Open spaces in an urban fabric become much

needed spaces of leisure, interaction and in
many cases, everyday transactions. “Open
space is not only for recreation and
conservation of environmental and cultural
values, it is the foundation of urban livability”.
 Mumbai due to its geography and history offers
a range of open spaces which are used in a
very, very intense manner. While the seafronts,
mangroves, designated national parks and
historic maidens are the more visible open and
green spaces, there is a plethora of smaller
open spaces that shape the character of the
city. These range from spaces of leisure to
spaces of requirement.
