Elements Related to Sustainability of Urban Form: Study of an Indian City, Thane (Maharashtra, India)
Over the last few decades, there has been a rapid increase in the rate of urbanization worldwide. The coming decades will further add changes to the size and spatial distribution of the global population. The rate of urbanization in India is also high. By 2030, it is expected that 40.76% of India’s total population would reside in urban areas, as per a survey by the United Nations ‘State of the World Population Report’ in 2007. To cope with the enormous problems that have emerged because of swift urban growth, it has become imperative to formulate strategies for sustainable urban development. It is acknowledged that the shape, size, and density of an urban area have a large role in achieving sustainability of urban form. Urban form is the arrangement of various elements that repeat and can help to achieve sustainability of cities by optimizing itself and minimizing sprawling. This paper aims to study ways to understand the intrinsic complexity in urban forms and explore different elements related to sustainability of urban form, taking the example of a typical Indian city. It suggests interventions to achieve more sustainable urban forms.
