Sustainable Infrastructures (Materials & Management)—Planning for Sustainable Infrastructure in Old Town, Bhubaneswar
Bhubaneswar, being the first smart city of India has already witnessed the initial application of the smart mobility methods in its infrastructure by the transition of traditional transportation techniques to a sustainable and digitally enhanced system. The paper primarily includes an extensive study of important criteria such as the pedestrian facilities, safety, accessibility and aesthetic appearance [3]. The survey is based on the principles of H. Krambeck’s ‘Global Walkability index’ that was developed for the World Bank. The methodology gives information to several key parameters and identifies the core areas for improvement. The study aims to suggest the walkability values, principles of inclusive and smart mobility and a qualitative analysis of the Old Town Area of Bhuvaneshwar around Bindusagar Lake and other temple complexes including the Lingaraja Temple. With dense and unplanned neighbourhood development, congested roads ad-hock marketplaces, archaic storm water drainage and poor waste management in and around the historic structures, this part of the city remains untouched by recent infrastructure developments. This paper aims at providing sustainable solutions by proposing retrofitting measures to the existing infrastructure. A walkability audit followed up with recommendations has been made, incorporating the latest trends in sustainable infrastructure.
