HOUSING AND ITS

RELATIONSHIP WITH
NEIGHBORHOOD AND CITY PLAN
WHAT IS HOUSING?
 Housing, or more generally living spaces, refers to the construction
and assigned usage of houses or buildings collectively, for the
purpose of sheltering people — the planning or provision delivered
by an authority, with related meanings.
[1] Ensuring that members of society have a home in which to live,
whether this is a house, or some other kind of dwelling, lodging, or
shelter, is a social issue.
[2] Many governments have one or more housing authorities,
sometimes also called a housing ministry, or housing department.
HOUSING PLAN

 An efficient type of housing is seen when an area is planned with a specific


housing plan.
 We need a housing plan as increasing Urban housing problem that perhaps
causes the most concern to a majority of urban dwellers is the problem of
finding an appropriate place to live. Also, the housing investment has not
kept pace with the increasing demand for housing.
NEED OR PURPOSE OF A HOUSING PLAN

 A housing plan gives equal and free access to housing for


everyone.
 Identifies the gaps, problems in proving housing.
 Focusses on the residential structure in the plan.
 Uses land use policies and financing patterns in favor of
people
NEIGHBORHOOD UNIT PLAN

 he Neighborhood unit plan in in brief is the effort to


create a residential neighbourhood to meet the needs
of family life in a unit related to the larger whole but
possessing a distinct entity characterised by six factors
 1. A child need not cross traffic streets on the way to
school.
 2. A centrally located elementary school which will be
within easy walking distance, no more than one and a
half mile from the farthest dwelling.
 3. A housewife can walk to a shopping centre to obtain
daily household gifts.
 4. Convenient transportation to and from the
workplace.
 5. Scattered neighborhood parks and playgrounds to
comprise about 10% of the whole area.
 6. A residential environment with harmonious
architecture, careful planting, centrally located
NEIGHBORHOOD IN THE URBAN CONTEXT

 Impact of urbanization, rise of mass society, modernization, improved inter


connectivity and the consequent increased socio-spatial mobility in the
neighborhood has been highly destructive. Increasing mobility and
transportation facilities have opened up new possibilities, thereby
disregarding the benefits expected of a neighborhood.
 It is not misleading to accuse public and private housing initiatives driven by
neoliberal or random land use options solely targeting financial viability and
profitability of the current status of housing. Most of the current housing
approaches concentrate on the physical attributes of single dwelling units and
exclude the fact that the dwelling units rarely stand alone in a given physical
space. The high-rise settlement blocks with inadequately planned physical
environment characterize most of the contemporary developments. This
however does not diminish the importance of the neighborhood unit.
CONCLUSION

 Neighborhoods form the urban tissue of the city both physically and socially.
The concept of the neighborhood is well established as a basic unit of
planning the cities. Further, it is a popular and accepted element of social
and physical organization in the minds of most people. Hence the
neighborhood has become the symbol and the means to preserve the socio-
cultural values of an earlier less harried way of life in our increasingly
complex and fast moving urban centers. This also causes enhancement in the
social-cultural bonds that would result as a direct outcome of improvement in
physical conditions of a neighborhood.
WHAT IS CITY PLANNING?
 City planning, sometimes called "urban planning,"
focuses on the quality of life in cities, suburbs, towns
and villages.
 When planning a city, planners must consider
many factors, including the economy, the
environment, and cultural and transportation
needs. City planners also must understand current
uses of existing buildings, roads and facilities in
their city, as well as how these uses may affect
the city in the future.
ELEMENTS OF CITY PLAN
 All the individual objects that are included in an urban area are the elements of city plan. These objects
include residential building, public buildings, parks, factories, roads etc.

 Town generally consists of the following:


 Town centre
 Suburbs
 Industrial areas
 Road network
 Open spaces
 The main elements of city plan are:
 Built up areas
 Communication
 Open areas
 Public utility services
 Public amenities
TYPES OF URBAN PLANNING

 STRATEGIC URBAN PLANNING focuses on setting high-level goals and determining desired areas
of growth for a city or metropolitan area. The result of the planning process is a strategic plan—
also called the development plan, core strategy, or comprehensive plan. The strategic plan’s
goals may include easing transportation throughout the city, creating more community spaces,
improving citizens’ quality of life, or encouraging people to visit or move to the city.
 LAND-USE PLANNING largely concerns legislation and policy, adopting planning instruments like governmental
statutes, regulations, rules, codes, and policies to influence land use.
 They also serve to zone or reserve land for certain purposes such as:
• Residential, for buildings like apartment homes, single-family residences, and condominiums
• Commercial, for buildings like retail shops and office buildings
• Industrial, for structures like manufacturing plants and warehouses
• Municipal, for structures like police stations and courthouses
MASTER PLANNING
 Master planning is typically used for greenfield development projects, or
building on undeveloped land—instead of modifying pre-existing
structures or spaces, you’re starting from scratch.
 This type of urban planning envisions a future state for a given space, and
what it will take to achieve that vision. Urban planners must consider the
required zoning (from your land-use plan) and infrastructure to make the
project possible, such as residential and commercial land, transportation
considerations, road locations, etc. They must also plan the location of
urban amenities such as community facilities, schools, parks, and the like.
URBAN REVITALIZATION
 In contrast to master planning, urban revitalization focuses on
improving areas that are in a state of decline. The exact definition
of a declining area will differ from city to city—for example, areas
that have a troubling number of failing businesses or a stagnant or
decreasing population growth. The improvement tactics city
leaders use for revitalization will depend on the root cause of
decline, and may include things like repairing roads, developing
infrastructure, cleaning up pollution, and adding to parks and other
public spaces, etc.
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

 Economic development is about identifying areas of growth


to foster greater financial prosperity within the city,
specifically by enticing companies to build or move offices
there. Subsequently, those companies then hire local talent
and drive commuter traffic to the new office. More workers
dining at local restaurants for lunch, getting gas at nearby
gas stations, and stopping by local grocery stores on the
way home will boost visibility and spend in the area.
ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNING

 Environmental planning is a type of strategic development that


emphasizes sustainability. Considerations for this type of urban
planning include air pollution, noise pollution, wetlands, habitats of
endangered species, flood zone susceptibility, and coastal zone erosion,
along with a host of other environmental factors dealing with the
relationship between natural and human systems.
INFRASTRUCTURE PLANNING

 Infrastructure planning deals with the fundamental facilities and


systems that serve a city and its people, and how those facilities can
support goals laid out in the strategic plan. This type of urban
planning covers:
• Public works infrastructure such as water supply, sewage,
electricity, and telecommunications
• Community infrastructure such as schools, hospitals, and parks
• Safety and transportation such as roads, police, and fire facilities
