Urban Design and Development

Introduction: In the process of developing market yards in India, two main situations need to be considered: existing sites and new locations. Each scenario presents unique challenges and requires careful planning and design. This article explores the design approaches and options available for market yard development in the Indian context, taking into account specific considerations and factors to ensure successful outcomes. Facilities at Existing Sites: Replacement of Existing Facilities: In some cases, complete or partial replacement of existing market facilities may be necessary. Challenges arise in ensuring uninterrupted market operations during the demolition and construction phases. Extension or Alteration of Existing Facilities: Extending or altering the existing market facilities can allow for continued operation. However, this approach may involve design and management compromises. Introduction of Facilities Management: Implementing facilities management techniques can...

Abstract : This research paper explores how India can leverage the latest technological advancements such as GIS, space syntax, and big data to achieve its goal of becoming a 5 trillion dollar economy. The paper discusses how GIS can aid geospatial data analysis for identifying areas of growth and mitigating environmental risks, as well as its potential use in humanitarian research, crowd simulation, urban planning, and facility management. Additionally, the integration of GIS and BIM is explored, along with the feasibility of urban model development. The paper concludes by discussing how GIS can be leveraged in various other areas such as crowd-sourcing digital mapping, analyzing urban inequalities, and improving solid waste management. By using the power of GIS, space syntax, and big data, India can accelerate its industrial development and achieve its ambitious goal of becoming a 5 trillion dollar economy. India to achieve its goal of becoming a 5 trillion-dollar economy, it is im...
