Today when one think or dream about a modern city it
immediately gives the name of Chandigarh
. Its master plan was prepared by Le Carbusier in 1948 for the capital of Punjab for 150000 population with future expansion upto
500,000 population along with the fast development of science and technology
and their effects on the city. He made the divisions in the form of sectors to
put similar functions together in comfortable conditions. Le Corbuseir already
explained that the roads of the city are as arteries to human body to supply
blood to keep a man healthy. Therefore, he put V8 type of roads for better and
smooth transportation by means of various speeds. But from last 19th
century to 20th century metropolitan city was popular like Delhi , Mumbai, Kolkata
and Chennai, but not for road but for facilities and trade environment. Today
people expected that the neat and clean roads for various speeds are most
important for the progress of and growth of country. So in 21st
century people are moving to metro cities.. Metro is the most economical and
finest mode of transportation in air or underground without disturbing various
functions on ground .
A metro city or metropolis city is that which provides
infrastructural facilities , provides friendly business-environment , education
avenues , employment opportunities and all other facilities to live and to make
human relations . There must be sufficient sources which can tackle day today
problems and various managements and city dwellers must feel comfortable on
socio-economic front . There may be boom in constructional activity but not at
the cast required open space , but at the same time there must be adequate
infrastructure to remove heaps of debris and other civic waste from city to
site of treatment or disposal i.e. to outskirts for final disposal for
treatment .All roads must have proper traffic signals or at least during peak
hours . There must be sufficient and excellent medical facilities , school and
schooling facilities so that each one must has confidence of proper growth of
his family . There must be sufficient portable water supply , perfect sewerage
system and must create a familiar environmental picture for others . There must
be effective net work of safe, cheap and comfortable transportation system in
minimum time for maximum distance . There must be facilities for academic
education ,recreation for every age group and lifestyle to pass time in a
comfortable conditions .
When a metro city is developed than there are development of
many satellite towns which develops as a parasite relationship with metro city
but when metro city can not sustain the load of satellite town than properties
of metro city starts decorating and it will start loosing its charm and
importance will fail . This is only when the development of satellite towns are
in the hands of private developers , therefore unit which is responsible to
develop metro city must be careful on site and private developers must delt
with iron hand . For example Delhi
government took initiative to remove traffic congestion through metro-mode of transportation.
The concept of metro is a world class transportation system by which man is
transported from one place to another in a comfortable and safe environment of
high speed without disturbing to anyone on road. Man who use one hour to move
from one point to other point by metro will take more than two hour by road or
even more.
Delhi Metro had already linked many sub-urban cities like
Noida, Ghaziabad, Faridabad and will link others in future which will force
people to live in their own town and at the same time one government must help
the other government to have more and more infrastructures so that metro city
can be made safe from migration. Any development of infrastructure in a city is
directly related to its economy. Some time some states has a better financial
position so that they van afford but some one may not afford . For example
after the development of Chandigrah once Mr. Nehru said that a poor country
like India can not afford
the second Chandigrah in India
.
Economical growth of a state is more and more important for
such infrastructure therefore infrastructure must be related to functional requirements, economical growth and to various natural
elements to meet the basic requirements of dwellers . At the same time
migration of people must be stop by developing various amenities where
transportation is most important by which man can cover distance in the
shortest period which is only possible by metro-rail , 6 to 8 lane road where
car , bus etc. can run not less than 80 to 100 km. .per hours . speed .
The provision of all these type of transportations are the
net-work of transportation and are interrelated for which we need a much larger
space , infrastructures and money and units for management . Today other
important part is the protection of water which is only possible when all
rivers are interconnected and stop the flow of water to sea or convert more and
more as ground water , otherwise next world war will be for water .
In fact New Delhi is the administrative capital of India ,
Mumbai and Calcutta are commercial cities but by and by Delhi is also as a
commercial one because suburban cities of Delhi are day by day becoming more
powerful commercial units which have corporate offices are at Delhi . If these
suburban cities are remodel with respect to one function than would be for
better and the future of country will has better opportunities to next generation .
Another example case study is Dwarka which is a new
satellite town of Delhi
.The planning of this township is much more based on Chandigrah ‘s road pattern
etc . It is an excellent one to provide mental and physical comfort to its
dwellers but on the other hand it has a poor maintains of services and development of slum which gives
a poor impacts on dwellers and giving birth to various evils
Most of cities in India don’t have employment opportunities therefore
today more than 95 percent educated young youth between 20 to 30 years are out
of their town by this there is no comparison of uneducated youth to educated
youth . This is creating a new problem of un-law-fullness among the uneducated
youth . This will give a poor impact in future on society i.e. society may be
un-human or society may lost human
qualities . Today one can observe that all over the world . Today man is not
honest to use his knowledge and money to develop his own city / town and
country .One day some one will give a new horizon of development for world and
world – politicians for mankind .
