Creating Self-Sufficient Sub-cities: The Case of Bhopal

The primary objective of the Studio was to equip students with the skills to develop micro-level plans, including various statutory and non-statutory microlevel planning mechanisms. Aerocity, Bhopal, was a unique site – with a town development scheme already in place, but unable to develop; thus, requiring solutions needed for both greenfield and brownfield areas. Two proposals were made in lieu of this – one to be applied for purely greenfield projects, and the other, to revive a dormant scheme. The former was similar to a TP Scheme made using the Gujarat model, while the latter was a new approach inspired by the same. The time constraint and the absence of plot ownership in the new scheme were the major limitations.
