Enriching the everyday life using open spaces

The Indian cities are growing rapidly in terms of population and therefore expanding physically. Increasing urban population and the growing urban incomes will fuel demand for more and more built-floor space in cities accompanied by a demand for infrastructure. Many urban areas within these cities are dealing with unstainable levels of stress on infrastructure, resources and public services and are becoming increasingly unlivable.  The national schemes enable planning for developing infrastructure in the brownfield areas through mechanisms such as Local Area Plans and Town Planning schemes.
