Historic Gardens – Patterns of Nature and Culture
Abstract: Historically, the way Landscape and the gardens were treated, depended upon the attitude and view of the people towards nature. Landscape and gardens have been viewed and designed differently in the Eastern and Western cultures. Nature can be dominated and controlled and made to serve humans is the view generally attributed to the west. Harmony and co-existence with nature and the action taken not to radically change nature but to …

Blurred lines in Planning Legislations for Regional Planning in India
Abstract: In an era of rapid urbanisation, comprehensive regional development, rather than a focus on a single urban area, is critical for meeting future needs. However, most states lack clarity in their Town and Country Planning legislation about the scope of regional planning and the power of regional planning authorities. This reflects a condition of uncertainty among the state's various planning authorities about their jurisdiction and responsibilities. The paper aims to …
