Intentional Unsustainability in Waterfront Regeneration: A Case Study of Sabarmati Riverfront Ahmedabad
Abstract: Indian urban riverfronts have largely been neglected and have lost both on ecological and urban aspects. Large tracts of riverfront lands are often encroached, both illegally and quasi-legally, and essential flood plains have been destroyed. Against this background, the development of the Sabarmati riverfront was an opportunity to reenergize Ahmedabad and unfortunately became a pilot project for other cities. The project reclaims about 200 hectares of land and creates around …

Design Procedure and Criteria Used in Vertical Gardens and Green Roof Constructions
Abstract: A vertical garden also known as living wall or green wall is an independent vertical garden attached to exterior or interior walls of a building. In vertical gardens, various types of modular panels can be used along with geo-textile fabrics, growing media, irrigation systems, and plants. Living walls are mainly appropriate for cities, as they permit good use of obtainable vertical surface areas. The living wall could also function for …

An Analysis on the Current Perspective of Urban Design
Abstract: We know that urban design is historically played a major role in development of cities. Urban design, as a presently discipline, is relatively new compared to linked disciplines of architecture, urban planning, and landscape architecture. The close relation of urban design with these allied disciplines has also been the cause for its unclear nature, and its muddled definition. Accordingly, it is appealed here that a reexamination of the definition, status, …

Spatiotemporal Analysis for Urban Pattern Evolution in Sacred District Mathura of India through K-means Classification
Abstract: When considering about the urban structures, morphology, and functions of a historic and pilgrimage place, it is very important to know the relationship between urban structures and urban functions. This relationship can be established at micro as well as macro level to understand the theory on urban lifecycles and urban sociological interactions. Also, growth of urbanization is directly proportional to economic development of the nation and so as the need …

Construction Safety Management
Abstract: Construction industry is an important part of the economy in many countries and often seen as a driver of economic growth especially in developing countries. Typically, construction industry contributes to 11% of gross domestic products (GDP) in most developing countries. However many construction activities are inherently health and safety risks such as working at height, working underground, working in confined spaces and close proximity to falling materials, handling load manually, …

Importance of Traffic and Transportation Plan in the Context of Land Use Planning for Indian Cities
Abstract: Traffic congestion is one of the important issues in developing cities and it depends on the change in land use. Regulation of zoning and land use play as major role to mitigate the traffic congestion. Integration of Land use and transport system is one of the good solution to manage the traffic congestion is developing cities. In the past decades, Urban sprawl has resulted in to loss of high quality …

Review of Impact of Sanitation on Children in India
Abstract: An improved sanitation facility is one that hygienically separates human excreta from human contact. Improved sanitation facilities are used by less than two thirds of the world population. The global picture masks great disparities between regions. Virtually the entire population of the developed regions uses improved facilities, but in developing regions only around half the population uses improved sanitation. The purpose of the study was to review the relevant literature …

Isolation and Characterization of Rhizosphere-Competent Indigenous Phosphate-Solubilizing Bacteria for Biofertilizer Applications
Abstract: Phosphorus (P) is an essential nutrient for crop growth and development. Low levels of P in soil is due to high reactivity of soluble P with calcium (Ca), iron (Fe) or aluminum (Al) that lead to P precipitation. Mineral phosphate (P) solubilization is an important activity of rhizospheric bacteria that contribute significantly to the plant growth and development in eco-friendly manner. Four potent phosphate solubilizers (PSB-2, PSB-3, PSB-4 and PSB-7), …
