ABSTRACT :
The population of a city grows through birth as well as migration. The
economy has not been able to provide employment and an income for
the vast majority of rural migrants, including the urban poor.
Significantly, a large number of urban poor work in the informal
sector as they have less skill, less education and less capital. In many
developing countries, including India, due to the fast pace of
urbanization, many rural areas are gradually becoming part of urban
areas, where urban amenities are lacking and open spaces, cultivable
lands and water bodies remain, at least in the initial stages of
urbanization. Due to growing environmental concerns, there is often a
demand to preserve such open spaces to protect the environment. This
provides an opportunity for some people to earn a livelihood by
following traditional occupations like agriculture and thereby
providing fresh vegetables for the urban population. However, these
people do not enjoy some of the urban amenities and continue to be
connected to the rural world through visits, remittances and social,
cultural and economic networks, sometimes recruiting people from
their rural areas. Thus, the indigenous, traditional knowledge of
cultivation and its practice in urban areas, not only helps a group of
people, the poor, to survive in urban situations but it also helps to
achieve sustainable development with better environmental
conditions.

“SOCIO ECONOMIC HABITAT FOR URBAN POOR”

INTRODUCTION :
 Owing to rapid urbanization in and around the town, large influx of the
migrants has been observed,
 which has resulted in formation of slums. The town presents a wide range
of activities in various
 Institutional, Commercial and Tourism sectors. Growth in such activities,
possibilities of absorption in
 various service sectors, scope of employment in trade and business
activities, hawking, retailing, carting
 etc. could have attracted rural poor to the town.
 Increasing migration from RURAL to URBAN areas

OBJECTIVES :
 To prevent the growth of slums and encroachments
 To prevent the eviction of slum dwellers by private owners and to provide
the slum families with security of tenure.

 To provide basic amenities like water supply, street lights, storm water
drains, sewer line, etc to the slum areas.

 To study and analysis the different characteristics of housing and needs of

the URBAN POOR with their process of developing own human life.

 To study existing condition of internally displacement person life and

their settlements.
AIM :
 To propose the housing unit for Urban poor people where LIG, MIG,
EWS with major facilities

SCOPE :
 Provision of services to the urban poor residing in slums and within
municipal limits.

PROPOSED SITE :
Site Area : 48 acre
INTEGRATED SATELLITE
TOWNSHIP
- THOPPUR ,MADURAI
INTRODUCTION :

A satellite town or satellite city is a concept in urban planning that refers

essentially to smaller metropolitan areas which are located somewhat near to,
but are mostly independent of, larger metropolitan areas.

AIM:
Aims at creating economically productive, efficient, equitable and
responsive cities in an integrated framework  Focus on economic and social
infrastructure  Basic services to urban poor, urban sector reforms

NEED FOR SATELLITE TOWN

 Challenges in management of essential infrastructure like

 water supply, Sewerage, Drainage
 solid waste disposal
 Tremendous strain on the delivery of services in major cities due to the
concentration of economic activities and population
 Need for decentralization of activities so as to reduce the burden on these
cities.
 Severe uncontrolled growth of urban population
 Problem in managing already over strained cities
 increase in the demand for infrastructure facilities and amenities
 land shortage, housing shortfall, inadequate transportation
OBJECTIVES:
 To develop urban infrastructure facilities such as DRAINAGE AND
SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT TRANSPORTATIONSEWERAGE
 To adopt innovative public – private partnerships models for development
of satellite towns.  Earmarking 10-15% of housing sites for the urban
poor i.e, Economically Weaker Sections (EWS) / Low Income Group
(LIG)
 To promote the following Urban Local Bodies (ULB) level reforms: a.
Adoption of a modern, accrual based, double entry system of accounting
b. Introduction of a system of e-governance using IT applications,
Geographical Information Systems (GIS) andManagement Information
Systems (MIS) for various urban services and establishment of citizens
facilitation centres.
 Internal earmarking of budgets for basic services to the urban poor f.
Earmarking of housing sites for the urban poor g. Formulating bye laws
which shall incorporate provisions for disaster management, rainwater
harvesting, reuse and recycle of waste water, barrier free environment and
structural safety and shall also be in strict compliance with the National
 Implementation of Public Disclosure Law i. Implementation of
Community Participation Law

CITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR SATELLITE TOWN

 A City Development Plan (CDP) shall be prepared for the satellite town
by the ULB or some other agency designated for the purpose
 Planning on concept of continuity, compactness and self containment
 Each part of the township while being self-sufficient in itself should form
an integral part of the town as a whole having clear functional linkages
with the mother city and other urban centers

The planning of satellite town may adopt different kind of development i.e. low-
rise and low-density development/high rise medium density or high-rise and
high-density development depending on the local and felt demand. CITY
GOVERNMENT PROPOSAL :
 An integrated satellite township will come up in the outskirts of Madurai.
The temple town in southern Tamil Nadu is witnessing a significant
population increase in recent times, according to a State Government press
release.
 The township is planned 15 km from the city near Madurai airport. Tamil
Nadu Housing Board has 586.86 acres in Thoppur and Uchappati villages
on the Madurai-Tirunelveli highway. This land will be used to develop the
township, says the release issued by Tamil Nadu Chief Minister
J.Jayalalithaa.

SCOPE OF STUDY :
 Amelioration of population pressure on metropolitan towns.
 Improved financial management in urban local bodies.
  Improvement in basic infrastructure and service delivery related to
water supply, sanitation and solid waste management.
 Improved urban planning

REDEVELOPMENT OF PERIYAR
BUS STAND

- MADURAI
INTRODUCTION :
Madurai is located south of Tamil Nadu. It is the second largest city in
Tamil Nadu and connects the southern districts to northern districts in Tamil
Nadu, and is also the major transport city in Tamil Nadu. The floating
population is much heavier in the city during the day time. Most of the people
from southern districts visit for medical, educational, marketing, cargo,
shopping, tourism or official purposes. Day by day Madurai city faces more
traffic problems. It is the one of the important traffic circles in Tamil Nadu.

AIM :
 Madurai has well-developed transport facilities.
 Modes of transport in Madurai include road, rail and air.
 Madurai faces increasing daily traffic problems,
 So, REDEVELOPMENT OF PERIYAR BUS STAND master plans have
been prepared to reduce the city traffic and traffic problems in suburbs.

GOVERNMENT PROPOSAL :
 There was a plan to lay a direct path from the temple to the Madurai
railway junction. The Corporation also planned to implement projects such as
development of Periyar bus stand and Vaigai riverfront development.

NEED OF REDEVELOPED BUS STAND :

 the terminal arises with increase in the demand. An organized bus

terminal should meet the following requirements-
 •Accessibility , Comfort and convenience ,Safety ,Easy processing
 Size The following factors are considered to characterize the size of
the terminal and its functions-
 Flow of traffic
 System characteristics
 User characteristics
 Location The selection of the location should satisfy the following
criteria
 •It should form a component in the hierarchy of transport systems
 •It should be a component in the hierarchical system of transportation
terminals
 •The concentration and dispersal costs should be minimum
 •It should be located such that as point of coordination and integration
between inter-city and intra-city transport
 4.Design Following points should be kept in mind for efficient
workability of terminal-
 1.Segregation of bus and non-bus traffic
 2.Segregation of pedestrian and vehicular movement
 3.Elimination of vehicular traffic conflict
 4.Segregation of pedestrian flows
