Problems and Prospects of Urban Compaction - A Case of Jaipur City
The compact city is an integrated form of city with high density,mixed uses and intensification of land uses with centralised activities and higher densities.It requires provision of facilities within a walkable distance and an efficient public transport system to reduce the energy consumption and the pollution so created.The compact city is a form of sustainable urban form as it becomes a solution to the present problem of urban sprawl and rapid development of cities towards the outskirts.Indian cities are expanding in size with their urban boundaries extending outwards.There is a lot of pressure on urban land which due to haphazard development is getting wasted.The compact city is a way to reduce the pressure on land by utilising it to the maximum with higher economic productivity and better environmental quality.The following paper discusses the various parameters which are used to measure compactness of a city and using them the urban compact form of Jaipur city has been analysed.
