Module 5
New Urbanism
• New Urbanism is a planning and development approach based on the principles of how cities
and towns had been built for the last several centuries: walkable blocks and streets, housing and
shopping in close proximity, and accessible public spaces. In other words: New Urbanism
focuses on human-scaled urban design.
• The principles, articulated in the Charter of the New Urbanism, were developed to offer
alternatives to the sprawling, single-use, low-density patterns typical of post-WWII development,
which have been shown to inflict negative economic, health, and environmental impacts on
communities.
• These design and development principles can be applied to new development, urban infill and
revitalization, and preservation. They can be applied to all scales of development in the full range
of places including rural Main Streets, booming suburban areas, urban neighborhoods, dense
city centers, and even entire regions.
Characteristics of New Urbanism
• Return of human-scale neighborhoods
• Placemaking and public space a high priority
• Pragmatic approach involving builders, small developers, traffic engineers,

appraisers and financial institutions, public officials, citizens
• Focused on design, which is critical to the function of communities
• New Urbanism is holistic
• Reclaiming underutilized and neglected places

Special Economic Zone (SEZ)
• What is SEZ?
• A special economic zone (SEZ) is a geographical region that is designed to export goods and
provide employment. SEZs are exempt from federal laws regarding taxes, quotas, FDI-bans, labour
laws and other restrictive laws in order to make the goods manufactured in the SEZ at a globally
competitive price.
• A special economic zone, in short SEZ is a geographically bound zone where the economic laws in
matters related to export and import are more broadminded and liberal when compared to rest of the
country. SEZs are protected as duty-free areas for the purpose of trade, operations, duty, and tariffs.
SEZ units are self-contained and integrated having their own infrastructure and support services.
Features of SEZ
• Free trade zones (FTZ) Export processing zones (EPZ) Free zones (FZ) Industrial parks or
industrial estates (IE), Urban enterprise zones
• The SEZ and export promotion facilitated the growth of the Indian SEZs.
• To increase exports
• SEZ can be set up by private, public, joint sector or by the state government
• 100% FDI for manufacturing sector
• No caps on foreign investments for SSI reserved items
• Income tax benefit
• Duty free import of domestic goods
• Exemption from Income tax on investments

TOD-Transit oriented development
• It is the exciting fast-growing trend in creating vibrant, livable, sustainable

communities. Also known as TOD, it's the creation of compact, walkable,
pedestrian-oriented, mixed-use communities centered around high-quality train
systems. This makes it possible to live a lower-stress life without complete
dependence on a car for mobility and survival.
• Transit oriented development is regional planning, city revitalization, suburban

renewal, and walkable neighborhoods combined. TOD is rapidly sweeping the
nation with the creation of exciting people places in city after city.
COMPONENTS OF TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT
-Walkable design with pedestrian as the highest priority
-Train station as prominent feature of town center
-Public square fronting train station
-A regional node containing a mixture of uses in close proximity (office, residential, retail, civic)
-High density, walkable district within 10-minute walk circle surrounding train station
-Collector support transit systems including streetcar, light rail, and buses, etc
-Designed to include the easy use of bicycles and scooters as daily support transport
-Large ride-in bicycle parking areas within stations
-Bikeshare rental system and bikeway network integrated into stations
-Reduced and managed parking inside 10-minute walk circle around town center / train station
-Specialized retail at stations serving commuters and locals including cafes, grocery.
Integrated Township
• Rapid urbanisation has become the accelerator of the world economy. A report by the World
Bank states that cities generate 80% of the global Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Thus,
urban areas have become a hotbed for progress and productivity.
• The onset of the 21st century saw the development of gated communities and integrated
townships as a solution to this dire problem. A gated housing community is a close
boundary complex that restricts the entry of unfamiliar people. It works on a self-sustainable
model that does not rely on the supply chain. These integrated building clusters are planned
in a fashion to accommodate all necessary amenities such as schools, hospitals, grocery
stores, religious buildings, recreational facilities, offices, gardens, and parks within the gated
township.
Integrated township
• Integrated townships are high in demand and are found in the outskirts of busy
metropolitan cities. The reason for such preference is because of the multifold
benefits that they provide to home seekers.
• 1. Abundance of Greenery
• 2. Soaring Resale Values
• 3. Plethora of Amenities
• 4. Close Proximity to Workplace
• 5. The Complete Infrastructure
