His principles for town planning in Bombay demonstrate his views on

the relationship between social processes and spatial form, and the

intimate and causal connections between the social development of the

individual and the cultural and physical environment. They included: (Bombay Town Planning Act of 1915")

Preservation of human life and energy, rather than superficial

beautification.

Conformity to an orderly development plan carried out in stages.

Purchasing land suitable for building.

Promoting trade and commerce.

Preserving historic buildings and buildings of religious significance.

Developing a city worthy of civic pride, not an imitation of European

cities.

Promoting the happiness, health and comfort of all residents, rather

than focusing on roads and parks available only to the rich.

Control over future growth with adequate provision for future

requirements.

Concepts..

Patrick Geddes explained an organisms relationship to itsenvironment as follows:

The environment acts, through function, upon the organism

and conversely the organism acts, through function, upon theenvironment.(Cities in Evolution, 1915)

In human terms this can be understood as a place acting

through climatic and geographic processes upon people and

thus shaping them. At the same time people act, through

economic processes such as farming and construction, on a

place and thus shape it. Thus both place and folk are linked

and through work are in constant transition.

Patrick Geddes was influenced by social theorists such asHerbert Spencer (18201903) and French theorist FredericLe Play (18061882) and expanded upon earlier theoretical

developments that lead to the concept of regional planning.

He adopted Spencer's theory that the concept of biologicalevolution could be applied to explain the evolution ofsociety, and drew on Le Play's analysis of the key units of

society as constituting "Lieu, Travail, Famille" ("Place,Work, Family"), but changing the last from "family" to"folk". In this theory, the family is viewed as the central"biological unit of human society "from which all else

develops. According to Geddes, it is from "stable, healthy homes"

providing the necessary conditions for mental and moraldevelopment that come beautiful and healthy children who

are able "to fully participate in life".

Tel-Aviv (Israel)

The Geddes Plan for Tel Avivwas the first

master city plan for Tel Aviv.

It was designed in 1925-1929 by

the Scottish city planner Sir Patrick

Geddes.

This program designed the centre of Tel

Aviv and the area now known as "OldNorth".

In 1925 Patrick Geddes was commissioned

to design a master plan for the city of Tel

Aviv.

The plan he produced was accepted in1929.

Tel Aviv turned out to be the only example

of one of Geddes plans being built largely

as he envisaged and is a good example of

an early planned city.


10/24

The area of Tel Aviv originally planned by Geddes makes up approximately

7.5% of the current day municipality of Tel Aviv and is now known as Tel

Avivs Old North.

It was designed to be an extension of the much older neighbouring Arabic port

town Jaffa to the south and a home for the increasing population of Jews

emigrating from other parts of the world (predominantly Eastern Europe).

Geddes, originally as biologist and sociologist was engaged to design a plan

for the new city of Tel Aviv to be built adjacent to the ancient port town ofJaffa.

The principles he employed for the city were strikingly similar to what we

now know as New Urbanism ideas of planning - an emphasis was placed on

pedestrians as opposed to motor car traffic, a sense of community and civic

life was encouraged through the use of town squares and abundant planting ofgreenery provided significant focus on a minimal environmental footprint.

Private automobile traffic was minimised and the city was envisaged on a

pedestrian-scale. This neighbourhood identity has been crucial in the success

of Tel Aviv as a city.

Conurbation


12/24

Conurbations Theory

The term "conurbation" was coined in 1915 by PatrickGeddes in his book Cities In Evolution.

Internationally, the term "urban agglomeration" is often

used to convey a similar meaning to "conurbation".

He drew attention to the ability of the (then) new

technology of electric power and motorised transport to

allow cities to spread and agglomerate together, and gave as

examples "Midland ton" in England, the Ruhr inGermany, Ramstad in the Netherlands, New York-Boston in

the United States, the Greater Tokyo Area and Taiheiy

Belt in Japan and NCR of Delhi in India.

Examples of Conurbation

NEW YORK

The expansive concept of the New York metropolitan

area (the Tri-State Region) centred on New York City,

including 30 counties spread between New YorkState, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania, with

an estimated population of 21,961,994 in 2007.

Approximately one-fifteenth of all U.S. residents live in

the Greater New York City area.

This conurbation is the result of several central cities

whose urban areas have merged.

UNITED KINGDOM

Industrial and housing growth in the UnitedKingdom during the 19th and early 20th centuries

produced many conurbations.

Greater London is by far the largest urban area and is

usually counted as a conurbation in statistical terms,but differs from the others in the degree to which it isfocused on a single central area. In the mid-1950sthe Green Belt was introduced to stem the further

urbanisation of the countryside in UK. The term "conurbation" is closer to the meaning

of urban agglomeration.


16/24

The list below shows the most populous urban areas in the UK

as defined by the Office for National Statistics (ONS). The

Greater London Urban Area contains the whole of what iscommonly called London, but ONS definitions divide London

into a large number of smaller localities of which the largest is

Croydon.

INDIAMumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) is a

metropolitan area consisting of the metropolis of Mumbai and

its satellite towns. Developing over a period of about 20 years,it consists of seven municipal corporations and fifteen smaller

municipal councils.

Since, all the five factors necessary for development of aregion are divided with five different place , theadministration of that region has a gradual progressing

path, because a certain region doesnt have the Maharashtra state has gained prime importance for the

country in the last few decade in spite of being formed inearly 60s, contributing 15% to countrys industrial

output and 13.3% GDP. Production, Manufacturing, automobile, Thermal

Electricity projects have been an active part in the growthof the state.

The distance between the cities in Maharashtra, rangesmostly in 100km-300km making transportation,connectivity, inter-dependency prosper within the state.


23/24

Maharashtra is divided into six revenue divisions,

which are further divided into thirty-five districts.

These thirty-five districts are further divided into 109sub-divisions of the districts and 357 Talukas in

Maharashtra.

The six administrative divisions in Maharashtra state

are Amravati Division, AurangabadDivision, Konkan Division, Nagpur Division, Nashik

Division, and Pune Division.

The Admistrational aspect of Maharashtra is quite aunique factor since six divisions are set up as a

network working together to form a well efficient an

d working governance.
