Author Details

This review examines the predominant theoretical approaches of public participatory urbanism adopted for the transformative & cohesive development of the neighborhoods. The conceptual differences between three major theories i.e. Tactical Urbanism, Do It Yourself Urbanism and Insurgent Public Spaces under Guerilla Urbanism will be examined. It will also seek the archetypal planning scenario observed in planning process.

The review will compare and contrast the ideological differences between the three approaches and it will conclude by finding important gaps & by recommending the probable solutions for the same.

Abstract

As urbanization leads to rapid decline in open spaces across our cities, a rethink for the sustainability of urban biodiversity and maintenance of essential ecosystem services is a must. The rate at which urbanization is taking place is exponential resulting in urban sprawls eating away much of open spaces. Environmental degradation continues to be a major problem in many cities as the open spaces available per capita are decreasing. By 2030 more than 57% of the world’s population is expected to live in urban areas with the figure expected to touch 70% by 2050 (United Nations, 2013). Consequently urban sustainability will be a critical challenge, particularly for developing nations like India. This paper evaluates the importance of these spaces and tries to propose urban design solutions for sustainability of these recreational open spaces.
