HISTORY

Being one of the most important port cities of Denmark, the city of Copenhagen has been under the rule of differnt kingdoms and has also faced wars.Thus has a very effective and a sprited history. With its people having faced the era of weponry at a very early stage the people realised the need for a peaceful public life thus deviced the modern bicycle city in different stages under planners.

Well known for its historic features, the city of Mysore was majorly under the Wodayar kings. The rulers of the city majorly concentrated on developing the city in an urban scale where in they constructed many major palaces which are the renowned landmarks of the country today.

CITY PLANNING The plan for development of the city of Copenhagen is well defined. The develpoment is restricted on to a specified direction since following the five finger development plan.

The city has developed vastly since 1887 to 2007 and the development is majorly not just industrial but a level of concern in the city planning aspects is shown towards the lifestyle of the residents to the city as well.

With an intention of maintaining the good health of the public of the city all the places of the city are extremely well connected by efficient cycling lanes.

In comparison to the other modes of transport public or private, cycles are used in a very high percentage.

When it is an intension to make people use bicycles as their major mode of transport, the city planners have seen to it that they make the people abide by the intension without their consience.

Thus are the public spaces designed to house designed parking spaces for bicycles.

The other urban plazza and squares are designed to be vehicle free so that people chose to move on foot to have a better experience of the culture and the architecture of the city.

FEATURES CYCLING LANES

CYCLE PARKINGS

URBAN SPACES

The planning and development of the city was a mojor progress with respec to having the conditions of its recidents in concern. The city is well planned to accomodate people to lead a healthy lifestyle despite being in a developing city that mainly faces development in the field of transport and connectivity.

Not being a concrete jungle like most of the other developing cityies of the nation, Mysore still aims at remaining as one of the green city.

The beauty of these spaces can be well exparienced during the early hours of the day where in cycles could be rented and toured around the city in the lanes dedicated.

With an idea of movng around the city on wheels,the government provides its people and tourists with rental bicycles at public squares and spaces so as to promote motor-free environment.

The main squares are mainly filled with vechcular traffic, thus not many cycling lanes are seen along these squares. But during the festival seasons these squares are used for public congrigations and processions.

URBAN DESIGN-CITY COMPARISON SIMILARITIES

HISTORY

The city of Copenhagen has evolved in its design aspects having the idealogies and concept of maintainng the healthy lifestyle of its residents and its migrants.

The city of Jaipur has the concept of retaining the rich cultural heritage of the place. With the aspect of preserving the cultural aspect there have been many initiatives taken one among them is the most predominant uses of pink sand stone locally available in the city outskirts.

CITY PLANNING The planning and the development of the city of Jaipur happened due to various reasons such as need for safety from invaders, need for a new capital and a political location that can be more influential not only with respect to its location but also with respect to it caontribution in trading long back then. The city was majorly developed by the rulers of the city.

The plan for development of the city of Copenhagen is well defined. The develpoment is restricted on to a specified direction since following the five finger development plan.

The city has developed vastly since 1887 to 2007 and the development is majorly not just industrial but a level of concern in the city planning aspects is shown towards the lifestyle of the residents to the city as well.

FEATURES URBAN SPACES The open spaces designated for congigation purposes in the city of copenhagen is mainly occupied by pedestrians and cyclists and less of vehicular movements along these zones owing to the factor that the people of the city depend more on traveling by foot rather than by any means of transport.

If not with the material the city is unified its features resembling a long continuous facade.

The open spaces in the city of Jaipur are filled with constant vehicular movement along with an unsafe movement of the pedestrians along with these continuously moving vehicles.

The city as a facade is totally unified by the materials used for construction purpose over the past few decades. This casts a more serene and a calm picturisque nature for the whole of the city.
