Chapter 6- CASE STUDIES
6.10.1AIMS AND OBJECTIVE OF THE PROJECTPromote development in areas with existing infrastructure. Promote mixed-use, pedestrian-friendly development close to transit hubs in municipal centres to scale
back greenhouse-gas
emissions related
to automobile
dependence,
whereas protective natural areas that absorb atmospherically dioxide and scale back flooding. Increase urban leaf and tree cowl. green area and tree cowl in urban areas facilitate scale back energy needs by keeping cities cooler and actively take away carbon
from
the
atmosphere.
They conjointly give different substantial
environmental advantages like reducing pollution and pollution, and square measure a simpler and fewer high-priced way to manage storm water run-off than building carbon-intensive systems of concrete sewers, drainage, and water treatment facilities. Identify and redevelop brown fields and grey fields. A Brownfield is property that's unused,
underutilized,
or troublesome to
sell because
of noted or
suspected environmental contamination. several riverfront areas contain former industrial sites falling below this description. Abandoned or underutilized looking centres, strip malls, and different areas with in depth sealed surfaces are called grey fields. not like Brownfield's, they usually don't need remedy, in order that they are prime candidates for renovation. New visions for such sites have resulted in complete makeovers as tree lined neighbourhoods and mixed-use developments. Upgrade infrastructure and amenities. Upgrading infrastructure and amenities like lighting, sidewalks, street furniture, bike lanes, shade trees, and utilities in riverfront business districts ought to be a part of a joint program to draw in infill development. Government policies and resources will steer renovation to infill sites and spoilt areas. Recognize new development and renovation in municipal centres and adjacent riverfronts as key opportunities to realize upgrades and expansions to water and waste matter infrastructure. The
