The City Earth Needs
By Nick March 28, 2008
Auroville is an under-construction town from south India that plans to create a harmonious way of life for all its inhabitants. Lalit Bhati is an urban planner, an architect and resident of Auroville, and will be presenting the project at the Ecocity World Summit. The Auroville site states that the ultimate purpose of this city is “to realise human unity”, and to be a town where “men and women of all countries are able to live in peace and progressive harmony above all creeds, all politics and all nationalities”.
Although the spiraling neighborhoods are only half way done, we can see from this 360° view of Auroville the idea under which it’s being made, that both industrial and residential areas have to blend perfectly in order to offer a modern, but still natural living to the population of 50,000 people from around the world it is about to host.
