Green area should invariably be Incorporated into the urban planning. The other thing is that its history should be preserved and planning should be done in such a way that its traditional value finds manifestation in the planning and designing.
I was in Baroda. The name of Baroda was originally Vadodara means a place where there are lots of banyan trees. Vadodara municipal corporation planted lots of Banyan trees to justify its name.
I remember one story of some British engineer who had planned Delhi. It is said that he knew that this city will expand phenomenally. Accordingly, he planted lots of Jamun trees which even today gives the the employment to many people who pick up the jambus and sell it on the footpath. This sort of foresightedness should be incorporated into the planning.
The other thing is that it should have a robust waste management system where the Savage wastage can be used as fertilizer and sewage water can be used for industrial purpose. High density forest such as miyawaki plantation should be done in many places in the City to contain carbon foot print. The organic waste can be used as a fertilizer and mulching.
Some places should be kept reserved for small traders such as vegetable vendors, street food vendors etc. so that they may not have to stand on the road. Actually, this sector provides a lots of employment but it is neglected most of the time. When they stand on the roads for the selling, they are seen with as nuisance or some people who are creating traffic problems etc. We should be incorporate in design stage while planning the modern city.
Of course there are many other aspects such as connectivity, transportation, Wi-Fi etc. However, most of the members will discuss that only and that's why I leave it for them to discuss and put forward their view points.
