Regional Allocation of Sustainable Population and Economic Growth

Abstract: This chapter describes the method by which future population can be allocated for Greater Mumbai and Bengaluru city through Relative Employment Potential (REP) and Sustainable Accommodation through Feedback Evaluation (SAFE) models. Allocation of the surplus population could be made to the capable satellite towns. Capacity assessment of Greater Mumbai and Bengaluru city and their satellite towns has to be carried out with a focus on developable land, Floor Area Ratio (FAR), and economic opportunities. The ways to fulfill the allocation of land required for future populations of all urban centres of the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) and Bangalore Metropolitan Region (BMR) are also worked out before assessment of carrying capacities through the application of SAFE Model.

PowerPost: A Framework for Designing Visual Political Communication

Abstract: Visual media is an essential medium of political communication which is used by various stakeholders in democracies. However, most people engaging in political discourse are not professionally trained in design and are unable to communicate their messages effectively through visual media. The process of designing visual political communication (VPC) can be made more effective by incorporating domain-specific design principles in the design process. These design principles are identified by an examination of existing research on perception and cognition of VPC and analysis of its useful examples. An application, PowerPost, is proposed based on the basis of this analysis.

Geospatial Intelligence for Smart Living–Case of New Delhi

Abstract: The following chapter tries to pay attention to the spatial dimension of smart living projects in India. Geospatial Planning is a comparatively new terminology in the spatial planning dictionary of the Indian urban scenario, just like the terms smart planning and smart cities are. Although there is no clear delineation between smart living and smart city projects in India, characteristics of the Smart Cities Mission are in consonance with the ideologies of smart living. The chapter first tries to understand the key values underpinning the concept of smart living and delineates it through the terms interconnectedness, sustainability and mobility (both social and physical in nature). It tries to then identify how geospatial tools help manifest these values of smart living and an elaborate network of indicators is identified. This network of indicators lays the foundation for evaluating geospatial smart living projects in New Delhi.
