PLANNING 1984-86 For many years B.V. Doshi argued in favor of smaller, Regional urban units so as to stem the economic demise of the country side and stop the flow of people Into the biggest cities. he has tried to synthesize the best of modern planning with the wisdom of traditional settlements. •Vidhyadar Nagar is projected as a satellite town In the city of Jaipur. •He called it an energy conscious plan because it tries to be less wasteful of natural resources, fuel and even human effort than the usual development. •The perimeter is square and there is a main axis running North-east to south-west, crossed by a secondary axis along the main transversal road. •Orientation is determined by the path of the sun so as to minimize solar contact with built surfaces. •Vidhyadar Nagar is broken down into sectors and the road •Pattern is designed to infiltrate traffic gradually. Each area has its own character and quality of enclosure. Buildings do not exceed four storey's and tallest face into larger roads. •Doshi has interpreted the lessons of traditional desert towns with their tight clusters,courtyards,havelis and lanes of transition from public to private space. •And also he has incorporated certain areas from the modern town planning tradition. •The geometry of plan relies upon mandala form. •The streets work in hierarchy: broad avenues there is a harmonious relationship between built form and open spaces. •His plans give details guidelines for the dispositions, plans, sections and even facades of individual structures. •Constraint by pattern. •Strong rationale and hierachy,and then the city continues to evolve over this armature.
