Residents may post their opinion and ideas on civic services such as transport, parking, water supply, sanitation, energy, housing, IT solutions,health, education, safety and security. Your views, opinion and solutions on urban issues faced by Chennai would not only support a better tomorrow for Chennaites, it will also make Chennai a strong contender for getting shortlisted as one of the first 20 cities in India to implement Smart City Solutions in Phase 1.

Chennai citizen and community is its biggest strength. Let’s participate to make this proposal inclusive and meaningful for every common man, every citizen.

The metropolitan cities are choking with traffic, particularly with cars and buses, and are suffering from the impact of too little regulation and too little enforcement of traffic rules.

These include green energy planning; green transport planning (modifying existing transport modes and introducing innovative green transport options); promotion of green buildings; making industries more environmentfriendly; promotion of green consumerism through eco-friendly design and production, as well as consumption;

In general, there are four types of land-use regulations: (i) regulations that establish minimum plot or apartment size, (ii) regulations that limit FSI, (iii) zoning plans that limit the type and density of land use, and (iv) land subdivision regulations that regulate percentages of sellable land in new “greenfield” developments.

Yet, government investment in infrastructure still impacts urban spatial structure and the real estate market. Interventions that regulate FSI may be well intended as a contribution to urban design and zoning, but many of these interventions fail to achieve their desired impacts.

Experience in India and other countries indicates that FSI regulations have been inefficient in guiding and directing growth and allocating land among alternative uses. Market forces, including factors such as vicinity and location advantage, prevailed more strongly than permits for higher land-use density.

Governments play an important role in regulating urban spatial development and land development patterns through infrastructure development, taxation, and land-use regulations. The government, however, is often not the dominant force; instead, the real estate market affects developments and sets trends.

A compact pattern adjacent to a public transport node has many benefits, and a well-connected grid supports public transport and decreases congestion. Thus, spatial planning can reduce the need to travel.

It is recommended to define and enhance public space. This means to secure sufficient public space in advance and to plan a system of public spaces and well-designed streets. The provision of planned green spaces—9 square meters per capita as recommended by the World Health Organization and within a 15-minute walking distance—is seen as an essential ingredient to improved environmental conditions.

New waste management practices of recycling and reuse have massive employment potential, as has been well demonstrated.
