Regeneration of an Urban Village, Case : Shahpur Jat

In urban planning and design, an urban village is an urban development typically characterized by a medium-density housing, mixed use zoning, good public transit and an emphasis on pedestrianization and public space. Urban villages are seen to provide an alternative to recent patterns of urban development in many cities, especially decentralization and urban sprawl. They are generally purported to: Reduce car reliance and promote cycling, walking and transit use Provide a high level of self-containment (people working, recreating and living in the same area) Help facilitate strong community institutions and interaction The concept of urban villages was formally born in Britain in the late 1980s with the establishment of the Urban Villages Group (UVG). Following pressure from the UVG, the concept was prioritized in British national planning policy between 1997 and 1999. Urban villages also come in the form of suburbs of metropolitan areas that are politically designated as villages.
