What does this research mean for the field?

Irrational development controls are a root cause of major urban maladies, and framing them objectively and rationally—as demonstrated by the city of Chandigarh—is essential for developing sustainable, safe, and livable cities. Novelty: ClaimNovelty.SYNTHESIS. Consensus alignment: ConsensusAlignment.NEUTRAL.

What question did this study set out to answer?

Evaluate the role, typologies, and impacts of development controls on urban form, using Chandigarh as a model to inform rational and sustainable city planning frameworks.

Overview

Case analysis examines development controls shaping the built environment in Chandigarh, highlighting the need for rational planning regulations to foster urban sustainability and livability.

Key Points

Evaluate the role, typologies, and impacts of development controls on urban form, using Chandigarh as a model to inform rational and sustainable city planning frameworks.
Conducted a conceptual and policy review of global development controls and their structural typologies.
Analyzed the implementation and architectural outcomes of development controls in the planned capital city of Chandigarh.
Identified irrational and poorly adapted development controls as a primary cause of urban disarray, compromised safety, and reduced environmental sustainability.
Showed how strict, systematic development controls in Chandigarh established a unified architectural vocabulary and structured spatial fabric.
Outlined strategic criteria for framing future development controls to maximize urban resilience, safety, and economic productivity.
