Of courtyards and gardens
The HinduUrban design is the process of designing and shaping the physical form of cities, towns, and villages, and determining the use of land, infrastructure, and public spaces. This design element has been incorporated into modern design, with many new buildings and public spaces featuring green areas and courtyards that provide a respite from the hustle and bustle of city life. By drawing on the lessons of ancient Indian urban design, modern urban planners and architects can create cities that are not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing and culturally relevant. Many politicians and policymakers prioritise short-term economic gains over long-term sustainability goals, which can hinder the implementation of sustainable urban design solutions.
