Abstract

This article examines the city of Nagpur in India in the context of a compact city. The development concept is theoretical elements of the compact city. It tries to analyze the physiological aspects. The compactness of cities often refers to urban sustainability achieved by dense, mixed neighborhoods which make the city more livable. Today the developing cities have an adverse impact as they occupy large areas, convenient transport facilities are promoting the urban sprawl to spread over the large urban area. Compact city concept is one of the sustainable development approaches to restrict the impact of urban sprawl on the environment. There is a huge difference between the city characteristics around the world as compared to India. This paper reviews the compact city concept and tries to explore its impact on sustainable development in the Indian context.
