项目摘要

The focus of the research is the everyday life of children, young people and families living in spaces of New Urbanism in India. India's economic growth has been matched by rapid urban development in recent years; the urban landscape is being significantly re-modelled in line with the principles of New Urbanism - the creation of 'walkable,' diverse, inclusive, sustainable spaces where people will want to live both now and in the future. New large scale developments such as the case study community, Lavasa, are emerging to meet the demand for housing in the Indian context (c.300,000 residents). Future plans include the replication of Lavasa, providing homes to hundreds of thousands of families and individuals across the country, a move to attract individuals away from the clogged metropolitan cities of Delhi and Mumbai, to new urban environments. This research is a unique opportunity to gather empirical evidence of the day-to-day experiences, issues and needs of residents (children, young people and adults) living and moving through this new urban environment. The research is of international significance; current research into the lives of families in large scale, inclusive, sustainable communities is lacking, particularly in the context of an emerging superpower. The research predominantly uses qualitative research methods; however, an innovative mobile 'app' will be developed to further explore and map family mobility within the community. There are three interlinked strands to the research:Internationalising New Urbanism: Primarily, this strand aims to create a dialogue of exchange between those engaged in sustainable urbanism in the UK context (primarily those involved in the creation of 'sustainable communities', albeit on a smaller scale) and those creating new communities in India. What lessons can be learnt from applying the principles of New Urbanism (essentially American and European informed), are there specific design features and points of best practice which can be transferred between these communities and contexts? Sustainable design and mobility - everyday routines, transport and access: This strand will explore family mobility in the context of this new urban environment; a landscape which has been designed in line with principles of sustainability and effective transport use. How are residents moving through and interacting with their environment during their everyday routines? Given that its design has been planned so that 'all components of essential city life are located within walking distance,' is car use minimised within this context? Given the plethora of services and amenities Lavasa provides, how are these connected and used in the rhythm of everyday life? Efficient connectivity is a key principle of the urban infrastructure in Lavasa. This strand aims to explore the successes and limitations of Lavasa's connectivity.Nature and green space in a planned city: Following on from the previous objective, this strand aims to explore the impact of green and public space on the lives of children, young people and their families living in the community. Nature and green space are important and educational; they are interactive elements of the planned city. How are these spaces being used in the everyday life of residents? Are children and young people free to explore the nature and open space which has been planned into their neighbourhood?

研究的重点是生活在印度新城市主义空间中的儿童，年轻人和家庭的日常生活。近年来，印度的经济增长与快速的城市发展相匹配;城市景观正在根据新城市主义的原则进行重大重塑-创造“可步行”，多样化，包容性，可持续的空间，人们现在和未来都希望居住。新的大型开发项目，如案例研究社区Lavasa，正在出现，以满足印度背景下的住房需求（约30万居民）。未来的计划包括复制拉瓦萨，为全国数十万家庭和个人提供住房，此举是为了吸引人们离开德里和孟买拥挤的大都市，前往新的城市环境。这项研究是一个独特的机会，收集日常经验的实证证据，居民（儿童，年轻人和成年人）的生活和移动通过这个新的城市环境的问题和需求。这项研究具有国际意义;目前缺乏对大规模、包容性、可持续社区中家庭生活的研究，特别是在一个新兴超级大国的背景下。该研究主要使用定性研究方法;然而，将开发一个创新的移动的“应用程序”，以进一步探索和绘制社区内的家庭流动性。该研究有三个相互关联的部分：国际化新城市主义：首先，这一部分旨在在英国环境中从事可持续城市主义的人（主要是那些参与创建“可持续社区”的人，尽管规模较小）和那些在印度创建新社区的人之间建立交流对话。从应用新城市主义（主要是美国和欧洲的通知）的原则中可以学到什么经验教训，这些社区和环境之间是否可以转移特定的设计特征和最佳实践点？可持续设计和流动性-日常生活，交通和访问：这条线将探索在这个新的城市环境的背景下家庭流动性;景观设计符合可持续性和有效的交通使用原则。居民在日常生活中如何穿越环境并与环境互动？考虑到它的设计已经规划好了，“城市生活的所有基本组成部分都位于步行距离之内”，在这种情况下，汽车的使用是否会最小化？鉴于Lavasa提供的众多服务和设施，这些服务和设施如何在日常生活中联系和使用？高效的连通性是拉瓦萨城市基础设施的关键原则。城市规划中的自然和绿色空间：继上一个目标之后，这一部分旨在探索绿色和公共空间对社区中儿童、年轻人及其家庭生活的影响。自然和绿色空间是重要的和教育性的，它们是规划城市的互动元素。这些空间在居民的日常生活中是如何使用的？儿童和青少年是否可以自由地探索自然和已规划到他们社区的开放空间？
