Landscape Urbanism and Green Infrastructure in Bhopal: Integrating Ecological Resilience into Urban Design

One of the effects of urbanization in India is the high rate of ecological devastation; this is most justifiable in urban centers such as the city of Bhopal. The paper situates emergent ways of addressing these anomalies first from Urban Landscape Urbanism and then from Green Infrastructure, thus enabling the incorporation of ecological resilience into the design of cities. The research is based on a study of Bhopal’s botany, history, and sociocultural circumstances as connected to aspects of sustainable urban design potential that would reduce environmental stress as they enhance livability. Some of the treated subjects are the processes by which ecosystems can be reestablished into green infrastructure possibilities and strategic frameworks for constructing Bhopal (Benedict & McMahon, 2002).
