Abstract

A city is an area where a large population resides and is governed by a mayor and councillors. The population of a city is generally determined by the vibrancy of its economic activity and increases in proportion to the same. The growing population causes a strain on the civic amenities of the city. If the city's planning and governance are dealt with by a single authority, citizens' demands may be easily met. However, looking over today’s situation, great pressure owing to population growth and industrialization may be seen. Thus, several special planning agencies are carrying out their mandates in silos, resulting in discord. This indirectly impacts the city's urban form. This research intends to develop a single framework that can assimilate and integrate the roles and mandates of numerous planning bodies synergistically. For conducting empirical research, high-potential Aurangabad city has been identified as a site. However, the site's potential is wasted due to a lack of integration between these multiple agencies. This paper aims to utilize this potential by connecting physical, social, environmental, and economic aspects in conflict zones.
