AUROVILLE
H I S T O R Y
The Universal Township of Auroville was inaugurated on 28th February 1968 as a project of Sri Aurobindo Society
attended by delegates of 124 nations, in the presence of 5000 people Alfassa gave Auroville its 4-point Charter setting forth her vision of Integral living: Auroville belongs to nobody in particular. Auroville belongs to humanity as a whole. But to live in Auroville, one must be the willing servitor of the Divine Consciousness. Auroville will be the place of an unending education, of constant progress, and a youth that never ages. Auroville wants to be the bridge between the past and the future. Taking advantage of all discoveries from without and from within, Auroville will boldly spring towards future realizations. Auroville will be a site of material and spiritual researches for a living embodiment of an actual Human Unity.

AUROVILLE
The Government of India endorsed the township, and in 1966, UNESCO also endorsed it inviting the member-states to participate in the development of Auroville. governed by the Auroville Foundation through an act of the Indian Parliament. The Foundation is controlled by the Indian Government,
currently owns about half of the total land required for the township. The remaining lands are being purchased whenever funds are available. It is the Foundation, not the inhabitants, which owns the houses.
E X I S T I N G S C E N A R I O
AUROVILLE
originally intended to house 50,000 inhabitants form for the township was subdivided into four principal zones: Residential Zone International Zone Industrial Zone Cultural Zone
The relevance of Auroville to the country as a whole is to use all the researches carried out here diligently and with commitment, individually and collectively, in order to raise the overall quality of life.
actual population is 2,200 (1,553 adults and 454 minors), coming from 43 nationalities, 836 of whom are of Indian origin
community is divided up into neighborhoods with English, Sanskrit, French and Tamil names like Aspiration, Arati, La Ferme, and Isaiambalam
AUROVILLE
L O C A T I O N
an "experimental" township in Viluppuram district , Tamil Nadu, near Pondicherry
AUROVILLE
founded in 1968 by Mirra Alfassa (called "The Mother )
designed by architect Roger Anger "Auroville is meant to be a universal town where men and women of all countries are able to live in peace and progressive harmony, above all creeds, all politics and all nationalities.
The purpose of Auroville is to realize human unity."
R E G I O N A L S E T T I N G
AUROVILLE
Most of areas lies in Villupuram district and some part within the Union Territory of Pondicherry. Auroville's development is closely linked with the development of the surrounding region. The development models evolved in Auroville township, be it plantation, regeneration of land, water harvesting, building technology, etc., are benefitting the entire region. The land is generally of poor quality for agriculture and the entire area was identified as a backward area.
R E G I O N A L S E T T I N G
AUROVILLE
Township boundary is in the form of a circle of 2.5 km radius encompassing 20 sq. km area Village settlements designated area of the township Edayanchavadi, Irumbai, Kottakarai, Rayapudupakkam, Pettai and Alankuppam with a population of 8000 persons. on periphery of the township of Kuilapalayam, Acharampattu and Oddampalayam with population of 3,000 persons. Adjacent urban centers: Pondicherry city at 6km , with a population of about 4 lakh in south Tindivanam, with a population of over 60,000, is about 25 km to the north-west. Cuddalore town, further south of Pondicherry with a population of about 1.5 lakh.
Resources : Kaliveli tank, a unique environmental resource at 10 km towards north Ustery tank, source for irrigation towards south

AUROVILLE
CONSTRAINTS AND OPPORTUNITY OFFERED BY THE TOPOGRAPHY AND CLIMATE: The constraints, in the form of gullied, windswept barren lands generally considered unsuitable for urban development, have been used as opportunities for evolving the form of the township. The slopes radiating from the centre to the periphery provided a suitable location for Matrimandir as the centre of the township and also the soul of Auroville. The rocks and land forms helped in conserving and utilizing the rainfall run-off to convert this inhospitable site into a hospitable environment for the development of a human settlement in harmony with nature.

AUROVILLE
Out of 20 sq. km of the designated area of the township, about 12% is presently developed for urban uses and the rest is under agriculture, plantation and other nonurban uses. the early residents with their hard work in collaboration with villagers built check dams across canyons, put up a large number of bunds to check soil erosion, and planted and reared trees in large numbers. Over two million trees were planted during the last 32 years. A good part of this work was carried out with support from Government of India projects such as Waste Land Regeneration, Watershed Management and Reforestation projects. All this contributed in regenerating the barren land into a productive and developable site for urban and green uses.

Tarred roads connects the East Coast Road and TindivanamPondicherry road with village settlements, internal gravel roads, footpaths and cycle tracks. The existing road pattern is comprised of one circular road around the centre of the township and another semi-circular road passing along the periphery (outer circle) of the designated area of the township.
AUROVILLE
Both the inner and the outer circular roads are connected by radial roads. internal roads are of a temporary nature giving access to residential communities and public facilities. The gravel roads are about 10 m. wide. The surface of road has been kept as gravel to allow percolation of rainwater for re-charging the aquifers.
AUROVILLE R O A D N E T W O R K
NEED OF IMPROVED ROAD NETWORK Conceptually these are maintained as pedestrian roads, but slow moving traffic consisting of cycles and scooters is slowly and steadily increasing. With the increase of tourists and visitors to the Matrimandir area, the motorized traffic consisting of cars and buses also increased, particularly on holidays and weekends. Apart from missing links in the outer circular road in the eastern part of the township, the road network in the township is devoid of street furniture, signage and indicators. Geometrics of the major linkages to the township both from the East Coast road and the Tindivanam-Pondicherry road, as well as of the internal roads, access and approaches need to be improved.

1. Embarked upon several innovations assisting human development 2. help other cities in India and other countries experiencing high urbanisation trends. 3. It would demonstrate how 'urban' and 'rural' areas can complementarily develop in an integral and holistic way for their mutual benefit 4. The approach of the Master Plan is to establish that economic and human intellectual resources, which normally gravitate to urban areas, can be effectively used to plan development more evenly and to create an equitable and economically sound society. 5. It is Auroville's concept, therefore, to build a City that will economise on land needs by introducing development approaches with an optimum mix of densities but not sacrificing the appealing urban forms or required amenities. 6. The surrounding Green Belt will be a fertile zone for applied research in the sectors of food production, forestry, soil conservation, water management, waste management, village development and other areas essential for sustainable development.

SERVICE NODES PRIMARY SECONDARY
These service nodes are provided in the Green Belt were proposed at the intersection of the four main access roads linking the township and the City area.
AUROVILLE
Average rainfall of around 120 cm/annum In spite of such a good amount of rainfall, the water situation in the region is not satisfactory because, 1. excessive runoff, 2. Limited surface storage 3. Inadequate knowledge of aquifer storage areas 4. Evaporation losses There is adequate potential for groundwater supply of good-quality potable water Can be get from tube wells and open well. Runoff itself when harvested is estimated between 7.70 million cu.m and 2.84 million cu.m giving an average of 5.28 million cu.m.

AUROVILLE
Each of the principal zones will be supplied from local tube wells located in the particular zone itself or in the Green Belt adjoining the zone.
1. Auroville has been experimenting with septic tanks, Imhoff tanks. 2. Restricted only for the Industrial and Residential Zones to avoid contamination of groundwater. 3. The approach to sanitation will be through the use of a variety of night soil disposal methods
1. A storm water drainage system will be provided to fully support the "zero runoff" concept. 2. In addition, Auroville is exploring rooftop water harvesting. 3. Collecting the excess runoff within the Green Belt and pumping it out to a central lake that is to be created.
AUROVILLE
Efficient collection and recycling of both organic and non-organic wastes. Incinerable wastes are burnt at 800C in a two-chambered LPG-fuelled incinerator solid waste management will include: 1. Finding practical and ecological packing alternatives to reduce nondegradable wastes. 2. Sorting wastes at source into 5 or 6 streams - paper, plastic, metal, glass, organic, batteries, etc. 3. Converting recyclable wastes into useful products. This would include conversion of compostable material to soil enrichers. 4. Using building debris as road / building material. 5. Using incinerable wastes to generate electricity. 6. Scientific and safe disposal of bio-medical and hazardous wastes.
AUROVILLE
1. Initiate and promote the "zero-garbage" concept to the maximum. 2. Hence no dumping or sanitary landfill and Transportation of solid waste for disposal will also be minimal.
1. Auroville has been experimenting from the beginning with the use of renewable energy sources such as sun and wind 2. Auroville's vision is to become energy independent and self-sufficient, with all its energy requirements met from renewable sources. 150 houses use solar photovoltaic electricity 140 solar water pumping systems and 30 wind pumps are in operation Specially designed ferro-cement biogas systems to produce methane gas for cooking and organic fertilizer.
CITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN Solar Energy Bowl
