Proposal for Auroville City Center. Anupama Kundoo architects. 2007
This proposal for Auroville City Center, was produced in 2007 by Anupama Kundoo and her team under the supervision of Roger Anger. It is based upon the Chief Architect's city plan for Auroville as envisioned by Mirra Alfassa, aka the Mother, with which Auroville was founded on 28 February 1968 in Tamil Nadu, India. This document was produced in order to initiate the development of the City Center with a population of 5000 inhabitants and take the first urban step towards realising Auroville. It serves as the basis to invite technical inputs and strategies for mobility, energy, water and other infrastructure in the direction of Auroville's defined vision and aims. The next phase would integrate technical inputs and propose the detail development plans. Documents referred to: Auroville Masterplan.

An underground vehicular access will penetrate into<br />
the city-center area from the crown road leading to<br />
common basement parking points <strong>for</strong> the habitat belt<br />
located under each of the areas assigned <strong>for</strong> common<br />
facilities of the habitat buildings .<br />
The habitat buildings will be internally served through<br />
a lively street with buildings on either side and spilling<br />
on to public open spaces.<br />
Smaller gardens will occur between buildings of an intimate<br />
scale while the two parks on either side of the<br />
habitat belts will take care of green spaces common to<br />
the entire residential area.<br />
There will be 4 sectors of housing areas which will be<br />
ground + 2 and occationally 3.<br />
In between these sectors are triangular spaces that accomodate<br />
the common facility buildings <strong>for</strong> the above<br />
sectors. For example parking , provisions, laundries,<br />
and cafeteria.<br />
green and open spaces extend from the street on<br />
either side between buildings as public spaces<br />
points of underground parkings<br />
