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 penetrates into the<br />
city centre from the crown road leading to a common<br />
basement parking <strong>for</strong> the vocational training area.<br />
3 radial service roads enters below the high rise buildings<br />
of the industrial zone of which one will continue<br />
onwards further into the city centre’s administrative<br />
area.<br />
The buildings of the vocational training area are internally<br />
served through a lively pedestrian ‘street’ with<br />
buildings on each side, and occasionally spilling on to<br />
open public spaces.<br />
In addition shaded and occasionally raised walkways<br />
and ramps provide vertical connection to the ‘streets’<br />
on the upper levels.<br />
The vocational training area is well linked to the city’s<br />
green network so that all buildings are also provided<br />
direct access to pedestrian and bicyclists who prefer to<br />
use these routes.<br />
