Critical Understanding

This paper intends to offer a critical understanding of citizen engagement in the process of city making using two case studies within the Indian context, namely, Magarpatta City in Maharashtra and Auroville in Tamil Nadu. As an initial foray into the issue, it engages with contemporary discourses on the scope and nature of public participation in urban development within the framework of a neoliberal economy. This is followed by a qualitative analysis based on unstructured interviews, which capture the live experiences of the local landowners and residents in each location. The findings indicate that citizen engagement is instrumental in producing socially equitable urbanization. If harnessed well, it offers the possibility for an effective departure from the traditional state-market dynamics, which presently underlie forms of neoliberal urbanism in developing countries. This paper, therefore, makes the case for mainstreaming citizen participation for urban development as an attempt to create a sustainable built environment that caters to the needs of citizens.

Urban development consumes resources and therefore abolishes the ecological function of the natural environment. It generates the dilemma between urban development and environmental protection. Urban development cannot be halted for many reasons due to its importance to accommodate population growth, urbanization and economic development. Determinations to negotiate the dilemma between environmental protection and urban development have been undergoing for many years. One of the efforts is mesoscale ecological friendly technology concept where the function of natural environment could be maintained while letting progressive urban development to flourish. The study was conducted in secondary city in Peninsular Malaysia of Johor Bahru. The study was conducted by analysing secondary information obtained from relevant resources, by undertaking internet research on the applications of ecological friendly technology towards sustainability in developed and developing countries, and by observing the connection between urban development and environmental state. The findings show that by employing applied ecological friendly technology, the urban physical development can still be undergoing without substantial environmental impacts.
