SynopsisHistorical records suggest the versatile Scottish urban planner, Sir Patrick A Geddes began his work towards the end of the year 1914 and submitted his report to `Durbar of Indore` in 1918. He is credited with introducing the concept of `region` to architecture and always advocated planning for open spaces and plantation of trees. Imagination when Indore`s Population was not even one lakh, this forward-looking scholar-demographer had thought of public health, drainage, openness of the city. His plan document, therefore, must be read by today`s historians, students of architecture, urban planners and environmentalists to know how a city should be designed. His principals of planning still remain alarmingly relevant.
