Pubblici spazi , uno dei componenti inevitabili delle città per secoli, sono diventati oggetto di preoccupazione Broad per più di due decenni (Carr et al, 1992;. Francis, 1987; Madanipour, 2000;) A partire dal 1980, gli spazi pubblici hanno anche sempre stato usato come componenti chiave della città-vendita e programmi di risanamento urbano in Gran Bretagna (Crilley, 1993; Goodwin, 1993; Hall e Hubbard, 1996). India è una struttura informale, che si tratti di urbanistica, sistema di governo o anche il quadro pubblico. Il modello informale ha i suoi pro e contro, ma a causa dell'introduzione della struttura formalizzata principalmente per nuovo sviluppo di complessi Office e IT parchi vi è un fattore di diminuzione di questo pattern.According informale a stime recenti, la crescita della popolazione in Pune è del 12% ogni anno. E ancor più afflusso è visto di I.T. aziende e I.T. professionisti provenienti da tutta l'India per lavoro e università. Pune ha circa 240 I.T. aziende e circa 10 I.T. parchi a Pune e ancora di più in arrivo entro il 2020 Questi IT parchi sono progettati tenendo in considerazione il costruttore privato e tale pensiero per il pubblico viene mantenuta. Hinjewadi a Pune è un esempio che si occupa di un modello di crescita simile in termini di struttura pubblica. Spazi pubblici proprietà privata diminuisce la natura pubblica dello spazio pubblico, limitando l'interazione sociale, limitando le libertà individuali, ed escludendo le pop- olazioni indesiderabili. Questa tesi esplora il cambiamento 'inclusività' di uno spazio pubblico di recente sviluppato nella città di Pune attraverso un'ampia IT sviluppo parco e cerca di colmare il divario di introdurre sfera pubblica in un parco ufficio di proprietà privata. Il concetto di struttura deriva dalla parola 'Agora', che è stato considerato come un luogo per creare scambio, condividere pensieri e godere di convenienza attraverso il commercio. (Mitchell, 1995).L'evoluzione degli spazi pubblici in India è stata un fenom- eno grande, dove in un albero Banyan diventa un luogo di ritrovo sociale per un enorme ampia strada di Janpath, Nuova Delhi diventando il (Public) Lo spazio urbano. Recentemente a causa della rapida urbanizzazione nella maggior parte delle città indi- ane c'è stato un cambiamento nel modello di spazio pubblico e di rete, conseguente ad un cambiamento nello spazio pubblico attraverso la forma di centri commerciali urbani, che sono dotate di aria condizionata per dare un ambiente confortevole. Questi centri commerciali urbani stanno prendendo il nuovo spazio urbano in termini di stile di vita emerse della IT settore. In questa tesi mi indagare i modelli esistenti e le nuove forme di reti di spazi pubblici nella emergente IT settore di India. Il caso di Hinjewadi, il più grande I.T. hub a Pune sarà esaminato in termini di espansione e di come lo spazio pubblico interviene consid- erando il modello di spazio pubblico esistente a Pune.

Abstract
Public spaces, one of the inevitable components of cities for centuries, have become subject to Broad concern for more than two decades (Carret al., 1992; Francis, 1987; Madanipour, 2000;) Starting from the 1980s, public spaces have also increasingly been used as the key components of city-selling and urban regeneration programmes in Brit- ain (Crilley, 1993; Goodwin, 1993; Hall and Hubbard, 1996). India is an informal structure, be it city planning, governmental system or even the public framework. The informal pattern has its own pros and cons, but due to the introduction of formalised structure mainly due to new development of Office complexes and I.T. parks there is a diminishing factor of this informal pattern.According to recent estimates, the population growth in Pune is 12% every year. And an even more influx is seen of I.T. companies and I.T. professionals coming from all over India for jobs and colleges. Pune has around 240 I.T. companies and around 10 I.T. parks in Pune and even more coming up by 2020. These I.T. parks are designed keeping into consideration the private builder and no such thought for the public is maintained. Hinjewadi in Pune is such an example which deals with a similar growth pattern in terms of the public structure. Privately owned public spaces diminishes the publicness of public space by restricting social interaction, constraining individual liberties, and excluding undesirable popula- tions. This thesis explores the changing ‘inclusivity’ of a recently developed public space in city of pune through an extensive I.T. park development and tries to bridge the gap of introducing Public realm in a privately owned office park. The concept of Public spaces comes fromthe word ‘Agora’,which was considered as a place to create exchange, share thoughts and enjoy convenience through trade. (Mitchell, 1995).The evolution of public spaces in India has been a big phenomenon , where in a Banyan tree becomes a social gathering place to a huge wide road at Jan- path, New Delhi becoming the Urban (Public) space. Recently due to rapid urbanization in most of the Indian cities there has been a change in the public space pattern and net- work, resulting to a change in public space through the form of urban malls which are air conditioned to give a comfortable environment. These urban malls are taking over as the new urban space in terms of the lifestyle emerged of the I.T. sector. In this thesis I will investigate the existing patterns and the new patterns of Public space networks in the emerging I.T. sector of India. The case of Hinjewadi, the biggest I.T. hub in Pune will be looked atin terms of its expansion and how public space intervenes con- sidering the existing public space pattern in Pune.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
