Urban sprawl is a never ending process and is acting as a major challenge while dealing with the development of mega cities in the country. The driving force behind the creation of satellite town is deal with the issue of urban sprawl with unplanned dormitory settlements.
Satellite town Satellite town/city is a concept of urban planning. It is self-contained and limited in size, built in the vicinity of a large metro city. These are smaller municipalities that are designed to stop urban sprawl to the suburbs and to supplement and aid the large city’s planned expansion. Some live examples in India are metropolitan regions of NCR, Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata and Chennai.
Satellite towns differ from suburbs as they are separated from the central city by many kilometers. Little commuting activity but closely geared economic activity to those of central city is one of the major difference. On the other hand suburbs are joined with the center for commuting to or from the city. All the satellite cities are aimed to accommodate the over urbanization of mega cities and to open new investment opportunities to manufacturing as well as service sector industries.
Objectives of Satellite Towns-
Government Initiatives
Governments program such as ‘Urban Planning Initiatives’, ‘Smart Cities Mission’, are aimed at growth of Urban Satellite town in India. ‘Smart Cities Mission’2015 has announced 27 new cities around the country.
In addition to it, almost all the metropolitan cities are having towns serving as satellite towns; still proper planning and resource allocation is required to have desired outcomes from the peripheries. For instance, around Delhi, there are urban centers performing the services of satellite towns, e.g. Ghaziabad, Bhadurgarh, Faridabad, Sonipat, Gurgaon, Noida. Similarly around Kolkata, Kalyani, Barakhpur, Jadavpur, etc. several peripheral towns are closely linked with the city. In the end, government of India has a vision of modernizing the existing mid-sized cities into satellite towns of larger cities.
