[Audio] The relationship between open-space provision and governance in Chandigarh and Gandhinagar, two planned cities in India, will be examined through a comparative analysis. This analysis will assess how policies and standards shape public green space and how governance arrangements affect implementation. The influence of per-capita open-space accessibility outcomes on institutional mechanisms will also be investigated. What policies and standards govern open space in each city, and how do governance arrangements affect implementation? Master plans, municipal rules, and development control regulations will be documented and analyzed to understand the design intent and governance capacity of each city. Key informant interviews with planners, civic officials, and NGOs will provide insights into the effectiveness of institutional arrangements. Robust design intent exists in both cities, but differing degrees of enforcement and local governance capacity are observed. Clearer protection regulations, city-level green inventories, and participatory management models are recommended to improve open-space governance. Existing studies highlight the need for comparative governance analyses linking policy instruments to on-ground outcomes across the two cities. The next step is to investigate the divergence between planned open-space area and user experience/quality in Chandigarh and Gandhinagar. On-site observational audits, user intercept surveys, and review of maintenance budgets and contracts will be conducted to examine how users perceive quality and accessibility of open spaces. How do users perceive quality and accessibility of open spaces, and what factors determine sustained use? Many well-sized spaces are found to be underutilized due to poor maintenance, lack of amenities, or safety concerns. Quality standards in regulations, ring-fenced maintenance funding, and community stewardship programs are suggested instruments. Operationalizing quality metrics and funding in policy documents is necessary. Examining the relationship between open-space provision and governance can inform policy and practice to improve the quality and accessibility of public green spaces in Indian cities..

[Audio] The legal frameworks governing urban blue-green spaces are critical in protecting them from human activities that could harm them. These frameworks must include provisions for the management and regulation of these spaces. Effective management and regulation require clear laws and regulations that are enforced consistently. In order to achieve this, there needs to be a strong legal system in place that protects these spaces from threats such as pollution, over-development, and habitat destruction. A well-designed legal framework should also provide incentives for sustainable land use practices and promote environmental stewardship. Furthermore, the legal system should be flexible enough to adapt to changing circumstances and allow for collaborative governance between different stakeholders..

[Audio] The importance of adapting planned open spaces in cities such as Chandigarh and Gandhinagar cannot be overstated. These cities have been designed with grandiose plans for their public spaces, but they lack the necessary infrastructure to support them. To address this issue, a participatory framework should be implemented to upgrade these spaces while respecting their heritage design and ecological goals. This framework would involve co-design workshops with local residents, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and government officials. The purpose of these workshops is to gather input from various stakeholders and ensure that any upgrades made are inclusive and respectful of the original design. To evaluate the effectiveness of these upgrades, pre-post use surveys and observational counts would be conducted. This would allow researchers to assess whether the upgraded spaces are being used more frequently and in a more meaningful way by the community. The expected outcomes of this framework would include practical, replicable upgrade strategies that respect the masterplan values and improve the overall usability of the public spaces. However, there are several challenges that need to be addressed. Existing gaps in governance, quality, and accessibility metrics, legal protection, and participatory processes must be filled. For instance, the lack of clear guidelines and regulations can lead to inconsistent and ineffective upgrades. Furthermore, it is essential to balance heritage goals with community-driven upgrades. Simply imposing top-down changes without considering the needs and preferences of the community can result in resentment and resistance. A balanced approach that takes into account both the historical significance of the space and the needs of the present-day users is crucial. In conclusion, adapting planned open spaces in cities like Chandigarh and Gandhinagar requires a thoughtful and collaborative approach. By implementing a participatory framework and addressing existing gaps in governance and participation, we can create public spaces that are not only beautiful and functional but also responsive to the needs of the community..
