The purpose of Auroville is to realize human unity – in diversity.
On 28th February 1968, 5,000 people assembled near the banyan tree at the centre of the future township for an inauguration ceremony attended by representatives of 124 nations, including all the States of India 02
ABOUT AUROVILLE “CITY OF DAWN”
Auroville is located in south India, in the State of Tamil Nadu and pondicherry, a few kilometres inland from the Coromandel Coast.
Today Auroville is recognized as the first and only internationally endorsed ongoing experiment in human unity and transformation of consciousness, also concerned with – and practically researching into – sustainable living and the future cultural, environmental, social and spiritual needs of mankind.

HUMANSCAPE
PROJECT GOAL The “HUMANSCAPES HABITATa project of Sustainable and Integrated Urban Living Project” benchmarking in habitat as a course correction for a sustainable and harmonious mode of development which is an imperative need in present global crisis of energy and climate change. This mixeduse development of residences, community and work space would be a touch stone for standards for low-embodied energy building. Using local building materials and skills, the residences become a net energy-positive habitat by generating its own energy, using renewable energy. Zero-discharge of water, recycling of solid waste, drought resistant local endemic species landscaping, and growing organic food as a model for urban agriculture would be a hallmark of this project.

Reducing point to point travel by integrating work and living spaces, using integrated community and IT infrastructure (ICITI), and using clean mobility options like evehicles for external contact will be a natural consequence of the campus set-up. The first cluster of the Humanscapes development was built using all of Auroville’s experience in high efficiency, low carbon footprint building. The cluster also boasts roof top solar energy and ultra high efficient electrical appliances, as well as an edible landscape to grow food.

MANAGEMENTWATER
Surface water management takes into consideration the rainfall distribution pattern, water harvesting in various forms for the re-charge of the aquifer, through inter-connected open water bodies, swales, holding tanks and pits. Manage different streams of rainwater separately viz. Rainwater from building roofs, terraces, paved areas and parking should be handled separately from rainwater from natural streams and gullies. Plant only drought resistant flora and vegetation, and

SEWAGETREATMENTWATER Zero-discharge of water, recycling of solid waste, drought resistant local endemic species landscaping, and growing organic food as a model for urban agriculture would be a hallmark of this project. The waste water is collected and treated so that it could be used in landscaping and also in flushing of the toilets. The water is beentreated by toiletkitchen 30
WASTE Waste is Segregated within each plot to the maximum extent possible. The location of waste collection centers is determined based on the population and waste generated. Identify and partner with the local collection is done/recycling agencies for waste collection and disposal. In the absence of such an agency, relevant micro-enterprises are established that also provide a means of income generation. APPROXIMATE WASTE GATHERED 31
