摘要：With the onset of rapid population growthand urbanisation levels in India, significant amount of population will be living in urban areas. As existing cities are already densely populated with limited infrastructure, the emergence of townships in the vicinity of urban areas offers great potential for accommodate them. Townships have thus become an important means of sustaining urbanisation in India. This paper discusses the emergence of township development in Pune city and its neighbouring areas by performing an analysis of existing townships as cases. The salient features and major advantages of these townshipsare discussed in detail. The paper finds that the township development in Pune has been rather evolutionary: from ‘satellite townships’ that were based on the concept of ‘counter magnet settlements’, to ‘integrated townships’ that were based on the concept of ‘sustainable development’, and further to ‘smart townships’ which use the principles of ‘new urbanism’. The paper therefore brings about how such evolution of township development can be replicated by other Indian cities to achieve the urbanisation and urban development.
