SATELLITE CITIES

URBAN DESIGN
SEM 7
INTRODUCTION
Satellite cities are planned cities,
adjacent to a major city. Such cities
manage or contain the urban sprawl.
They are designed to help a
major city extend in all possible ways.
Satellite cities could be completely
standalone cities, developed outside
metros. They are self-containing,
independent cities, unlike a suburb
or a subdivision.

 provide a perfect balance between the
population and resources, with respect to

 Land shortage and inadequate transportation
 create affordable housing for a large section
of the society
 To expand civic facilities by urbanization to the
nearby and surrounding areas gradually.

CRITERIA FOR SELECTION OF
SATELLITE CITY

• Distance criteria: Cities and towns should be located

outside the metropolitan region and at a distance of
100 km from the parent city.
• Population criteria: Cities and towns with population
3 lakhs and above.
• Connectivity / Accessibility criteria: Cities and towns
located on specific growth corridor and high speed
connectivity to the mother city.
• Consideration of existing cities acting like counter
magnets: Plans and proposals are to be noted and
should have an inherent investment/ industrial base.

FEATURES OF SATELLITE CITIES
• Satellite townships have their own local government and
corporate life.
• They have all the necessary amenities and facilities
present within their limits except for a few purposes like
employment and sometimes education, they have to
depend on the main city i.e. the parent city.
• Transportation means such as buses, trains etc. all
connect the various satellite townships to the main city.
It is free to decide its economic, social and cultural
activities.
• Satellite townships generally develop beyond the green
belt of the city.
• It is mainly a residential area having only local shops,
schools for children, etc.
• Zoning regulations are not an issue in the development
of satellite townships.
• The workers living in a particular satellite may belong to
a labour force of a particular industry.
