For such a vast city, Pune has a proportionally huge population but limited living areas. Yet new buildings are being built every day, the city is expanding, and care is taken to encourage and embrace organic living communities throughout the city.
What makes a community, in particular, be recognised as organic living? The following are the attributes that an organic living community will have without fail –
1. Green building practices that encompass the whole living space –
Green building practices such as rainwater harvesting, solar energy and overall energy management, proper waste management and water system management. These measures, when put into practice, can make your living spaces more environmentally friendly and more economically sustainable in the long term.
2. Nature in every corner, at every bend –
For organic living, touches of nature everywhere are an absolute must. That may take the form of small gardens, natural pathways, nature spots, and shades and types of greenery throughout the buildings, from potted plants to creepers to full-grown trees. This green colour must seep into the architecture to make a living space organic.
3. A very concentrated focus on community –
Living organically also means living together in harmony. Communal spaces that can be shared and enjoyed by everyone are essential to creating a sustainable living space. It’s where the community gathers to engage in harmonious events and celebrations. In an organic living communities, a family is not alone but together with so many others, making for a far bigger family.
Areas in Pune where buildings have a higher chance of having these distinctive features, marking them as organic living spaces, are –
1. Bhugaon in West Pune:
Quickly emerging as a green zone with its surrounding greenery and sparse developments, Bhugaon, situated in the west of Pune, is quickly becoming a treasure trove of inherently organic living communities. With views of the lofty green trees and mountainside, it is also relatively breathable, with lower pollution levels than the city center. It is relatively easy to incorporate a wellness-oriented lifestyle in this area and make the buildings more organic.
2. Mulshi and Bhor on the outskirts of Pune:
These areas are full of farmhouses and make for splendid scenery along the Mulshi River. While there are very few projects around here, as it is more of a farming land used extensively for organic farming, this is a place where organic living can be pursued as solo homeowners, but without the communal harmony of bigger projects.
3. Hinjewadi (west Pune’s IT hub):
This area is truly the best place for young professionals and those who are up and coming in the IT world. The projects here advertise their commitment to sustainable living through all green building practices. The projects are larger, with ample green areas that make one feel the touch of nature.
Thus, these are the areas that are exceptionally proficient at building structures that have the potential to become living, breathing organic spaces. Kumar Builders is one company that has recognized this desire among its customers and has many projects in these areas suited to its wellness-seeking clients. Life should be spent in the best company.
