Review:
The tradition of town and country planning in India can be traced back to antiquity. Four Vedas i.e. Rigveda, Yajurveda, Samaveda, and Atharvaveda have several direct and indirect references to planning. It appears that modern town and country planning scholars have paid inadequate attention to our religious and philosophical heritage. As a pioneering effort, Sustainable Solution to Global Peace and Prosperity: The Vedic Village and City Planning penned by Niranjan Lal Mangla, this is one of those rare books in town and country planning which places the Vedic wisdom at the core of planning enterprise. This book success-fully demonstrates that many modern day challenges including the challenge of climate change could be handled through the Vedic principles. I expect this book to initiate a new movement in planning based on our traditional knowledge systems. --ASHOK KUMAR, MP (URP), PhD (University of Liverpool, UK) Professor of Planning, School of Planning and Architecture, Delhi.
