Author : Gagan R Gowda and Dr. Nischay N Gowda
Abstract
This paper examines the integration of Vaastu Shastra principles in urban planning to foster sustainable development and improve urban livability. Vaastu, an ancient Indian architectural science, emphasizes harmony with natural elements and energy flows. The study explores how these principles can inform contemporary urban design practices, enhancing environmental sustainability, cultural preservation, and community well-being. Through a comprehensive review of literature, case studies, and stakeholder perspectives, this research proposes strategies for integrating Vaastu Shastra into urban planning frameworks, offering insights into creating cities that are not only ecologically resilient but also culturally enriched.
