2. INTRODUCTION
• The satellite city is one of the popular concepts in the urban planning.
• It is the small metropolitan area is located near to the large metropolitan area.
• The satellite town has the traditional downtown that surrounded by the neighborhoods of
inner city.
• It is the concept of the satellite that the man made satellite was launched into the orbit.
• The satellite city or satellite town manages the urban sprawl. The satellite town provides
best solution to the urbanisation problems.
• The satellite city or satellite town manages the urban sprawl. The satellite town provides
best solution to the urbanisation problems.
• The satellite town is designed to help the city extend in the effective way.
• It is planned city that loaded with the huge range of the amenities such as school, hospital,
shopping center and others.
• The satellite town is separated from the metropolis by the geographic barrier, territory and
others such as river.
• The main purpose of the satellite city is to offer the balance between the resources and
population.
3. • There are many large metropolitan cities all over the world.
• Cities like Delhi, New York, London, Sydney, Los Angeles, Mumbai, Shanghai, Beijing,
and Rio de Janeiro have large populations.
• There are hundreds of cities all over the world today that have populations of more than a
million people.
• Some cities have populations over 20 million people.
• These are extremely large metropolitan areas in various different parts of the world.
• Satellite Cities are metropolitan cities that are smaller cities that are near large cities but
are not part of the large city near them and have a separate local government and are
characterized as separate cities.
• The satellite city is not part of the greater metropolitan area of the large city that it is
situated close to but the larger city near the satellite city definitely has an influence on its
satellite city.
• The satellite town is developed with the eco-friendly development. It is self-containing and
independent cities.
SATELLITE CITYT
4. • The main aim of satellite town is to develop the affordable housing for the huge section of the
society. The satellite town should be able to accommodate the smart generation to assure the
systematic development.
• The government agencies are designed the satellite town by considering various factors such as
security, rounded plan, heavy capital and others.
• The security is one of the important factors to consider when planning the satellite city.
• The safety of the people is primary concern for the planner. In the smart city planning process,
the security issues should be carefully ingrained that allow them to build the quality residential
project to the people.
• The planner should also consider the demographic factors such as education centers, population,
socio-economic conditions, and others.
5. CHARACTERISTICS OFA SATELLITE CITY
•The basic characteristic of a satellite city is that it is a smaller city near a large metropolitan
city which has its own local government and economy which is independent of the neighboring
large city.
•There are a lot of influences from the large city nearby on the satellite city. Satellite cities have
their own culture, own history, and their own independent economic infrastructure.
•The satellite cities are interconnected with the larger cities but are completely independent of
the large city nearby. Sometimes the large city nearby is called the parent city and these
satellite cities are locally known within the state but are not as famous all over the world as
much as the larger parent city nearby.
•atellite cities are not an extension of the large city nearby. Geographically there is a clear
distinction between a large parent city and a satellite city. This means that there is some area or a
few kilometers between the two cities. There is generally a small rural area between the large
parent city and the satellite city which completely separates the two cities.
•Satellite cities are not as developed as the larger cities nearby. The population of satellite cities
is much smaller than that of the larger cities nearby. Many amenities and infrastructural facilities
that are available in large cities nearby are not as prominent in the satellite cities. Residents of
satellite cities are known to travel regularly to the large city nearby for work, recreational and
other reasons.
6. •Labor force living in the satellite city travels daily to the large city for work purposes and satellite
cities provide manpower to major cities. As the property rates and cost of living are often lower in
satellite cities as compared to the parent city, many people find it affordable to live in the small
satellite city and work in the larger greater metropolitan area of the large city nearby.
•Students often travel to higher education institutions in the parent city as often quality educational
institutions are located in the large city nearby and not in the satellite towns or cities.
•The development and size of a satellite city are restricted and limited and it never matches or
exceeds the size of the large city nearby. Satellite cities have historically evolved on their own and
are not just an extension created for a large city to meet the need of a growing population. This
means these cities have their own history, their own downtown or historical old city areas and have
their own cultural identity.
•Many times, products and brands are marketed to these cities along with the large cities nearby.
This means that phone companies and other goods and services companies often include these
satellite cities in the zone or jurisdiction of the large metropolitan area nearby.
Often there are good transport services between the satellite city and the large parent city nearby.
Trains, buses, and road transport is swift, efficient and on time in between these two types of
cities as commuters from satellite cities often travel daily to the large city nearby for work, for
education and other economic, recreational and social activities.
7. NEED
• Severe uncontrolled growth of urban population.
• Problem in managing already over strained cities.
• Increase in the demand for infrastructure facilities and amenities.
• Land shortage ,housing shortfall, inadequate transportation.
• Challenges in management of essential infrastructure like.
1. water supply
2.sewerage
3.drainage
4.solid waste disposal
• Tremendous strain on the delivery of services in major cities due to the concentration of
economic activities and population.
• Need for decentralization of activities so as to reduce the burden on these cities.
8. SATELLITE CITY IN THE WORLD
•n Australia, Gold Coast in Queensland is a satellite city of Brisbane, Wollongong and Gosford is a
satellite city of Sydney.
•Satellite cities are a major factor in urban regions of the United States and Canada. Some major
satellite cities in the U.S include Bel Air, Bridgeport, Fort Collins, Fort Lauderdale, New Haven,
Rockford, Riverside, San Bernardino, Santa Cruz, Tacoma, Worcester and Brentwood among others.
In Canada, some satellite cities include Hamilton, Kitchener, and Sorel-Tracy among others.
•In India, there are many satellite towns near major cities like Thane, Panvel, Salt Lake City,
Ghaziabad, Navi Mumbai, and Hitec City among others.
•Satellite cities are there all over the world in Asia, Europe, South America and Africa wherever
there are major cities and urban areas.
Satellite City is a good choice to live in near a major city as it is a smaller and more affordable
version of the major city nearby.
IMPORTANCE OF THE SATELLITE CITY
• Today, the satellite towns are gaining more popular among the people.
• The satellite towns are provided the solution to the problem.
• It is the part of the larger metropolitan cities, but totally independent of the urban area. The
satellite towns offer the living, and commercial space. It offers shopping mall, educational center
and others to the residents.
• The satellite towns maintain the services, self-contained economies and others, while
being interconnected with the closely located metropolitan areas.
• The bedroom communities, suburban areas and others are less self-contained through the suburban
sprawl.
9. BENEFITS OF SATELLITE CITY
• The people who are looking to invest in the real estate sector the Satellite cities are the perfect
choice.
• It is closely located to the workspace, social infrastructure and others. There are huge range of the
benefits of investing in the Satellite cities such as affordable housing, well-infrastructure, and
others.
• It offers the high- quality of living experience to the residents. It offers the road connectivity,
water, electricity, drainage and important amenities.

housing with the great facilities.
• The satellite towns offer the scientific balance between the resources and population. It offers the
eco-friendly environment to the residents.
