Review of environment responsiveness of building regulations in Jaipur

Building regulations in Jaipur, India, are found to be inadequately responsive to the city's unique geo-climatic and socioeconomic conditions, which pose significant challenges for sustainable urban development. The study highlights a general lack of tailored regulatory interventions that address the specific environmental demands of Jaipur's diverse climate zones and resource availability. Researchers analyzed existing building codes and by-laws, revealing a prototypic approach to urban planning in India that often overlooks local ecological and socioeconomic nuances. The findings underscore the need for context-specific regulations to ensure resilience and sustainability in urban landscapes.
