Self Sufficient Towns n bangalore

Self sufficient townships is the answer to Bangalore traffic woes

As some one who travels around 90kms to work, I often wonder is there a better way to city planning? I am sure others who travel lesser but end up traveling for long hours share the pain. As the city admin grapples (atleast gives an impression that it cares) I realize that it is not just me who suffers but I also end up straining so much of the city resources. So can something be done which is a win a win?
I think the solution lies in going for self sufficient townships, but before we discuss let me tell you that this idea is as old as Nehruvian era. Many defense establishments are built in such a way. They have all the facilities like schools (KV), Banks (SBI), hospital and even cinema halls. Jalahalli in North Bangalore is a perfect example.
Building self sufficient townships in Bangalore is easier said then done. When the city is still developing, and there are many vacant areas city planning is easier. So how does one build self sufficient towns for work place like electronic city? It’s a tough question and a city planning expert can better respond, but here is my two cents:
1) Do a quick poll from the people working in E-City who all would like to settle in this part of Bangalore if they are provided all the facilities which they would want (like the ones listed above). Also ask them what one additional facility they would want.
2) Asses the existing housing facilities in a radius of 6-8 kms in Electronic city.
3) Get a list of facilities which are in excess, deficient; add the most wanted facility from #1.
4) Pass a govt legislation to slow down excess facilities and encourage the deficient ones. Have a 10 yrs horizon when you do this.
5) Discourage coming up of more offices in the self sufficient area.
6) Provide mass transport during weekends to other parts in the city.
7) Encourage and provide use of non polluting transport inside the area during week days. Have shuttle buses
8) Before finalize all this, engage the public through workshops and proposal discussions.
