This project called "Humanscapes Habitat" is a mixed-use development in Auroville, India that aims to demonstrate sustainable and integrated urban living. It includes residences, community spaces, and workspaces built with local and low-embodied energy materials. The development seeks to be net energy positive by generating its own renewable energy and implement sustainable water and waste practices. It also aims to foster social interaction between residents and integrate living and working arrangements to reduce travel needs. The project establishes a knowledge sharing network to disseminate lessons learned.

Zero-discharge of water, reduction, and recycling of solid waste, drought-resistant local endemic species landscaping and growing organic food as a model for urban agriculture would be a hallmark of this project. Reducing point to point travel by integrating work and living spaces, using integrated community and IT infrastructure (ICITI), and using clean mobility options like e- vehicles for external contact will be a natural consequence of the campus set-up. • The human ecology, using the principles of “Cohousing” concept of living, facilitating interaction among neighbors for inclusive social development, economic and environmental benefits. A functional fusion, the living, working, recreational and primary amenities allowing a multiplicity of space usage to reduce the built- up area to enable the inhabitants to interact actively with the farming and productive landscaping, waste recycling and energy generation as part of the open learning campus. • Establish a collaborative network of knowledge resources called ‘SustaiNet’, to facilitate further dissemination. This network will enable inter- institutional knowledge sharing and dissemination, a platform for academics, students and professionals to have an inclusive learning experience during and after completion of the project.
