Abstract

India’s urban population increase is creating pressure on the urban green open spaces. The overall city-level per capita open space is considered as a benchmark of the open space. The open space of Patna is 2.43 sq m per capita, but at the community level or ward level, there is a lacuna. So, there is a significant gap in open space distribution at the city level and the micro level, that is, ward or block level. An assessment was carried out on three parameters, i.e., quantity, accessibility, and quality. Open space, catchment area, and vegetation cover were used as independent variables, and population density and ward area as dependent variables, to understand the distribution at the ward level, that is, community level. Distribution was analyzed by Pearson correlation between the independent and dependent variables within three parameters. The open space distribution between three meso-level areas based on the growth pattern was analyzed with the help of linear regression and R-squared tests to compare the distribution between the areas. The result shows that Patna has poor distribution in the old and new areas. The developed areas in between have good distribution at the micro level and meso level. Patna has 2.3 sq m per capita as per the proposed open space plan and projected population of 2030, which is less than the standard 3.16 sq m/capita at the community level and 3.66 sq m/capita at the district level.
