What is AUPDR?

In the five decades since its inauguration in 28th February 1968, Auroville has evolved various structures and methodologies to plan the township. The data on this aspect of Auroville has been collated, organized and classified in this website as a tool and resource for Auroville planning bodies, so that they might have an historical overview to understand the present while planning the future. The documents collected from various sources was verified by a group of Aurovilians who have been involved in its planning and development.
