    Institute of Town Planners, India Journal 12 x 3, July - September 2015 Editorial The first paper in the series written by Ankita Singh on the theme ‘Better Health with Plants: A Forgotten Wisdom’ begins by pointing out that inadequate ventilation leads to poor air quality which could be the main reason for more pollutants getting indoors resulting in stressful life, depression, and less work efficiency. This study establishes that overall indoor air quality can be improved with the help of common houseplants. Plants can reduce toxic pollutants from outdoor as well as indoor sources by producing fresh air required for adequate ventilation. Species of plants have also been mentioned in this paper, which may represent a long term, low cost, and an attractive solution to reducing exposure to many contaminants and lifetime risks, and further improve work performance, life quality and welfare of citizen occupants of building. This study also shows that this is an important public health issue, especially as it promotes human health by increasing life expectancy in a more natural and sustainable way. The second paper focuses on the city as a contested place, a place marked by social and cultural conflicts. Appropriately titled ‘Place of Social and Cultural Diversity in Planning Theory’, this paper is written by Ashok Kumar. The author argues that cultural diversity has remained one of the core concerns of planning theory since the inception of the subject in early 1900’s. Theories of internal city structure emanating from the Chicago School of Urban Sociology made culture as the significant explanatory element of the growth of a city.
