A Science city can be placed where two types of people come. One category is the crowd coming for enjoyment and purpose of recreation just like any museum. The other type of crowd that comes to the place is mostly the children and school students. The design priorities are given to the organized school trips because these are the crowd those will get maximum benefit out of the project in the form of knowledge.
Many methods are used to bring science closer to people. Many attempts are being made to create interests among the people. A science center is a place which not only entertains the visitor but also plays a significant role in improving their knowledge. A science center exhibits many informative and interesting elements. On the other hand the purpose of science city is also same but the scale changes in this case so as effectiveness. It carries few buildings those are again complimented by some interesting landscaping elements. In most of the science cities the basic building elements those present are a space theater, an evolution park and a main exhibition hall to exhibit the elements. A whole building runs to achieve a certain aim that is to educate and entertain the visitors. The science museums in India is maintained and coordinated by the NCSM (National Council of Science Museums). Under this council there are 27 museums running successfully in different parts of India and many more under the process of development.
