Why need Master Plans

The proper management of urban areas calls for accurate and

vital information to be available on a regular basis in order to

formulate a spatial planning framework

for orderly and systematic development.

Master Plans – Key functions

• To guide development of a city is an orderly manner so as to improve the quality of life of its citizens.

• Organize and coordinate the complex relationships between urban land uses.

• Chart a course for growth and change, be responsive to change and maintain its validity over time

and space, and be subject to continual review.

• Direct physical development of the city in relation to its social and economic characteristics based

on comprehensive surveys and studies on the present status and the future growth prospects; and

• Provide a resource mobilization plan for the proposed development..

• Facilitates the orderly and planned development of cities in a sustainable manner, and

ultimately help in good governance.

Master Plans - Key Challenge

• At present, hardly a third of the urban centers have some sort of a Master Plan, which in many cases is just a policy document.

• Many master plans have been prepared by Agencies but their implementation is not encouraging.

• Preparation of Plans takes an inordinately long time which makes the base-line data outdated.

• Non-availability of latest base maps resulted in great difficulties in field data collection.

• Lack of any adequate system of maintaining a data base hampered the informed decision by the local authorities.

• Manual graphic presentations were difficult to comprehended by implementing authorities

• Since there was no efficient system of data storage and retrieval, the monitoring and sharing of plans was extremely difficult.

• The need has emerged to prepare Master Plan using State of Art Technology

AMRUT & Smart City Initiatives

• The key objective is to improve quality of life of the Citizens.

• It calls for creation of required infrastructure and build amenities for the Citizens

• This infrastructure should meet following requirements leading to provision of better services :

- water supply,

- sewerage facilities and septage management,

- storm water drains to reduce flooding,

- pedestrian, non-motorized and public transport facilities, parking spaces, and

- enhancing amenity value of cities by creating and upgrading green spaces, parks and recreation centers

• Under this Mission, five hundred (500) cities to be taken up having population > 1 Lakh including

• SLIP (State Level Improvement Plan) and SAAP (State Annual Action Plan) were prepared for implementation

of desired Reforms

• The key requirement is to prepare GIS based Master Plans to improve efficiency & standardization
