Master Plan :
The Master Plan is a statutory document envisaged for orderly

and systematic development of urban areas for horizon year.
It is essentially a land use and network with regulations to

control the intensity of use with provision for mid-term
appraisal/review. The master plan is both process and product
oriented.
The proper development and management of urban areas calls

for accurate and vital data to be made available on a periodic
basis in order to formulate a responsive spatial planning
framework
The Functions of the Master Plan :
To guide development of a city 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 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.
The implementation of the master plan thus facilitates the
orderly and planned development of cities in a sustainable
manner and ultimately help in achieving good governance.
The major contents of the Master Plan
Physical characteristics and natural resources,

City influence area / hinterland & Settlement System
Demography
Economic base including employment in formal and
informal sectors
Housing and shelter
Social infrastructures (health & education)
Transport network (road, railway, water ways and
airways)
Utilities & services ( water supply, drainage and
sewerage, solid waste management and energy)
Land use
Resource mobilization and Investment Plans.
Formulation of a Master Plan
The detailed Methodology for formulation of Master plans
for urban settlements has been spelt out in the Urban
Development Plans Formulation and
Implementation(UDPFI) Guidelines, 1996. The broad
contents are:
Existing conditions and development issues;

Projected requirements and assessment of deficiencies;
Development aims and objectives
Development proposals
Resource mobilization proposals;
Implementation
Monitoring and review.
Status of Master Plans
The momentum in Master Plan Formulation was generated
during the Third Five Year Plan (1961-66) when Central
Government provided 100% financial assistance to the State
Governments to set up Town and Country Planning Departments
for preparation of comprehensive master plans for the fast
growing cities and towns under a legislative framework based on
the Model Law formulated by TCPO.
7935 Towns/Cities as per 2011 Census.
Master/Development Plans have been prepared for 1233
Towns/Cities and in progress 657 Towns.
Shows that only 24% Towns have Master/Development Plans.
Inordinate Delay in Plan Formulation
The procedure, by which Master Plans are formulated, is lengthy and time
consuming. The entire process of plan preparation and its approval by State Govts,
takes between three to five years in general, and often more. Such delays render the
entire exercise of Master Plan preparation obsolete, as the very basis of
information on which these plans are prepared becomes outdated by the time these
plans become implementable and as an outcome results in delays in Master Plan
formulation
Non-availability of latest base maps resulted in great difficulties in field data

collection.
Lack of adequate system of maintaining a data base hampered the informed
decision making by the local authorities.
Manual graphic presentations were difficult and thus were limited where as
production of maps and visual data can be more easily understood and
comprehended by common people.
No efficient system of data storage and retrieval, the monitoring of the master
plan was extremely difficult.
Data sharing and coordination among the line departments is very poor
THE NEED:
The need is for a comprehensive urban

information infrastructure, with spatial and
non-spatial database, at desired level and
available to all line departments
And there is a requirement to move towards an

urban planning system that is vibrant, flexible
and efficient and is backed by an information
support through State of Art Technology

THE BASE MAP
The most crucial pre-requisite for preparing a Plan is an

accurate and updated Base Map of the planning area
consisting of physical features, topography, drainage
pattern, water bodies,, road network, rail, forest area,
settlement areas spatial extent of development.
It is the basis for making rational planning decisions. Use

of Satellite Images, Aerial Photos and GIS can support this
very effectively and also help in quick analysis of land form,
soil, vegetation, settlement pattern etc. on the basis of
which strategies and proposals for a horizon year may be
developed.
