• The result of this planning is a land use map or plan. The land on the map is
colored according to nature of use.
• Some land uses are aligned to major transport axis while other are
concentrated in nuclei.
SECTOR MODEL
Homer Hoyt (1895–1984) was a land economist, a real estate appraiser, and a
real estate consultant.
Sector Plan
A Sector Plan is a long-range plan for a specific geographic area of at least
15,000 acres in one or more local governmental jurisdictions. Local
governments—or combinations of local governments—may adopt Sector
Plans into their Comprehensive Plans.
• According to this model most major cities
evolved around the nexus of several
important transport facilities such as
railroads, sea ports, and trolly lines that
eminated from the city's center.
• It is a monocentric representation of
urban areas
• He posited a CBD around which other
land uses cluster
• But important factor is not distance from
CBD as in the concentric
• zone model, but direction away from CBD
• As growth occurs, similar activities stay in
the same area and extend outwards
Industry
• Industry follows rivers, canals, railroads, or roads
• Lower class workers work here. Paid little, bad
working conditions.
• Produces goods or other domestic products for
city
Low Class Residential
• Low income housing
• Near railroads that feed factories or
• Inhabitants tend to work in factories
• Live near industry to reduce transportation costs
• Pollution or poor environmental conditions due to
industry (traffic, noise and pollution make it cheap)
Middle Class Residential
• More desirable area because it is further from
industry and pollution
• Access to transportation lines for working people
who work in the CBD, making transport easier
• Largest residential area
High Class Residential
• Housing on outermost edge
• Furthest away from industry, Quiet, clean, less
traffic
• Corridor or spine extending from CBD to edge has
best housing.
A SECTOR PLAN IS INTENDED TO:
• Promote and encourage long-term planning (50 years) for future land uses
to meet conservation, economic development and agricultural needs
THE LTMP:
Features a framework map that generally depicts areas of conservation,
employment-oriented mixed use, agricultural and rural land uses and specifies
the allowable uses and limits within the four main land use categories
Identifies:
» Jobs and economic development activities
» How the land uses are distributed
» Water resource projects and conservation measures
» Transportation facilities and multi-modal transportation opportunities
» Public facilities, both regional and project-specific
» Housing diversity
» Potential impacts as they relate to the surrounding communities

CLIMATE CONDITIONS
• Gandhinagar has a tropical wet and dry climate with three main
seasons: summer, monsoon and winter.
• The climate is generally dry and hot outside of the monsoon season

URBAN DESIGN
ROUTES OF MOVEMENT
GROWTH PATTERN
• The developtment of city
first started near the
capital complex which is
suitated in the centre
• Villages around the site
developed as the
residential nodes with
rapid transit to CAPITOL
COMPLEX at the centre.
• The city has been planned in GRID IRON METHOD
• It is a highly structured city and has orderes street grid patterns.
• It was built by taking inspiration from CHANDIGARH, BHUBANESHWAR.
• The major factor which creates traffic problems in our country is the mixture
of slow and fast. Complete segregation of the two is achieved by a traffic
system ensuring relatively safer and swifter passage for both.
• the system consists of a grid (1 km. x 0.75 km.) of motor roads and another
grid (1 km. x 0.75 km.) of cycle pedestrian ways superimposed on each other
so that each residential community is served by motor roads on the periphery
and cycle ways within it.
