     Town Planning is aimed to bring social and economic well


    being of the mankind
     Healthy conditions

     Convenience

     Beauty
     To create healthy conditions and
    environments for all the people to live, to
    work, to play and relax

     To make the right use of land for the right


    purpose by proper zoning of land such as
    Residential, Commercial, Institutional and
    Recreational etc in order to plan structured
    development of the town
     To provide various social and physical infrastructural
    facilities like

     Recreational amenities (parks, playgrounds, stadium,


    theatres etc)
     Social, economic and cultural amenities
     Water supply
     Proper Sewage and Drainage Network
     Electricity
     Transport facilities etc.
     To preserve the individuality of the town by
    developing it on the most suited natural
    conditions

     To preserve the aesthetics in the design of


    all elements of the town, which includes
     Protection of natural greenery
     Architectural control on design of new buildings
    and conservation of buildings of historical
    importance
     There should be no haphazard method in the planning
    process

     Housing needs of various categories of people should be


    catered, so as to prevent the growth of slums

     Civic amenities like shopping centres, dispensaries, schools


    etc should be provided to the residents

     Adequate open spaces should be reserved for public


    recreation and for future expansion of the town
     The system of zoning should be strictly followed – the
    town should be divided into zones such as residential zone,
    commercial zone, industrial zone, recreational zone, etc.

     The growth of town should be controlled by the provision


    of green belt.

     This area can be used for agricultural purpose, recreational


    amenities like parks, playgrounds and picnic spots etc
     The main purpose of green belt is to prevent the
    urbanization beyond the outer periphery of the town
     After the industrial revolution took place in
    (1760-1820) the towns and cities become
    overcrowded

     And this has resulted in the haphazard


    development, chaos and disorder of the town
     The suburban sprawl has entirely engulfed every town and
    city. The people have to go far off in the countryside to get
    open air and breeze.

     People will have to take long uncomfortable journey from


    place of work to place of residence. As such there is waste
    of time money and energy

     Roads will become congested with increasing traffic and


    resulted in accidents and noise pollution
     The siting of industries in the heart of the city has resulted
    pollution of air, water etc

     The increased industrial population has given rise to the


    formation of squatter settlements, slums etc

     Insufficient open space, parks, play grounds have caused


    unhealthy living conditions

     Lack of public infrastructure such as water supply, drainage,


    sewage, electricity etc
