    HIERARCHY OF PLANNING

    AUTHORITIES IN INDIA

    The first ever-serious attempt to review and analyze the urbanization process and to
    formulate policies for integrated urban development in the country began with the
    appointment of the National Commission on Urbanization in the 1980s.
    The main objectives of Urban Development Policy as envisaged by the National
    Commission on Urbanization included the following:
    i) Saving the super-metros and national cities and also reviving their economies;
    ii) Development of fast growing intermediary level urban centres by ensuring
    financial investment for maintaining the existing infrastructure and augmenting it
    to a level wherein they will be more efficient urban entities;
    iii) Development of stagnating towns by providing gainful employment
    opportunities.
    The National Commission on Urbanization suggested that urbanization strategy should be a
    part of the major strategy of generating economic growth.
    The Commission also observed that urbanization should be visualized as a major
    instrument for promoting agricultural and industrial development as well as implementing
    anti-poverty programmed in backward areas.

    DEPARTMENT OF TOWN AND


    COUNTRY PLANNING
    Local self government department, Kerala

    The Department of Town Planning started functioning in 1957 with head


    quarters at Thiruvananthapuram and regional offices at Ernakulam and
    Kozhikode, mainly to ensure planned development of urban settlements in the
    State.

    In order to ensure the achievement of the above, this Department prepares


    various spatial development Plans at State, District / Regional and local levels,
    examines development potentials and advices the Government in matters
    related to Town Planning.

    Later, giving due respect to the unique scattered development pattern of


    settlements as well as the rural urban continuum prevalent in the state, it was
    decided to widen the field of activity of the Department by covering the rural
    settlements as well.

    Accordingly, in 1999, this Department was renamed as the 'Department of Town


    and Country Planning'. Further, this department is divided into District town
    planning offices for the implemenation of different schemes and programmes.

    The Government will direct preparation of development strategies for each of


    towns

    Short term and long term development packages will be prepared for all these
    towns and the timely implementation of these development proposals will be
    coordinated with all the sectors involved in development.

    The annual planning and budgeting system will be functionally linked with 5
    year Development Plans and long range ( 20 - 25 years ) Perspective Plans
    helping in the implemention of Town Planning Schemes.

    The urban areas which have the potential to be developed as major growth
    centers with prospects in different sectors such as industries, tourism, I.T, trade,
    commerce etc., shall be identified, planned and developed.

    Ensuring Participation of private sector for development of infrastructure is


    essential. Government would therefore explore all options such as outsourcing
    of service, Public-Private Participation. Etc. The feasibility of involving cooperatives and N.G.Os will also be explored.

    Government will constitute an Urban Regulatory Authority which will be


    entrusted with the responsibility to ensure private sector participation in
    municipal services, avoid creation of monopolies in municipal services, maintain
    quality of services.
