As per the reform no 4.4 of AMRUT Scheme, an action plan has to be prepared to increase green cover to 15% following 16 AMRUT Towns/Urban Local Bodies (ULBs):-

1. Significance of Urban Greening:

1.1 Physical benefits:-

(i) Urban forests act as temperature buffers providing shade in the

summer, and wind breaks in the winter in addition to reducing noise

pollution and CO2 levels, and providing a habitat for wildlife.

(ii) Urban greening offers improvements in air, water and land resources

by absorbing air pollutants, increasing water catchment in floodplain

surfaces, and stabilizing soils. Social benefits.

(iii) Green spaces provide a refreshing contrast to the harsh shape, colour

and texture of buildings and stimulate the sense with their simple

color, sound and smell.

(iv) Particular types of green space may offer a bigger diversity of land

uses and opportunities for a wide range of activities, help to foster

active life styles, and can be to real benefit to health.

(v) Well managed and maintained green spaces contribute to social

interaction by creating opportunities for people of all ages to interact

(vi) Urban green spaces emphasize the diversity of urban areas by

reflecting the different communities they serve and meeting their

varying needs.

(vii) They enhance cultural life by providing venues for local festivals, civic

celebrations and theatrical performances.

(viii) Urban green spaces provide safe play space for children, contribute to

children’s physical, mental and social development and play an

important role in the basic education of school children with regard to

the environment and nature.

1.2 Planning perspective:-

From the planning perspective, a hierarchy and network of quality green

spaces integrating residential areas with commercial and other uses improve

the accessibility and attractiveness of local facilities and employment centers.

(i) Well-designed networks of green spaces help encourage people to

travel safety by foot or by bicycle for recreation.

(ii) Furthermore, well designed urban green spaces provide a barrier to

noise and can effectively function as visual barriers.

1.3 Economic benefits:-

(i) Property owners value urban greenery by the premium they pay to

live in the neighborhood of green spaces and public parks. Plots and

flats abutting park add to value. In densely populated areas this effect

is even more pronounced. For example, view of green spaces and

proximity to water bodies increases the real estate prices.

(ii) Impact of neighborhood parks on the transaction price of multi-

storied residential units in cities illustrate the fact that neighborhood

parks could increase price.

(iii) Urban shady trees offer significant benefits in reducing building air-

conditioning load and improving urban air quality by reducing smog.

1.4 The action plan for increase in green cover in AMRUT cities to 15% shall

dwell upon all the levels starting from city level upto ward level. Following:

2. Types of green areas are generally available in the cities:

(i) Reserved/National Forests/Protected Forests:

These green areas/Parks fall in category of forests notified/ declared

under various Forest acts. 4

8


(ii) National parks/District parks:

These parks fall in the category of green parks/centuries

notified/declared under various forest Acts which are shown in

Master plans of Regions/towns.

(iii) Neighborhood Park:

Neighborhood park is developed at the neighborhood level for a

population of 10000. The park is conveniently located within the

developed residential areas at walking distance and is planned

generally on an area of 2000-4000 sqm.

(iv) Tot lots:

Tot lots are the lowest level in the hierarchy of green areas, planned

for a population of 2500 as play-areas for children with an area of 125

sqm.

(v) Playgrounds:

Playgrounds are provided normally in the educational institutions for

the use of the school and college students. They are also provided at

the neighborhood level for a population of 5000.

(vi) Green Belt (Buffer):

Green Belts include green girdle, park belt, rural belt, rural zone,

agriculture belt, country belt, agriculture green belt. Agriculture belt,

rural and country belt are synonymous terms and they refer to a

stretch of the country side around and between towns separating one

from the other. These areas are predominantly farm lands and they

support agriculture and related functions. They may or may not be in

ownerships of the town/city/local body.

(vii) Green Strip:

A green strip is developed on a vacant land for example land under

high tension power supply lines. It is also developed along arterial

roads separating residential areas from other uses.

(viii) Tree Cover:

Trees planted along the roads within the right-of-way and ion the

central verge (median).

4.Norms for reservation of Green areas:

(i) The WHO (world Health organization) recommends atleast 9sqm. of

undeveloped unpaved open space for every inhabitant.

(ii) The Delhi unified Municipal Building Byelaws,2016 provides for 1 tree

for every 100 sqm. of open space in a plot (other than residential

plotted development)

(iv) Notified Master Plan of Various towns in the state of Punjab has also

prescribed norms for green covers. The department of local

government Punjab has also prescribed following minimum norms of

green areas in the Punjab Model Municipal Building Bye laws:-

5

9


“In case of group housing projects 15% of the total site area that has to be left

as organized green/open space and 10% in case of the Multiplex projects.

5. Advisory by Government of India (GOI) for planting trees:

(i) Type of trees for road site plantation:

Trees like neeam,Mahua, sheesham, mango, Imli, safedsiris etc. should

be planted along roads. No hard and fast rule may be laid down for the

spacing of avenue trees:

(ii) Minimum spacing between trees:

A Minimum spacing of 10-12 m should be followed. The trees in the

formal avenue planting should be planted in rows on either side of the

road in a staggered manner. At urban intersections the trees should be

at least 3 mts. away from the intersections for right viewing distance.

6. Action Plan

The action Plan for increase in green cover in AMRUT cities herein to 15% is as

under: Municipal Council Malerkotla shall identify/enumerate the existing

available green coveras provided in the existing land use plans as follows:

Type of Plantation Proposal:

Type of trees for road site plantation: Trees like neem,Mahua, sheesham, mango, Imli,

safedasiris etc. should be planted along roads.

Major Roads of Malerkotla City: The major vertical roads running from north-east to

south-west and vice versa are named: Ludhiana to Sangrur, Malerkotla to Khanna,

Malerkotla to Patiala, Malerkotla to Raikot.

Tree species with spreading forms are planted namely:-

S No. Common Name Botanical Name 1 Mango Mangiferaindica

2 Imli Tamarindusindica 3 Mahua Bassialatifolia 4 Pilkhan FicusInfectoria 5 Sheesham Dalbergiasissoo 6 Neem Azadirachtaindica 7 Shehtoot Mulberry 8 Safeda Populusciliata 9 Kusum Schleicheratrijuga

10 Timbouva Enterolobiumtimbouva 11 Jharfanoos Kigeliapinnata 12 Chukrasia Chukrasiatabularis

Main Roads are-Thandi Road, KukaSamark Road, Naudherani Road, Mehdevi Road,

Thandi Road.

S No. Common Name Botanical Name 1 Amaltas Cassia fistula 2 Smunderphall Barringtoniaacutangula 3 Kadam Anthocephaluscadamba 4 Mahagony Swieteniamahagoni 5 Arjun Terminaliaarjuna 6 Bottle palm Oreodoxa 7 Cassia Cassia javanica 8 Pink cedar Acrocarpusfraxinifolius 9 Chukrasia Chukrasiatabularis

10 Kusum Schleicheratrijuga The plantation of horizontal roads have eventually undergone greater deviation over a

period of time from original concepts.

16

20


Internal Roads: Thandi Road, College Road, Club Road- keeping in view the

sun’s direction, only one side of the road is usually planted. Evergreen trees with

a combination of flowering trees have been planted, such as-

Chukrasia (Chukrasiatabularis) in combination with Amaltas (Cassia fistula)

Kachnars (Bauhinia purpurea, Bauhinia variegata) in combination with Cassias

(Cassia javanica, Cassia renigera, Cassia nodasa)

Lahura (Tecomella undulate) in combination with Kachnars (Bauhinia purpurea,

Bauhinia variegata)

Where tree plantation has been done only on one side of the road, keeping in view the

sun’s direction, location of the houses and their height. The important aspect kept in

view is that trees should not block the morning sun so preferably winter deciduous

trees are planted namely:

S No. Common Name Botanical Name 1 Lagerstroemias Lagerstroemia thorelli

Lagerstroemia flos-reginae Lagerstroemia rosea

2 Makhan Sapiumsebiferum 3 Pagoda Plumeriaacutifolia 4 Bottle brush Callistemon lanceolatus 5 Lahura Tecomella undulate 6 Australian kikar Acacia auriculiformis 7 Tecoma Tecomaargentia
