Directing the preparation of metropolitan, regional and area plans by the metropolitan, regional and area planning and development authorities.

Setting up of metropolitan, regional and area planning and development authorities for different urban and rural areas within the State to undertake preparation of development plans and toenforce and implement them,Co-ordinating the planning and implementation of physical development programmesModel Law provided 3 steps for the administration of this law:

a) Preparation of existing land use map,b) Preparation of an outline development plan and comprehensive development plan and their enforcement, andc) Preparation of detailed schemes of development or redevelopment as envisaged in the plans and their implementation.

unprecedented changes in terms of requirements of infrastructure and other basic services / amenities. Accordingly, norms and standards prescribed by previous guidelines need to revisited.

• New Guidelines to be called Urban and Regional Development Plan Formulation and Implementation Guidelines (URDPFI).

• The draft Guidelines are uploaded on MoUD website(http://moud.gov.in/URDPFI)

FINDINGS

61% of total towns i.e., 4821 towns have registered less than 20% growth rate during 2001-2011.

913 towns have experience negative growth rate.

Perhaps both urbanization as well as total population growth rate heading for stabilization.

23323 villages have more than 5000* population with a total population of 19.61 crore and if added to urban population, then constitute 47% of the total population.

*as per Census of India ,a town must have more than 5000 population.

WAY FORWARD

Model Regional and Town Planning and Development Law,1985 is needs to be taken up for revision after the finalization of URDPFI Guidelines .

Bihar Urban and Regional Planning and Development Act,2011 and Kerala Town and Country Planning Ordinance ,2013 provides for spatial planning in accordance with 74th CAA which can be followed by other States while amending their Town and Country Planning Acts.

All census towns to be notified and with the adoption of URDPFI Guidelines the, plan making process to be expedited.
