Planning definition and concept

What is Urban Planning?
• Urban Planning is the process of constructing and designing urban areas
to satisfy the demands of a community.
• The technique draws on various disciplines to better prepare cities and
communities for the future.
• It is usually utilized as a part of a wider city plan and should be related to
your city’s purpose and vision statements.
• Urban planning encompasses many aspects of city life, including new and
pre-existing land, buildings, roads, common spaces, transit, economic
development, infrastructure, and the environment.
Need for Urban Planning
• Urban Planning is a combination of social, economic, environmental, and constructive efforts to make
an urban dwelling a good, healthy place to live, work, and to move around.
• The growth in the number of people living in towns and cities is called urbanization. The distribution
of urban areas and the rate of urbanization vary across the country.
• Our transportation system, infrastructure, the layout and mandated densities of our residential,
commercial, and industrial sectors, and other factors are all influenced by urban planning.
• Without such planning, our cities become inefficient and unappealing to inhabitants and companies.
• Cities are the principal economic growth and development engines, accounting for most global
output and consumption.Urban areas account for over three-quarters of worldwide economic activity,
and as the urban population expands, so will the urban proportion of global GDP and investments.
Objectives of Urban Planning

• The efficacy of urban planning is the most important aspect in limiting unrestrained informality
communities.
• The major goal is to plan integrated and sustainable human settlements that can withstand
increased environmental, social, and economic problems while improving rural community quality
of life.
Types Of Urban Planning
Strategic Urban Planning

• Strategic urban planning establishes preferred expansion regions for a city or metropolitan area and
creates high-level goals.
• The planning process yields a strategic plan, often called a development plan, core strategy, or
comprehensive plan.
Types Of Urban Planning
Land-Use Planning
• Land-use planning is primarily concerned with law and policy, with planning tools such as governmental
statutes, regulations, rules, codes, and policies used to impact land use.
• Land use planning is the process of regulating the use of land by a central authority. Usually, this is done to
promote more desirable social and environmental outcomes as well as a more efficient use of resources.
• As population and human aspirations increase, land becomes an increasingly scarce resource, calling for
land-use planning. Land-use planning is important to mitigate the negative effects of land use and to
enhance the efficient use of resources with minimal impact on future generations
Master Planning
• Greenfield development initiatives, or construction on undeveloped land, generally require master
planning.
Urban Revitalization
• In contrast to master planning, urban regeneration focuses on revitalizing deteriorating regions. The
precise definition of a deteriorating area varies per city.
Economic Development
• Economic development is finding growth areas to encourage more
financial success inside the city, specifically by attracting corporations to
construct or relocate their headquarters there.
Environmental Planning
• Environmental planning is a strategic development that focuses on long-
term viability.
• Air pollution, noise pollution, wetlands, habitats of endangered species,
flood zone vulnerability, and coastal zone erosion are all factors to consider
in this form of urban planning.
Infrastructure Planning
• Infrastructure planning is concerned with the fundamental structures and
processes that serve a city and its inhabitants and how such facilities may
support the strategic plan’s aims.
Classification of urban settlements
• The classification of urban settlements adopted by the Census of India 2011 is
as follows:
1. All places with a Municipality, Corporation, Cantonment Board or notified town area
committee, etc.
2. All other places which satisfies the following criteria:
a. A minimum population of 5,000;
b.At least 75 per cent of the male main working population engaged in non‐
agricultural pursuits; and
c. A density of population of at least 400 persons per sq. km.
• The first category of urban units is known as Statutory Towns. These towns are notified under law by the
concerned State/UT Government and have local bodies like Municipal Corporations, Municipalities, Municipal
Committees, etc., irrespective of their demographic characteristics as reckoned on 31st December 2009.
• The second category of Towns is known as Census Town.
Planning system
• The planning system is to consider various plans, both statutory and non‐statutory, to be a
part of the system. These various plans such as urban revitalization plan, city development
plan, comprehensive mobility plan, city
sanitation plan, coastal zone management plan etc. have emerged due to the planning needs
and/or funding schemes/ programmes.
• Similarly, regional plan, which is to
cover a larger land area, is included in the system across the scale of planning.
• The planning system framework has been designed based on stakeholder consultations,
suggests the planning system framework on the basis of ‐
Hierarchy
Spatial extent
Scale of planning
Details provided in the plan
Function and their specialty
Planning system framework
• Write a Detail note on Urbanization, urban growth and urban issue in India
• Explain in Detail: Perspective plan, Master plan, Development plan, Zonal
plans, Project Plans and Schemes.
