PREFACE A “development plan” is an aspect of town and country planning comprising a set of documents that set out the local authority’s policies and proposals for the development and use of land in their area. The development plan guides and shapes day-today decisions as to whether or not planning permission should be granted, under the system known as development control or development management in Scotland. In order to ensure that these decisions are rational and consistent, they must be considered against the development plan adopted by the authority, after public consultation and having proper regard for other material factors. In India Development Plan process is a provincial/state subject. There are various town planning authorities under each province/ state that assess the growth of areas, identify suitable areas for housing, industry, public infrastructure and allocate budgets. Each of the metropolitan cities in India has an Agency which is responsible for Development Planning exercise of the cities.
The ‘Development Plan Studio’ aimed at preparing Development Plans of 3 cities as Rajkot, Surat and BharuchAnkaleswar. The cities were divided among the 46 students. Rajkot city, as was assigned for us, is an upcoming smart city in the country with major Industrial centres of Shaurastra. The Studio provided us liberty in planning the Development plan for the year 2041 through various approaches with certain vision instead of the conventional methods of approaching a Development plan. The publication is about the characteristics of an urban fringe area in a city like Ahmedabad , which transformed from a privately owned agricultural land use area into a fully built one in the year 2018. 3

Prepared by - Master Plan Committee, Urban Redevelopment Authority Population
Population Density
- 9.30 Lakhs
- 6,978/sq.km
Approach to MP: 5 Planning regions
Key Plan
To understand the different approaches of preparing a Development Plan, the study and comparison of International and National Development plans was initiated among two students in each group.
55 Planning Areas, with Planning area subzones (previously, DGPs) within Combined to form one Master Plan
Among the 23 groups, our group had chosen the cases of Central region, Singapore and Chandigarh according to the various similar parameters of the two cities such as similar land area, emphasis on greens as well as sustainable approaches.

Before any development work is carried out, Development Control Deptt. Evaluates and grants approval for projects
Step 5
State land is then released for development through the Government Land Sales Programme
Step 4
Copies of Master Plan made available for free inspection by & for sale at reasonable price to public
Step 3
Objections and representations, and public enquiries etc, before the Master plan is amended by the Minister
Step 2
Notice of submission of Proposal to amend Master plan for Inspection after the Concept plan is made
Step 1
Key Takeaways: * Approach to DP/MP is different * Singapore and Chandigarh use land acquisition * DP process in Singapore doesnot involve people’s participation whereas Chandigarh does.
GROWTH Spatial growth pattern of Singapore:

Land reclamation began at the Marina bay area in Singapore to increase the land area of Singapore from 580sq.km to 766sq.km in the year 2030.
The population in the Central Region reduced from 13,64,000 in 1980 to 11,30,000 in the year 1990.
This will help accommodate around 6.5 million to 6.9 million residents in whole of Singapore by then, as set out in the 2013 Population White Paper and Land Use Plan.
The year 2010 shows slight increase in the population, which again declines by 0.5% in the year 2018.

The initial concept was to address the major concern of water scarcity through various strategies to preserve the water like check dams, drip irrigation.
3. Extension of Administrative boundary After the individual initial concepts, in a group of 4, we gathered the major concerns of the city being all related to environment.
HAPHAZARD DEVELOPMENT ALONG WATER BODY
We decided to add the villages; Rangpar, Khambala and Ishvariya to preserve the waterbody of Nyari keeping in mind to prevent the leapfrog development that has already started coming up near the stream.
LEAPFROG DEVELOPMENT
LEAPFROG INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT
The village of Lothada has also been added by looking upon the industrial development as well as a huge population growth from the year 2001 to 2011 according to the census.
PRESERVE THE WATER BODY

4. 1st Concept after boundary extension : (Iteration 2)
6. Final Concept after boundary extension and 2 site visits : The final concept caters to a liberal apprach with emphasis on green cover, decongesting the industrial nodes, preserving the water bodies and taking care of the urban heat island within a mixed use environment. High Intensity Corridoors along the major transects.

PROPOSALS ROAD NETWORK and GREEN NETWORKS 1. Iteration 1 of road network proposal
Final road network proposal along with green network proposals
The initial concept was to form major nodes and put road networks around those nodes with smaller super block sizes
Proposing the roads parallel to the streams and linking through roads, cutting perpendicularly at the narrowest streams.

Aji Dam 2
Implementation Strategy:
Aji Dam 1 Nyari Dam1
Since the proposed 50m green buffer along the streams has existing landuses, the proposal has to be carried out according to the BMPC Act, Rajkot wherein the land can be acquired forcibly from the owners for the public good with compensation.

2. AT NEIGHBOURHOOD LEVELThe Development control Regulations will regulate the landscape requirements per plot and various relaxations would be proposed for those who construct roof gardens, vertical gardens etc.
The recreational zone proposed around the Aji and Nyari river as well as the lakes like lalpari lake has been proposed to have frontage developments with parks, street furnitures, jogging tracks and other spaces for recreational purposes.
To cater to the water scarcity, neighbourhood level water recharging can be proposed through DCR.

KEY LEARNINGS & REFLECTIONS The Development Plan Studio was indeed initiated a great learning about the innovative approaches that can be considered while preparing a Development Plan for a city instead of the usual conventional approach. Preparation of DP requires us as planners to understand the city and the stakeholders perspectives to give proposals for their future.
Process to prepare a Development Plan for the City and it’s population requires: 1. Analysing the city through the eyes of the stakeholders as well as the publicly available documents. 2. Designing the DP according to the needs of the city with implementation strategies. 3. Making the officials as well as stakeholders understand the plan according to their considerations.

ENVISIONED VIEW OF THE ‘RAJKOT’ CITY
Green Networks proposed along roads of varying widths as breathing spaces and local green for the neighbourhood. Mixed Use I of high intensity kept along the west due to high demand and observed growth pattern.
40
Green Buffer of 50m kept along the streams to prevent further pollution. Mixed Use II promotes liberal growth pattern, but with medium intensity.
High intensity corridors maintained in Mixed Use Zone I according to local demand and envisioned growth pattern.
Mixed Use Zone III promotes low intensity residential and commercial development. The zone includes smaller block sizes to reduce the Urban Heat Island Effect.
Recreation Zone along the major water bodies to prevent further pollution. The zone can be a solution for the lack of city level greens.
