ROLE OF MEERUT AS A ‘METRO CENTER’ IN NCR PLAN 2021 & A REVIEW OF MEERUT MASTER PLAN 2021
INTRODUCTION – Preface & Rationale CO-RELATIONAL DEVELOPMENT Meerut District has been marked as a ‘Metro Centre’ in NCR plan 2021 with a projected population of 25 lakhs in 2021. It is a prosperous city which has grown at a stable rate along the development of NCR with a growth rate of 34%. This is a Tier-II city with a million plus population, the city is likely to develop faster with distinct transitional changes. There is a need to study the role of this city with the NCR plan and it’s current status. Meerut district is nearly 67km from Delhi NCT and is planned to develop as a priority town to deviate in-migrants who are rushing to NCT. The district as well as the Meerut city holds great potential to develop along side, with matching/similar infrastructural standards to NCT. Two major projects have been launched to improve connectivity between Meerut City and NCT i.e. Meerut-Delhi Expressway and Delhi-Meerut RRTS, are highly promising for the future growth of the city.

MEERUT CITY – GEOGRAPHY AND GEOLOGY The geomorphology of the entire region of Meerut district has a Fluvial Origin due to the presence of two rivers on either side of the District. On eastern side, there is Ganga river passing through Garhmukteshwar and on the western side there is Hindon river which crosses through Ghaziabad district. This means that the entire region has fertile soil for agricultural practices and a potent land for agro based industries. This type of soil is also favourable for good soil and dense aquifers.

Except the old/core city, all other settlements have developed along major roadways. Maximum density being on south-western side which connects to Delhi via NH58. The shape of the city due to radial roads has hence evolved into an ellipse. Visually, there is a distinct shift in residential land use but statistically only 1.9% increase has been registered. It has not grown towards north and north-eastern side because of absence of a growth node.

Meerut Municipal Corporation is divided into 80+10 (An increase in the number in 2017) wards for better administration and management of services. The wards are fundamental to understand city dynamics and required mandates for future development. A correlational analysis of wards and their subsequent services will enable the planner to justify each section properly.
HUMAIR SUBHANI M.ARCH (EKISTICS) 2018-20
Water supply is done through over head tanks, underground supply lines and also through surface storage water tanks. Water demand through a continuous piped supply is still running low by approximately 40% because the water network is only limited to the main urban city and does not reach each rural constituency in full capacity. There is an urgent need to reduce ground water dependence of the city.
ROLL NO. 18-MEK-007
DRAINAGE NETWORK MAP Source – CDP Meerut 2006 Meerut city has a large number of surface drains which takes away liquid waste of water, effluents and other industrial toxic materials away from the city. Piped network of city drainage system is inadequate. New developments are also planned relying on smaller surface drains which join into trunk drains. There is a huge gap in drainage network in Industrial Estates which is a hazard to soil and water.

SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT NETWORK MAP; Source – CDP Meerut 2006 There are small and large landfill sites within the city with 3 more landfills proposed. Two large landfills at the southeastern side of the city and one smaller landfill on north-western side of the city. Garbage collection system is considerably efficient but solid waste treatment and recycling is highly inadequate. There is a potential for solid waste to energy or a recycling plant for Meerut city.

MEERUT CITY – S.W.O.T ANALYSIS STRENGTH
WEAKNESS
OPPORTUNITY
THREAT
1. The biggest strength of the city is its proximity to NCT which brings huge impetus to development. 2. Apart from location, the soil and weather conditions are favorable for primary production of agro based industries. 3. Also, transit connections (Expressway and RRTS) of the city to NCT are another very important factors to provide a kick start to new and advanced development. 4. This city has shown a positive growth factor among all other districts and this dynamic will help it to grow further with employment and institutional opportunities.
1. One of the biggest weakness lies in the master plan of Meerut in which the city is planned to grow northwards while it always pushed towards south. This leads to unplanned growth and unprecedented growth in a particular direction. 2. Some areas of Meerut are highly dense and this leads to mismanagement of services and infrastructure. 3. Slums are a major problem in all prospering cities and it reduces the pace of city growth. Housing and shelter is really fragile in Meerut City.
1. The southward growth of the city and changing demography can be easily captured to promote growth pockets in that direction while considering ecological implications of developing in the southern direction as the city slopes downwards. 2. There is another opportunity in developing agro based industries in the region and become a regional supplier of a wider range of allied products to agriculture.
1. Environment is the greatest threat at this current situation. Air and water is already in a poor situation. Further development and densification will lead to deterioration of resources.

Industrial Area for Agrobased industries only
The entire district has a huge potential for agro based Industrial development, but a particular estate for agro and allied services will help improve production. The growth of Meerut city has been slow towards north, an industrial estate will give a stimulus of growth.
Water infrastructure Units
The natural terrain of the city shows that these locations have the highest of relative height and hence are potential for water infrastructure; Treatment Units or Major Pumping stations.
Green Buffer Zone between Industrial Estates and the city
Industrial areas have positive outcomes in terms of economy and employment but has adverse ecological and health complications. To reduce these effects, a reserved buffer zone for each industrial estate should be planned.

WATER NETWORK
Extended Industrial Area with their respective Influence area
Large Water catchment areas at the southern end of the city
There are already 4 industrial estates in the city, another industrial estate should be planned along Hapur Road because Meerut Delhi Expressway terminates on the same stretch.
Meerut city does not have large water catchments for storing rainwater and improving groundwater. These catchments can be used for industrial water requirements as well as irrigation purposes.
* Note – The spatial planning can have an elaborate planning reprisal of schemes but the scope of research aims at finding cohesion between the NCR plan 2021 and Master Plan 2021. HUMAIR SUBHANI M.ARCH (EKISTICS) 2018-20

THESIS 2019-20 – CONCLUSION
MEERUT CITY â&#x20AC;&#x201C; CONCLUSION The study of Meerut Urban Agglomeration in relation to the NCR plan 2021 is an important study because of its assigned role and the progress which the city has shown in the last decade in accordance to RP 2021. City demography has changed and there is a significant impact of NCT on the dynamic of Meerut city, development has changed and so has the prospects for its future growth. There has been an increasing stimulus of industrial growth and tertiary economic opportunities in terms of service based industries. This is the reason that primary sector has shrunken in the last decade, giving way to more industrial and service industries in the city. The local government along with the administration must take holistic steps in improving the quality of life in Meerut city. There can be numerous ways and one such way is by improving social infrastructure which impacts lifestyle of all age groups directly. There is gap between social infrastructure and remedial measures can help save the day for a brighter tomorrow.
THE WAY FORWARD We are living in times of Information Technology and AI which has shows amazing results terms of analyzing large amounts of data and showing qualitative understanding for the same. Our cities lack information, information which will be enclose all possible paradigms of planning and design and lay out results as a holistic plan. A concept of Information Cities, where there shall remain a data base for various sections of the city in a concise yet elaborate manner. There is a need for layered data, each layer for a specific purpose, and each purpose with a specific outcome.
