INTRODUCTION
• URDPFI -URBAN & REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN FORMULATION AND IMPLEMENTATION
• Planning is a continuous process & planning system should be such that it ensures continuity.
• Earlier town planning was a piecemeal process but after Independence the city planning experienced tremendous
growth & challenges for resettlement due to political changes.
• Several resettlements, new Industrial base towns & urban centers were under process of planning & masters & town
planners conclude that land use plans are needed to guide development of urban centers to promote orderly
development & healthy living environment.
• For this purpose, the ministry of Urban affairs & employment, governing of India organized a national workshop on
master plan approach during February 24-25, 1995. The research study of this workshop awarded as UDPFI – Urban
development plans formulation and implementation guidelines.
THE NEED OF GUIDELINES:
The study of UDPFI norms and standards is needed to evolve:
• System that is dynamic, flexible and efficient.
• Process that is less time consuming.
• Innovative ideas of land assembly and fiscal resource mobilization
• Simple & effective form of laws, rules and regulations.
URBAN DEVELOPMENT PLANNING SYSTEM IT CONSISTS OF
A. PERSPECTIVE PLAN:
• 20-25 years duration.
• Includes Maps & Diagrams.
• State government’s goal, policies, strategies of urban local authority regarding socio-economic development.
B. DEVELOPMENT PLAN:
• Conceived within Frame work of approved Perspective plan. Medium Duration for 5 years.
• Proposals for socio-economic & spatial development of urban centers including land use.
C. ANNUAL PLAN:
• Conceived within the frame work of Development plan. Details of new & on going projects for local authority to implement
in financial year Necessary fiscal resources mobilization.
D. PLAN OF PROJECTS/SCHEMES:
• Conceived within the frame work of approved development Plan.
• Includes detailed working layouts with cost of development, source of Finance & recovery instruments for Execution by a
public or private agency.
NORMS AND STANDARDS of UDPFI
1. Distribution of land use
2. Infrastructure
3. Commercial facilities
4. Recreational facilities
5. Traffic and Transportation
1. DISTRIBUTION OF LAND USE
I. Developed area average densities
• The Densities of medium town & large cities are considered similar for sustainability.
• The density of 125 PPH is max. factor for small town & average for medium town & large cities & minimum for Metro cities for
their identification & survival.
II. Work force
• Usually 33% of total population working in industrial area
• Due to more population in Large cities the Industrial worker Population is 25%
• In current scenario The industrial worker population Is more than 30% due to set back in agricultural production.
III. Proposed land use structure of urban centers in plain area
• Land use structure of urban center depends upon its function and size. Due to higher density in metros the land use for residential
purpose is less compared to smaller areas with less density.
• Land use distribution for industrial, commercial and recreational purpose increases aswe move from small town to metro cities.
2. INFRASTRUCTURE
• Basic requirement of urban life.
• Innovative efforts to ensure wide coverage & equitable distribution.
• Classified in to two types:
A. SEWERAGE & DRAINAGE
• The drainage system for any city/town is governed mainly by natural course and topography.
• The discharge is calculated that guides the requirements for provision of additional drain as well as up gradation of existing
drains.
• The treatment of sewerage is essential to provide hygienic conditions.
• The sewerage is estimated at the rate of 80% of the water supply demand.
ELECTRICITY
• Power supply consumption works out to be about 2 KW per household at the city level including domestic, commercial,
industrial and other requirements.
• 1 electric substation of 11 KV for a population of 15,000 is recommended for towns/cities.
SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL
• The garbage is removed and dumped at the sanitary landfill or in some cases it is converted to compost especially in small
towns.
• The generation of waste varies from a quarter of Kg in small towns to about half a kg per capita in large and metro cities.
B. SOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE
HEALTH CARE FACILITIES:
• These facilities shall be provided with 25% additional population.
• General hospital
• Incase of metro cities, these facilities serves the regional demand
• Intermediate hospital
• Incase of small & medium towns, the villages & surrounding areas depends on
them. • Nursing home, child welfare and maternity center
EDUCATIONAL FACILITIES • Dispensary
• Pre-primary to Secondary Education • SOCIO-CULTURAL FACILITIES
• Pre primary, nursery school 1 for 2500 population • Community room
• Senior secondary school 1 for 7500 population • Community hall and library
TECHNICAL EDUCATION CENTRE • Recreational club
• 1 such centre provided for every 10 lakh pop. Include 1 industrial training institute • Music, dance and drama centre
and • Meditation and spiritual centre
• 1 polytechnic institute. • Socio-cultural centre
COLLEGE DISTRIBUTION SERVICES
• 1 for 1.25 lacs population • Petrol pump
• No of student 1000 to 1500 • Milk distribution
• Area 1.80 Ha. • Lpg godown
• University Campus with Area of 10 ha.shall be provided. • Police
• These are found to be sufficient but location of these facilities is more important • Fire
for development.
3. COMMERCIAL FACILITIES 5. TRAFFIC AND TRANSPORTATION
Classified in to 3 classification: TYPES
a) Hierarchy of commercial centers a) Classification of Urban roads
b) Area of commercial centers b) Design standards of Urban roads
c) Distribution of shops NORMS AND STANDARDS FOR TRANSPORTATION
4. RECREATIONAL FACILITIES CLASSIFICATION OF URBAN ROADS:
a) Planning unit Arterial Road: Roads for intra-urban traffic with no frontage access.
b) Miscellaneous facilities: Sub-Arterial Road: Roads for intra-urban through traffic with
frontage access.
• Cremation/ burial ground: Provision of at least 2 sites for
5 lakh population and to provide one electric crematorium Collector road: Streets for collecting and distributing traffic from
for large size towns. and to local streets and also providing access to arterial and sub
arterial roads.
• Dhobi Ghat: one site for 1 lakh population with
appropriate arrangements for water and drainage Local Street: Street for access to residence, business or other
facilities. abutting property, having necessary parking and pedestrian
movement free access too.
• Taxi stands/ Bus stops/ Rickshaw stands:
DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS OF URBAN ROADS:
• These should not be located near the road intersections
• Cross-sectional elements
• The maximum distance of such facilities should not
exceed 0.5 km from the farthest point in any residential • Foot path (side walk)
area.
• Cycle tracks
c) Telecommunication:
• Parking
• Communication- 10 lines per 100 population.
• Parking space requirements
CONCLUSIONS
i. LAND FOR URBAN POOR
•In Mumbai more than 50 % of population is slum dwellers but they occupy only 8% of land.
•It is the Task to reform the Strategies, policies by Central, State & local governments to serve the interest of urban poor.
•The Reserved plots & Coastal Regulation zone Norms can be modified to accommodate the land For Urban poor.
ii. LOW FSI
• In India the FSI ranges between 1.2 to 2% in large cities & 5 to 6 % in mega cities in special cases.
• The low value of FSI tends to more consumption of land & hence Shortage of land is faced for future development. These affects the lower &
middle income group households due to Increased price of land.
• In Asian countries the FSI Practiced is between 5 to 15.Hence for affordability point of view, the FSI shall be increased to cater the demand of
land for future needs.
iii. EDUCATIONAL FACILITIES
• For safety Purpose the additional Space allocation for Peak Hour traffic in front of any school, colleges & other Institutions shall be provided.
• Primary & secondary schools to be used in Double shifts with bigger intake for efficient use of land.
• Educational & institutional Zones must be created in Master plan.
iv. LAND REGULATIONS
• Land regulations shall be revised to reduce the difference between what is allowed & what is financially feasible.
• These can be achieved by more compact cities, more efficient Land Use& Primary Infra structure.
• Increase in consumption of FSI.
• Urban population density will likely to stay Constant due to efficient land use.
