INTRODUCTION
 PERI URBAN AREA –
An area between contiguous urban dev. and rural countryside with low
population density which is :
o Predominantly being used for agricultural activity
o Likely to be urbanized in next 20 years
o Lack access to municipality services such as water supply, sewage and
Solid Waste Management.
 CITY FOR ALL –
o The city which adapts its structures and services to be accessible and inclusive of everyone with varying needs
and capacities.

7. ACCESSIBILITY IN PERI URBAN AREAS
o Accessibility refers to the ability to reach desired goods, services, activities and destinations. It is the generalized
cost (in terms of time, money, discomfort and risk) needed to reach a particular activity.
o Given enough time and money every location on earth is accessible but the degree of accessibility varies widely
depending constraints above.

8. PROPOSED ROAD NETWORK AND ROAD DENSITY
Crossroads with Connections
 ROAD NETWORK -
o Framework – Crossroads with interlinked connection
o Backbone – Concentric ring roads and radial roads
 MASTER PLAN PROVISION -
o LOS A for new roads
o LOS B for existing roads
o Setting up of unified transportation authority
SOURCE – Indore Master Plan 2021
Road Density is measured as KM of roads
per KM2 of area.
Low road density (>1.5 Km/Km2)
Medium road density (1.5-2.5 Km/Km2)
High road density (<2.5 Km/Km2)

9. PROPOSED LAND USE ARRANGEMENT IN MASTER PLAN 2021

 ACCESS TO INTERCITY TRANSPORTATION NODES –
o Current Status - three inter-city bus stand and two
railway station are functional.
o Proposed - three new bus stands and two railway
stations.
 ACCESS TO MAJOR EMPLOYMENT CENTERS–
o Map - distribution of employment centers is
scattered throughout the city.
o Proposed - ‘Super Corridor’ in North-west
direction of city and education hubs in
South – East direction are planned.

MODAL SHARE AND PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION
 INDORE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION -
o comprises of Bus network feeded by Para Transit network
of Magic and Vans.
o caters to the 22% of the trip generated in the city.
 MASTER PLAN PROVISION -
o 55% trips by public transport in line with vision of National
Urban Transportation Policy, 2006.

 INDORE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION -
o Indore due to its proximity to tier III and IV cities,
population of which often travels to Indore for
various purpose such as employment and
education act as an interlace of urban and Peri-
urban areas.

12. BEST PRACTICES – TOWN PLANNING SCHEME
Source – The Town Planning Mechanism In Gujarat., India , Shirley Ballaney
 CURRENT LAND ACQUISITION -
o Bulk Land Acquisition - IMP 2012 suggests setting up land
bank office to coordinate it.
o 15400 Ha of land to be acquired in phase I.
o Enactment of LARR, 2013 has made acquisition difficult
and costly.
 TP SCHEME -
o Refer to pooling together the land under different
ownership and redistribution after deducing land for
development purpose.
 ADVANTAGES –
o All the land except what needed for infrastructure
and social amenities remains with the original
owner.
o Increment in land value due to urbanization stay in
the hand of farmer.
o The farmers are not displaced in the process.

13. INTEGRATION OF LAND USE AND TRANSPORTATION PLANNING
o Master Plan is primarily prepared to accommodate future growth of the city
o Focuses on – Zoning of compatible land uses
o Only spatial planning document with statutory power
 INTEGRATED TRANSPORT AND LAND USE PLANS
o Necessary as transportation planning and land use development affect each other
 INTERDEPENDENCE OF EACH FIELD -

Regional Connectivity

 PARAMETERS UNDERTAKEN -
Provisions in Master Plan Recommendations
FACILITIES Amenities No mention of facilities required by
women
Gender neutral distribution of amenities and services.
Mobility New Railway and Intercity Bus Stands
proposed in Peri urban areas. Absence
of focus on NMT.
Safe Public Transportation within the walking distance
with well lit footpath and cycling tracks.
Education At present 1808 educational institutions
are there in the area. M.P proposed
setting up of education cluster in South
West part of city
Distribution of education facilities through out city
instead of clustering them.
GENDER
Provisions in Master Plan Recommendations
SOCIAL
EQUITY
Societal N.A The develop the social network to strengthen the
neighbourhood system that supports social integration.
Accessibility Common facility for which each strata
competes.
Assistance for marginalized section of society so that
they can get equitable access to welfare programs.
SOCIAL EQUITY

15. LIVABILITY
CITY FOR ALL
 PARAMETERS UNDERTAKEN -
Provisions in Master Plan Recommendations

EQUITY
Spatial
Distribution of
Services
Only projected requirement and
possible sources are given.
Need for equitable distribution of these resources to
each part of city irrelevant of its residents’ socio-
economic strata.
Economy
Generation

Proposed economic centres are well
distributed through out the city.
Provisions to ensure for economical marginalized classes
to have better access to the economic centers

Provisions in Master Plan Recommendations
LIVABILITY Housing Only housing shortage and area
requirements are calculated.
Housing for all sections of society can be achieved by
enforcing certain minimum EWS/LIG in each real estate
project.
Barrier Free
Environment
N.A Compulsory Adoption of Barrier Free Guide lines for any
new project.
Public &
Open Spaces
Minimum requirement of open space
for any given development is
mentioned.
Minimum quality aspect of public and open space need
to specified.

16. o Population projection through Geometric Projection - tends to give over estimate.
o Promotes sprawl to accommodate growth through decongestion of core area and density aim of 100 person
/hectare - unfeasible and if some how become reality would create another Detroit.
o Envisioned development over a period of 20-25 years, which is too long a duration considering the fast pace of
development.
o Presence of villages under the planning area whose Land Use has not been specified, as a result of which they
are not coming under the umbrella of the of region specific government schemes.
o Many proposed roads such as MR 4 passes through already developed area (in this case Swadeshi mill).
o Phasing is done in arbitrary manner. The development had occurred beyond the planned phase and due to
inherited rigidity of Master plan, it has not been amended to accommodate the changing scenario.
o Most of the Peri Urban Areas are served by intermediate para transit which is poorly integrated with public
transportation system of Indore.
CRITICISM

17. RECOMMENDATION
Source – Indore Master Plan 2021 and City Mobility Plan (Drafted)
o Need to adopt Town Planning Schemes as wide spread alternative to Land acquisition which will ensure the
fruits of urbanization will reach in the hands of marginalized farmers.
o The need to plan land use and transportation together is eminent. Master Plan for Indore had been enforced
since 2006 while it CMP is still in draft stage.
o Phasing of master plan need to be flexible in nature to accommodate unforeseen changes in developmental
forces.
o The time bound plan for the delivery of infrastructure services and public transportation modes need to be
prepared before the development of peri urban area starts.
