The document provides planning standards and norms for various facilities and infrastructure in urban areas. It includes guidelines for local parks and open spaces, burial grounds, transportation infrastructure like roads, cycle tracks and parking requirements. It also outlines hierarchies and areas for commercial centers and recreational facilities based on the population size of planning units. Standards are given for road widths, footpaths, cycle tracks and parking space equivalents for different vehicles.
