2. An Act to make provision for planning the development and use of land in Regions
established for that purpose and for the constitution of Regional Planning Boards
therefor; to make better provisions for the preparation of Development plans with a view
to ensuring that town planning schemes are made in a proper manner and their
execution is made effective; to provide for the creation of new towns by means of
Development Authorities; to make provisions for the compulsory acquisition of land
required for public purposes in respect of the plans; and for purposes connected with
the matters aforesaid.

3. The Bombay Town Planning Act, 1915, first came into existence in the then Bombay
Province in the year 1915. At that time, due to the need of providing public facilities such
as water, roads, electricity, etc. for Mumbai, Pune, and Thane, the Act was enacted and
according to its provisions, it was possible to develop a part of the city through Town
Planning Schemes. But development under this law was not mandatory but voluntary.
After independence, the industrial revolution started in the country and in that respect,
new cities were developed. Development started with the help of five-year plans in the
country and in view of that, the concept of planned development of new cities came into
existence. Thus in 1954, the provisions for the preparation of Development Plan were
included in the Act and in accordance with this provision, it has become mandatory for
the Planning Authority to prepare the Development Plan for the areas under their
jurisdiction.
Background of the Act

4. But with time, development started happening outside the city limits and as there was
no provision to control the development on the fringes, these areas witnessed
uncontrolled development. To curb the same, the concept of comprehensive
development of urban and rural areas came forward. In the year 1960 Maharashtra
State came into existence. In the year 1966, the provisions, for preparation of Regional
Plans and, for new towns were incorporated in the Act. The same Act is in force today,
knows as the Maharashtra Regional and Town Planning Act, 1966.
In the period from 1914 to 1962, the name of this department was ‘Consulting
Surveyor to Government’. ‘Directorate of town planning and valuation’ has been in
existence since 1962 and the head office of the Directorate is at Central Building, Pune.
