ASPECTS:
3.1.UDPFI – Guide lines, standard and regulations
INTRODUCTION
• 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.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN REGULATION AND STANDARD
REGULATION
• A Rule that we must follow
• Rules that the Government makes under an Act
• Rules are made “real” and “enforceable” by the power that the Government gives itself
under an Act
• e.g. Health & Safety Act Regulation for Hearing Protection
STANDARDS
• Not written by Government
• Are written by organizations such as CSA, ANSI, CGSB, etc.
• Typically refer to product performance or how to do a job
• Have no authority on their own, but may be adopted into regulations making them legal
requirements

• May be referred to specifically in a regulation or through a “General Duty Clause”
• Regulatory bodies may adopt all or a part of an existing standard.
URDPFI -URBAN & REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN FORMULATION AND IMPLEMENTATION
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 & ongoing
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
II. Work force
III. Proposed land use structure of urban centers in plain area
I. URBAN CENTER CLASSIFICATION
Population based
Settlement type
POPULATION
Plain areas Hill areas
Small town Less than 50,000 Less than 20,000
Medium town 50,000- 5lakh 20,000 less than 80,000
Large cities More than 5 lakh 80,000 and more
Distribution of Land Use
Developed area average densities:-
Settlement type
Persons per Hectare(pph)
Plain areas Hill areas
Small town 75-125 45-75
Medium town 100-150 60-90
Large cities 100-150 60-90
Metro cities 125-175 -
Comment -
• 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:-
Work force participation
Usually 33% of total population working in industrial area
Settlement type
Industrial workers percentage of total work force
%
Small town & Medium town 20%
Large cities 25%
Workers density 100-125 PPH
Comment -
• 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
Land use category
Percentage of developed area
Small Medium Large cities Metro cities
Residential 45-50 40-45 35-40 35-40

Agriculture & Water bodies Balance Balance Balance Balance
Comment -
• 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 as
we move from small town to metro cities.

CONCLUSIONS
i. LAND FOR URBAN POOR
•In Mumbai more than 50 % of population is slum dwellers but they occupy only 8% of
land.
•The Development plan consists of various zones such as Residential, Commercial,
Industrial, Recreational, No Development Zone, Coastal Regulation Zone, but there is no
allocation of space for urban poor's, pavement dwellers which is growing population &
which needs immediate attraction to make Mega cities more appealing in aesthetically
& functionally.
•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.
• Decrease in Trip length due to compact cities.
• Urban population density will likely to stay Constant due to efficient land use.
3.2. DEVELOPMENT CONTROL REGULATION (DCR)
• Development Control is the process involving land use control in which the
development carried out by any agencies both private and public is checked in the
benefit of whole society.
• Modern town planning helps in a systematic regulation to be followed in the use of
land.
Factors to be considered in the complex urban system
1. Physical factor – based on size and density of population
2. Functional factor – based on predominance of activities
3. Administrative factor
Certain issues to be considered
1. Sporadic growth of private properties
2. Sprawl of slums
3. Major transportation congestion
4. Crowding of residential and industrial zones
5. Availability of land for reclamation and thus offering new opportunities for
development.
Aims and Objectives of development control

1. Guides development or the use of land and preserves other sites from the
undesirable development.
2. prevents the misuse of land so that it will not injuriously affect the interests of the
community
3. It sets certain frame work of the development process – help in the improvement of
the total environment
4. The rules should be flexible enough for the changing population and the complex
needs of urban society.
Need for Development Control
• Control over development and use of land and buildings by local authorities.
• It helps to avoid the chaotic growth of towns and to promote – Health Safety morals
TOOLS OF DEVELOPMENT CONTROL
The most common tools are
1. Sub division control 2. Height control
3. Plot coverage control 4. Set back control
5. Floor Area Ratio (FAR) control 6. Density control
7. Building line control 8. Architectural control
9. Advertisement control
1. Sub division control
• Due to increasing demand for plots for erection of houses, factories and other
structures, the owners of agricultural and vacant lands in the outside of the towns
subdivide their lands in to plots and streets and sell them.
• The local authorities can exercise control over this land sub- division.
• The streets showed in the layout should be properly leveled, paved, skewered, drained
and lighted.
2. Height control
• This is ensured to provide adequate supply of light and air.
• Regulations are adopted for tall buildings because they cut off light and air from
neighbors.
3. Plot coverage control
• Open space which is compulsory to be left to secure sufficient light and ventilation.
4. Set back control
These rules are beneficial because
• Gives space for trees and lawns

• Keeps the building away from dust, noise of the street
• Reduce fire hazard
• Can be used for parking.
5. Floor Area Ratio (FAR) control
• FAR is the ratio of the total gross floor area of all the stories of a building to the total
area of the plot.
• It can be applied to all buildings and any alterations can be easily done.
6. Density control
• It checks the number of persons in the area.
• It helps to maintain optimum living standards.
7. Building line control
• Building lines are made on one or both sides of a street and thus prevent the
creation of any new structure between building line and street.
• It helps in future widening of streets and roads.
8. Architectural control
• The primary objective is to prevent excessive uniformity of the buildings and poor
design while extension of buildings.
• It also helps conserving historic areas.
Advertisement control
• It is a recent development and helps towards public interest in controlling outdoor
advertisement

3.3.0. PERFORMANCE STANDARD of ALL KIND OF BUILDING.
• It denotes the performance of any space, material or structure in a dwelling space to full
fill its usage.
• For e.g. – a ramp for the vehicles to access the building, materials to with stand fire
for minimum hours, columns to carry the load etc.
Reference for performing standards of the building NATIONAL BUILDING CODE 2016.
