Basic Concepts
• Municipality
o A public corporation created by state and has the power to pass ordinances effective as
laws for the protection of public health, safety, morals and general welfare
• Settlement
o A community in which people live (town or a city)

o A way of arranging settlements into a hierarchy based upon some criteria e.g. population,
land, services etc.
o Normally depends upon administrative and legislative status

5. Introduction to Town Planning
Basic Concepts
• Plan
o Any procedure used to achieve an objective
o Comprises of a set of intended actions, through which one expects to achieve
their goal
• Planning
o An organizational process of creating and maintaining a plan
o Relates to thinking about the actions required to achieve a desired goal/
objective on some scale
Department of Civil Engineering, MUST 5
6. Introduction to Town Planning
Planning Process
• Identification of the Problem (say demographic growth)
• Defining the Objectives (provide adequate facilities)
• Date Collection and Analysis (demographic surveys)
• Forecasting (demographic projection)
• Design (developments like residential zones, high risers etc.)
• Fixing the Priorities (depend upon need, importance and urgency)
• Implementation (according to the standards)
• Review, Evaluation & Feedback (continuous improvement)
Department of Civil Engineering, MUST 6
7. Introduction to Town Planning
Planning Principles
Planning must be;
• Comprehensive (all significant options and impacts are considered)
• Efficient (the process should not waste time or money)
• Inclusive(stakeholder involvement)
• Informative (results are understood by stakeholders)
• Integrated (individual, short-term decisions should support strategic,
long-term goals)
• Logical (each step leads to the next)
• Transparent (everybody involved understands how the process
operates)
Department of Civil Engineering, MUST 7
8. Introduction to Town Planning
Town Planning Retrospect
• Much older than modern profession
• Unplanned Towns
o A cluster of huts, a camp by a river, a citadel on a
commanding height – numerous places like these have
grown organically into permanent settlements
o With streets and housing following the contours of the land,
many of these organic towns were charming
o Others were overcrowded and unsanitary, failing to provide a
good life
Department of Civil Engineering, MUST 8
9. Introduction to Town Planning
Town Planning
• The art and science of ordering the use of land and
siting of buildings and communication routes so as to
secure maximum practical degree of economy,
convenience and beauty
• It is a dynamic process that is constantly responding to
the changes in community and involves both existing
and new developments
Department of Civil Engineering, MUST 9
11. Introduction to Town Planning
Role of Town Planners
• Well Balanced Social and Economic Development
o Relates to centers of commerce and social activities
o E.g. Markets, Parks, transport stations etc.
• Improvement of Life Quality
o Relates to the utilities provided
o E.g. Electricity, Gas, water, sanitation etc.
• Environmental Protection
o Relates to preservation of nature
o E.g. National parks, historical sites etc.
• Rational Use of Land
o Relates to human modification of land into built environments
o Encompasses all the other aspects (listed above)

12. Objectives of Town Planning
• Health
o To create and promote healthy conditions and environment
for all people
o Involves adequate availability of clean water, proper
sanitation systems, separate residential and industrial zones
etc.

13. Objectives of Town Planning
• Convenience
o Convenience relates to various needs of the community such
as social, economic, cultural and recreational amenities etc.
o Easy access to basic public amenities like water, electricity,
gas, telephone etc.
o It also involves access to public institutions like prayer halls,
hospitals, schools, parks etc.

14. Objectives of Town Planning
• Beauty
o Preservation of individuality of a town by developing it in the
most visually pleasing way possible
o Includes improved types of domestic and civic buildings,
architectural control on public as well as semi-public
buildings and preservation of ancient architectural buildings
of cultural importance
o It also relates to open green places like parks, gardens,
playgrounds, green road medians
etc.

15. Objectives of Town Planning
• Environment
o Related to protection of natural environment
o Concerned with a better relationship between a human being
and their environment
o Involves preservation and improvement of green zones,
sustainable development, adequate
waste management system etc.

17. Elements of Town Planning
Town Commerce
• Town Center
o The town center can be defined as a place where all the major
commercial activities of the town take place
o E.g. Saddar in Rawalpindi
• Town Sub Center
o When the town center can’t grow further, sub-centers may
emerge in other parts of the town
o E.g. Emergence of Liaqat Bagh after Saddar got filled up
• Neighborhood Center
o Commercial center or the market place for a neighborhood
o E.g. Various Markaz in Islamabad Sectors
Department of Civil Engineering, MUST 17
18. Elements of Town Planning
Town Residential
Housing Suburbs
• The outer boundaries of a town where activities of the town
diminish
• Mostly consist of residential complexes with minimal commercial
activity
• E.g. Housing schemes like Bahria town,
DHA in Rawalpindi

19. Elements of Town Planning
Town Transportation
• Roads:
o A public way maintained by governmental authority for passage
of vehicles
o Constructed to facilitate people movement, both within a town
and from other nearby towns
o Roads in towns are also called streets, lanes, avenues,
boulevards etc.
o Include all small local roads and inter-town highways etc.
o Important to understand their difference for jurisdictional rights
(federal vs. state)
Department of Civil Engineering, MUST 19
20. Elements of Town Planning
Town Transportation
• Public Transport:
o Conveyance of large numbers of passengers, with in a town or
to other towns for a fixed fare
o Include regulation for bus routes and location of bus stations
• Mass Transit:
o Addresses the needs of a major transit/ movement of people
especially from suburbs to city centers and vice versa
o E.g. Subways system, railway system etc.
Department of Civil Engineering, MUST 20
21. Elements of Town Planning
Town Landscape
• Includes open spaces like parks, green zones etc.

b) Soft Landscape
• Refers to natural landscape
• Town Infrastructure
