The document discusses development controls in Chandigarh, India. It describes how development controls regulate urban development by guiding land use and construction. Chandigarh has used development controls extensively to promote high quality development and built environment. Controls manage development both within the city through rules on building design, and outside the city through peripheral regulations. Controls vary based on location, building type and use.

Urban Design Guidelines for High-rise BuildingsBemnetLeykun
High-rise buildings are one of the possible building types that contribute
to intensification and efficient development patterns that support
healthy, liveable and safe communities. The Official Plan directs
high-rise buildings to the nodes and corridors where intensification
is expected and encouraged, including: the Central Area, the Mixed-Use
Centres (including the emerging downtown districts and Transit
Oriented Development areas), some locations along the Arterial
Mainstreets, as well as the Town Centres. These are the locations
where new high-rise developments are most likely to occur

National Building Code of India- Assuring High Standards of Safety.pdfyamunaNMH
In India, the National Building Code (NBC) is a crucial document. It provides crucial guidelines for constructing residential, commercial, and institutional buildings. Their structural integrity, safety, and hazardous components are all checked by NCB.
A building code, or building control, is a set of rules that specify the minimum standards for constructed objects such as buildings and non building structures. The main purpose of building codes are to protect public health, safety and general welfare as they relate to the construction and occupancy of buildings and structures. The building code becomes law of a particular jurisdiction when formally enacted by the appropriate governmental or private authority. Building codes are generally intended to be applied by architects, engineers, constructors and regulators but are also used for various purposes by safety inspectors, environmental scientists, real estate developers, subcontractors, manufacturers of building products and materials, insurance companies, facility managers, tenants and others.

Revanta Welfare Society with its vast experience in providing affordable houses to its members has built a new project called the Royal Town Heights. It is located in the most upcoming posh regions of the city i.e. the Zone P which has been recognized to have a potential to become a home for a proposed population of 19 Lakh, including that of the existing settlements. The urban extension areas are to be planned with a density of 250-300 persons per hectare to accommodate the projected additional population.
Revanta has built the project keeping in mind every single detail. The apartments include 3 Tier international standard security, CCTV and Video door phones. Besides that the project offers a choice for flooring, tiles, centralized air conditioning and installed high end home appliances. In order to benefit those who have plans to invest in a property in Delhi, Revanta has been priced at a nominal cost of Rs. 2,600 per Sq Ft. Within P-Zone itself, the Society currently benefits from an 80ft wide road to GT Karnal Road.

Construction Industry Through Artificial Intelligence -.docxJIT KUMAR GUPTA
Considering the role, relevance and importance of construction sector in promoting economy, generating employment and creating wealth besides providing infrastructures and amenities, there is need to make the sector more effective, efficient, productive and sustainable. Driven manually, construction sector remains in the slow lane of creating quality built environment which are cost-effective, energy efficient, least consumers of resources and generators of waste. Artificial intelligence can help and empower the construction to make it more valuable, productive and qualitative besides supportive of environment and ecology. However, construction sector must be ready to co-operate and collaborate with IT industry to look for options and opportunities to make construction sector more qualitative and productive. Majority of urban ills and climate related issues can be resolved if Artificial intelligence can be embedded as integral part of the construction industry right prom planning, designing, construction, operation and management of the built environment and infrastructures. Communities and nations will save lot of valuable non-renewable resources if the construction sector is transformed from human led to technology led by the induction of Artificial intelligence. However, Construction industry has to search the areas where Artificial intelligence can be used effectively and intelligently.
Making Urban India a Role Model of Planned Urban Growth a.docxJIT KUMAR GUPTA
Known for productivity, promoting economy, employment and innovations cities, when properly planned, rationally developed and professionally managed, have been labelled and recognized as engines of economic growth. Prosperity and urbanisation are known to have positive co-relation with rational urbanisation, leveraging growth and development of any community, city, state and region. In majority of developing countries, where urbanisation remains unregulated, forced largely by rural push and less by urban pull, cities invariably remain in crisis, crisis of population, crisis of poverty, crisis of development and management. Cities need to be cared ,incentivized, empowered and made more productive, effective, efficient and humane.
Redefining Globalization, urbanisation and LocalisationJIT KUMAR GUPTA
If cities are to made more livable, humane and productive, it is time that intent, contents and scope of globalization must be revisited and reviewed, both critically and objectively. Globalisation would need redefinition for promoting universality and inclusiveness among people and nations to have basic amenities and quality of life for all its residents , including poorest of the poor to lead a dignified life. Failure to redefine globalization, rationalise urbanisation, restore localization empowering poor and promoting universalisation and inclusivity; will invariably lead to making SDGs merely a paper exercise. In addition, making the world, cities and communities sustainable, livable, safe and inclusive, would remain merely a dream and a mirage, for future generations and communities, making planet earth as their preferred place of residence.
Knowing, Understanding and Planning Cities- Role and Relevance Physical Plan...JIT KUMAR GUPTA
Cities are known for its complexities and operational inefficiencies. cities remain dynamic ,ever evolving, ever devolving, never static and never finite.
All cities remain different, distinct, unique and universal. No two cities are similar. Each city has its own strength, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. Accordingly, problem faced by any city cannot be viewed, dissected, analyzed and enumerated, while sitting within the four walls of the air-conditioned rooms and by the so called intellectual sitting in the so called offices determining the future of cities and towns. Neither the cities can be made more rational by limited knowledge agencies providing consultancy to cities , states and nations.
For realistically and rationally understanding, analyzing the cities and having simple, cost-effective and quality solutions to the problems and challenges faced , Cities have to be walked through and concerns of the various communities have to be properly understood and appreciated.
Prime reason for inability and lack of capacity on the part of majority of physical planners, engaged in the art and science of planning, designing and developing the cities, to address the issues and challenges faced by cities , realistically and rationally, has genesis in the lack of understanding of the origin, growth and development of cities.
Lack of capacity in majority of town planners, has roots in the quality of education imparted and seriousness and commitment on the part of both teachers and taught involved. As it stands today, majority of institutions involved in imparting education in planning are being run on an ad-hoc manner and by proxy. Only few institutions have regular teachers and regular students. Majority of planning institutions are being run on proxy with proxy students and proxy teachers. Education system including curricula used for teaching, needs, review, revision and redefinition to make it more relevant to rational for addressing the issues and challenges faced by the cities and towns.
Land as a Resource for urban finanace- 24-1-23.pptJIT KUMAR GUPTA
PPt tries to brief Land, as a gift of nature, is being grossly misused, abused , manipulated Land is globally used for providing platform for all human driven activities, based on living, working, culture of body/ mind and travel.
Limited availability, coupled with large number of human beings trying to source land, has invariably created large demand for land resource for human consumption. Land, in urban context, is required for meeting the specific needs of urban dwellers for residential, commercial, institutional, recreational, travel& traffic purposes besides providing space for infrastructures , amenities, services, trade and commerce etc. Land in urban context remains under large demand and command high price due to concentration of large population in small physical area, with stakeholders making competing claims.Rapid and uncontrolled growth in population experienced by urban areas has adversely impacted and generated considerable pressure on land resource in cities and towns , leading to large scale conversion, sub-division and illegal occupation of urban land. Unregulated and regulated pressure on land has largely been met by means of both formal/informal sub-division and development of land. Growth of the urban settlements and entire mechanism of urban planning and development remains land based/ land focused. In order to make optimum use of land resource on 24x7x365; making city planning, growth, development and management ,both rational. realistic, orderly and promoter of quality living, it will be critical and essential, that all ULBs are made to focus on eliminating culture and practices promoting un-authorized/ illegal sub-division of land for ushering an environment and era of planned urban development in the cities. Land needs to be effectively leveraged to generate resources for ULBs to make cities vibrant.

The phenomenon of global warming remains more pronounced in the urban areas, for the reason cities house large concentration of people and activities in a small/compact urban space.Densely-built downtown areas tend to be warmer than suburban residential areas or rural areas.. UHI not only raises urban temperatures but also increases ozone concentrations because ozone is a greenhouse gas whose formation will accelerate with the temperature. Tokyo, an example of an urban heat island. Normal temperatures of Tokyo go up higher than those of the surrounding area. However, it needs to be understood and appreciated that climate change is not the cause of urban heat islands but it is causing more frequent and more intense heat waves which in turn amplify the urban heat island effect in cities. Major reasons for ever growing global warming and climate change can be attributed to the; Nature and natural; Human-Driven; population; Rapid Urbanisation; Irrational Urban planning; High Density; Inefficient Transportation ;Large generation/consumption of fossil fuel based Energy; Unsustainable Buildings; Polluting Industry & Manufacturing; Unsustainable Agriculture; Irrational Development; Large scale Deforestation; Lack of open spaces and individual life-choices;

Planning and Designing Green buildings-.issues, options and strategiesJIT KUMAR GUPTA
Affordability and sustainable development are considered anti-thesis across the world. Generally there exists conflict between the approach to sustainable built environment and affordable buildings. Sustainable development is considered more expensive. According to Middleton, ‘Sustainability and affordability aren’t mutually exclusive goals. It’s not about adding extra, but thinking more carefully about the design of buildings and incorporating technologies that can offset the rising costs of energy, water and other services. Affordability and sustainability are known to fit together perfectly’.
Through excellent design, buildings can be made more sustainable and affordable. Smaller the footprint of buildings, lower will be the upfront costs and embodied energy and lower shall be the running costs of buildings. Looking at the entire context of health, rising cost of amenities/services; Sustainable/Green designs are now being increasingly adopted, to make built environment more cost-effective and affordable. Considering the enormous amount of built environment to be created, India will have no option but to tread the path of sustainability and sustainable development in the built environment. Sustainable built environment would also help in and go a long way in achieving the majority of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals for the reason, built environment is known to be the largest consumer of energy, avoid wasteful use of resources and minimise generation of waste. Global sustainability will be largely contingent upon how effectively and efficiently we can make our buildings sustainable and qualitative through innovative/green design solutions based on local climate and culture, valuing site planning, embedding orientation, cross ventilation, using renewable/waste materials and involving state of the art building technologies.
_Neighborhood Planning in Capital City of Chandigarh- An Appraisal (2) - Copy...JIT KUMAR GUPTA
Neighborhood as an idea, concept, option and strategy has been extensively used locally and globally by the Urban Planners to plan and decentralize cities, create cities within cities, promote self-contained communities and to make cities more humane, safe and socially vibrant. Neighborhood has also been used recently to define the city in terms of travel time - making 10/15 minutes city
Accordingly, large typologies of NH ,in terms of planning and designing , with varying shapes, sizes and contents have emerged in the urban context. Americans have used superblock and French using Sector for defining the neighborhood. Despite distinct advantages, holding high degree of relevance in urban and local area planning , NH planning has not been able to deliver the envisioned objectives of safety and social vibrancy. Cities in the process have been socially, economically and physically fragmented, leading to clear division of cities into different communities with little economical and social connectivity. Variance of planning and designing norms followed at NH and sub-neighborhood levels have promoted more dichotomy and contradictions with varying quality of life inducted at local level. Differential population and infrastructures have divided the city into the categories of high/low end NH units. Fabric and morphology of cities, in large cases, has been distorted with urban settlement emerging as a distinct social map of communities graded economically and socially,on the basis of area/location . In the process, the way NH planning concept has been used, neighborhood planning has emerged as an instrument of social and economic segregation/division. In fact in number of cases, concept has been used, misused, abused in intent and content to divide the cities into distinct social and economic layers. Instead of unifying , concept has led to division of cities.
Genesis of modern application of NH can be found in the planning and designing of Chandigarh where entire city fabric of capital city was woven around Sector as the basic unit of planning, concptulasied as self-contained and self-sustaining unit at the local level. However, the way sectors have been planned, it has led to dividing the cities into different and distinct communities. Individual status in Chandigarh can be judged from his/her residence. Concept of Sector has done more damage than good to the fabric of the city. Chandigarh is likely to face considerable problem in making city socially and economically cohesive/vibrant,. Sectors in Chandigarh remain anti-thesis to the basic concept of NH planning of safety, involving walkability, vehicular movement, putting commercial space in the centre. Considering role, relevance, importance and usability , NH needs to be planned, designed with care and caution, in order to make cities socially and economically vibrant, inclusive. NH planning deserves a new definition and approach to make it relevant and rational.
Reviewing, Revising and Redefining Master Plans and Development Plans to Ma...JIT KUMAR GUPTA
Looking at its efficacy and efficiency, it can be seen and observed that Master Plans/ Development Plans have done more damage than good for the planned growth and development of the cities to which they have been made applicable. These plans have been violated with impunity both by the people, communities, cities and parastatal agencies; for the betterment/welfare of which these plans were prepared. These plans have been visualized as controller of development rather than promoters of development. Instead of planned development , these plans have been usherers of the unplanned development. These plans are known to be responsible for promoting large number of slums besides making quality of life poor for majority of the urban inhabitants. Cities under Master Plans are also known to promote exclusion rather than inclusion. Master Plans/Development Plans are known to promote prosperity for few and marginalize the large proportions of the local community by making them poor. Instead of catering to urban dynamism, Master Plans/Development Plans try to freeze the city, for next two decades, to which it is made to serve. Accordingly, these plans need to be reviewed , rationalised, revised and redefined to make them better Master Plans/Development Plans
Rationalizing the Planned Growth of Urban India- paper.docxJIT KUMAR GUPTA
Rapid and uncontrolled growth in population experienced by urban areas has adversely impacted and generated considerable pressure on land resource in cities and towns , leading to large scale conversion, sub-division and illegal occupation of urban land. Unregulated and regulated pressure on land has largely been met by means of both formal/informal sub-division and development of land. Growth of the urban settlements and entire mechanism of urban planning and development remains land based/ land focused, based on a strategy of sub-division of the land, dictated by the economic forces prevailing in the market. Irrational and ineffective public policies of urban planning and land sub-division, devoid of prevailing ground realities, have turned out to be incompatible with the demands of urban expansion, leading to large scale un-authorized and illegal sub-division of land. In the process, valuable land resources, gift of nature, has been misused, abused and mutilated in this race of uncontrolled and irrational urbanisation. In order to make optimum use of land resource; making city planning, growth, development and management ,both rational. realistic, orderly and promoter of quality living, it will be critical and essential, that all urban centres are made to focus on eliminating the culture and practices promoting un-authorized/illegal sub-division of land for ushering an environment and era of planned urban development in the country.
Suggestion and Options for integrating villages. within the framework of the...JIT KUMAR GUPTA
Preparing Master Plans/Development Plans for any urban settlements, basically and essentially, involves declaring a planning area for which the said long term plans are prepared. Planning area invariably includes and involves, number of rural settlements, which comprise of the planning area besides the urban settlement. It has been observed that in majority of cases, while detailed studies and analysis are carried out of the urban settlements but villages in the study and analysis remain marginalized, diluted and muted. Despite the fact, villages have critical role in the rational development of the urban settlement, but in preparing Master Plans their role and relevance is not made part of the said plan. Accordingly, this text tries to bring out the typologies of villages falling in the planning area and the suggested framework to develop these villages in making Master Plans, better Master Plan. In order to improve Master Plan qualitatively, quantitively, both in intent, contents and scope, It will be appropriate that all the villages falling in the planning area must be studied , analyzed and made integral part of the final outcome of the proposals of Master Plan. In-fact one Chapter must be exclusively dedicated to detail out the issues faced by the Villages and options which can be leveraged to promote the rational growth of villages ,as an integral part of the long term development of the urban settlement , for which the Master Plan is being prepared. This will help not only in integrating the urban- rural settlements falling in the planning area, but would also go a long way in promoting and ensuring rational growth and development of the urban settlement, for which the Master Plan is being prepared.
Making cities Climate Responsive and SustainableJIT KUMAR GUPTA
“Decarbonization” of cities ,as an issue ,as an option and as a strategy , has been gaining currency in the parlance of; making planet earth livable and sustainable. “Decarbonization has been globally valued for keeping the global temperature below 1.5C, and achieving the agenda and goals defined in the 17 Sustainable Development Goals, defined by UN for achieving universal sustainability. Despite distinct role and relevance, criticality and importance of decarbonization of cities has neither been properly understood and appreciated nor made integral part of the architectural practice and art and science of designing and construction of buildings. Consuming one -third of global energy (33%) and generating 39% of greenhouse gas emissions buildings have been considered as the major player in the domain of climate change and global warming. Since Architects and Architecture are
actively involved in the making and unmaking of buildings, accordingly it becomes important that planners and architects must play a significant role in making
cities and buildings least consumers of energy and generators of the minimum greenhouse gas emissions. This objective can be achieved if decarbonizing cities/buildings is made a distinct reality . Issue of decarbonizing the cities/buildings assumes importance for the reason, that world’s building floorspace is likely to be become double by the year 2060, with the addition of large number of newcities/ buildings due to rapid urbanization, population growth and economic development ; required for catering to
to the needs of additional population opting for urban living.
Managing Planning and Development of Citie- 26-2-24.docxJIT KUMAR GUPTA
Cities in India are known to be in perpetual crisis; facing numerous crises in terms of; crisis of rational growth, crisis of orderly and planned development; crisis of effective and efficient urban management; crisis of making provision of basic infrastructure and services; crisis of climate change; crisis of global warming; crisis of poverty, pollution and population and crisis of making human living and prevailing environment qualitative. These urban crises have genesis in the fact that cities in India, lack ownership, command, authority and lack of willingness to run and manage cities professionally and objectively. In majority of cases, cities in India are run by proxy. In terms of physical growth and development; large cities are marked by multiplicity of agencies claiming right/ownership of development over the urban areas, whereas smaller cities face absence of such ownership and are made to run, operate and function like orphans

Book Formatting: Quality Control Checks for DesignersConfidence Ago
This presentation was made to help designers who work in publishing houses or format books for printing ensure quality.
Quality control is vital to every industry. This is why every department in a company need create a method they use in ensuring quality. This, perhaps, will not only improve the quality of products and bring errors to the barest minimum, but take it to a near perfect finish.
It is beyond a moot point that a good book will somewhat be judged by its cover, but the content of the book remains king. No matter how beautiful the cover, if the quality of writing or presentation is off, that will be a reason for readers not to come back to the book or recommend it.
So, this presentation points designers to some important things that may be missed by an editor that they could eventually discover and call the attention of the editor.
Hello everyone! I am thrilled to present my latest portfolio on LinkedIn, marking the culmination of my architectural journey thus far. Over the span of five years, I've been fortunate to acquire a wealth of knowledge under the guidance of esteemed professors and industry mentors. From rigorous academic pursuits to practical engagements, each experience has contributed to my growth and refinement as an architecture student. This portfolio not only showcases my projects but also underscores my attention to detail and to innovative architecture as a profession.
1. Development Controls
Development Controls have been defined as the mechanism through which entire process of urban development is regulated to achieve the
objective of promoting overall benefit of the society and creating a distinct image of the city. It includes guiding the development and use of
land, curbing misuse of land and promoting rational and orderly development of built environment. Development controls are required to
meet situations and contexts which are generally static. In this context they tend to become too rigid and complex. Looking at the far reaching
impact and implications of development controls on the growth and development, character, fabric and personality of a city, they need to be
framed with great care and abundant caution. Considering the larger public interest and general welfare of the community, formulation of the
development control should satisfy the basic requirements of health, safety convenience, economy and amenity.
Chandigarh has been credited with extensively using development controls for promoting state of art development and quality built
environment. In the absence of any statutory master plan, growth and development of Chandigarh has been exclusively regulated through
various development controls which have been put into operation as integral part of city planning and development process. Pattern of growth
and development, distinct character and personality of Chandigarh have their genesis in the comprehensive set of development controls.
Chandigarh has put in operation two distinct sets of development controls to regulate its growth and development, both within and out side
the city. Haphazard, unplanned substandard and ramshackle development around the city is regulated and controlled by ‘The Punjab New
Capital (periphery) Control Act, 1952,’ Act, which controls and regulates the area contained in 16 kms. belt, around the new capital of
Chandigarh, declared as Periphery, under the provisions of the said law.
Development within the city is being managed through various kinds of development controls. Development Controls within the city have its
genesis in ‘The Capital of Punjab (Development and Regulations) Act, 1952’. Section 4,of the said Act, empowers Chief Administrator to
2. issue such directions, as may be considered appropriate ,in respect of any site or building for the proposes of proper planning or development
of Chandigarh. The directions can be issued in respect of:
Architectural features of the elevation or frontage of any building.
Erection of detached or semi-detached buildings.
Number of residential buildings which may be erected on any site.
Prohibition regarding erection of shops, workshops, warehouses, factories or buildings of a specified architectural character.
Maintenance of height and position of walls, fences, hedges etc.
Restrictions regarding the use of site for purposes other than erection of buildings.
Section 5, of the said Act, provides that all buildings in Chandigarh to conform to the Building Rules. Such rules include:
Materials and methods to be used for construction of buildings
Height of the building.
Ventilation in building
Building set- backs.
Number and height of storey/building.
Means of ingress or egress.
Minimum size of habitable rooms etc.
Section 11 of the said Act provides for notification of “Tree Preservation Order’, to preserve the existing trees and to plant/replant trees in any
specified site or location.
3. Section 12 provides for issue of ‘Advertisement Control Order’ to restrict, regulate the display of advertisements in Chandigarh in order to
check the visual pollution .
However, the Punjab Capital (Development and Regulation) Building Rules, 1952 framed under the Principal Act of Capital of
Punjab (Development and Regulation) Act, 1952, put into operation different development controls to regulate the architectural
character of the buildings to be constructed in the city. Initially, there was only one type of control i.e. Architectural Control
prescribed in the rules to regulate the architectural character of the buildings beside the Zoning Control. However, subsequently
Frame Control was added to cover the Marla type housing. Architectural Controls are applicable only in the areas which are declared
as Special Areas in the Zoning Plan.Schedule1 defines the Special areas in which Architectural Controls Sheets will operate:
Areas along some V2 roads were shown on the zoning plans.
Areas of shops and terraced houses along some V4 roads where shown on the zoning plans.
Some areas of city centre as shown on the zoning plans.
Any other areas shown as special areas on the zoning plan.
The Building Rules inter-alias provide for following Development Controls:

Zoning
Building Rules have classified all the buildings to be constructed in Chandigarh into 4 distinct categories which include:
Residential Buildings
Commercial Buildings
4. Warehouse and Industrial buildings
Public buildings.
All these buildings are subjected to different development controls for regulating their design and construction. The application of the
development controls have been largely dictated by the category of buildings, location of the site, size of the site and need to regulate the
building design/architecture etc.
Considering the role and importance of major axes of the city including all the Margs (V2s) and Shopping streets (V4) within the sector in
defining the character of the growth and development, all the sites located on these roads are declared as special areas and accordingly
subjected to detailed architectural controls.
Level and intensity of controls made applicable are at variance depending upon the importance of the location and category of buildings.
Buildings located on major axis (V2) are subjected to rigorous controls as compared to buildings located on V3. Buildings located on V4 are
required to follow well defined controls as compared to building on V5 & V6. Buildings located in City Centre (sector 17) and Sub-City Centre
(Sector 43) is required to follow strict material and construction controls along with Architectural design.
Controls are also dictated by the category of buildings. Accordingly, Commercial buildings are subjected to more detailed controls as
compared to residential buildings. All commercial buildings are subjected to detailed Architectural Controls. Within residential buildings,
Marla type houses follow elaborate system of Development controls in the shape of Frame Controls whereas larger residential plots are
subjected to more relaxed Zoning Controls, regulating the set backs, height, building line , ground, coverage, FAR etc. However, residential
buildings located on V4, irrespective of their size, are subject to detailed architectural controls. Institutional buildings of larger sizes are
regulated through the mechanism of zoning whereas small size buildings are subject to architectural controls. Buildings of special character
5. including cinema, petrol pumps are required to follow a design prepared by a qualified Architect in consultation with the Chief Architect.
However large institutional complexes like PGI and Punjab University do not follow any specified development controls. Construction in
these campuses is regulated through the designs prepared by Architects employed by them.
While looking at different controls, all public buildings designed by Chief Architect, generally did not follow any stringent control whereas
all buildings falling in the domain of private buildings are regulated through detailed systems of development controls. While looking at
different controls, no well defined pattern of ground coverage, FAR, height, number of storeys etc. has been followed. In most cases they are
at variance. Further in the garb of Architectural Controls, in most of the cases complete architectural designs have been provided bringing
enormous amount of rigidity in the built environment. Development Controls made applicable on different areas of the city including major
roads are detailed below:
1. Madhya Marg ( V2)
2. Jan Marg ( V2)
3. Himalyan Marg (V2b)
4. Dakshin Marg( V2)
