About SPA

About SPA, New Delhi
New Delhi became the capital of British India in
1911. Subsequently, it became necessary to
design the city. It was Walter George (English
architect most known for being part of the team of
architects who designed New Delhi) who chose to
stay back when the British left India. Walter
George and his colleagues thus began the work of
establishing the first institution in Delhi for
imparting training to students of architecture. It
was in 1942 that the Department of Architecture
came into existence as a part of the Delhi
Polytechnic at Kashmiri Gate in northern Delhi.
From the early 1950s, the agenda for the overall
development of the country took the center stage.
As far as town and country planning was
concerned, mostly architects came forward to be
trained as urban planners. In this field also, Walter
George played the leading role. Walter was the
principal motivating force behind the
establishment of the Institute of Town Planners,
India in 1951. He also encouraged the young
Architect and Planner Prof. T. J. Manickam to
conceive a School of Town and Country Planning.
In 1955, the Government of India established the
first School of Town and Country Planning in
Delhi, thus marking the beginning of the SPA.
For seven years, the School operated from rented
premises in Kapurthala House on Man Singh
Road.
Dynamic as he was, Prof. Manickam secured
prime land for building both the headquarters for
the ITPI and the School at Indraprastha Estate. On
26th May 1958, Professor Humanyun Kabir, then
Union Minister for Scientific Research and
Cultural Affairs, laid the foundation stone of what
is now called the Planning Campus of SPA. Prof.
T. J. Manickam became the founder Director of
the School. SPA is divided into three respective
campuses, out of which two of them are located at
ITO i.e. Planning and Architecture block and the
hostel campus is located at Maharani Bagh.

Assignment 1: Film Review
(Individual Assignment)
Films related to various issues of human
settlements will be screened to the students. The
purpose of this film is to educate the students
about various development issues and to learn
them in the planning practice. At the end of the
film, a discourse around the film will also be held.
After viewing the films, each student is expected
to write about its main focus city/region context,
its applicability to Indian environment by
answering the given questions in not more than
150 words.
Assignment 2: Article Review
Each student is expected to read the article given
from the journal/book and write a summary of not
more than 200 words highlighting the problem,
approach, methodology, analysis, how the author
arrived at the conclusion and its relevance to
Indian context. There will be negative marking
for writing the same text as in the original (that is
copying from the original text given to them).
Assignment 3: - Area Appreciation
A town or a city is constituted of different parcels
of land or areas.These areas may be called as
sectors, colonies, pockets, districts, and so on.
Any area is typically characterised by its landuse
(such as residential,commercial,industrial,
institutional, open spaces/ recreational,etc),
activities and landmarks. The characteristics of
landuse also change with the scale, location,
transport accessibility and the relation with its
surrounding context. Understanding landuses,
thus is critical for understanding various issues of
the city or town. Further, these smaller parcels of
areas may also be a part of larger area sub-
divisions within cities (such as planning zones,
administrative zones /wards) and hence the areas
also need to be studied within a larger context.
This exercise aims to appreciate an area in terms
of land and building use, its population and
characteristics, linkages and accessibility and the
quality of life.
Each student has to choose the area according to
their current locationa and appreciate that. A
report of 1000 words of the exercise should be
submitted.
The following aspects are expected to be
incorporated in the study:
 Locational Attributes ,Surrounding landuses.
 Connectivity and Linkages
 Brief History of the area
 Population, Density and Area Distribution
 Built form
 Open Spaces
 Roads and Parking
 Infrastructure
