Principles of Town Planning
•No haphazard method in planning process
•Housing provided for all classes
•Civic amenities like shopping centres, dispensaries, schools, etc should
be provided to all residents
•Adequate open spaces should be reserved for public recreation centre
and also for future expansion of the city
•Public and semi-public buildings should be grouped and distributed
neatly across the city
•Growth of the town may be controlled by provision of green belt which
is an open strip of land reserved for special purpose limiting the growth
of the city – primary use agriculture and agricultural related activities.

Physical planning uses the land use plan as a framework to propose
the optimal physical infrastructure for a settlement or area, including
infrastructure for public services, transport, economic activities,
recreation, and environmental protection.
A physical plan may be prepared for an urban area or a rural area. A
physical plan for an urban region can have both rural and urban
components, although the latter usually predominates.
A physical plan at a regional scale can also deal with the provision of
specific regional infrastructure, such as a regional road or a bulk water
supply system. physical plans are outcome-oriented.

instituted frame work.
• To implement the plans while involving local communities to encourage a
lifestyle that has low impact on the environment
• To integrate residential, ecological & economic land use by mixed land
use.
• Prioritize concerns in site planning to attain Environmental setting and
ecological footprint of neighborhood for better quality of life.

Urban Area (Census of India)
India is on the verge of moving from a predominantly rural to a
predominantly urban country, with rapid urbanization and a high
population growth rate. According to the 2011 Census, the urban
population grew to 377.1 million, increasing from 25.7 percent in 1991 to
27.82 percent in 2001 and to 31.14 percent in 2011. There are 474 towns
in India with a population of 1 lakh and above.
1. All places with a municipality, corporation, cantonment board or
notified town area committee, etc.
2. All other places which satisfied the following criteria:
• A minimum population of 5,000
• At least 75 per cent of the male main working population engaged
in non-agricultural pursuits; and
• A density of population of at least 400 persons per sq. km.

Rural Area
•A population of less than 5,000
•Density of population less than 400 per sq km and
•more than "25 % of the male working population" is engaged in agricultural
pursuits.
•Infrastructure – Not as advanced and dense as in the urban fabric.
