AN APPROACH TO CONSERVATION OF BUILT HERITAGE - DELHI MASTER PLAN PROVISIONS.Purushottam Uttarwar
Urban Development and Conservation of Built Heritage are two sides of a same coin in a historic city like Delhi.Delhi is an ancient city with rich historical mile stones and heritage. Historically Delhi has been a capital city for many dynasties and rulers. Each ruler and dynasty left its impression and foot prints in the form of monuments, heritage buildings and capital complexes. The rulers have been conscious of Delhi’s past. Their desire to protect the past has influenced protection and conservation of built heritage. Archaeological survey and Public Works Department of British India began this task in the later 19th century and after independence ASI has become protector of India’s heritage. At a later date Master Plan documents attempted to make provisions for protection and conservation of built heritage. Right from the first Master Plan of Delhi 1962 to the Master Plan of Delhi 2021, each document contributed and perfected conceptual frame work, approach and policies for protection and conservation of monuments in Delhi.c. Master Plan for Delhi -2001: In the second Master Plan the aspect of conservation is dealt under a different subheads. Environment is section that talks about the conservation of the walled city. The section on Special Areas also mentions restoring the glory of the Walled City. Urban villages, which are an important component of the heritage are under the section of Shelter, it rightly mentions that heritage development should be a part of the overall development. The Master Plan was in accordance with the conservation thought of the day. Due to scattered scheme of conservation thoughts, implementation was a difficult task.
In the 90’s, MCD and NDMC published lists of buildings, which were ‘Protected’. In absence of any legislation or procedures, these monuments remained protected theoretically only.
Development controls are mechanisms that regulate the urban development process to promote overall societal benefit and create a distinct city identity. Chandigarh has extensively used development controls to guide land use, curb misuse, and promote rational development through various acts and rules, including the Punjab Capital (Development and Regulation) Act of 1952, which empowers the Chief Administrator to issue directions regarding sites and buildings. Development controls in Chandigarh are aimed at maintaining the city's founding concepts as envisioned by its architect planner.

It defines zoning as separating land into parcels and zones to regulate where different types of buildings can be built based on land use, public health, and overcrowding issues. Zoning affects businesses, residents, communities, and contractors in different ways. Proper zoning allows communities to preserve neighborhood identity while encouraging development. The planning commission and various boards control and review zoning. Zoning districts separate land into residential, commercial, industrial, mixed-use, and special zones to guide appropriate development.
The document discusses town planning regulations and building bye-laws in India. It covers several topics related to planning including a review of relevant legislation, planning agencies and their functions, concepts like FSI and TDR, and norms for utilizing FSI for different building types. It emphasizes that building bye-laws are necessary tools to regulate development and achieve orderly growth. Regulations aim to ensure proper light, ventilation, sanitation and fire safety in buildings.

The document discusses land use and zoning concepts in urban planning. It defines key terms like land use, residential land use, commercial land use, industrial land use, civic land use, institutional land use, recreational land use, floor area ratio, density, zoning, classification of zoning, sub-divisional regulations, and elements and factors to consider in developing a master plan. The document provides details on allocating percentages of land area for different uses and separating zones to properly plan a town or city.
The document discusses land use planning and zoning. It provides definitions for key concepts in 3 sentences:
Land use planning is the process of organizing, managing and regulating land and resource use to meet socio-economic needs efficiently and sustainably. Zoning is a tool that controls land use through designations like residential, commercial, industrial, agricultural and institutional. These designations regulate development form, design, use and compatibility as a basic framework for future growth and as a control mechanism to ensure development aligns with plans.

Conservation of the Urban Heritage to Conserve the Sense of Place, a Case Stu...drboon
The sense of place can only be achieved if the urban heritage is still intact and preserved whilst accommodating for new development. In the past Misurata city center where the traditional areas and historical significance are located did not have any positive consideration and appreciation from government which, were destroyed to build a new commercial buildings within business district area of city center. This paper intends to highlight on urban heritage "historical significance & activity pattern" that still survive in the city center of Misurata and reflects the sense of place. The study adapted the visual survey field method for data collection and this approach adopted techniques namely photograph and diagrams or maps. The results of the study indicate that there are some urban areas and buildings with historical or traditional significance and conducive sense of belonging and identity that must be renewed, restored, reused and conserved; for instance the marketplace, Allfah Square and the old city center.
The document discusses four case studies on the adaptive reuse of historic buildings and structures based on different schools of thought. It focuses on the restoration of the Bhaudaji Lad Museum in Mumbai and the adaptive reuse of traditional pol houses in Ahmedabad, Gujarat. The pol houses showcase the rich culture and traditions of the past but now face issues due to modernization. The case study proposes sensitively adapting the structures for new uses while preserving original fabric to promote heritage conservation and generate funds for maintenance. This allows the buildings to be sustainably reused in a way that benefits both inhabitants and preservation of cultural heritage.
Urbanization refers to the population shift from rural to urban areas. Rapid urban growth has both positive and negative impacts on town planning. Positively, it can increase economic production and provide better opportunities and services. However, it can also lead to issues like urban sprawl, traffic, and pollution as megacities struggle to provide infrastructure for large populations. Effective town planning requires statutory development plans that provide strategies and proposals to manage growth, as well as regional plans that focus on balanced development across connected urban and rural areas.
The Punjab Regional and Town Planning and Development Act,1995JIT KUMAR GUPTA
Presentation is an overview in brief of the provisions of The Punjab Regional and Town Planning and Development Act,1995 including its objectives, typogies of authorities, planning framework and functions of Authorities. However, paper does not cover its critical appraisal
Town planning schemes are prepared under the Maharashtra Regional and Town Planning Act of 1966 to implement development plans covering areas under planning authorities. The schemes involve land pooling and reconstitution to provide infrastructure and redistribute plots. Objectives include pooling land, reconfiguring plots, and providing social and physical infrastructure while recovering costs. Historically, the first town planning legislation was the 1915 Bombay Town Planning Act, which was replaced in 1954 to introduce development plans as the main planning instrument. Town planning schemes are intended to implement development plan proposals through a joint process between local authorities and landowners to pool, redistribute land, and share development costs.
The document is a research paper that assesses the impact of plot standard on physical development in Kano Metropolis, Nigeria. It finds that:
1) Various approved plot sizes and unauthorised plot subdivisions are major factors aiding congestion in the study area and retarding physical development.
2) Most property owners have owned property in the metropolis for many years due to available infrastructure. However, illegal plot subdivisions will likely increase as people compete for land.
3) Over a third of respondents did not have valid title documents, indicating unauthorised plot subdivisions without approval from authorities. Strict enforcement of development laws is needed to regulate physical growth.

Chandigarh remains most misunderstood and manipulated city, facing numerous challenges and crisis. Known to be city of crisis. Chandigarh was conceived in crisis, born in crisis, grown in crisis and continues in crisis of population, poverty, politics and pollution. Despite all these crises, Chandigarh remains a role model in the domain of urban planning, architecture, urban design, landscaping and urban management. Assuring minimum quality of life even to the poorest of poor and offering basic amenities of life, Chandigarh remains the only city in the country, providing minimum two room accommodation, piped water supply, water borne sewerage, and sanitation system, metaled roads, assured electric supply etc. to all the residents of the city. Known for experimentation and commitment of the professionals including, architects, town planners and engineers, who worked tirelessly, has made Chandigarh, one of the finest planned and developed cities, locally and globally, in the post -independent period. Despite limitations and constrains imposed by the non-availability of adequate financial resources, state of art construction technologies, construction machinery etc, Chandigarh showcased how profession of architecture, town planning and engineering can be effectively leveraged to create one of the finest examples of human settlement.

Identification of Potential Heritage Zones in Mysore CityIJMER
The conservation of Heritage Buildings and Areas are important components of heritage
regulations. In order to develop heritage regulations, identification of heritage zones are vital for
developing zone-specific regulations for planning, conserving, managing and controlling the heritage
areas, It serves as an effective tool in Zoning Regulations of the City. Though, Zoning Regulations are
monument-centric, which limited to only identified few monuments, Areas of Special Control and
heritage zones have not been spelt out in Zoning Regulations. In the absence identification of heritage
zones, heritage regulations are not comprehensive in nature. Therefore, there is a need for identifying
heritage zones. In this paper an attempt has been made to identify the potential heritage zones for the

Chandigarh City is a symbol of India’s freedom, an expression of citizen’s
faith in its development, i.e. Urban Form, City Landscape and its
Architecture.
It nurtures a way of life for the people in the machine age civilisation,
unfettered by the traditions of the past and the citizen’s faith to sustain its
legacy for the future generations.
The National or State Laws on archaeological sites and remains or the city
development laws, zoning plans / architectural or building control sheets
prepared under the Punjab Capital (Development & Regulation) Act 1952,
or the Civic Laws, have inherent limitations to conserve the historic cultural
heritage outlined in the Chandigarh City Draft Master Plan 2031.
This presentation covers Enabling heritage law and formulation of
regulations to safeguard-protect the city historic cultural heritage / legacy.
It aims to protect / restore its architectural heritage sustain a healthy work-
living environment and ensure a distinct quality of life for its citizen.
3. UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE RESOLUTION
The International Charter for the conservation and restoration of
monuments and sites (The Venice Charter 1964) adapted by ICOMOS
(Intentional Council on Monuments and Sites) resolved to uphold age-old
traditions-cultures to bring “unity in human values” and regard ancient
monuments as a common heritage to safeguard them for future generations.
It enlarges the scope, concept and definition of historic monuments to
include the more modest works of arts which have acquired cultural
significance and values in the fold of conservation and restoration of sites
and heritage buildings.
It lays recourse to all sciences and techniques to contribute to safeguard the
legacy and architectural heritage buildings, streets and the city landscape.
The UNESCO World Heritage Convention (Paris, 28th

“The cultural and natural heritage is a function in the life of the
community and to integrate the protection of its heritage into
comprehensive planning programmes”.
4. GEO-POLITICAL FRAMEWORK / STATUES
The Chandigarh New Capital Project assumed significance, with geo-
political changes in Punjab. Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru, the first Prime Minister
of Independent India accorded priority, said “Let this be a new city symbolic
of the freedom of India, unfettered by the traditions of the past ... an
expression of the nation’s faith in the future.”
“The Punjab Capital (Development and Regulation) Act, 1952” was enacted
to regulate the development of the New Capital City. This was followed by
regulation of a 16 Km. radius outside the City Master Plan limits under
“The Punjab New Capital (Periphery) Control Act, 1952”.
Reorganisation of Punjab, to constitute Himachal Pradesh & Haryana
States, led to the formation of Chandigarh City as a Union Territory under
“The Punjab Re-Organisation Act, 1966, The laws in force in the erstwhile
State of Punjab have been extended to UT.
Thereafter, the Chandigarh UT Administration have enacted various Rules &
Regulations for governance / development of the City. The civic
functions, have been entrusted to Chandigarh Municipal Corporation
on 24th
May, 1994 under.
5. ANCIENT MONUMENTS / ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITES
“The Ancient Monuments Preservation Act, 1904” or “The Ancient
Monuments and Archaeological Sites and Remains Act 1958” of India or

The mandatory / obligatory provisions in the Civic Laws do not cover
any of the ancient or modern heritage sites and buildings.
The City Edicts / Legacy prohibits eraction of monuments and memorials.
The commemoration of events to be confined to suitably placed bronze plaques.
10. MODEL ENABLING HERITAGE LAW AND REGULATIONS
“Model Enabling City Heritage Law and Regulations” are required to protect
and conserve the city natural heritage areas, eco-sensitive-critical zones,
heritage sites / buildings identified in the Draft Master Plan 2031.
The model city heritage law shall aim to safeguard-protect all Zoning Plans /
Architectural or Building Control Sheets prepared under the “Punjab Capital
(Development & Regulation) Act 1952, the Punjab New Capital (Periphery)
Control Act, 1952” or such other statutory laws applicable to UT or zones, sites
or such other heritage buildings / items notified in the official gazette from time
to time by the Chandigarh UT Administration.
• Vest statutory powers, to declare / protect eco-sensitive areas in
Chandigarh city and its environs, constitute such committees / bodies / persons
to exercise powers to conserve a protected area, namely;
• Vest acquisition rights, receive application of endowment, enter into an
agreement, enforce such agreements on citzen participation.
• Enjoyment of property rights, power to acquire such land / properties
or other heritage items from misuse, pollution or desecration.
11. • Establish a corpus fund, to receive Govt. Grants / Provisions, voluntary
contributions, maintain account of such receipts and expenditure.
• Frame rules, regulations & bylaws, to protect, conserve, maintain &
upkeep the protected areas, sites / buildings or other heritage items in the
city landscape.
Some of the other important issues and requirements for a city heritage law
drawn from enabling heritage laws in India and abroad are as follows:
• Statutory Heritage Listings, to provide a framework for approval /
managing changes so that heritage significance is retained and not
diminished.
• Heritage Registers, the key to listing in Heritage Register is the level of
significance, i.e. heritage sites / buildings or other heritage items that are of
significance to the city legacy. The Heritage Council constituted under a
statute may approve changes that do not compromise the heritage
significance or in any way adversely affect the city legacy or the listed
heritage properties and sites. Such as:
i.Repair, maintenance or minor alterations
ii.Damage adversely affecting the city landscape
iii.Demolition and development
iv.Re-construction and re-development
12. • Assessing Heritage Items, based on firstly understanding the historical /
aesthetic / inherent values attached to the city legacy. The next step is to
relate the particular item to the relevant themes. The assessor then needs to
work out how well the item demonstrates the themes, and to what extent it
meets the heritage assessment criteria.
• Heritage Study, identifies and assesses heritage issues / items that reflect
the legacy or key historical themes of a city. It also makes recommendations
on heritage policies, constitution of the heritage council to adopt / protect
and conserve the identified heritage legacy.
• Formulation of a city environment / heritage plan, translates the
recommendations of the heritage study into a legal document that provides
a broad framework for future management of the areas of heritage
significance / importance.
• Heritage Conservation, the process of looking after the important sites /
buildings or other heritage items in the city legacy. Keep records / maintain
a data bank on the physical condition of heritage sites / buildings or other
heritage items in the city. Do everything in a logical / systematic / scientific
manner.
13. • Community / Citizen Responsibility, debate upon the multifarious
heritage issues and findings, so that the decisions of the statutorily
constituted heritage council / bodies under the heritage law reflect the
citizen’s participation / majority view. The staff of the Heritage Office to
provides administrative and technical support for the Heritage Council, its
Committees and Panels.
• Heritage Nodal Agency / Funding Assistance, the Heritage Nodal Agency
constituted under the heritage laws to manage the Heritage Program i.e.
projects, publications and heritage advisory services to conservation work
on heritage sites / buildings to protect the city legacy. Applications called
from community / organisations / NGO’s / institutions considered for
executing agreements, on-going or new 2 to 3 year agreements.
• Heritage Agreements, NGO’s / community organisations / institutions /
public and private owners of significant heritage sites / buildings or other
heritage items to receive benefits from the government through a heritage
agreement. These benefits may be made available for:
i.Land tax relief;
ii.Payment of transfer stamp duty; and
iii.Relief from local tax rates or other levies.
