The document summarizes the key changes made in the Urban and Regional Development Plans Formulation & Implementation (URDPFI) guidelines. The URDPFI guidelines were formed in two volumes and introduced in 2014 to replace the Urban Development Plans Formulation & Implementation (UDPFI) guidelines from 1996. The new guidelines accommodate wide changes in urban development systems over the past two decades related to issues like population growth, globalization, and sustainability. The guidelines cover topics like regional planning approaches, plan formulation processes, resource mobilization, and simplified planning techniques.

2.  Planning is a continuous process & planning system should be
such that it ensures continuity.
 Earlier town planning was a piecemeal process but after
Independence the city planning experienced tremendous growth &
challenges for resettlement due to political changes.
 Several resettlement, new Industrial base towns & urban centers
were under process of planning & masters & town planners
conclude that land use plans are needed to guide development of
urban centers to promote orderly development & healthy living
environment.
 For this purpose the ministry of Urban affairs & employment,
governing of India organized a national workshop on master plan
approach during February 24-25, 1995.
 The research study of this workshop awarded as UDPFI –
Urban development plans formulation and implementation guidelines.

3. The Urban Development Plans Formulation & Implementation (UDPFI) Guidlines was formulated in 1996 following
the recomendations of the National Workshop on Master Plan Approach. The first National level planning guidelines,
referred to as ‘Urban Development Plans formulation and Implementation guidelines’ (UDPFI) were framed in 1996
by Institute of Town Planners, India.
Since 1996, many changes have taken place in the field of urban development espically in view of emerging needs
and requirments of urban settlments due to rapid popualtion growth and other reasons like globlizationand
liberalization. Towns and cities are dynamic entities and are being subjected to unprecented changes in terms of
requirments of infrastructure and other basic sevices or amenities. Besides, emerging issues like land use and
transport integration within the TOD design and planning for green, compact and smart cities, along with building
safer cities are at the riverfront. Comprehensive Moblity Plans (CMP) for Urban Transport, Service Level Benchmark,
Disaster Management, Inclusive Planning, Sustainable Habitat, Enviromentally Sustainable Transport and Urban
Reforms have added to the challenges, urging significant changes in the UDPFI Guidlines, 1996.
Therefore to accommodate the wide change in urban development systems since 1996 the new ammendment was
made :
The Urban and Regional Devlopment Plans Formulation & Implementation (URDPFI)

4. URDPFI Guidlines are formed into two volumes each volumes having different concept.

7. The study of UDPFI norms and standards is needed to evolve:
 System that is dynamic, flexible and efficient.
 Process that is less time consuming.
 Innovative ideas of land assembly and fiscal resource mobilization.
 Simple & effective form of laws, rules and regulations.
 Urban Development p and Plan Formulation and Implementation Guidelines were prepared in year 1996.
 Formulating Guidelines for preparation of spatial development plans and resource mobilization plans of small, medium
and large sized urban centres.
 Promoting efficient implementation mechanisms and innovative techniques for promotion of planned spatioeconomic
development of urban areas.
 Simplification of Town Planning laws and their amendments / restructuring.
 Primarily meant for the guidance of State Town and Country Planning Departments, Urban Development Authorities and
 Urban Local Bodies for preparation of Master Plans / Development Plans and formulating Norms / Standards thereof in
order to ensure planned development of towns and cities.

8.  Since 1996, many changes have taken place in the field of urban development especially in view of emerging needs /
requirements of urban settlements due to rapid population growth and other reasons like globalization and
liberalization.
 Towns and cities are dynamic entities and are subjected to unprecedented changes in terms of requirements of
infrastructure and other basic services / amenities.

24. Globally, the more urbanised countries have higher levels of income and prosperity. Indian States also exhibit the same
trend. At the same time, urbanisation is also perceived to be correlated with pollution, congestion and inferior quality of
life. This would call for developing a paradigm of urban development that would bring in higher levels of prosperity, but
without the concomitant negative effects. The URDPFI has attempted to develop such a framework.
Population Trend : The Census 2011 and 2001 give useful indicators for the trends in urbanisation in India. The
three urban agglomerations, viz. Greater Mumbai, Delhi and Kolkata, have crossed the 10 million mark in population,
but with much reduced the rate of growth. The Million Plus population cities have shown a growth of over 48 per cent,
but the number of such cities has gone up from 35 to 53 and five cities viz. Chennai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad,
Ahmedabad and Pune have attained more than 50 lakh population.
Nonstatutory towns : The trend of urbanisation is reflected remarkably in the size of towns that carry the growing
urban population. As per Census‐ 2011, there are 7933 towns including 4041 Statutory towns and 3892 Census towns.
It would be of great help to all if the Master Plan of the City/ Region incorporates the relevant features of all such sector
specific plan. Also, the sector specific plans need to align with the framework of the overall Master Plan.

27. It consist of
a. Perspective plan:
20-25years duration .
Includes Maps & Diagrams .
Stategovernment’s goal, policies, strategies of urban
local authority regarding spatio-economic
development.
b. Development plan :
Conceived within Frame work of approved
Perspective plan.
Medium Duration for 5 years.
Proposals for socio-economic & spatial development
of urban centers Including land use.
c. Annual plan:
Conceived within the frame work of Development plan.
Details of new & ongoing projects for local authority
to implement in financial year
Necessary fiscal resources mobilization.
d. Plan of Projects/schemes:
•Conceived within the frame work of approved
development Plan.
•Includes detailed working layouts with cost of
development, source of Finance & recovery instruments
for Execution by a public or private agency.

29. TDR is a technique of land development, which separates the
development potential of a particular parcel of land from it and
allows its use elsewhere within the defined zones of the city.
It allows the owner to sell the development rights of a particular
parcel of land to another. This entitlement is over and above the
usual FSI available for receiving plot in accordance with the
prevailing laws and regulations, which entitles a land-owner to
construct additional built-up area on his existing building or
vacant land.
TDR is taken away from the zone and it is tradable which makes it
different from Accommodation Reservation. This is also generally
used for redevelopment of inner city zones and for
reconstruction / re-development and has been tried out in
numerous cities/ States including Bengaluru, Chennai, Mumbai
and Rajasthan.
However it has its prospects and consequences as experienced
from the implementation in various cities. For instance, unbridled
pooling of TDRs could damage the urban form, TOD strategies,
quality of public spaces, etc. Hence it should
be used carefully within a predefined spatial framework. States

30. Metropolitan area is a large urban settlement, which has population from 10
lakh and above. The aerial extent of such settlements is huge and often spread
across multiple districts. India has 53 metropolitan cities per Census, 2011.
Many of these cities have already been covered by metropolitan planning or
development authorities, such as Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Bangalore,
Hyderabad, Ahmedabad and Guwahati.
Formulation of Metropolitans Authorities was conceived with the idea of
initiating the integrated planning and development of the major cities and their
surrounding areas. Constitution requires the States to constitute Metropolitan
Planning Committees through State legislature. Various States- West Bengal,
Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh have issued procedures for formulation of
Metropolitan Planning Committee (MPC) and metropolitan areas like Kolkata,
Mumbai, Nagpur, Pune have MPCs.
However, only Kolkata MPC has prepared a Metropolitan Development Plan
(MDP). This has been referred as a lesson to guide the MPC formulation and
integration in the existing scenario.

The density of 125 pph is max. factor for small town & average for medium town & large cities & minimum for
Metro cities for their identification & survival.

33. Comment -
Land use structure of urban center depends upon its function and size. Due to higher density in metros the land use for
residential purpose is less compared to smaller areas with less density.
Land use distribution for industrial, commercial and recreational purpose increases as we move from small town to
metro cities.

65. Disaster means a catastrophe, mishap, calamity or grave
occurrence affecting any area from natural and manmade
causes, or by accident or negligence, which results in
substantial loss of life or human suffering or damage to,
and destruction of property, or damage to, or degradation of
environment and is of such a nature and magnitude as to be
beyond the capacity of the community of the affected areas.
As it is clear from the definition disaster may impact
human habitat in a severe manner. Hence it is evident to
manage these disasters at appropriate level so that impact
can be minimised. The disaster management is continuous
and integrated process of planning, organising, coordinating
and implementing measures which are necessary or
expedient for prevention, preparedness, mitigation,
capacity building in pre disaster phase and response, relief
and rehabilitation in post disaster phase as shown in
Figure.

69. Section 31 of Disaster Management Act 2005 (DM Act), makes it mandatory to
have a disaster management plan for every district. DDMP shall include Hazard
Vulnerability Capacity and Risk Assessment (HVCRA), prevention, mitigation,
preparedness measures, response plan and procedures.
An indicative list with possible plan objectives is given below:
i. To identify the areas vulnerable to major types of the hazards in the district.
ii. To adopt proactive measures at district level by all the govt. departments to
preventdisaster and mitigate its effects.
iii. To define and assign the different tasks and responsibilities to stakeholders
during the pre-disaster and post-disaster phases of the disaster.
iv. To enhance disaster resilience of the people in the district by way of capacity
building.
v. Reduce the loss of public and private property, especially critical facilities and
infrastructure, through proper planning.
vi. Manage future development to mitigate the effect of natural hazards in the
district.
