10. Urban Planning

Urban, city, and town planningintegrates land use
planning and transportation planning to improve the
built, economic and social environments of
communities. Regional planning deals with a still
larger environment, at a less detailed level.

Urban planning can include urban renewal, by
adapting urban planning methods to existing cities
suffering from decay and lack of investment.

11. Approaches in Urban Planning

Physical Planning (a traditional approach which
resulted in the development of static MASTER
PLANS) included:

Survey

Analysis

Plan

Systematic Planning (lays emphasis on the
interaction of two parallel systems and results in the
development of structure plans) includes:

Managing and controlling the system

Planning of the system

12. Approaches in Urban Planning
(Contd.)

Systematic Planning

System comprises of:

Objects

Connectivity

Flow

Flexible

Social development is also considered with the
actual location of building and design

13. Types of Urban Development Plans

Regional Plan

A large, usually continuous segment of a surface or space;
area.

A specified district or territory.

A part of the earth characterized by distinctive animal or plant

deals with the efficient placement of land use activities,
infrastructure, and settlement growth across a significantly
larger area of land than an individual city or town.


Structure Plan

Originated in the United Kingdom

A Structure Planis an old-style development
plan, which sets out strategic planning policies
and forms the basis for detailed policies in Local
Plans.

15. Types of Urban Development Plans
(Contd.)

Structure plans were first introduced by the 1968 Town and
Country Planning Act, as strategic level development plans,
prepared either by a county council or by local authorities
working jointly together.

They consisted of a broad framework of policies looking forward
up to 20 years ahead, supported by a "key diagram" showing
land use, transport and environmental proposals
diagrammatically (that is, not on a locationally specific map
base).

Local plans, prepared by district rather than county councils,
were required to accord with the overall strategy set out in the
structure plan.

16. Types of Urban Development Plans
(Contd.)

Local Plan or Local Area Development Plan

A Local Planis a development plan prepared by
district and other local planning authorities.

It is prepared in the light of policy guidelines given
in Structure Plan
