We want to make this process as

Public Participatory as

possible!!

Existing DP

• The Development Plan (Maps and a Report on the Development Plan)

• Development Control Regulations Commonly referred to as the DCRs

• Reservation Document giving the various reservations ward wise

Contents of the DP

What DP could have

• Layers of development control maps and regulations for various issues in the

city

• Proper zoning and sub-division plan

• Implementation Strategies for prescribed development in the DP

• Development Control Regulations for all layers of the city fabric

• Should not circumvent the development control guidelines by giving executive powers to

bureaucracy

•Area-wise implementation of the existing DP according to the MCGM is only 12%

•The current DP does only amenity provision however it has a broader implication on the nature of the development of the city

The development plan should be open providing for all classes of people

provide for equitable distribution in the allocation of resources and development

development plan should make optimal use of resources
