 Background Study :

 Received the assent of the President on the Eighth day of March, 1963

First published in the 1[Karnataka Gazette]1 on the Twenty-eighth day of

March, 1963.

 With the formation of the New state of Mysore it has become necessary to
have a uniform law for the regulation of planned growth of land use and
development and for the making and executing of town planning schemes in
the State.

Physical Planning has to precede economic planning as otherwise cities, towns

and villages of our country will grow to unmanageable sizes without proper
planning resulting in unhealthy surroundings.

Physical planning with coordinated effort on a large scale is necessary if the

people are to live in a better, healthier and happier environment.

The proposed measure is expected to solve the Town Planning problems.
