Jamshedpur was established in the beginning of the 20th century as home of the first privately owned steel factory in india at Sakchi in Singhbhum district. Tata Steel acquired 3,564 acres of waste land in Sakchi and 2 few neighboring vilages on the undulating central ridge, a watershed between the two rivers. ‘The site was graded in 1907-9 for building the steel plant at the highest point on the western spur; reservoirs were built for waterworks inside the plant; railway tracks were laid from main line at Kalimati and factory units constructed along them, is also known for its city management structure as large part of the Jamshedpur city is governed by the Tata group that manages the provision for basic urban services in Jamshedpur Tata Steel company is now world’s tenth largest steel manufacturing company, JAMSHEDPUR 1907 ie 8 Map of Jamshedpur in 1907 SITE SELECTION CRITERIA The important factors involved in the location of iron and steel industry are availabilty of raw materials, power resources, water, labor, markets and the transport facilities LaBour + Bengal, Madras and Mumbai provided skiled labor. + Unskilled labor were abundant locally. which were all favoring a small village named Sakch.

Later, it acquired the name Jamshedpur and its nearby railway station Kalimati was renamed at ‘Totanagar, named for industrialist amsetji Nasarwanii Tate. + The city was concentrated between Railway line and Subarnarekha River. The districts within 150 Kms radius of Jamshedpur are rich in minerals, including iron ore, coal, manganese and lime. + The company town designed for 10,000 residents with few public spaces and ‘streets became the nucleus for later growth of Jamshedpur into the industrial city. + Itemployed modern town planning principles, ushering in modernity through new modes of spatiality and lifestyles associated with industrialization. + The city has registered more that twelve thousand times growth from Census 1911 to Census 2011. line of Citys growth Map of amshedpur in 1927 ‘The built density was highest in the Sakchi and Bistupur locality.

SAHLIN AND KENNEDY PLAN. 2910 PROBLEM WITH SAHLIN AND KENNEDY PLAN The plan ignored the acute need for housing laborers with the result that clusters of mud huts sprang up around the towns and close to the factory gates. ‘CLUSTERS OF MUD HUTS AROUND THE TOWNS AND CLOSE TO THE FACTORY. FREDRICK C. TEMPLE PLAN- 1920 {As the Steel production of the plant grew (due to World War 1), population of the township increased and the old Kennedy plan became obsolete Fredrick C.

Working Class ‘ s. ‘Comeuuters Zone OTTO KOENIGSBERGER’S PLAN- 1944 In 1943, Dr. Koenigsberger was invited to advise on the planning of the town. His team prepared a master plan based on garden city principles and construction of neighborhood units. He designated the industrial and residential areas of the city as two primary zones of development in accordance with his band town’ planning concept. The ‘band’ form was suited to the desirable segregation of housing and industry in two separate but parallel zones minimizing distances to the open country, Street hierarchy ‘The planning ideals induced: 1. Open green spaces of the garden city as an antidote to Industialization, 2. Urban infrastructure adapted to local site conditions, 3. Neighborhood units self-sufficient in civic amenities, and 4. Street hierarchy asa means of traffic segregation. Jamshedpur's housing pattern, though stratified was mixed and could not be forced into a neat gradient of concentric rings. However was unwilling to give up and endeavored to put ingarden city principles wherever space permitted His dispute was that linear growth along transportation arteries was the best solution to the problems posed by the concentric growth around the place of employment. Massive urban surgery was untenable, so Koenigsberger proposed for a garden suburb on the forested slopes of Dalma Hills for 200 medium income families who could do the daily commute 7 miles to the Steel Plant He prepared a master plan, which was accepted by the Tata Stee! Company.

Around 16 percent population of the JUA were under rural development department of the state where remainig portion was looked under urban governance. Notified area comiitee is managed by a subsidiary company of TATA and SONS named Jamshedpur Urban Services Company Ltd (JUSCO). While the area under TISCO have developed in a planned manner based on all the above expert inputs, the outside areas have continued to grow at fast pace one would expect to see near a major industrial centre. This growth was generally organic in nature as the state or the region did not have 2 proper plan or development control rules. This has resulted in the present urban agglomeration. New high rise buliding are coming in the Adiyapur town on the north of the Jamshedpur. Construction of new bridges on the river Subanarekha River gives ample opportunities of urban expansion.
