 PERSPECTIVE PLAN
• Perspective plan defines the vision and focuses on the spatio‐economic development policies, strategies and
programmes towards the intended development of the State.
• The Perspective Plan of a State could include ‐ State Urbanisation Policy and State Land Utilisation Policy.
• The plan is based on state resource mapping and analysis and assessment of potential resources.
• It addresses the long term policies regarding development of infrastructure and resource mobilisation.
• The scope of this plan covers the social, economic, environmental and spatial development goals, policies and
priorities relating to the activities that have spatial and financial implications.

 PERSPECTIVE PLAN
• For planned and sustainable development of the human settlements,
• the regional planning approach needs to be promoted. The planning regions could be classified under
three heads:
• (a) Administrative Regions,
which can be District Regions or Metropolitan Regions as per the recommendations of the 73rd & 74th Co
nstitutional Amendment Act,
• (b) Investment Regions,
which can be new investment manufacturing zones, industrial and freight corridors, special investm
ent regions etc. They could be identified under National Acts/ policies,
• (c) Special regions,
which are sensitive in terms of environment/ socio economic or political aspects.
• States undertake Urban and Regional Planning under a variety of statutes such as the Town and
Country Planning Act, Municipal Laws, Urban/Metropolitan Planning/ Development Act,
• Improvement Trust Act, Industrial Development Act, Cantonment Board Act, Major Ports Act etc.

URBAN REDEVELOPMENT
•Urban redevelopment is conceptually similar to
land readjustment, with the exception that it
happens in existing urban areas and often involves
a rezoning by the government of a given area
from a low-density (single-family housing) to
higher-density (mixed-use or commercial)
development.
• It is also accompanied by a provision of
infrastructure improvements (mass transit, such
as metro lines) that can support such up-zoning.
•Japan has a comprehensive scheme for
implementing this tool under its Urban
Redevelopment Law. This scheme allows
landowners, tenants, and developers to use the
opportunity of new transit development in built-
up areas to create development opportunities.
•The government helps with and benefits from this
process by changing zoning codes from
residential to mixed-use, while also allowing for
up-zoning.

URBAN RENEWAL
•Urban renewal, which is generally called urban
regeneration, is a program of land redevelopment
in areas of moderate to high-density urban land
use.
•Renewal has had both successes and failures. Its
modern incarnation began in the late 19th century
in developed nations and experienced an intense
phase in the late 1940s – under the rubric of
reconstruction.
•The process has had a major impact on many
urban landscapes and has played an important
role in the history and demographics of cities
around the world.
•Urban renewal involves the relocation of
businesses, the demolition of structures and the
relocation of people. In some cases, renewal ay
results in urban sprawl and less congestion.

URBAN RENEWAL
•Urban renewal has been seen by proponents as
an economic engine and a reform mechanism,
and by critics as a mechanism for control.
•The reforming of building blocks and usage of
the site will have a great impact on the surrounding
neighborhood in terms of economic,
environmental and social aspects.
•The new building will effect on the microclimate
since the change of building mass and location.
Because of the new construction in the renewal
project, it usually create better business
environment and hence leads to a certain degree
of economic growth. It may enhance existing
communities, and in some cases result in the
demolition of neighborhoods.

URBAN REHABLITATION

•The area devoted to regenerating and

conserving the built heritage or the urban
environment, including the ecosystems.
•In addition to the refurbishment of historical
buildings and townscapes, such activities also
comprise the modernization and upgrading of
technical facilities and the respect of
environmental and security norms and
standards.

URBAN REHABLITATION

•The Urban regeneration includes at least the following

components: -
• spatial history, architecture, infrastructure
• social social structure
• social dimensions
• financial aspect: market economy or a state-
centralised system
•organisational aspect
•legal aspect
•Urban rehabilitation has several levels and scales: -
•the country-size rehabilitation
• the town-size rehabilitation
• the town-part
•the architectural rehabilitation building scale.

URBAN REHABLITATION

•Urban rehabilitation then is both rehabilitation of

people and society.
•It includes new buildings, and not only care for the old
ones, it includes the environment as an entirety and
not only a part of it.
• Urban rehabilitation must be based on the organic
continuation of the historical development of the town
and village up to now, spatial and social.

URBAN CONSERVATION

•The urban conservation strategic objectives include

encouraging continued occupation and maintenance
of buildings of architectural or historic significance
and providing for new development compatible with
them.
•Urban conservation is concerned with those parts of the
built environment that are of architectural or historic
significance. This includes buildings (individually or in
groups), localities (streets, blocks, environments or
precincts), special gardens or landscapes, and other
structures.

RURAL- URBAN FRINGE
•In 1951 the American land economist H M
Meyer for the first time defined rural-urban fringe as
“the transition zone between the city and rural
agriculture area where a mixed land use pattern
having both rural and urban practices are
located”.
•Rural-Urban fringe refers to the interface zone
between the purely urban industrial, urban
commercial physical growth of the city and the
absolute rural agrarian landscape with village
panchayat system where new urban land usage is
replacing the rural land use as well as the
occupational pattern.
