Cluster
Plots or dwelling units or housing grouped around an open space .
Ideally housing cluster should not be very large. In ground and one
storeyed structures not more than 20 houses should be grouped in
a cluster.
Clusters with more dwelling units will create problems in identity,
encroachments and of maintenance.

Types of ClusterBack-to-Back Cluster

Clusters when joined back to
back and/or on sides.

Interlocking Cluster

Clusters when join their back and on

sides with at least one side of a cluster
common and having some dwelling units
opening onto or having access from the
adjacent clusters.
Dwelling units in such clusters should
have at least two sides open to external
open space.
Houses in an interlocking cluster can have
access, ventilation and light from the
adjacent cluster and should also cater for
future growth.

Density
The density norms for plotted development and mixed
development shall be as follows:

Open Clusters

Closed Clusters

Cluster where cluster open spaces are linked to form a

continuous open space.

Clusters with only one

common entry into cluster
open space .

SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS OF CLUSTER PLANNING FOR

HOUSING
Plot size:

Cul-de-sac Cluster

Independent Cluster

Clusters surrounded from all

Plots/dwelling units when
sides by vehicular access roads
located along a pedestrianized
and/or pedestrian paths.
or vehicular cul-de-sac road.

The minimum plot size permissible shall be 15m2 with 100%

ground coverage and FSI of 200% ground coverage and FSI of two
will be applicable up to plot size of 25m2.
For plot size beyond 25m2, provision in accordance with good
practice shall b applicable

SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS FOR LOW INCOME HOUSING IN

URBAN AREAS

The layout should generally conform to the following

land use:

Group Housing:

Group housing may be permitted with in cluster housing

concept.
However, dwelling units with plinth areas up to 20m2 should
have scope for adding a habitable room.
group housing in a cluster should not be more than 15 m in
height

Density:

CUL-DE SAC CLUSTER

INDEPENDENT CLUSTER

LIBRARY STUDY- HOUSING

Cluster planning methodologies result in higher densities with

low rise structures.
With per dwelling unit covered area of 15 m2 densities of 500
dwelling units per hectare (net) shall be permissible.

Specifics
Located in Hosur, near Bengaluru.
Designed by Charles Correa.
Green areas created by Titan are accessible to the public at large.
Many of the sites and houses are being sold to outsiders.
Site

Size of modules:
The basic square modules are 44 metres by 44 metres and these are
combined to form clusters of 2,4,8 or 16 modules.
The roads servicing these modules are kept to very short cul-desacs, so they can carry an unusually high level of service
infrastructure (underground electric lines, cable television, etc)

It is located in the outskirts of the city of Hosur and is just off the
Mathigiri road and is about 3 kms from the railway station.
The city experiences a pleasantly moderate climate.
The site is mostly flat.
It is surrounded by privately owned residential plots.

All houses are 3 bedroom duplexes.

The types are classified on basis of location and size of the garden
provided.
They are in ascending order of size of green area as given:

Features
Each house is directly connected to the public roads at one end and
to the community back-garden at the other.
Entrance to these back-gardens is possible only at certain gate-way
entrances - at which are located public amenities (kindergartens,
community centres, etc) to provide easy and informal control.

CASE STUDY- TITAN TOWNSHIP, BANGLURU

PLANNING
The basic planning unit is the back-garden i.e. an area which
cannot be entered except through one of the surrounding houses.
This provides special amenities and security to the families who
live there, but gives a special identity to their neighborhood.
The idea was not to build an isolated company town, but instead
to create workers housing that was an organic part of the
urbanization taking place outside Bangalore.
The leftover edges of the site were then sealed off with rows of
individual plots.
The basic module is the smallest back-garden which, with the
surrounding house-plots, measures 45m x 45m. These are
combined to form clusters of 2, 4, 16 modules.
The roads servicing these modules are kept to very short cul-desacs, so they can carry an unusually high level of service
infrastructure (underground electric lines, cable television, etc.)
and yet remain affordable in context.
In these modules, each house is directly connected to the public
roads at one end and to the community back-garden at the other.
