 Development plan :-

• For a successful town planning there must be a plan which envisages the entire
town plan as a single unit.
• The development or expansion of town plan takes a long time , & therefore , the
development is required to be controlled at any time on the basis of a plan . Such
plan is called ‘Development Plan’ or ‘Master Plan’.
• The development plan generally improves the old conditions of the town but it is
also equally necessary for the new cities to be planned and built on virgin land.
E.g. New Delhi , Gandhinagar , Chandigarh , etc.
• A development plan is a ideal plan showing the full development of the town at
some future date.
