The Narendra Modi-led governments recent move to join hands with the Indian Space Research
Organisation (ISRO) to use space technology demonstrates a fast-emerging trend - modernisation
of theurban planning processin India.

The space technologytools, developed by the space agencys National Remote Sensing Centre in
Hyderabad (https://www.proptiger.com/hyderabad-real-estate), will map 500 cities in India,
capturingdetails such as the extent of land use, urban occupation of a city, wastelands, etc. It will
 also study the areas and geography closely and predictood hazards. After the initial phase, the
city mapping project will be extended to over 4,000 urban bodies.

The government is undertaking training programmes in the urban planning department to ensure
complete and seamless adoption of this technology.

Remote tools to help

The details obtained through technology will help urban planners make informed decisions in
designing master plans and alsoensure high success rate of various infrastructure projects.

Apart from accurate and up-to-date information ona city, urban planners will be able to assess the
needs of a city through technology. The tools will also help the government in provisioning
for adequate water supply, better cleaning of sewerage, access to storm-water drains and other
similar disasters, besides other things. Urban planners can also get a better view of utilities like
pedestrian walks and plan parks in cities to ensure a good mix of greenery.

The government is also coming up remote sensing applications to get instant and regular updates
6
on construction of projects. Such apps could be of great help to implement large-size projects

such as Housing for All by 2022, which involves construction of over 20 million homes across 300

cities. Not only will these apps help in getting authentic information on the progress of these
projects, they will also help plan affordable housing projects better.

Citizen participation

The details, which will be uploaded on the ISRO portal Bhuvan, will help the public access details

of cities, plans, and projects that are underway. The dissemination of information will get better
participation from citizens at the planning stage itself. The portal will host forums where citizens
can post their grievances online, offer feedback on ongoing projects and also give suggestions on
specic plans.
