NEED OF THE EXERCISE


Due to the urbanization, our towns and cities are growing very fast but in organic way. Planned development is lacking in most of our towns and cities because of which these towns and cities are facing various kinds of problems. To avoid even to solve these problems, there is a tiny town or city. For this, Master Plan is a major requirement. Hence, study of that town/city is fundamental step and is provides is base for proportion of Master Plan.

THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
1. COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING PROCESS
Comprehensive planning is a term used in the united states by land use planners to describe a process that determines community goals aspirations in terms of community development.. comprehensive plan which dictates public policy in terms of transportation, utilities, land use, recreation, and housing.. Comprehensive plans typically encompass large geographical areas, a broad range of topics, and cover a long-term time horizon. Basically called as landuse plan. and

OF

FOLLOWING STAGES
Stage 1 : Identifying Issues The planner must first address the issue they are investigating. to be relevant, the planning process must identity and address not only contemporary issues of concern to residents, workers, property owners, and business people, but also the emerging issues that will be important in the future.[] generally, planners determine community issues by involving various community leaders, community organizations,and ordinary citizens. Stage 2 : Setting Of Goals Once issues have been identified then e established. Goals or vision. Fix and establish priorities. Stage 3 : Collecting Data And Projection Data is needed in the planning process in order to evaluate current city conditions as well as to predict future conditions. Data collected for a comprehensive plan include data about the environment, traffic conditions, economic conditions, social conditions (such as population and income), public services and utilities, and land use conditions (such as housing and zoning).

once this data is collected it is analyzed and studied. Outcomes of the data collection process include population projections, economic condition forecasts, and future housing needs. Stage 4 : Plan Preparation The plan is prepared using the information/data gathered during the data collection and goal setting stages. Comprehensive plan begins by giving a brief background of the current and future conditions found in the data collection step. Stage 5 : Implementation Plans During this stage of the process different programs are thought of in order to implement the goals of the plan. These plans focus on issues such as cost and effectiveness. These different plans are known as development plans.

COMPREHENSIVE DEVELOPMENT PLAN


Arthur b. Gallion, urban pattern The comprehensive development plan is a guide to orderly city development to promote health, safety, welfare and convenience of the people of a community. It organizes and coordinates the complex relationships between urban land uses and many civic activities. It reflects the policies by which mentioned goals may be achieved. Partap m rao This is another terminology used for a comprehensive plan. a town development plan is an official public document adopted by a local government as a policy guide to decisions about the physical development of the community. It indicates a general way how the community has to be developed in next 20-30 years. Arnold whittick A comprehensive development plan comprises written stateaments, maps and diagrams prepared by an authority responsible. It is based upon a survey

and analysis and ideally should be revised periodically from trends observed in the monitoring of survey information. Derived definition A document , or series of documents, that serves as a guide for making land use changes, preparation of capital improvement programs, and the rate, timing and location of future growth. It is based upon establishing long-term goals and objective to guide the future growth of the city.

2. PERSPECTIVE PLAN
A perspective plan is a long term(20-25 years) written document supported by necessary maps and diagrams providing the state government the goals, policies, stratergies regarding spatio-economic development of settlement under its goverence. this was the scheme given by town and country planning organisation.but till today in punjab there is no single plan is prepared named as perspective plan. Having time period of development plan called phasing. This plan presents to the state government and local people regarding the intensions of local bodyn for the development of their jurisdiction area for next 20-25 years. Scope of the plan covers social, economic and spatial development with policies and priorities relating to all those urban activities having spatial implication. Displays land required for the urban activities as in form of phases. Great care is always to minimize the conflicts between the environment and urban development. the basic purpose of a perspective plan is to provide policy framework for further detailing .it serves as guide for local authority in preparation of development plan. 20 years with 4

3. DEVELOPMENT PLAN
Development plan was prepared within framework of the approved perspective plan. It is medium term 5 year plan for spatio-economic

development of urban area. Objective of plan is to provide further necessary details and actions in form of stratergies and physical proposals for various policies given in perspective plan. It depends upon priorities and economic needs of the society. The scope of the plan proposals for development of urban centers including transportation and landuse, housing and other infrastructure.

It should be implemented with the help of schemes and projects. The time period of 5 years also suits the provisions of 74 th caa 1992 as municipality having five year of its tenure.
