How to Make Efficient Development Planning: A Critical Review of RUDA Development Plan
Abstract: Since the post-independence era, urban planning has been dominated by “Rational Planning” model, which has been practiced through preparation and implementation of master/development plan for smart growth and sustainable development of cities. As a resultant of this, urban planning has been deeply guided and monitored by public agencies through land use zoning and development control regulations. In India, urban development authorities have been given the responsibility for formulating development plan …
