almost three years to meet the challenges of urban development in the National Capital Territory of Delhi and its satellites.
The Master Plan for 2021 identifies diverse issues which have been playing a decisive role in the urban development of the capital. The Master Plan for New Delhi has been conceived taking cognizance of the following factors:
Population Explosion: The plan signifies the socio economic dynamics and socio economic factors which have undergone a drastic shift owing to population explosion in the capital mainly because of migration of economically deprived class.
Scarcity of Land: The plan has taken notion of the very hard and bitter truth that just like other resources, even Land is depleting day by day and hence any recommendation made in the plan has to direct prudent use of land so that its paucity can be effectively tackled. To serve the purpose built-up accommodation of about 25 sq m area in multi-storied structures is thought to be allotted in place of 18 sq m and 12.5 sq m plots.
Allocation of Land: The Delhi New Master Plan makers have laid emphasis on the transport and parking issues in the city. The growing vehicular traffic issue has been addressed by proposing integrated multi-modal transportation system, and initiating various types of vehicular parking.
