The implementation of global, modern urban planning principles has influenced India’s new urban planning and development schemes, which are outlined in statutory development plans. This study assesses the level of preparedness of Indian cities to implement these schemes by evaluating the extent to which their development plan policies address global, modern urban principles. The policies were graded for each principle, and the cities were ranked based on their total grade. The study reveals that Indian cities have not fully adopted modern urban principles in their development plan policies, and there are significant variations in the implementation of these principles across different cities.

Abstract


The implementation of global, modern urban planning principles has influenced India’s new urban planning and development schemes, which are outlined in statutory development plans. This study assesses the level of preparedness of Indian cities to implement these schemes by evaluating the extent to which their development plan policies address global, modern urban principles. The policies were graded for each principle, and the cities were ranked based on their total grade. The study reveals that Indian cities have not fully adopted modern urban principles in their development plan policies, and there are significant variations in the implementation of these principles across different cities.
