Draft Delhi Master Plan 2041
The Master Plan for Delhi is one of the key instruments that facilitates Delhi’s development by assessing the present condition and guiding how to achieve the desired development.
The master plan document provides information on four main aspects:
- Use of land for various purposes, i.e. residential, commercial, industrial, recreational, transportation, utilities, government, public and semi-public facilities, green belt, and water body;
- Development codes (i.e. space/size standards for buildings, parking, basements) to regulate development; (iii) development guidelines for various implementing agencies; and
- Plan monitoring and review framework. The main aim of preparing and implementing a master plan is to ensure the proper use of land, protect the environment, and preserve the people’s cultures and traditions.
The draft plan aims to minimise vehicular pollution through key strategies, including a switch to greener fuels for public transport and adoption of mixed-use of transit-oriented development (also known as TOD). It also addresses improving the quality of water, which is taken from the Yamuna river as well as various lakes, natural drains and baolis. The draft lays a clear boundary of the buffer zone near the Yamuna river and explores how to develop it. As per the plan, a green buffer of 300-metre width shall be maintained wherever feasible along the entire edge of the river.
