Question

In the present scenario why have the master plan not been implemented properly in the case of some cities​

Answer 1

Answer:

We observed that early master plans are somewhat successful in providing broad guidance on each city’s population projections and main structural forms. However, they were implemented only to a limited extent or proved rather ineffective in concretely guiding development, especially in terms of major land uses and supporting infrastructure and facilities.

For example, we assessed the degree to which various types of land uses align with previous master plans, in the city center versus peri-urban areas.

Further, cities with master plans existing from earlier decades did not show better conformity compared to cities that adopted master plans later; over time, this conformity did not change or improve significantly either. However, notably, residential conformity in core urban areas is generally high (ranging from around 48 percent to 78 percent conformity), while economic uses (commercial and industrial areas) have relatively lower levels of conformity—averaging around 17 percent and 25 percent, respectively.
