DELHI MASTER PLAN-2021
Development of master plan 2021 Delhi Master plan-2021 was drafted in end 2005.
The implementation of the Master Plan of Delhi 2021 was discussed by the Delhi Cabinet on December 27.
The Delhi Master Plan 2021 has been finally notified on
February 7, 2007, six years after it was due.
The Plan acknowledges 7,000 objections/suggestions.
Board of Enquiry, which met 17 times.
afforded personal hearing to only 611 persons/organizations.
VISION-2021 Vision 2021 is to make Delhi a
global metropolis and a WORLD CLASS city.
What the term “world class” means is undefined except somewhat meaningless commitment “where all the people would be engaged in productive work with a better quality of life, living in a sustainable environment”.
Though, this statement should logically apply to all settlements and societies, whether “world class” or not.
VISION-2021 The population of Delhi in 2001 was 138 lakh as against
the MPD-2001 projection of 128 lakh.
MPD 2021 comments that “this has had its inevitable implications and impact in terms of shelter, including squatter settlements and other infrastructure facilities”.
But does not clarify how a mere 8 percent increase in population have caused the entire city to come tumbling down to such an extent.
A serious attempt should be made to get a plan in place that will make Delhi a LIVEABLE city, even if not a world class city.
POPULATION As per 2001 Census, NCT of Delhi had a
total population of 138 lakh. NCT Delhi is highly urbanized with 93.18% of its population living in urban areas as against the national average of 27.81%.
During the course of implementation of the plan, attempt should be made to restrict the population of Delhi lower than 220 lakhs.
This depends on the effective implementation of policies and proposals of Regional Plan 2021 by Govt of NCT Delhi.

HOUSING Housing need is for 24 lakh new
houses till 2021 for population of 23 Million.
For 24 lakh houses, we need proportionate no. of shops. Provide them at the time we plan for the residential complex.
This concept should be built at the planning stage so that shops and other commercial establishments
can come up along with houses.
HOUSING There is considerable dependence between
Delhi and the NCR. Some population living in NCR would be coming to Delhi to work and vice-versa.
One can certainly assume that the NCR can cater to 20% of the future population demands. 40% can be dealt through redensification of existing areas and other 40 % through new addition.
What is estimated is that 450-500 hectares of land would have to be acquired per annum for next 20 yrs, because of new developments. Still there is a question regarding the feasibility of this suggestion.

HOUSING There is a very feeble act in the
master plan: The master plan suggests the following densities for various categories.
Slum/EWS housing (upto 30 sq.m)-600 DUs/Ha
Category I (above30-upto40sq.m.)-500 DUs/ Ha
Category II (above40-upto80sq.m.)-250 DUs/ Ha
Category III (above80sqm) - 175 DUs/Ha
The Master plan has varying density like 30sqm i.e. 600 dwelling units per Hectare its impossible to achieve that.

UNAUTHORISED COLONIES The demand for the unauthorized
colonies “which are to be regularized, should be effectively incorporated in the mainstream of urban development”.
This means the payment of heavy penalties and development charges by the offending parties, without any fine being levied on government agencies that were supposed to have provided “authorized” housing in the first place.
Unauthorized colonies came up as there was a gap between DEMAND and SUPPLY.
LANDUSE MPD-2021 advocates the
mixed land use concept, to meet the growing demand of commercial activities and overcome the shortfall of available commercial space”.
But there is no explanation of why there was a shortfall in the first place?
Mixed land use concept of MPD2021 is a welcome step.

MIXED LANDUSE PROBLEMS
The constant presence of outsiders/shoppers with no local loyalty will erode residential quality and endanger the women, the children and the aged
The water supply & power situations would be worsen.
Vehicular movement with increased parking & goods supply would create chaos with housing areas
SOLUTIONS Segregating entry points into housing and shopping areas as an exclusive
public domain for residential use which alone provide safety.
Parking of housing should be separated and commercial parking should be severely restricted. This would not only reduce vehicular nuisance , noise and dust pollution but would also indirectly control the size of commercial activity.
Water, Electricity sewerage and solid waste disposal etc would require increased municipal inputs.
MIXED LANDUSE mixed land use has the following advantages.
adds vitality to the city, cuts down commuting distance, saves time, energy and investments in transport
infrastructure to provide the citizens a more integrated daily life cycle. helps improve the quality of life in the city
urban poor, the aged the children and the physically challenged.
Ironically, India's urban heritage also was built upon mixed use
WATER The MPD 2021 Plan mentions that, in the
past, “the infrastructure provisions especially those related to water have not matched the pace of development”. But what does it plan for the future?
There is, firstly, a dispute between DDA and the Delhi Jal Board (DJB) about how much water is required by an individual in Delhi.
The former stipulates 80 gallons per day, while the latter has scaled it down to 60 gallons.
DDA projects 1,840 million gallons per day (MGD) while DJB computes 1,380 mgd. Against this, the current treatment capacity in Delhi is just 805 mgd. where will all the water come from?

SANITATION Delhi's sanitation in a
pathetic state.
Most of its sewer lines SILTED and NOT FUNCTIONING, according to a UN report.
A large proportion of Delhi's 5,600-km of feeder sewers are silted and less than 15 percent of the trunk sewer line is functioning.
The city's 17 sewerage plants are inadequate to process the waste, and most of the plants operate far below capacity.
SANITATION The end result is that
less than half the waste is processed by the sewerage plants before the filth is dumped into the already polluted Yamuna river.

E- WASTE Disposing of ordinary torch cell batteries may not strike
you as dangerous. In India, we use nearly 200,000 tonnes of industrial and
domestic batteries every year and dump them carelessly.
These batteries contain mercury, cadmium and lead - all substances lethal to the human system.
Once they permeate into the water table, these cannot be fully removed by any existing water purification system in the country
These metals cannot be excreted by the body. They accumulate in our system and affect our mental health.
TRANSPORTATION There is a dire need to
streamline the basic transport system before CWG-2010.
A study points out that commuters are paying 150 percent more than the actual auto fares in the city!
Metro Rail network proposal covering a length of 56.76KM is a good news.
PARKING POLICY There is a proposal of
making 175 new parking sites, 18 new multi-level parking facilities.
Opening up DTC depots for private parking and revision of parking charges for private transport.
It also approved formation of 43 corridors with 575 km route length for Integrated Multi-Modal Transit System for public transport.
PARKING POLICY
Encouraging all the traffic in the city during CWG-2010 will pose a serious problem of transportation.
Interstate private traffic must be prevented from entering the capital during CWG-2010.
Public transport must be encouraged.
TUNNEL ROAD PROJECT A tunnel road project linking NH-
24 to Lodhi Road was proposed in draft Master Plan.
It will connect “Common wealth village site” and “Jawahar lal Nehru stadium”.
The tunnel would pass under Sunder Nersury (near HUMAYUS TOMB) and Neela Gumbad ending near Jawahar Lal Stadium.
ASI, after thrice earlier rejecting a tunnel road project finally approved it. so who cares about the heritage zone.
Implication of Tunnel Does the availability of tunneling technology and finance
give any one the right to alter 800 year old historic domain.
It would bring Vehicular traffic of Ghaziabad, East Delhi and Noida to Lodhi colony.
It would disturb the peace of the residential colonies like Nizamuddin East & West, Golf Links, Lodhi estate and Jor Bagh.
The tunnel road project would also expose the Zoo animals and birds to air and Noise Pollution.
COMMON WEALTH VILLAGE (NEAR AKHSHADHAM TEMPLE)
The site for common wealth village has been selected on the river bed near Akhshardham Temple.
Rupees 150 crore has been earmarked for developing the Commonwealth Village and Rs 400 crore for improvement of infrastructure such as modernization and lengthening of roads.
Implication The location of the Games Village site on
the riverbed is a WRONG decision.
Riverbed has the following problems is prone to the and the village should not be developed there. liquefaction during earthquakes It is a flood prone area It will damage the eco-system
SHOP IN HOME The shops-in-homes concept threatens to convert the
entire city into one large shopping centre.
As per MPD 2021 the population will be 23 millions in 2021. Where will the additional civic infrastructure come from? Entire streets currently residential in nature will become commercial.
No body is against the commercial activity but it can not be allowed at the cost of citizen’s quality of life.
At least the MPD should limit "the damage to the extent that it has taken place at present instead of adding to it.
NEW STADIUMS One indoor stadium each
will be constructed at the J.N. Stadium, I. G. Sports Complex, Siri Fort and Yamuna Complex.
The Indian capital will have five new stadiums.
These stadiums will come up in the heart of the capital, which will create serious problem of transportation.
SUMMARY There is going to be an increased shortage of basic
services and infrastructure in future, which will therefore be available at higher prices to those who can pay.
The employment will be thrown more and more into the informal unorganized sector and even there it will be strictly controlled through zoning and regulation.
The upper classes are going to be protected and screened off from the rest of the citizenry. Such is the “world class” vision of our leaders.
