1.1.1 A
Master Plan prepared for urban areas serves as an important instrument
to guide the process of urban development. Over the years it has emerged
as an important approach to urban planning in the country. The concept
of the Master Plan has no doubt made a discernible impact in regulating
and channelising the development and growth of cities and towns. However,
the issue of the Master Plan and its efficacy has been discussed in a
National Workshop organised by the Ministry of Urban Development and Poverty
Alleviation, which suggested a dynamic, transparent and effective approach
to improve the efficacy of the Master Plan. Accordingly, the Ministry
of Urban Development and Poverty Alleviation, Govt. of India, entrusted
a study to the Institute of Town Planners, India, on Urban Development
Plan Formulation and Implementation (UDPFI) Guidelines. These guidelines
have recommended a planning system consisting of a set of four interrelated
plans with the Perspective Plan at its apex and Plans of Projects at the
base, with the Development Plan and the Annual Plan facilitating the implementation
of the Urban Perspective Plan. In line with these guidelines, this Master
Plan (Perspective: 2025) of Auroville has been conceived.
