5. Vision and goal for the NMA
The long term vision for the NMA is that of a vibrant place that provides a platform for healthy economic
growth across the cross section of the urban rural transect.
… An eco city that provides adequate, equitable,
sustainable access to urban services for all citizens
… A city that is safe, livable and
promotes growth of its citizens
This can be achieved by promoting quality urban space, preserving natural resources and farmland,
promoting industries, tourism and allied activities, all to provide an even better quality of life to the
residents of the region. Fundamentally, there are three working components of the above vision
statement:
• Economic growth
• Environmental and natural resource stewardship
• Development and integration of urban systems
The vision statement provides a sound basis for formulation of goals and objectives which provide a
framework for the Development Plan.

6.  Economic growth :
In order to facilitate an environment which
promotes healthy economic growth the plan would
aim at facilitating quality urban spaces and
infrastructure for the services sector, industrial
manufacturing activity,
tourism, and advanced technology. This will be
supported with robust transport infrastructure (road
and rail) and logistics facilities.
Goal 1: A strong economy
Objective 1: Allocate sufficient employment
land (opportunity for industrial growth)
Goal 2: Efficient movement of goods
Objective 2: Minimize congestion on freight
routes
Goal 3: Efficient movement of people
Objective 3: Address provision for quality
public transport
Proposed
Land use

7.  Environmental and Natural Resource
Stewardship :
The forests of the NMA are ecologically rich and
sensitive areas which house a variety of flora and
fauna. Rivers Pench, Kanhan, and Vena traversing the
NMA provide ample fertile land resulting in rich
agriculture activity. The concept plan aims at
recognizing the eco-sensitive areas and non-renewable
resources like its forests and farmland in the NMA to
draw up a strategy to preserve the same.
Goal 4 : Protect the natural environment
Objective 3: Maintain forest reserves, water bodies
and natural corridors
Goal 5 : Conserve resources
Objective 5: Protect agricultural lands for future
generations
Goal 6 : Reduce impact of natural hazards
Objective 6: Avoid habitation in flood prone areas
 Development and Integration of Urban
Systems :
In order to facilitate high quality infrastructure for new
developments, the plan will focus on compact
development and prioritize key development areas.
This will also enable the provision of housing closer to
place of work and mix of uses and hence reduce travel
distances, thus encouraging walkable urban
environments. This, coupled with efficient public
transport orientated to areas of development focus,
will
enable public access to areas of opportunity providing
the ridership numbers for efficient functioning of the
public transport system.
Goal 7: A balanced urban structure
Objective 7: Locate housing near jobs
Goal 8: Good supply of housing
Objective 8: Balance supply and demand
Goal 9: Minimize infrastructure costs
Objective 9: Optimise network lengths

8. COMPONENTS OF PLANNING :
• Land use and transportation
• Mixed use of land
• Open space and natural resource
management
• Provision of social infrastructure
• The rural urban transect
• Local transport connectivity
• Economic base
• Infrastructure provision
• Sustainibility
• Development

9. MASTER PLAN :
LAS VEGAS,
UNITED STATES
OF AMERICA

10. • Las Vegas is located in the center of
the Las Vegas Valley, encompassing the
original settlement
and now functioning as the region’s
urban core.
• The Vision 2045 Downtown Las Vegas
Masterplan is the result of an intensive
18-month planning effort, initiated in
response to a Downtown revival that is
gradually gaining momentum, as well
as the need to reconsider and update
the current Downtown Centennial Plan
(DCP), and the desire to establish a
compelling vision and an effective
implementation strategy that will guide
the urban core’s growth and
redevelopment for the next 30 years.
PAST : DOWNTOWN CENTENNIAL PLAN
The Downtown Centennial Plan no longer meets the
needs of Downtown based on present and anticipated
changes in conditions.
Initially adopted in July 2000, in anticipation of the
City’s Centennial celebration of spring 2005
FUTURE: VISION 2045 DOWNTOWN LAS VEGAS MASTER
PLAN
The purpose of this Masterplan is to encourage the
Downtown real estate recovery, define new
opportunities, leverage recent and attract new private
investment, and strategically plan for the outlay of
scarce city resources.
The Vision 2045 Downtown LasVegas Masterplan
provides an overall vision, policy direction, and
implementation strategy that support the ongoing
recovery and revitalization of Downtown.

11. CONCEPTUAL ILLUSTRATIVE PLAN WITH PROPOSED PROGRAMS

13. PLANNING PROCESS:
The planning process proceeded according to six well-defined stages that regularly afforded opportunity for
input and refinement:
• Inventory and Analysis;
• Vision Plan;
• Alternative Masterplan Concepts;
• Preferred Masterplan Scenario;
• Draft Implementation Strategy;
• Final Masterplan Documentation.
Each stage culminated in heightened community outreach and engagement, and a summary report made
available for public review and comment, with the last stage delivering the Masterplan for City Council
review, hearing, and adoption.
This six stage process was, and is intended to be used for planning purposes only.
This process does not, in any manner, reflect an intent by the City to approve any particular
project(s), acquire private property, nor declare any intent by the City to engage in the acquisition of
private property.

14. Rooted in a fundamental understanding of community needs, values, aspirations and opportunities, the
Masterplan communicates a shared vision of success for Downtown Las Vegas, and lays out a road-map
for achieving that success. Hallmarks of the process of preparing the Masterplan were collaboration,
contextual research, exploration of alternative concepts and ideas, comprehensiveness, and a focus on
successful implementation.
