Sustainable, scalable and future ready urban development is one the key priorities in India as well globally. Major government programs i.e. Smart Cities and Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT) aim to build foundations to achieve this. For any planned development, master plan is a starting point. A master plan provides a long term blueprint that guides the sustainable planned development of the city. Use of GIS for master planning is not new. GIS-based Master Plans will help in different types of urban planning exercises, e.g. preparation of development plan, zonal plan, utility plan, infrastructure plan, etc. Even Smart City program and AMRUT programs mandate use of GIS for master plan creation. ArcGIS is a complete platform for end-to-end city planning, design and management. The webinar illustrates how ArcGIS Platform and 3D capabilities of CityEngine provides a complete set of tools for end-to-end GIS based master plan creation and updation.

3. Why need Master Plans
The proper management of urban areas calls for accurate and
vital information to be available on a regular basis in order to
formulate a spatial planning framework
for orderly and systematic development.

4. Master Plans – Key functions
• To guide development of a city is an orderly manner so as to improve the quality of life of its citizens.
• Organize and coordinate the complex relationships between urban land uses.
• Chart a course for growth and change, be responsive to change and maintain its validity over time
and space, and be subject to continual review.
• Direct physical development of the city in relation to its social and economic characteristics based
on comprehensive surveys and studies on the present status and the future growth prospects; and
• Provide a resource mobilization plan for the proposed development..
• Facilitates the orderly and planned development of cities in a sustainable manner, and
ultimately help in good governance.

5. Master Plans - Key Challenge
• At present, hardly a third of the urban centers have some sort of a Master Plan, which in many cases is just a policy document.
• Many master plans have been prepared by Agencies but their implementation is not encouraging.
• Preparation of Plans takes an inordinately long time which makes the base-line data outdated.
• Non-availability of latest base maps resulted in great difficulties in field data collection.
• Lack of any adequate system of maintaining a data base hampered the informed decision by the local authorities.
• Manual graphic presentations were difficult to comprehended by implementing authorities
• Since there was no efficient system of data storage and retrieval, the monitoring and sharing of plans was extremely difficult.
• The need has emerged to prepare Master Plan using State of Art Technology

6. AMRUT & Smart City Initiatives
• The key objective is to improve quality of life of the Citizens.
• It calls for creation of required infrastructure and build amenities for the Citizens
• This infrastructure should meet following requirements leading to provision of better services :
- water supply,
- sewerage facilities and septage management,
- storm water drains to reduce flooding,
- pedestrian, non-motorized and public transport facilities, parking spaces, and
- enhancing amenity value of cities by creating and upgrading green spaces, parks and recreation centers
• Under this Mission, five hundred (500) cities to be taken up having population > 1 Lakh including
• SLIP (State Level Improvement Plan) and SAAP (State Annual Action Plan) were prepared for implementation
of desired Reforms
• The key requirement is to prepare GIS based Master Plans to improve efficiency & standardization

7. Functional Workflow of a Master Plan
 Standardized Data Model integrated with
 MoUD Guidelines
 Rule based Cartography – Codification, Categorization, Domains, Subtypes, Urban Dev. / Building by-laws etc.
 MIS Parameters from different Sources
 QA/QC Parameters
 Configuration of Platform
 User Management
 Process Workflow & Workflow manager
 Apps & Tools for Master Plans preparation
 Publishing Data - Base Data layers, Basemaps, Feeds, Image Services, Tools & Services etc.
 Configuration of Apps -
 Dashboards for MoUD / TCPO Sr. Executives at Policy Level
 Web Apps for Town Planners & Department Users ( Approvers & Planners ) - including tools for Geo-designing, Adv. Editing, QA/QC &
Master Plan preparation )
 Mobile Apps – Data Update, Ground Verification & Surveys - ( connected / disconnected mode ) for Field Teams - JE / Surveyors /
Investigators / Draughtsman
 App for 3D Visualization
 Crowd Sourcing App for Citizen Engagement, Feedback & Transparency
