 Transition from
rural to urban
land use located
between the outer
limits of urban
and regional
centers.
 The boundaries of
Peri-urban areas
are porous and
transitory
 Can provide
essential life
support services
for urban
residents.

A Master Plan is the long term perspective plan for guiding the
sustainable planned development of the city.

RATIONALE BEHIND THE CASE STUDY OF
BHOPAL
• Urban population has increased at an
average decadal growth rate of over 70% in
last 4 decades.
• The longer perspective and various
estimates indicate that the city would grow
around 4.5 million by 2035.
• No of Household would grow by three
times.
three times
Demographic Trends and Projection Land use change
• The development plan area has
expanded as the density of many
wards has reached to more than
400persons/hectare.
• The residential sector has doubled
in between 1991-2005 plan period
Houehold growth
• The longer perspective and
various estimates indicate that
the city would grow around 3.5
million by 2021

• Mandideep, exerting pull of

choice for future city exapansion.
• Additional two sub-cities to
accommodate around 10 lakhs
additional population, on located
around Misrod & Neori.
• These two sub-cities are meant to
cater the growth needs of the State
Capital upto 2005 as well as that of
the mother city.

along the main transport system
of the country
• The existence of the
establishment of large industrial
undertaking like BHELI
Mandideep, Railway
• Bhopal: a nerve centre of
Regional Trade and Commerce-
cum Industrial centre.
• Regional transport network
would facilitate provision of
mass transport corridor inter
linked with the overall city road
network, integrating the sub-
cities movement network.

CHANGING
OCCUPATIONAL
PATTERN
•The occupation in tertiary sector has grown from
64% in 1971 to 87% 2001.
•The distribution of workers in secondary sector has
moved up from 33% to 36% in 1991 which saw
steep decline to 15% in 2001.
PROPOSED ROAD NETWORK
AND WIDTHS
Roads could not be developed due to topographicaL configurations
and site conditions are:—
• Road from village Chunabhatti to Bhadbhada
• Road from Asha Niketan to the proposed Ring Road along
Bhopal-Itarsi Railway line.
• Ring Road from ObeduLlahganj Road to Bhopal Bilkisganj
road.
• Road from Obedullahgaj to Raisen road 18

ISSUES
1. Universal Approach in the provisions like for neori and misrod region
2. Uncontrolled and unplanned development – The provisions don’t state
the strategy for development for example ribbon development along
the Hoshangabad road, development of Bag sewania as urban village
and villages which are not urban areas as per the census definition are
getting engulfed in the urban sprawl, due to the presence of
connectivity.
3. Implementation – failure of development of transport corridor led to
the poor execution of phase wise development.
4. Adaptation of rural habitants towards urban culture – Unawareness of
the villagers towards changing regulations created chaos like taxation.

Case of South- Eastern Bhopal

SELECTED VILLAGES
•Samarda Kaliysot lies
on NH-12, with many
other
locational benefits.
•Deepdi village is 2 kms
away from Samarda
Kaliyasot, connected
with a kutcha (non
paved) road. Deepdi
village is connected to
Bhojpur road, which is
further connected with
NH-12.

DEEPDI VILLAGE

DEEPDI SCENARIO
 percentage of small land holding
sizes is very high at 78.8 per
cent.
 infrastructural conditions show a
lesser degree of urbanity
 Only eight per cent of the total
workforce works in rural non-
farm employment.
 Rural culture dominates the
area.

Samarda Kaliyasot Village
urban sprawl and urban-
rural merger has totally
transformed the
economy of the village
approximately 50 shops,
all of which are privately-
owned
No autos or rickshaws ply
upto the villages from
Bhopal or Mandideep
only small buses travel
from Bhopal to
Hoshangabad via
Mandideep and vice
versa every two minutes.
no state government
undertaking for bus
transport, all the buses
are private.
sudden increase in the
population in private
colonies

CONCLUSION
 The accessibility of road network has an immense impact over
the economy of a peri urban area.
 The accessibility of transportation, services and affordability
shapes the development of peri urban area.
 The level of accessibility dictates the phenomenon of
urbanism in peri urban areas.
