2. 8/15/2015 TCPO, New Delhi 2 Background The District Planning in the form of decentralised planning for a balanced, integrated and meaningful development of districts has been an accepted concept since the beginning of the planning era. Difficulties in integration: – a wide gap between the concept and the practices – states differ widely in their levels of decentralisation of development administration

3. 8/15/2015 TCPO, New Delhi 3 Background Comprehensive guidelines for district planning by Planning Commission in 1969 Difficulties in implementation: – institutional mechanism for district planning not fully geared. – low level of awareness.

4. 8/15/2015 TCPO, New Delhi 4 Background Planning Commission in 1982 set up a Working Group under the Chairmanship of Dr. C.H. Hanumantharao, recommended : – Spatial Planning, – rural urban integration – peoples`participation – institutional framework as integral part of district planning (Above could not be implemented as the institutional framework not changed)

5. 8/15/2015 TCPO, New Delhi 5 Concept of Integration in District Planning Necessary – To avoid multiplicity of institutions and processes and overlapping functions – to achieve functional and spatial integration at planning and implementation stage

6. 8/15/2015 TCPO, New Delhi 6 Concept of Integration in District Planning types of integration – integration in planning – coordination in implementations more emphasis on coordination in implementations to achieve integrated development since the district planning bodies had limited planning functions.

7. 8/15/2015 TCPO, New Delhi 7 Concept of Integration in District Planning The Working Group recommended integration at plan formulation level planning activity should be undertaken by one single agency The concept of District Planning Committee as provided by the 74 th CAA is a step forward to achieve this goal.

8. 8/15/2015 TCPO, New Delhi 8 Rural–Urban Integration Came into being along with ‘Integrated Rural Development Programme It recommended for provision of higher order services and amenities related to agriculture and other allied activities in small and medium towns. The need to integrate the rural activities particularly with the small and medium towns had become a crucial issue in order to find suitable locations and assign the functions of focal points to these towns for provision of higher order services and amenities related to agricultural and other allied activities.

9. 8/15/2015 TCPO, New Delhi 9 Rural–Urban Integration Approach further reinforced by the report of Task Force on ‘Planning & Development of Small & Medium Towns & Cities’ set up in 1975 It recognised ‘spatial plan at regional / district level as an important tool of rural urban integration through provisions of various levels of services and facilities.’

10. 8/15/2015 TCPO, New Delhi 10 Rural–Urban Integration It says, “The (Urban) Plans generally bear no relationship with the rural hinterland of the district…No plan can be realistic unless it takes into account the interaction between the two… It calls for total district planning integrating a settlement pattern to promote human activity, balanced development and a congenial environment.” It also recommended, “District and local physical plans should be prepared within the framework of the regional plans and a suitable statutory authority should be entrusted at the district or area level to draw up detailed plans and programmes on the basis of a settlement plan, integrating rural and urban areas.”

11. 8/15/2015 TCPO, New Delhi 11 Spatial Plan spatial plan at regional / district level has been an important tool of rural urban integration through functional integration of various levels of services and facilities. provides for spatial strategy to provide locational plan for the development programmes and schemes but also rural-urban integration to minimize disparity in development over space. The spatial strategy provides two broad directions, the first is on hierarchy of urban and rural settlements in the region and the second is regarding the proposed functions of the settlements, during the plan period.

12. 12 National Commission on Urbanization, 1985 Spatial perspective to the pattern of urban settlements at the National scale Location of urban settlements by size and function in regional/ sub-regional context Necessity of delineating planning regions at National and State levels 329 GEMs and 49 SPURs

13. 8/15/2015 TCPO, New Delhi 13 Spatial Plan TCPO always emphasised in regional plans the need for spatial strategy for rural- urban integration in order to minimize spatial disparity in development. Methodology – Determination of hierarchy of urban and rural settlements in the region – proposed functions of the settlements
