INDORE DEVELOPMENT PLAN - 2011 (DRAFT)

C H A P T E R - 3
DEVELOPMENT PERSPECTIIVE AND PROPOSED CITY STRUCTURE
3.1 PLAN CONCEPT
The Proposed city form and structure of lndore
derives its concept from the three centred city
which was conceived also earlier in 1970’s. The
existing sub-cities configuration is based on Rail
road transport corridors. The north-South linear
city spread is an indicator for the desired city
expansion.
The multi-sub-city concept will cater the growth
needs of Indore up to 2011 and Indore will serve
as a nucleolus Of commercial activities in Malwa
Region also.
Urban activities proposed are based on the
holding capacity in the planning area ensuring
an approach to sustainable development without
inbalancing the ecology of the area. In short the
Planning approach is based on “Planning with
nature” within the Planning norms.
Rajwada and its surrounding areas still conform
as hub of main commercial and social activity
centre. The other two city centres proposed to
reduce the burden of the old city core are
proposed, one at Manik bagh in the south and
the other in planning unit No. 4 on A.B. Road
(towards Dewas). The whole planning area is
proposed to be developed in 11 self contained
planning units to provide shopping, educational,
health, recreational and all other essential
amenities and facilities.
3.2 LAND ALLOCATION
The plan envisages compact development of
planning units. it is proposed to develop the
planning units at an average rate of 10.0 ha./
1000 person. In Development plan-1991 the
average land utilization rate was 9.7 hectare per
1000 persons and present land Utilization rate
is only 6.0 ha./1000 persons. At city level the
comparative analysis of over all land use break-
up is given in Table 3.1.

INDORE DEVELOPMENT PLAN - 2011 (DRAFT)
3.3 PLANNING UNITS
Like the development plan 1991, in this plan also
the city has been framed on the basis of relatively
self-contained planning units. Conceptually each
unit will function as an entity in respect of
shopping, Educational and Health amenities,
Recreational areas, and to a large extent work
centers will also be provided within the unit. The
planning units are linked to the city centers, work
centers of the higher order, city level amenities,
and traffic terminals etc. Each planning unit is
further divided into sectors and sub-sectors
which will also contain sector level amenities.
The planning units envisaged in development
plan 1991 have been reconstituted based on the
future proposals. The limits of planning unit no.
1 has been extended upto the new central area
limits. The reconstituted planning units are shown
in Figure – 3.1.
The hierarchy of city structure thus comprises
of sectors and 11 reconstituted planning units
covering an area of 25218 ha (Table 3.2). The
size of planning units is not uniform because the
area included in a planning unit is based on the
conformity of various land uses, character of
existing and proposed development, functional
hierarchy etc. rather than the land area. The
planning units have been numbered and major
city roads of the proposed circulation pattern
have been given functional names for the sake
of convenience of description of the Planning
Proposals.

3.4 LAND USE DISTRIBUTION
(PLANNING UNITS WISE)
The overall city structure consists of 11
reconstituted planning units. Each planning unit
derives its land-use from the linkage it builds
within the framework of total land use pattern
envisaged in the development plan. At the time
of demarcation, road alignment may be re-
adjusted and uses on either side of the proposed
road alignment will be irrespective of the
ownership of land and landuse will be as it is as
shown in this plan conceptually. This flexibility is
kept due to practical difficulties and economical
alignment of roads based on detailed physical
survey for implementation. The proposed
distribution of areas within each planning unit in
different landuse categories is given in the table
Table 3.3. The proposed plan is shown in
Figure 3.2.
3.5 RESIDENTIAL DENSITY AND
POPULATION DISTRIBUTION
Residential density is a measure which is used
to asses the requirement of land for provisions
of amenities and services. It is also used as
measure for the study of living conditions in the
existing residential area. The plan envisages the
structure. Taking into consideration the existing
densities, plan policy and future population, it is
proposed to distribute the total population of 25.3
lakhs among all planning units as given in Table 3.4.

INDORE DEVELOPMENT PLAN - 2011 (DRAFT)
3.6 WORK CENTRES
Commercial, Industrial and administrative
activities forming major functional areas are the
real nerve centres, which generate the economy,
reflecting socioeconomic life of the city. These
areas being the major traffic generators, the
spatial distribution of these areas has been done
in such a way that they are properly linked with
the residential area, so as to achieve a minimum
journey time to work places and are also inter
linked with each other for convenient, safe and
rapid movement.
3.7 TRADE & COMMERCE
The classification of commercial activities, as
envisaged in the proposal are as under:-
- Commercial area at city level
- Commercial are at Planning Unit level
- Commercial area at sector level.
3.8 COMMERCIAL AREA AT CITY
LEVEL
Most of the city level commercial activities, at
present, are concentrated around Raiwada and
roads leading to Rajwada are hampered owing
to extreme congestion and chaos in the central
area, therefore, the city level commercial
activities are planned in the new proposed city
centres, one along Agra Bombay Road in
planning unit No. 4 and other near Manik Bagh
road in planning unit No. 9.
The forwarding agencies at present are scattered
in the city mainly along National Highway No. 3
in village Lasudia Mori in un-organised manner.
These activities are creating traffic hazards in
the absence of proper planning. In view of this
fact, approximately 125 hectares land has been
reserved for proper development of forwarding
agencies along NH-3 in village Lasudia Mori has
been envisaged in this plan.
3.9 PLANNING UNIT LEVEL SHOPPING
In this revised development plan, extension of
city shopping centres is proposed in various
planning units to fulfill the requirement of
planning unit level needs. This will ensure
144
reduction in travel demand and number of trips
to central part of the city. These P.U.-Level
shopping centres will be a complete composite
P.U.-Node accommodating various activities. i.e.
College, Hospital, Police Station, open space,
play grounds and community halls.
3.10 SECTOR LEVEL SHOPPING
CENTRE
Residential sector having 16-20 thousand
population will be provided a separate sector
shopping which will form the focal point of the
sector. The Sector level amenities will be
provided at the time of preparation of zoning
plans for each planning unit which is a follow up
action of development plan.
3.11 OFFICES
The existing study indicates that most of the
government offices are functioning in old city
area which are located at places which are
congested and not suitable for the purpose for
which they are used as Divisional and District
offices viz. Moti Bungalow, Moti Tabela, Keshar
Bagh etc. etc. The development Plan 1991 also
recommended to developed administrative
complex out side the old city limits particularly in
planning unit Nos.4 & 5. The proposals could
not be materialised and again with slight
modifications sites are earmarked for
government and semi-government offices in
Development Plan 2011.
About 54 government and semi-government
offices are functioning in private and rental
buildings at various places in the old city area.
These work centers are proposed to be
accommodated in planning units Nos. 3, 4 & 9
according to this plan.
3.12 INDUSTRIAL AREAS
The present major industrial area is at Sanwer
Road. The major industrial development was
envisaged along this road in development plan-
1991 also. But due to lack of infrastructure
development and establishment of new industrial
areas at Pithampur and at Dewas, the Sanwer
 INDORE DEVELOPMENT PLAN - 2011 (DRAFT)
Road industrial area could not be developed to
the required extent. In view of the government’s
liberal economic and industrial policies, it is
anticipated that considerable growth in industrial
activities is likely to take place in future.
The predominant existing industrial areas are mill
area near Pardesipura and Pologround. The
Pologround shall continue to function. But the
mill area is no longer required because almost
all the mills are not functioning and lands of some
of the mills has been converted to residential /
commercial by the Government. In view of this it
is envisaged that this mill area is no longer
required to be retained is industrial use and
therefore the landuse of this area has been
proposed as residential in this plan. Proposals
for industrial area in lndore Development Plan-
1991 and which have not been utilised so far
are again proposed to be retained except such
areas which are not suitable for this type of
development. The landuse of such areas shall
be re designated as per government’s policy
decision. Other isolated industries, such as oil
and Dal mill at village Chitawad and along
Subhash Marg and industries located in existing
congested areas of the city, are proposed to be
relocated in designated industrial areas. in such
case the areas vacated by such industries shall
be treated as regeneration areas.
Owing to liberal economics and industrial policy,
it is estimated that nearly 2200 hectares of land
need to be provided- for industrial purpose as
against 1500 provided in development plan-
1991, additional 700 hectares of industrial area
has been proposed along Sanwer road in
Planning unit No. 2.
For the purpose of location the industries have
broadly been categorized into four categories viz.
general, obnoxious, agrobased, household and
services industries.
General Industries are proposed along Sanwer
road in planning unit No. 2 and near Rao village
in Planning Unit No. 10.
145
Obnoxious industries which are likely to pollute
atmosphere are proposed to be located in the
extreme North of the Sanwer road industrial area,
so that the prevailing winds will carry the
obnoxious gases away from the city.
An organised industrial area for Dal and oil Mills
and other agro-based units is proposed along
Deo-guradia road in planning unit No. 7. The
industrial units located at Navlakha and other
nearby place are to be relocated and
accommodated in this area.
The Household and service industries under the
permissible uses can function within the city
depending up on the type of the industry. Some
of the units can also function in flatted factories,
such as ready-made clothes, hosiery, toy making
etc. These service industries will be permissible
in the; proposed commercial areas also.
3.13 INFORMAL SECTOR
Large section of unemployed and under
employed persons looking for employment and
economic upliftment constitutes the informal
sector. This sector with highly reduced needs of
infrastructural services and urban space has an
important role to play in economic functioning of
the city. They also serve as service population
to residential areas.
The informal sector locate themselves
strategically near work centres, commercial area,
out side educational and health institutions,
transport nodes and near large housing clusters.
Since the sector plays an important role in the
city’s economy hence a strategy in respect of
housing and economic activities is formulated in
the plan proposals along with formal sector.
It is proposed to incorporate and accommodate
the informal sector in trade, in the planned
development of various use zones covering the
following areas:
a) Provision of retail trade shops for services
establishment in general commercial area
INDORE DEVELOPMENT PLAN - 2011 (DRAFT)

i.e. city centres, sector shopping, convenient
shopping centres.
b) Provisions of service outlets in whole sale
trade and freight complexes.
c) Provision of service shops serving eatables
etc. in institutional areas, recreational area,
parks, industrial area, terminal centres.
d) Service establishments near residential
areas.
e) Shelter cum service establishment in
residential zone.
Provision of transit accommodation adjacent to
construction sites. It is proposed to incorporate
the informal sector in the planned residential
development in the following manner :-
1) Area for informal sectors should be reserved
in the proposed residential development at
the time of preparing the area plans.
2) At the time of sanctioning the layout plans
the provisions of informal sector trade units
should be ensured so that
(a) The low income groups, to which informal
sector serves, are not exploited.
(b) Informal sector units are developed to cater
the need of the locality.
3.14 SLUMS AND SQUATTER
SETTLEMENTS IN THE CITY
Since 1951, there has been a substantial
increase in the population of slum dwellers. In
1951, the total number of slums was just 26,
which increased to 183 in the year 1991. Surveys
conducted by various non-governmental
agencies have indicated around 637 slums,
which include surrounding areas outside the IMC
where construction workers and agricultural
labourers form temporary settlements. However,
the IMC till date has recognized only 406 slums
and notified the same in two phases in 1998 and
in 1999. Indore Development Authority, as part
of the well acclaimed ODA Project, selected and
developed 175 slums out of 183 identified during
that period. In 1997, another survey was
conducted by IDA, in which more than 270 slum
areas were identified that have come up in the
last eight years. The slum population growth is
shown in Table 3.5.
According to a study done by Oxfam in 1998,
the city had a total of 1,34,418 hutments. The
study also indicates a distinct group, which could
not be mapped that lives on pavements and as
labourers in temporary shelters.

Since the 1960’s, with its industrialization and
development of facilities, the city has been
attracting migrants from districts of Dhar,
Ujjain, Dewas, Khargone, Jhabua, Ratlam and
Mandsaur. Migrants from states like U.P.,
Rajasthan, Maharashtra and Gujarat also form
a sizable population in Indore slums. Slums in
the city can be classified as roadside slums,
construction side slums, and industrial areas
slums, and established slums, slums in city
periphery and tenant groups.

 INDORE DEVELOPMENT PLAN - 2011 (DRAFT)

52 percent of slum population is in the age
group of 15-50 years, the main reason for
which is migration of youth from rural areas.
In most of the newly formed slums, youth
form the highest percentage of population,
while in older settlements the percentage of
elderly persons is comparatively higher.

Nearly half of the slum dwellers live on less
than 350 sq. ft of land and almost all the
scheduled tribe population and most of the
scheduled caste population lives in slums.

About 17.9 percent of the slum population
is tenants.

Occupation of slum dwellers is largely in the
informal sector.

Percentage of working women in vulnerable
sections – 45.60 percent – is quite high
compared to the figure for other sections in
the society.

Nearly a third of the slum population
possesses a ration card, a majority of them
fail to use it to prove their entitlement to
various government schemes, mainly due
to non-specific addresses on them.

Half the slum population does not have a
toilet facility and about a fourth of the
population uses public toilets, most of which
are in bad shape.

Only a negligible proportion is able to avail
service of government hospitals and the
majority rely on private doctors.

Male and female literacy rates in the slums
are 46.4 percent and 20.00 percent
respectively, as against 71.9 percent and
57.6 percent for the city.
3.14.1 Characteristics of Slums

Various sizes from small, medium to large
often clustered together in groups but also
in single, isolated locations.

Mainly located on riverbanks (now converted
into nallahs).
147

Have heterogeneous populations, in some
places caste panchayats exist, which play
an important note in settling disputes related
to property, marriage, and violation of caste
rules.

Many of these slums have saving and credit
groups, neighbourhood development
committee, women’s and youth clubs,
formed under various development projects.

Many of these are at present covered under
Integrated Child Development Scheme,
Niramaya Community Empowerment
Project, Continuous Education Program,
which have a huge network of staff,
volunteers and activities.

119 of them have community centers, which
were built under Indore Habitat Improvement
Project.

Categorized mainly as encroachments on
Government land, encroachment on private
land and settlements developed by private
developers.

175 of them were covered under Indore
Habitat Improvement Project, have piped
sewage, asphalt roads, walkways, piped
water supply and other small undertakings
like community toilets, hand pumps and road
culverts.
3.14.2 Efforts Made in the Past and
Lessons Learned from Them
Indore has an impressive record of urban
community development projects like :

UNDP (Urban Community Development
Program) – UNICEF – funded project,
implemented from 1983-87 by Indore
Municipal Corporation.

UBSP (Urban Basic Services Program) –
project was jointly funded by Government
of M.P., Government of India, and UNICEF
and was implemented by the District
Collectorate from 1987-94. The project
initiated a process of community
organization and promoted collective action
INDORE DEVELOPMENT PLAN - 2011 (DRAFT)
and local leadership among slum dwellers.

IHIP – this was an ODA (Overseas
Development Administration, U.K.) –
financed project, which was implemented by
Indore Development Authority. IHIP
facilitated increase in capacity of the city’s
sewage treatment plant, construction of
piped sewage, asphalt roads, cemented
walkways and community halls in 175 slum
areas of the city. Other smaller construction
undertaken in the project included
community toilets, hand pumps, road
culverts construction of three health centers
and children’s complex. Beyond all doubts,
IHIP was a masterpiece of architectural
design and has won the World Habitat Award
(1997) for innovative practices for the same.
During the life of the IHIP project, remarkable
results in community – managed education,
economic support programs, social
development, micro-credit, preventive and
promotive health activities were achieved. Some
activities were also sub-contracted to NGOs and
local training institutes. Inter-department
coordination was the weakest part of this project,
which affected sustenance of major project
activities. The main focus remained on
sustenance of physical assets created by IHIP.
Unfortunately there was no arrangement for
sustenance of human assets i.e., volunteers,
NDCs (157), women groups (150), youth groups
(150). Hence, after IHIP’s withdrawal, only a few
of these exist and are active today.
These programs based on ideals of community
participation, convergence, cost-effectiveness,
coverage, and continuity were primarily designed
as process-oriented initiatives, but later due to
over ambitious implementation goals became
product – oriented and failed to achieve expected
results.
District Administration, Municipal Corporation,
and Indore Development Authority had
opportunity to implement UCD, UBSP, and IHIP
148
and to enhance their expertise regarding the
same. Some of the reasons for their failure are :

They implemented these projects by
themselves, leaving other role players
disinterested about the sustenance of
activities. Therefore, when the funding
ceased so did the follow on activities.

They tried to achieve too much at a single
time.

Inter-departmental co-ordination among
partners in various areas of improvement
was neglected and nothing serious was done
for their capacity building.

NGOs and NDCs had limited opportunities
to participate; therefore, their potential and
expertise remained untapped, which has
resulted in widening the rift among various
key role players in the city’s development.

People’s aspirations, participation, and
decision were not taken into account in these
projects; hence, after their withdrawal;
problems in urban communities remerged
or remained the same.
The city has a large numbers of NGOs, charitable
trusts, and business organizations. Indore owes
its development mainly to the efforts of corporate
houses, business and trade organizations,
professionals, and social organizations, which
have surprisingly developed dependence on
government initiatives for improvements. Joint
action involving different players – NGOs,
Municipal Corporation, local communities and
institutions, experts, and bureaucrats working for
the sole motive of up-gradation of life in slums is
definitely needed.
3.14.3 Proposed Slum Areas
Simultaneous action for prevention,
improvement, clearance and rehabilitation will be
necessary to tackle this complex problem which
involves physical, social, and economic factors.
A four-pronged approach is proposed.
I. Modification of building bye-laws, formulation
of zoning regulations, and strict enforcement
 INDORE DEVELOPMENT PLAN - 2011 (DRAFT)
of the same. Zoning regulations are
contained in the following chapters.
II. Development of land specifically for
economically weaker section of the society
in advance so that at least house sites and
services within reasonable coast are made
available to the migrants to the city. This will
prevent haphazard squatting and
encroachment of public land.
III. Environmental improvement and provision
of services and amenities so as to improve
the living conditions of slum areas.
IV. Clearance of slums and rehabilitation of the
same at new sites.
The slums and Jhuggi-Jhopdi settlements are
divided into 2 broad categories :-
(a) Slums and Jhuggi-Jhopdi settlements which
are to be improved by provision of services
and amenities and by partial clearance.
(b) Slums and Jhuggi-Jhopdi settlements which
are required to be cleared and resettled at a
new site.
Clearance of slums is often difficult because the
process of clearance disturbs social life,
economic linkage between slum areas and the
work places, evokes emotional attachment to the
place of residence, particularly in case of
residents who have been living there for some
time. Besides this, clearance also involves many
administrative and financial difficulties. In view
of these factors only those slum areas and
Jhuggi-Jhopdi settlements have been earmarked
for clearance which are either difficult to improve
e.g. low-lying areas, and areas liable to flooding
being situated along river banks, or the land
149
which is required for other uses essential for
proper functioning of city life.
Most of the Jhuggi-Jhopdi settlements which are
proposed to be cleared and re-housed at a new
site are situated along river banks and are
therefore, liable to flooding.
The site of rehabilitation of these slums and
Jhuggi-Jhopdi settlements is selected as near
to the present site as possible so as to cause
minimum dislocation to their economic and social
life. Details of proposed probable locations for
rehabilitation of slum areas are :-
(1) In village Rangevasa south of CAT along
RE2.
(2) In village Navda Panth North of CAT on
Dhar Road.
(3) In village Chhota Banganda North of
Airport.
(4) In village Bhangya on North-west of
RW1.
(5) In village Shakkarkhedi North of MR-11.
(6) In village Mundala Nayata between RE2
& by pass.
The exercise of identification of the slums to be
rehabilitated and the paration of the slum
development schemes in the proposed areas for
slum development will be done at the time of
implementation schemes in consultation with
local authorities and NGO’s working in this field.
The existing locations of slums and the proposed
areas for rehabilitation are shown in Figure 3.3.
3.15 HOUSING
Housing forms the largest land use component
in the city structure. It makes significant visual
impact on the overall appearance of the city and
its urban form. Housing configuration can make
or mar the total city image and its social and
cultural life. Traditionally, lndore has the privilege
of housing the best residential areas available
in any city of the state but, in higher and upper
INDORE DEVELOPMENT PLAN - 2011 (DRAFT)
middle income groups only. The city has worst
slums and Jhuggi areas, thriving within the best
residential and commercial localities of the city.
These slums are located in various localities of
the city, comprising about 60,572 dwelling units.
(Annexure 1.1)
The city has also problems of unauthoerised
colonies. As per the information collected it is
found that in Municipal limits alone there are 121
and in urban ceiling limits 300 unauthorised
colonies exist in lndore, these are lacking in
infrastructural facilities forcing the inhabitants to
live in in-hygenic conditions.
Lack of development particularly to suit the
requirement and economic means of squatters
has created conditions which motivate
unauthorised Jhuggis. The programme of
development of squatters and slum areas
recently undertaken by lndore Development
Authority has to be accelerated.
Housing does not mean provision of housing
sites or dwelling units alone, but much larger
significance Every housing area apart from
meeting the shelter needs, it is means to serve
various other needs incidental to housing which
would include.
a) Provision of affordable housing space with
scope for incremental growth for changing
needs of the family and its allocation on easy
terms.
b) Provision of essential utilities such as water,
electricity, waste disposal etc.
c) Provisions of social facilities such as
education, Health recreation etc.
d) Availability of Public Transport Modes.
3.16 HOUSING REQUIREMENTS
lndore urban area at present accommodates
nearly 3.23 lakh households (Census 2001 data)
and number of families living in the city are 3.2
lakh. No authentic information is available about
150
the size of the urban family which will require
independent dwelling unit, 1971 census gave 5.5
as the average household size while in 2001 the
household size works out to be 4.73. In general
the number of persons per family is reducing for
many socioeconomic reasons. It is, therefore,
anticipated that the household size might reduce
to 4.5 by 2011, it gives number of required
houses as 5.25 lakhs in Indore urban area.
The existing housing stock (Census 2001) in the
lndore urban area is to the tune of 2.71 lakh.
Taking one dwelling unit per household, the
present requirement of dwelling unit is 3.23 lakhs
and in 2011 nearly 5.25 lakh dwelling units will
be required. Thus, the present housing back-
Iog appears to be around 0.52 lakhs and by the
end-of 2011, the additional housing units required
will be 2.54 lakhs.
3.17 POLICY INITIATIVE AREAS
Keeping in view the observations and studies
done so far, sufficient gestation period will have
to be provided to make livable housing areas for
the plan period. This period may be taken as 10
to 15 years. Some of the observations which
require policy initiation to promote Housing
Development efforts are summarised below :-
a) Need for mobilizing and coordinating the
public agencies’ efforts towards land
development using partnership approach of
land owners / developers / community
groups and beneficiaries.
b) Pooling of land and other resources for
development of public facilities and city level
infrastructure.
c) Removal of constraints for land development
efforts by private agencies and community
groups.
d) Promoting policies which facilitate easy
availability of land -for Housing including land
recycling.
e) Review of planning and development norms
(density coverage, set backs, FAR, land sub-
division norms) for Housing with objective
of achieving climatic comforts, minimize

h) Simplification of procedure for granting
planning and development permissions.
3.18 PLANNING AND DESIGN OF
HOUSING AREAS
The plan envisages, development of housing
areas, to maintain the close work place
relationship and social facility areas. These
housing areas have been conceived in terms of
self contained residential sectors which are
meant to provide essential socio- cultural and
basic health care needs, school education,
convenient shopping, leisure areas, and such
other community needs, close to the living areas.
3.19 OPEN SPACE SYSTEM
The development plan envisages system of open
spaces, which takes into account existing natural
features, having potential to develop into
landscape which manifest distinct visual qualities
satisfying environmental and recreational
functions. The major city level open space are
aligned along natural drainage corridors;
integrating existing landscape features with new
development.
3.19.1 Regional park
The site for Regional Park. is proposed to be
developed near Sukhniwas tank in planning unit
No.11. This site is also best suited for picnic spot.
Major area of this park will be afforested with
appropriate species of trees and shrubs.
3.19.2 Zoological park
Zoological Park is already established near
Chitawad village on A.B. Road in planning unit
No.6
153
3.19.3 Picnic spots
It is proposed to develop Piplyapala, Sirpur and
Bilaoli Tanks for boating facilities. Green strip of
30M. wide will be developed around these tanks
in the form of water front development. The other
natural areas and historical places on the
periphery of the city and close to the planning
area limits would be specially developed.
3.19.4 City parks
At present there are four city parks viz. Nehru
park, Meghdoot Garden, Manik Bagh and
Lalbagh. Other two city parks are proposed in
the two proposed city centres and one city park
is proposed in Bank village in planning unit No.
11.
3.19.5 Stadium and sport complex
The main stadiums situated in the city are Nehru
Stadium, Basketball Stadium and Table Tennis
stadium near Yeshwant Club. City level stadiums
(Sport Nagar) are proposed in planning unit No.
2 and another regional level sports complex
comprising stadium and other facilities is
proposed in village Bijalpur in planning Unit No.
10.
3.19.6 Local open space systems
Detailed planning of residential sectors will have
to be done to give due consideration for
provisions of formal and organised open spaces
corresponding to the local open spaces, forming
integral part of the built form. Local open space
system is envisaged be linearly structured
establishing continuity engulfing the recreational
and community based social facilities. The open
space system shown on the plan is indicative,
and may be modified, as per detail planning and
design of the individual sector. The third level of
open spaces correspond to system of open
space provisions made within sector and
neighborhood consisting of neighborhood parks
linearly inter-linked with an overall open space
network. At the time of preparation of zonal plan,
this system of open space will be developed with
cooperation of land owners and departments
concerned.
INDORE DEVELOPMENT PLAN - 2011 (DRAFT)
A surface drainage system is proposed to be
integrated with the open space system, in the
form of retention ponds and open channels. This
approach would help in conserving the ground
water and recharging the ponds. Apart from
contributing to new visual element to the urban
landscape, ft will modify the micro-climate.
3.20 REDEVELOPMENT AREAS
In the process of development/city expansion
certain existing built areas become centre for the
city growth acquiring high land values, shall be
identified as redevelopment areas. The strategy
for development of such areas shall be governed
by the following considerations:-
- Under utilized and in-efficiently utilized high
value lands subjected to land use pressure
shall be identified as redevelopment areas.
- Redevelopment schemes shall be treated as
special projects, Planning and design of such
process shall be evolved using urban design
approach.
- Activities permissible shall be governed by
the consideration of performance standards
achievable and compatibility levels with
adjoining areas. The scheme shall be framed
and zoning plan to be published as per the
procedure prescribed in the Adhiniyam.

In the central areas, 6 the redevelopment
scheme is prepared for better environment and
for improved circulation, in that case an additional
FAR of 0.25 shall be given adding to the
prescribed FAR of that particular area.
In case some area is left by the owner out of his
own plot for public use such as road, foot path
etc., two times of normally permissible F.A.R. in
respect of the area left for public use will be
permitted to be added to the structure on the
remaining plot. This will compensate the loss of
area to a great extent and will encourage leaving
of some area infront of the building for road
widening etc. The areas for redevelopment shall
be identified at the time of preparation of
redevelopment schemes.

3.22 HERITAGE AND CONSERVATION 8. High Court

AREAS
Urban image of city is a collective visual
appearance. Man made heritage is the build form
which got developed historically over many
centuries. The urban heritage contributing the
city identity and its image, ought to be preserved.
The heritage areas proposed are to be dealt with
utmost care. The restoration measures need to
be applied with a view to review their original
pride. The heritage and conservation areas are
listed below :-
1. Rajwada Palace
2. Lalbag Palace

3.23 GRAVEYARDS AND CREMATION
GROUNDS
The grave yards and cremation ground situated
in the rural zone shall continue to function. The
cremation ground and grave yards presently
functioning in existing built up area are proposed
to be retained unless situation so warrants to be

156
 INDORE DEVELOPMENT PLAN - 2011 (DRAFT)
relocated else where based on public demand.
In such cases the closest site in operation in rural
zone could be given appropriate approach to the
particular area for the purpose. In the existing
operational/habituated areas this activity be
restricted according to the situation on a time
scale and may be abandoned. The areas so
abandoned may be developed as green spaces.
Any proposal in respect of new site identified by
the collector on public demand shall also be
acceptable.
3.24 TRENCHING GROUND
There is one trenching ground in the planning
area situated at Devguradia road. This trenching
ground is propsed to be abondend because it is
falling in the proximity of proposed areas for the
future development. It is proposed that on all the
four corner of the city, trenching grounds will be
developed beyond the proposed urban
extensition. The location of these trenching
ground will be decided at the time of
implementation in consultation with district
administration and concerned local authorities.
After relocation of exiasting trenching ground,
the vacated site will be developed as an
exhibition ground at the patter of Pragati maidan
of New Delhi.
3.25 CENTRAL AREA
The existing core of the city which is known as
Rajwada and its surrounding, the hub of all
activities, is the most congested area. It has
maximum population pressure, maximum
intensity of buildings and movement of traffic and
services. The morphology of this old Central
Business District (CBD) is saturated and the
urban form has gradually changed its character,
is a matter of concern for the managers of the
city. The old CBD has gradually expanded its
activities and studies revealed that central area
has enlarged it self towards north-south direction.
it is felt necessary to formulate specific proposal
in terms of landuse, zoning regulation and traffic
and transportation etc. for the central area
separately as a part of overall Development plan
of the city so as to arrest haph hazardous
157
development in this area. Specific proposals for
landuse and transportation are given for the
revised limits of the central area.
3.26 EXTERNAL LIMITS OF CENTRAL
AREA
External Limits of Central area are as under
North - Bhandri Mill Railway Crossing,
Snehalataganj, Power House main

3.27 BASIC CONSIDERATION FOR
CENTRAL AREA PROPOSALS
The basic considerations for central’ area
proposal are given below
(a) LAND USE
1. Retention of mixed landuse in central area.
2. Relocation of only incompatible and
inefficient uses to suitable sites outside the
central area putting the land thus vacated to
more appropriate use.
3. Only those slums and Jhuggi-Jhopdi
Settlements may be cleared which are not
capable of improvement.
4. Rehabilitation of persons affected in the
process of relocation.
5. Improvement of living conditions and
INDORE DEVELOPMENT PLAN - 2011 (DRAFT)
circulation pattern to de-congest the central
area. Application of reduced residential
density and FAR and enlargement of the
previous CBD size.
(b) CIRCULATION
1. Provision of efficient public transportation
routes to improve accessibility to central
area.
2. Diversion of through traffic penetrating the
central area due to non availability of suitable
alternative routes.
3. Convenient circulation within the central area
for light vehicles with limited and controlled
accessibility whenever required.
4. Provision of new road links and widening of
existing one requiring least possible
demolition.
5. Provisions of adequate parking lots at
convenient places for cars, scooters, tempos
and Auto Rickshaws.
3.28 PROPOSED LAND USE PLAN FOR
CENTRAL AREA
The existing city centre (Rajwada area)located
within the central area will continue to function
as one of the centres envisaged in Development
plan for lndore. The proposed landuse pattern
for central area is shown in the enclosed map.
The main proposed uses of the central area are
as under:
3.28.1 Commercial
The predominant land use of the city centre was
commercial and at present the commercial
activities not only continued but spreaded on its
periphery which was under the residential use.
The north-south expansion of commercial
activities has been accepted in the land use plan
to reduce the burden of the traditional city centre.
The central area limits are proposed to be the
limits of planning unit no. 1 comprising area of
826 ha. The areas designated in the previous
plan as commercial will be continued in addition
158
to this, the new areas proposed for commercial
development as shown in proposed land use plan
for central area (Figure 3.4).
Development norms detailed out in Chapter-6 will
be applicable for the central area. In principle, the
traditional character of the CBD is proposed to
be maintained. The roads in the central area which
are proposed to be developed as commercial or
commercial cum residential roads are indicated
in Tables 3.8 to 3.10. The same outside the
central area are indicated in Table 3.11
3.28.2 Housing in central area
The mixed character of the living areas within
the city centre helps in building proper
relationship between the residential areas and
the work centres. Thus, it is considered
appropriate to maintain this mixed landuse
characteristics of the central area.
The main problems of housing in central area
are high occupancy rate resulting in high
residential density, bad sanitary conditions, lack
of Infrastructure and lack of amenities. It is
proposed to reduce the rate of occupancy and
residential density by encouraging shifting of
persons from central area to the other areas by
way of providing housing and infrastrucural
facilities. Amenities which are at present not
available in the central area are proposed to be
provided on the fringe of the central area where
open land is available at present.
3.28.3 Central area circulation
Vehicular entry into the central areas is mainly
through East-West arteries i.e. Mahatma Gandhi
Road and Jawahar Marg. Entry from North South
is through Jail road, lmli Bazar, Hathipala Road
and Nandlalpura Road etc.
These main traffic arteries viz. Mahatma Gandhi
Marg and Jawahar Marg, which are life lines of
the city pass through the central core. central
area traffic mainly moves on these two arteries
