Chapter 04: Why Land Use Planning Policy?

2 Comments 
Visualise how land is being used globally, and the sectoral significance in terms forests, water, agriculture, settlements etc. We also look at how Constitution of India deals with Land and introduce ourselves to the relationship of spatial planning with different public policies. This chapter is part of a series on Hierarchical Spatial Planning Framework

“Climate change, population growth, rapid urbanisation, food insecurity and water scarcity – have increased competition for resources and heightened tensions and instability.”

António Guterres, Secretary General of the United Nations, while taking oath in 2017

Chapter 16: State Spatial Strategy

1 Comment 
We look at the evolution of state spatial strategies through the lens of the three pillars of sustainability i.e. environment, economy and society with two proposals/examples. We also get links to the details for of the two proposals. This chapter is part of a series on Hierarchical Spatial Planning Framework

For addressing the challenges and issues economic disparity, water constraints, or other sectoral conflicts and land use planning challenges as discussed earlier in Chapter 14, a state level spatial strategy can ensure that use of land is in general driven by its most economical and least environmental impact.

A state spatial strategy would ideally advocate assigning priority areas for economic development, no development as well as conservation and augmentation of water. This can improve economic competitiveness along with more equitable income distribution as compared to a scenario of continued water scarcity.

Who imagined that one policy has the potential to impact 14 goals and 37 targets? This chapter is part of a series on Hierarchical Spatial Planning Framework

Addressing issues pertaining to land through spatial and land use planning would substantially further the 2030 Global Agenda for Sustainable Development. A land use planning policy (if prepared) has a potential to positively impact achievement of 14 out of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) due to its direct relation to 37 targets spread across SDG 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 and 16.

Chapter 17: Framework for Regional Spatial Strategy and Planning

2 Comments 
We investigate what a regional plan should have. What zones to create and what all to include in those zones. This chapter is part of a series on Hierarchical Spatial Planning Framework

Land use capacities have varied overtime with changing spatial environmental and economic conditions. This has necessitated identification of land use capacity for alternative choices of land allocation among various uses. It is increasingly necessary to delineate the problem areas, which need separate attention. Since supply of land is fixed, use of land for one purpose will be at the expense of other. When huge investments are made on land for one purpose it cannot/should not be reverted to other uses.
