SP 73 : 2023 Standardized Development and Building Regulations, 2023 This Special Publication, SP 73 : 2023 ‘Standardized Development and Building Regulations, 2023’ contains standardized regulations that lay down a set of minimum provisions to ensure safety in built environment, aligned to the provisions of the National Building Code of India 2016 (NBC 2016) as well as leading practices from India and abroad. The document is a model document that intends to bring forth uniformity in structuring, detailing as well as key approval processes throughout the country, without sacrificing any unique/area specific need of the various states and union territories (UTs), and within their concerned local bodies. The key beneficiaries of this document are the following: a) Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA) and Town and Country Planning Organization (TCPO) under MoHUA

Market Forces plays an important role in the entire eco system of Urban Development. Land Market Regime is influenced by 3 factors, LAND,LANDUSE & MARKET(Supply) which is controlled by Development Authorities /ULBs .Success of Urban Development depends on judicial mix of all 3 factors.This was my study conducted for Delhi Development Authority in year 2016.Still valid.

XKDR is hosting a hybrid talk by Anirudh Burman titled "Land without acquisition: A new regime of city expansion" at the XKDR office and online on 12 July from 16:00- 17:00. In the past two decades, land prices in cities have increased. As cities grow, this increase in land prices has made it difficult for city and state governments to acquire land to develop new areas to expand the city. In 2013, India’s century old land acquisition law was replaced by a new law that mandated higher prices for land acquisition by government. This change, combined with the growing value of urban land has sounded the death knell for compulsory land acquisition by government for urban growth. How are cities coping with this change? This talk will describe different policy variations governments in India have used to acquire land voluntarily rather than compulsorily in the past decade, and to identify the need for institutional changes in urban development bodies to cope with this shift. The event is open to all but registration is mandatory. Registration link: https://lnkd.in/dVzpVDMB

FWIW, last week at the NSW Parliamentary Inquiry into TODs, I offered four points to the committee. First, without stronger alignment between local government and State Government planning instruments, the development process may become mired in conflict eg https://lnkd.in/gkqW4hJN Second, there are opportunities to address gaps in statutory controls regarding both place and apartment design, particularly with respect to climate change adaptation. Third, NSW Government Masterplans and associated DCPs for the 8 priority growth areas should be informed by place-based analysis of families in apartments in those town centres. eg https://lnkd.in/gBjbcCcn. Finally, the potential for the TOD strategy to achieve affordable supply will differ between high and low value locations, with the potential to ‘gentrify’ existing affordable rental. The proportion of affordable housing needs to increase to off-set these impacts. See https://lnkd.in/gev4bRCE   The full third day of hearings for keen TOD watchers is here: https://lnkd.in/g9ZSHMWs Excellent colleagues Sophie-May Kerr, PhD, Shanaka Herath, Philip Oldfield and I kick-off at about 2 hours 57 minutes.

#NewEpisode #TheUrbanAgenda In the Union Budget 2024-25, presented by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, urban development emerged as one of the government's top nine priorities. Key initiatives include digitising urban land records and reducing stamp duties on property transactions, aimed at simplifying property ownership and boosting real estate. These measures are designed to propel India's growth, ensuring ease of property transactions and promoting prosperity. This week on The Urban Agenda, brought to you by India Sotheby's International Realty, join Manisha Natarajan as she explores how these Budget announcements could impact homeownership and urban development in India with Dr. NIRANJAN HIRANANDANI, Founder and Managing Director - Hiranandani Group; Ashwin Chadha, CEO, India Sotheby's International Realty, and Sanjay Kumar, Founder and CEO, Geospatial World. #NirmalaSitharaman #FinanceMinister #StampDuty #UrbanLandRecords #IndiaSothebysRealty #SothebysRealty NDTV NDTV Profit https://lnkd.in/gTMUfBQx

As metropolitan areas continue to evolve and present new challenges, the need for comprehensive and insightful analysis becomes increasingly crucial. Chetan Vaidya's recognition of the value our book brings to this discourse underscores the importance of collaborative efforts in advancing urban studies. The "Mappings" section of our book, as noted by Former Director NIUA Prof. Vaidya, represents a foundational aspect of our research, providing a comprehensive overview of key planning and development aspects across six major cities. It is our sincere hope that this volume serves as a valuable resource for scholars, practitioners, and policymakers alike, contributing to the ongoing dialogue on metropolitan literature. As we navigate the complexities of metropolitan development, we are inspired by Prof. Vaidya's endorsement to further expand our research and contribute meaningfully to the ongoing discourse on urban planning and development. We are immensely grateful to Prof. Vaidya for his kind words and encouragement. His endorsement reinforces our commitment to continuous learning and improvement in the field of urban studies.
