40. Empowering Poor through Physical Planning
.Urban planning – Preparing Plans for cities/its different parts- local area plans-Master
Plans/Development Plans/Zonal Plans/Zoning Plans/Layout plans
-- has critical role in
-- promoting/alleviating poverty
-- never rationally /objectively -studied , understood, appreciated and analyze
--Generally understood that;
- planned development remains people centric,
- - invariably leads to promoting universal public good
- -- focus on achieving and promoting improved human living.
- Looking objectively-- manner urban planning practiced / made operational,
- -- Urban planning, contributes in promoting poverty
- catering to riches of society
- -- exclusion of marginalized sections of society.
- Accordingly- approach to urban planning
- - needs review, revision and redefinition
- -- to involve and empower the poor
- Creating spaces for living, working in urban settlements
41. NULM – Physical PLANNING-1
• Accordingly urban planning should revolve around and should lead to;
1. Rationalising Urban Related Policies; All urban planning/development policies / programs evolved
at national, state and local levels, must remain poverty centric/ aim at minimizing challenges faced by poor
/empowering urban poor.
2. Promoting Co-operative cities; Cities must be planned on co-operative basis to create joint
ownerships for all the citizens so as to eliminate the ownership of urban resources, facilities and amenities by
few elites/riches in the city.
3. Making Urban Planning poor centric ;
- Making poor integral part of city planning and development process
-- while preparing Master plans/Development Plans/Local area plans
-- providing all basic amenities ,services and spaces essentially needed by the poor,
- for making their living and working qualitative..
4. Earmarking dedicated Commercial space; Earmarking adequate dedicated commercial space
/ defining appropriate norms and standards,- help the poor to contribute to the employment and economy
5. Earmarking dedicated Residential space; Earmarking/, developing dedicated space for
housing / defining appropriate norms and would help in minimizing growth of slums and shanty towns in urban
areas
6. Skilling Poor; Earmarking space for skill centers for skilling the urban poor for employment in the urban
context will help in empowering poor by source better employment.
42. NULM – Physical PLANNING-2
7.Creating Service Centers; Opening large number of service centers related to-- plumbing, electrification,
vehicle repairs, driving, healthcare, households work, landscaping, horticulture, garbage disposal etc.—marking
space such service centers -- made integral part of urban planning process.
8. Creating Day Markets; organization day-markets on rotation basis, for poor to market their products will
help in generating employment and creating opportunities for better earning for the poor in the city.
9. Permitting multiple use of formal urban spaces; Permitting poor to use prime urban spaces after close
and before open of formal markets, to create space for doing business by the poor will be a game changer in
alleviating poverty in the urban areas.
10.Developing Motor markets; Planning dedicated markets for carrying out repairs of the motor
vehicles in different parts of the city, will help in creating number of opportunities for employment of the poor
having skill in the repair of the automobiles/vehicles etc,
11.Registering Poor; Registering poor for realistically quantify/ understand need / demand for such
section of the community for undertaking planning for them in rational and realistic manner. Such an approach will
help in targeting right beneficiaries for all poor oriented programs.
12.Leasing Space; Space earmarked for poor should be made available on lease basis with period varying
with daily/weekly/monthly /yearly basis , depending upon nature of space allocated and activities permitted to be
carried out. No ownership of space allocated for poor should be ever permitted. Adequate checks/ balances
created within system to eliminate speculation /misuse/abuse of spaces allocated to poor.
43. NULM – Physical PLANNING-3
14 Promoting Circular Economy cities ; Cities planned, designed, developed following circular
pattern of economy, have great potential ,capacity and capability to minimize poverty by optimizing the use of
available resources and converting enormous waste being generated by them into wealth using different options .
Accordingly, cities creating large opportunities/ options for converting waste into wealth by making products which
can be used /consumed locally, can help in lowering the graph of poverty.
15 Involving Poor in Planning; For rationally understanding the basic requirements and empowering
the poor, it will be appropriate to make poor integral part of the urban planning, development and management
process. Involving poor in the planning and designing of urban spaces can help in not only making urban planning
process more rational, equitable and objective but will go along way in eliminating large number of ills facing the
urban settlements.
16.Using Technologies; Technology has enormous potential in optimizing resources, empowering people,
promoting operational efficiency, making innovations, promoting start up, creating large employment, creating
correct data base, effectively monitoring the implementation welfare schemes, connecting communities etc.
Accordingly , it will be important and critical to make technology integral part of all the policies and programs put
in operations for empowering poor.
17.Promoting Cross-subsidization; Making the mechanism of cross subsidization integral part of
the planning process will always help in generating revenue/resources and creating space for the urban poor
while planning/granting permission for different projects/schemes launched by the private sector in the city.
44. NULM – Physical PLANNING-4- Regional Planning
• 18.Prioritising Regional Planning;
-- Urban planning -- remains focus of all urban Planners
--leading to exclusion of the large number of rural settlements
-- ignoring major proportion of population living in rural areas of country - 68.9%, as per Census 2011).
-- has led to lopsided development of country
-- besides perpetuating poverty on large scale in urban areas
--.Poverty remains a human problem-- unfortunately reckoned as urban problem
-- because rural poverty gets concentrated in urban areas due to large scale rural- urban migration.
-- Prioritising Regional Planning will help in ;
-- Synergizing rural-urban India
-Bringing them on same platform
-- Making optimization of strength , resources, manpower, opportunities available in rural urban areas,
- Economizing on growth/development/providing services- decentralization of activities/population/industry etc.
-- Empowering poor in the rural settlements by;
-- Providing appropriate infrastructures/ services
--creating options/opportunities for better employment locally.
-- Regional planning– to be followed by urban & rural planning
-- For addressing development issues and challenges facing the poor at the settlement level .
45. NULM – Physical PLANNING-5
• 19 Creating well designed vendor’s markets- appropriately designed
markets based on nature of activities to be housed
• 20. Having Multiple options for vendor’s market- creating different options
for vendor’ markets based on mapping vendors activities in different
zones
• 21 Leasing Vendor’s site for a defined period- no creation of ownership
for vendors ; but creating assured lease unless sub-letted /violations of
leased conditions
• 22. Charging rational leased money- for the site allocated
• 23.Making provision of supportive infrastructures- parking, water,
sanitation, solid waste management
• 24.- Looking for appropriate/suitable sites – considering traffic ,
availability of public amenities
• 25- Planning for mobility of vendors-larger /better commercial space over
a period of time
• 26-Crating a National Register of Poor- for assessing the magnitude and
plan besides eliminating duplication/manipulation
