New Delhi Master Plan cleared: Redevelopment of smaller plots, easing of land pooling norms proposed
The Delhi Development Authority (DDA) recently approved the Draft Master Plan for Delhi (MPD)-2047, which aims to facilitate high-density development and ease redevelopment of existing residential areas in Outer Delhi. The proposed changes include allowing smaller plots to be redeveloped under a public-private partnership (PPP) model, easing land pooling policies, and permitting higher-density construction near expressways.
The MPD-2047 will address the lack of housing and commercial space in the city over the past two decades and aims to increase the number of housing and commercial units to lower property prices. The plan also focuses on integrated urban development, economic growth, mobility, environmental sustainability, and heritage conservation.
With Delhi's population projected to grow significantly by 2047, the master plan seeks to create an integrated approach to address the needs of the rapidly growing capital.
