1. Preliminary Studies

• Define Objectives – residential, industrial, commercial, or mixed-use development.

• Review Existing Master Plans – regional & municipal plans, zoning regulations, development control rules.

• Data Collection – census data, socio-economic surveys, infrastructure availability.

2. Reconnaissance Survey

• Site Visit & Inspection – understand terrain, drainage, vegetation, existing settlements.

• Base Map Preparation – using cadastral maps, satellite imagery, and existing records.

• Stakeholder Consultation – community, local authorities, and developers.

3. Topographical & Geospatial Survey

• DGPS / Total Station Survey – establish ground control points.

• Drone / Photogrammetry Survey – for high-resolution ortho-maps and 3D models.

• GIS Mapping – layers of land use, transport, hydrology, utilities, and environment.

4. Geotechnical & Environmental Survey

• Soil & Subsurface Investigation – soil bearing capacity, groundwater table.

• Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) – air, water, noise, ecology, flood risk.

• Hazard/Risk Mapping – seismic, flood, or landslide zones.

5. Land Use & Infrastructure Assessment

• Existing Land Use Survey – residential, agricultural, industrial, open spaces.

• Transportation & Connectivity Analysis – road hierarchy, public transport, accessibility.

• Utility Services Survey – water supply, drainage, sewerage, power, solid waste.

6. Urban Design & Planning

• Conceptual Master Plan – zoning, road network, green spaces, public amenities.

• Land Use Plan – residential, commercial, institutional, industrial, recreational.

• Infrastructure Design –

  • Roads & Transportation (arterial, sub-arterial, collector, local).

  • Water supply & sewerage system.

  • Stormwater drainage.

  • Power & communication networks.

• Urban Form & Aesthetics – skyline control, heritage conservation, open spaces.

7. Socio-Economic & Demographic Analysis

• Population Projection – based on census growth rate.

• Housing Demand Assessment – affordable, mid-income, high-income.

• Economic Development Study – employment zones, industrial hubs, commercial centers.

8. Planning Proposals

• Master Plan Drafting – phased development with zoning regulations.

• Transport Network Plan – roads, metro, BRT, cycling, pedestrian pathways.

• Infrastructure Upgradation Plan – water, sewerage, drainage, power.

• Smart City Features – ICT integration, renewable energy, e-governance.

9. Implementation Framework

• Phasing of Development – short, medium, and long-term plans.

• Cost Estimation & Financial Planning – project costing, PPP models, funding sources.

• Policy & Regulation Support – bylaws, building regulations, zoning codes.

• Institutional Setup – urban development authorities, municipal corporations.

10. Monitoring & Evaluation

• Performance Indicators – housing delivery, infrastructure provision, environmental sustainability.

• GIS-based Monitoring – real-time updates of development progress.

• Community Feedback & Participation – continuous review and updates.
