WHAT IS A MASTER PLAN?

The Master Plan sets

public policies regarding

growth and development.

The information and

concepts presented in the

Master Plan are intended

to guide local decisions on

public and private uses of

land, as well as the

provision of public facilities.

A Master Plan is a blueprint for the future. It is a comprehensive document,

long range in its view, that is intended to guide development in the

Township for the next 10 to 20 years.

Data to be collected :

In general the data required for the preparation of master plan is as follows:

• Meteorological data regarding direction, intensity of wind, temperature and

rainfall.

• Geological data regarding soil condition.

• Mineral resources.

• Places of historical, cultural and scientific importance.

• Population—present and its future growth.

• Economic conditions.

• Trade and communication.

• Water supply and drainage arrangement.

• Expansion, development of environments.

• Political position of the place with regard to its neighbouring area.

INTRODUCTION

• Bangalore ( Bengaluru ) is the capital

city of the Indian state of Karnataka.

Located in the south-eastern part of

Karnataka.

• Nickname : Silicon valley of India.

• Geographical location - 12° 58’ N and 77 ° 35’ E

• Altitude – 920 m above MSL.

• Topography of Bangalore is generally flat.

• There are no major rivers flowing in the area.

• Bangalore has a string of freshwater lakes and water tanks, such as

Bellandur, Ulsoor, Hebbal, Madivala tanks etc.

• The soils of Bangalore district consist of red laterite and red fine

loamy to clayey soils.

CLIMATE-

• The climate of Bangalore is classified as the tropical wet and seasonally dry.

• Dry season - December to February.

• Summer season - March to May..

• South-West monsoon - June to September.

• Temperature -mean maximum -33.4 ° C in April/May

mean minimum of 15 ° C in December/January.

• Relative humidity - mean monthly - 44% (min) in March

- 85% (max) in October.

• The mean annual rainfall is 889 mm.

• Wind - easterly and westerly predominant directions.

• May to September - WSW to W.

• November to March -ENE to ESE.

• Bangalore city is located in a seismically stable region (Zone II ).

• As a city, Bangalore’s history in the last six decades has undergone

many changes. In the post independence decades Bangalore was

known as a Garden City of retirees’ bungalows, and for a significant

public sector presence, as a large number of centrally owned public

sector units as well as state government owned enterprises were set

up from the early to mid nineteen fifties onwards. The city also saw

the growth of several premier scientific research institutions, set up

by the central government.

Garden City Of India

Garden City to Silicon Valley

• As the era of economic reforms began, from the late 1980s, successive

governments in Karnataka, across political parties, pushed an economic

reform agenda due to which as is well known now, the city has now

become the icon of India’s information technology revolution, a major

centre for multi national companies, international banking, finance and

hospitality, and an attractive destination for an upwardly mobile, tech

savvy middle and upper class of citizens with multiple channels of

connection to the global economy and culture.

• All of this has entirely transformed the city’s landscape, as real estate

prices soared in the wake of the economic boom, and the horizontal

architecture of yesteryears gave way to the inevitable multi storied

complexes of offices and residences, malls and multiplexes.

• Bangalore is now known as the Silicon Valley of India because of the large

number of information technology companies located in the city which

contributed 33% of India's IT exports in 2006–07.

• Bangalore's IT industry is divided into three main clusters — Software

Technology Parks of India (STPI); International Tech Park, Bangalore

(ITPB); and Electronics City.

•Bangalore is the third most populous city in India and the 18th

most populous city in the world. Bangalore was the fastest-growing Indian

metropolis after New Delhi between 1991 and 2001, with a growth rate of 38%

during the decade.

•The cosmopolitan nature of the city has resulted in the migration of people from

other states to Bangalore.

•Women make up 47% of Bangalore's population.

•The city has a literacy rate of 89%.

•Roughly 10% of Bangalore's population lives in slums.

Bangalore’s Demographic Profile

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT -

The growth of Bangalore from a town to a metropolis has been a result of five growth events:

• Shifting the state capital from Mysore;

• Establishment of Cantonment;

• Setting up Public Sector Undertakings/Academic Institutions;

• Development of Textile Industry; and

• Development of Information Technology/ ITES/ Biotech based Industries.

The distribution of economic activities in the city reflects its history, its different stages of

development as well as the underlying socio-spatial contexts. Several distinct areas or

spatial groups emerge from the geographical distribution of activities in Bangalore. These

spatial groups are:

• The “Old Petta”, the historical heart of the city, constitutes a very important centre of

wholesale and retail activities.

• The North-East- form a second commercial hub in the Cantonment area.

• South-East- Electronic city area with large Public and Private software and IT enterprises.

• Western zone- Housing sector for most manufacturing workers

• North-south axis- Households for those engaged in trade and business.

• North- East- Households for those engaged in public and administrative services.

Factors influencing Bangalore’s growth-

Metropolitan Expansion

Five concentric belts:

• 1st Belt - The core area consisting of the historic Petta, the Administrative

Centre and the Central Business District;

• 2nd Belt - Peri-central area with older planned residential areas surrounding

the core area;

• 3rd Belt - Recent extensions (2003) of the City flanking

both sides of the Outer Ring Road,

a portion of which lacks services

and infrastructure facilities and is

termed as a shadow area;

• 4th Belt - New layouts with some

vacant lots and agricultural lands; and

• 5th Belt - Green belt and agricultural area

in the City's outskirts including small villages.

Master Plan - 2015

Proposed Land Use Map

Main Areas Category

The Main Areas Category consists of 16 zones each containing specific

regulations and rules that apply to selected areas. The 16 zones are

applied to five selected areas of the LPA based on their characteristics,

urban pattern and development potential.

LAND USE ZONES

Specific Areas Category

Areas within the LPA which have specific land uses that are not included

under the Main Areas Category come under the Specific Areas

Category. Development within these areas requires coordination and

consultation with the concerned Authority or government body in order to

comply with the larger framework of the Draft Master Plan - 2015.

Constraint Areas Category

Constraint Areas Category covers areas within the LPA which have

restrictions on development and specific criteria for development around

and within them. The restrictions are commonly governed by specific Acts or

regulations.

Spatial Growth

• Economic, social and population growth translated into spatial

development of the city indicates an urban form of Bangalore

that is characterized by a radio concentric system structured by

ring roads, five major radial roads3 and live secondary radial

roads4 that converge towards the centre of the city.

• The major and secondary radial roads that form a ten-pointed

star constitute the organizational system of the city, and are

important as they support both industrial and commercial

development.

Proposed Transport System Network

BANGLORE

Bangalore gets its water from the Cauvery river about 95km from the city.

Bangalore Water Supply

Sewage

• The number of households connected to the sewage network increased

from 157,000 in 1991 to 344,000 in 2001, and the population grew

from 18.9% to 30%.

• The significance of this rate, which just concerns the connections to the

formal well-to-do category of the population, indicates, the lack of sewage

network on one hand and on the other, the fact that often covered storm

water drains are used for sewage disposal.

• The result is that about 70% of the BMP population uses a drainage

system that translates to a geographical area of about 40% of the total

LPA area.

• The production of Waste in Bangalore is approximately 2200 tons per

day, with 0.4 kg of Waste produced per day per person. While collection

is carried out regularly, Waste treatment is an issue of concern.

• Only 300 to 350 tons of Waste is currently treated every day for

composting and the remaining Waste is disposed in an unhygienic manner.

• At present the City has treatment and disposal facilities with combined

capacity of 2000 MT and 1600 MT, respectively.

• New dump sites and landfill sites are to be identified and developed to

serve the purpose.

Solid Waste Disposal

Drainage zones with major sewers

Drainage

• The growing geographic spread of Bangalore and accompanying

construction activity has interrupted the natural valley system of the

region.

• Construction has also resulted in tilling up small Water bodies and

low-lying areas. The flooding of drains during each monsoon exposes

its poor state and their inadequate capacity, and impacts the City’s

overall infrastructure.

• With the growth of the City, the number of lakes has reduced to 64

from 400, and small lakes and tank beds have vanished because of

encroachment and construction activities.

• Dumping of municipal solid Waste (MSW) in the drains compounds the

problem and leads to blockages.

• To control floods, it is important to remove silt and Widen these

storm Water drains to maintain the chain flow and avoid Water from

stagnating at one point.
