3. 1. URBAN PLANNING
The urban development plan can be prepared by keeping in the view of
local conditions.
It aims at proper distribution of population densities, regulation of
traffic , location of shopping and recreational centre , provision of green
belt , suitable division of the area in various zone etc
It is quite evident that local planning will be greatly influenced by
economic conditions and finances available for the development of the
town

4. 2. RURAL PLANNING
The area surrounding a town cannot be allowed to develop in haphazard
way
Generally , a town is surrounded by villages and rural planning becomes
necessary for the proper functioning of the town
For the purpose , the surrounding villages should be linked up with
suitable transportation facilities and whatever possible , the
encouragement should be given for the growth of various village
industries such as dairy , poultry farming , basket and rope making ,
weaving on manually operated looms etc.

5. 2. RURAL PLANNING
If possible , the rural industry may even be supplemented by
mechanical aids
A proper balance between agriculture and industry should be
maintained without disturbing the character of rural area
It should be remembered that country planning and town planning are
complementary to each other and they cannot be treated as two
independent separate entities

6. 3.REGIONAL PLANNING
The term regional planning is used to include proposal in a region for
the distribution of population and industry , transport facilities , rural
service , village industries etc
A town or a city cannot be isolated from its surrounding region
Hence , the term region is generally used to define areas separated not
merely or exclusively by natural boundaries , but equally by political or
administrative boundaries

7. 3.REGIONAL PLANNING
In general , a region may be defined as an area within which interaction
is more intense than its interaction with other areas and the modern
practice is to consider the following regional planning :
1. agricultural regions
2.industrial areas
3. large hydroelectric power stations
4.resort and recreational areas
5.suburban zones of large cities

8. NECESSITY OF REGIONAL PLANNING
1. It avoids the wasteful duplication of facilities . For instance , the local
planning cannot take care of highways and trunk routes
2. It ensures the most profitable utilisation of the resources at minimum
expense for the maximum benefit of both the individual and
communities in the region
3. It gives the information regarding the economic functions which are to
be performed by the surrounding areas
4. It grants mutual control over the areas in the region . It gives the local
planners knowledge of relationship between the area of region and they
can thus base their plan on this information

9. NECESSITY OF REGIONAL PLANNING
5. It grants planned and harmonious development of the national
economy especially in case of the developing countries
6. It involves planning in terms of regional dimensions because man’s
mobility and his normal activities are spread over a much large area
than what he use to cover in the days of bullock carts
7. It reveals new town planning and building principles and make it
possible to reject to a certain extent a static character of new towns and
to adopt a ore flexible and dynamic structure . It thus helps
considerably for providing the requirements for the development of the
modern town
8. It serves as a link of cooperation between the areas of the region

10. USES OF SURVEY FOR TOWN PLANNER
1. It gives the town planner to have some basis for his thinking and
working
2. They provide an appropriate information regarding the community to
be served by the town planning scheme
3. They suggest the means of developing the public opinion and
appreciation in favour of the town Planning scheme.
