NEW DELHI: Following the notification of the Master Plan for Delhi-2047, the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) plans to launch a major outreach drive to accelerate its implementation, officials said on Sunday.
Under the directions of Lieutenant-Governor Taranjit Singh Sandhu, the DDA will hold more than 20 stakeholder meetings over the next three months, engaging directly with elected representatives, government agencies, professional bodies, industry, residents, landowners, and other stakeholders.
The meetings will provide a platform for focused interaction on various provisions of MPD-2047 and facilitate greater coordination and participation in translating the plan’s vision into action.
As part of the outreach, the DDA will interact with MPs and MLAs on the major provisions of MPD-2047, including Transit Oriented Development (TOD), High Density Corridors (HDC), Land Pooling and Low Density Areas (LDA). Separate interactions will also be held with government agencies and service providers to strengthen coordination for implementation of the Plan.
Industry bodies and chambers, including CII, FICCI, PHD Chamber, ASSOCHAM and DSIIDC, will be engaged on measures for promoting industrial development and facilitating availability of land for industry. Architects, planners, professional institutions and private-sector stakeholders will also be involved in discussions on TOD, HDC, Land Pooling and other development opportunities envisaged under MPD.
The DDA will reach out to RWAs, group housing societies, cooperative group housing societies and other stakeholders on redevelopment of Group Housing. For Land Pooling, interactions with farmers, landowners and local stakeholders will be undertaken through area-based meetings.
The outreach programme will also cover Low Density Areas; rejuvenation of the Yamuna and development of Delhi’s blue-green network; heritage conservation; mixed-use development; development and redevelopment of commercial centres; in-situ slum redevelopment; and measures for decongestion and improved mobility.
Focused stakeholder interactions are also proposed on developing Delhi’s education and medical hubs, with participation from educational institutions, universities, healthcare institutions and other concerned stakeholders.
Through this extensive outreach exercise, DDA aims to build greater awareness about the opportunities available under MPD-2047, strengthen coordination among implementing agencies and encourage active participation of citizens and stakeholders in shaping Delhi’s development over the coming decades.
