Rekha Gupta Unveils Delhi Master Plan 2047 Priorities
Delhi’s chief minister shared a long-term plan for the city.
The plan is called the Delhi Master Plan 2047.
It is meant to guide development in different parts of Delhi.
These areas include villages, unauthorised colonies and already planned neighbourhoods.
Delhi has limited space, covering 1,484 square kilometres.
The plan also aims to deal with pollution caused by transport.
It includes housing for people from all sections of society.
Shops and other businesses will be allowed on the ground floors of buildings beside roads that are 30 metres wide.
Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta outlined key features of the Delhi Master Plan 2047.
The plan addresses development across rural areas, unauthorised colonies and planned zones.
Gupta said Delhi’s development must account for its 1,484-square-kilometre area.
Reducing transport-related pollution is identified as a major planning priority.
Ground-floor commercial activity will be permitted along all 30-metre-wide roads, Gupta announced.
