Delhi is slated to become the world’s largest urban system within the coming decade. The city faces numerous challenges like environmental degradation, untapped land potential, unsustainable mobility, housing shortages, unplanned development, unsafe built fabric in need of regeneration, pollution, unequal access to civic services, etc. Master Plan for Delhi (MPD) is a key instrument that can address these issues and shape future development of the city. Given its complexity and importance, any ‘transformative strategies’ adopted in the next MPD can be a blueprint for Indian cities and for urbanism across the Global South. With this in view, NIUA has collaborated with DDA to develop MPD 2041 as an ‘enabling and strategic’ framework capable of (i) ‘redefining’ growth trajectories and priorities, (ii) ‘rethinking’ the regulatory planning approach adopted earlier, and (iii) ‘reinventing’ Delhi as a sustainable, liveable and vibrant city. The Draft Plan has been prepared through a rigorous process of baselining, stakeholder engagement, expert consultations and studies. It propounds a 6-point transformative agenda for environmental sustainability, economic development, enhancing heritage and public life, improving housing and social infrastructure, low carbon mobility and resilient infrastructure. Policies of the plan cover both greenfield development and regeneration of existing areas in the city.
