New Delhi, Aug 30 (IANS) Following Delhi Lieutenant Governor T.S. Sandhu’s suggestion to ensure wider public participation in the implementation of the Master Plan, the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) has made available a set of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) on Master Plan for Delhi-2047 (MPD-2047) on its website, an official said on Sunday.
The FAQs on MPD-2047 have been added to its official website under the “What’s New” section, the DDA said in a statement.
The FAQs provide citizens and stakeholders with simple, easily accessible information on the various provisions of the Plan.
They cover a wide spectrum of subjects, including General Provisions, Development Control Norms, Redevelopment, Heritage and Public Spaces, Land Pooling Policy, Transit Oriented Development (TOD), High Density Corridors (HDC), Low Density Areas (LDA), and In-situ Slum Rehabilitation (ISR), the statement said.
The DDA has also introduced the “MPD-2047 (Feedback)” facility through its Citizen Services platform, enabling citizens and stakeholders to directly share their suggestions and feedback related to the Master Plan.
Accessible at citzservices.dda.org.in, users simply need to sign up on the platform, after which the “MPD-2047 (Feedback)” option becomes visible in the menu bar. Besides, it can also be accessed under “At Your Service” section, the statement added.
The feedback facility provides a direct channel for citizens and stakeholders to place their views before the DDA, facilitating continued dialogue and a more participatory approach towards the MPD-2047, it said.
To further simplify the understanding of the Master Plan, the DDA has also made available creatives and other visual communication material covering various themes and provisions of MPD-2047, the statement added.
These resources present planning concepts and key provisions in a simple and accessible manner, enabling citizens and stakeholders to better understand the development framework and opportunities envisaged under the Plan, it said.
These digital initiatives complement DDA’s ongoing three-month stakeholder engagement programme, under which 20 meetings are scheduled on various aspects of MPD-2047.
The engagement will bring together elected representatives, government agencies and service providers, industry bodies, architects and planners, residents’ and group housing representatives, farmers and landowners, and other concerned stakeholders, the DDA said.
