URBAN PLANNING
Urban planning helps to formulate long and medium-term objectives for
the sustainable urban growth. The primary step/ phase of urban planning
is the preparation of present/ existing urban land-use maps. Urban
growth being dynamic in nature, periodic updation of urban land-use is
required for effective urban planning. Satellite remote sensing offers
excellent opportunities not only for mapping, measuring, managing,
monitoring the changes or developments caused by urbanisation but also
helps the Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) to enforce regulatory control
measures.
MAJOR HIGHLIGHTS

Bhuvan-NUIS
A Web-based Application for Geospatial Data Support for Master Plan Preparation
At the behest of Ministry of Urban Development, NRSC/ISRO has developed Bhuvan-NUIS web application to
enable the ULBs prepare the Master Plans themselves. Bhuvan-NUIS is a open source GIS providing a
comprehensive Geospatial framework for creation and updation of spatial and attribute data along with
customised spatial analysis tools required for urban planning. Town and Country Planning professionals across the
country have been trained to use this application. Many State Town & Country Planning Departments have
identified towns for preparing Master Plans on Bhuvan-NUIS platform.
