Abstract:
The base concept from which the entire research problem emerged is as
follows:
Lack of spatial planning and effective development management system lead
to urban sprawl with non-optimal density of population to support urban
infrastructure on the one side causing a lesser quality of life in urban areas. On the
other side it causes loss of productivity of natural ecosystems and agricultural areas
due to disturbance to the ecosystems. Planned compact high density development
with compatible mixed land use can go a long way in achieving environmental
efficiency of development management system.
