Urban and Regional Planning in India: A Handbook for Professional Practice
India's approach to urban and regional planning has shifted dramatically in recent years. The shift away from Five-Year Plans towards NITI Aayog, coupled with sweeping changes in housing policy overseen by MoHUA, means planners today face a vastly more intricate professional terrain. The Institute of Town Planners, India has introduced fresh ethical standards and revised guidelines that have fundamentally altered how practitioners operate. This second edition serves as a hands-on manual for navigating these currents. Dr Kulshrestha draws on decades of professional experience to bridge the gap between textbook knowledge and what actually happens on the ground. The book incorporates recent fee schedules, workload calculations based on personnel hours, and the newest 2024 amendments governing professional behaviour. Rather than abstract theory, you'll find concrete guidance rooted in how planning really works in today's India. Whether you're starting out in the field, managing active projects, or seeking clarity on current standards, this volume offers straightforward, actionable insight into contemporary practice.
