520			_aGuwahati was the first city to be taken up for master planning in the state of Assam in the early 1960s. Since then it has been administered under three master plans. With the release of a draft master plan in 2015, the city has crossed fifty years of planning. In this article the authors trace the urban development trajectory of Guwahati via an empirical understanding of its land use and governance by taking up city’s master plans as the points of reference. Through this study, the authors draw upon the larger challenges that have kept the plans at odds with the city’s actual development. The authors argue that Guwahati provides an ideal case of post-colonial governance struggling with neoliberal development agenda, which has resulted in ad-hoc urban development in the city. Through retrospection on Guwahati’s master plans and urban governance procedures, the authors comment on the relevance of master planning for the future of Indian cities.
