Enhancing implementation and stakeholder participation

Enhancing implementation and stakeholder participation : a critical appraisal of Delhi's land pooling policy - Vol.21(4), Oct-Dec - New Delhi Institute of Town Planners 2024 - 71-86p.
Land acquisition for urban development projects has traditionally relied on methods that are often marred
by legal constraints, social resistance, and rising costs. In response, development agencies have turned to
alternative mechanisms like land pooling as a means of assembling land for urban expansion. Delhi's Land Pooling
Policy, introduced in 2013, represents a unique approach wherein landowners, irrespective of their land size,
can participate, with private developers playing a significant role in development. However, the policy's success
hinges on stakeholder participation and effective implementation. The paper critically examines the policy's
current state, focusing on its impact on urban villages and its ability to address the city's growing population
and infrastructure needs. Through an analysis of stakeholder responses and factors influencing participation,
the study aims to propose recommendations for enhancing the policy's efficacy and attractiveness.
