Publication details: New Delhi Institute of Town Planners 2019Edition: Vol.16(4), Oct-DecDescription: 22-30pSubject(s): Online resources: In: ITPI journalSummary: In this paper the author examines a shift in favor of land assembly as a method of procuring land for city development in Delhi with the illustration of the Land Pooling Policy, 2013. If most severe housing shortage is felt by the lower income groups, then most of the residential FAR should have been used for housing the poor. Instead this policy treats EWS as people who would use extra FAR. Although the policy is based on the free market principles, even here it does not completely succeed because it has created such a cumbersome process of producing built environment that the private sector is likely to be less interested in spending time handing over and taking over land and properties.| Item type | Current library | Status | Barcode | |
