 MASTER PLAN
 A master plan or a development plan or a town plan may
be defined as a general plan for the future layout of a city
showing both the existing and proposed streets or roads,
open spaces, public buildings etc.

old city or for a new town to be developed on a virgin
soil.
 A master plan is a blueprint for the future.

that is intended to guide development in the township for
the next 10 to 20 years.
 OBJECTIVES

satisfy the present requirements without introduction
of future improvements by the coming generations.

 HISTORY
 In the 13th century, King Pethasinh of Pethapur, ruled
over Shertha town. After the death of Pethasinh, the
Sultanate of Patan used this land as battle ground. Sultan
Ahmed Shah decided to move his capital from Patan,
Gujarat to a new city, and built Ahmedabad.
 In 1960, Bombay state was split in two different states,
Gujarat and Maharastra. Ahmedabad became capital of
Gujarat, and a new capital city was to be built on land
which was once part of Pethapur state.
 The city has developed in four distinct phases:
1) Phase 1: After the city's infrastructure was
completed in 1970, and until 1980, it was known as
'Gandhian City,' since it was based on Gandhi's
concepts and principles.
2) Phase 2: Between 1980 and 1990, a time of low
pollution, it was known as 'Unpolluted City'.
3) Phase 3: After 1990, many trees were planted, and
the city became the 'Green City.'
4) Phase 4: In 2002, Gujarat's Chief Minister, Narendra
Modi proposed a new, triple focus for the city: it
should be green, It should use solar energy, and It
should be cosmopolitan.
