LOCATIO

 Hyderabad is located on 780 301 E longitude and 170 151 N latitude.

 Hyderabad lies at the convergence of National, State highways and trunk, air
and rail routes which link it with the regions of different culture, the national
capital, Delhi and other Metropolitan Centres such as Mumbai, Kokatta,
Bangalore, Nagpur and Chennai.
 Hyderabad is, therefore a natural meeting-point of the languages and cultures of
North and South India.

 HISTORICAL BACKGROUND OF
HYDERABAD

ORIGIN

 Hyderabad is the successor of the fortress town of Golconda whose ruins

are found at the extreme West of the city on the North bank of river Musi.

 This fortress city was the Capital of the Kingdom of Golconda from its
inception in 1510 A.D.

 Hyderabad was founded as Civil capital in 1591 on the South bank of the
Musi four miles East of Golconda.

 These two shared the Governmental functions of the State until 1687 when
both of them fell to Moghul forces and the Kingdom of Golconda was
annexed to Moghul Empire.

NEED FOR PLANNING

• To make allocations of land for future requirements

• Reduce traffic congestion

• Provision of green spaces

• Protection of environmentally sensitive areas

• Optimum utilization of existing resources

19
Master Plan
a) A perspective Plan for future Development.
b) A Document of Transportation/Road Network Plan for
the Present & Future needs.
c) A Tool for Regulating the Development through Land
Use control & Zoning Regulations.

20
Contents of a ‘Master Plan’.
• Proposals for future requirements and growth direction of the Town.
• Proposals for improvement of existing roads and future road network.
• Grouping of various Land Uses.
• Proposals for availability and access to basic services to all Citizens.
• Proposals for protection of environmentally sensitive areas.
• Conservation of Heritage Buildings & Precincts.
• Zoning Regulations & Building Requirements.

21
EARLIER PLANNING CONCEPTS OF HYDERABAD

• In the Qutb Shahi stage, the City was planned on a grid pattern consisting of two main
roads, running E-W and N-S and intersecting at Charminar, the city centre.

• Small nucleus of developments were developed round the palaces and the cantonment.

• During the transitional phase, the city wall was built defining the limits of the city.

• During the period 1725-1799, Hyderabad became the Capital of Deccan and Charminar
emerged as the commercial capital.

• The origin of Secunderabad resulted in the development of commercial and residential

opportunities for the local people leading to development of compact settlements extending
towards the city on the northern and southern sides.

22
Contd…
 EARLIER PLANNING CONCEPTS OF HYDERABAD
• The development of railways accelerated the development with Secunderabad exhibiting a greater economic pull due to the development of industries
and wholesale and retail business.

• The modern stage from 1908 onwards saw the emergence of residential neighborhoods in Kingsway and James Street.

• The introduction of bus services advanced the development of residential neighborhoods and business centers along the transport routes.

• In addition with increasing commuting opportunities industrial suburbs on the Bombay road near Sanathnagar, cantonment to the north of
Secunderabad and Osmania University have developed.

• The re-organisation of states in 1956 saw Hyderabad doning the Capital City status for Andhra Pradesh which stimulated development at a faster rate.

• Thus in a span of 400 years,

years, the City has undergone an extensive metamorphosis owing to changing historical, social, political and economic forces.

23
DEVELOPMENT PLAN OF MCH -1975
• After the formation of Andhra Pradesh, the City experienced a spurt in its growth.

• Most the city had become multifunctional in character with haphazard growth and irregular
pattern of circulation.

• To address the negative effects emanating from this uncontrolled and haphazard growth, the
first ‘Development Plan’ for the MCH was prepared and was notified in the 1975 in
G.O.Ms.No.414, MA Dt: 27.9.1975 .

• This was the first legally notified Master Plan for Hyderabad City.

• Earlier in 1930, Sir M.Visvesvaraya, eminent engineer of his time prepared a Report entitled
“City Improvement Schemes, Hyderabad Deccan”.

• This had a road network and land use plan in addition to specific projects for the city area.

• Later around 1945, Mohd. Fayazuddin, prepared a perspective plan not only for the City but
for the Suburbs as well.

• These plans were not notified under law though they contained extremely valuable and at
times futuristic suggestions for the city.
24
Contd…
DEVELOPMENT PLAN OF MCH -1975

• The development plan recommended a series of strategic measures for a guided

and planned development of Hyderabad in terms of landuse, zoning, circulation
pattern etc.

• The proposals include:

• Landuse Plan: indicating six broad categories of landuses to control the urban
growth and to provide a framework for a rational landuse pattern. The plan also
proposed densities for residential development.

• Redevelopment of City: Revival of walled city as major centre of activity and

conserve places of historical value and proposed shifting of vegetable market at
Mir Alam Mandi, fruit market at Jambagh and truck terminals to the Mir Jumla
Tank area.

• Circulation Pattern: to be provided in the form of loop road of 100 ft. wide in the
old city to relieve congestion at Charminar. The plan proposed development of an
Inner Ring Road and connections to the arterial roads and IRR.

THE 1980 MASTER PLAN.

For the metropolitan zones, the HUDA prepared and notified a Master Plan under the
Andhra Pradesh Urban Areas (Development) Act, 1975 vide G.O.Ms.No.391, MA dt:
23.06.1980, then referred to as the ‘non-municipal area’ of the Hyderabad (MCH).

Over the following decades, in addition to the MCH, twelve other Municipalities came
in to existence within the HDA.

EIGHTEEN ZONAL DEVELOPMENT PLANS (1980-1994).

 
The HUDA prepared and notified several Zonal Development Plans for parts of the
HDA covering both the MCH area and areas outside MCH.

Out of the 29 Planning Zones in the whole of HDA, 18 Zones (10 outside MCH area
and 8 inside MCH area) covering all the developed areas has ZDPs notified which
superseded the Master Plan and the Development Plans mentioned above to the extent
of the respective jurisdictions.

26
PLANNING OF OTHER AREAS OF HYDERABAD URBAN AGGLOMERATION

Master Plan for Cyberabad Development Authority (CDA) area is sanctioned in 2001.

CDA is a Special Area Development Authority covering 52 sq.km area.

Master Plan for the surrounding Municipal towns of MCH (now part of GHMC) was notified in
April, 2008 by the Government in (vide G.O.Ms.No.288MA Dt:03.04.2008).

Master Plan Hyderabad Air port Area Development Authority (HADA) is also approved by the
Government.

Draft Master Plan for the Core Area of GHMC (i. e Ex-MCH) has also been notiifed by the
Government on 17.2.10.

HMDA and GHMC are conducting series of public awareness meetings on this calling for
Objections and Suggestions of the Public so as to finalize the proposals.

For the expanded jurisdiction of HMDA (outside earlier HUDA jurisdiction), the HMDA is
preparing the Master Plan.

concentration of population in a given area.

v. Public utility Services: permits the economic use of various public utuility services
such as water supply, drainage lines, telephones etc.
