Urban planning helps to formulate long and medium-term objectives for the sustainable urban growth. The primary step/ phase of urban planning is the preparation of present/ existing urban land-use maps. Urban growth being dynamic in nature, periodic updation of urban land-use is required for effective urban planning. Satellite remote sensing offers excellent opportunities not only for mapping, measuring, managing, monitoring the changes or developments caused by urbanisation but also helps the Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) to enforce regulatory control measures.

· First-time National-level High-

Resolution Satellite data

utilisation for preparation of

Large-scale (1:10,000) Urban

Geospatial Database under the

National Urban Infrastructure

(NUIS) programme

· Standards established for

preparation of large-scale

space-based geospatial

database

· Trained about 300 scientists

from Partner Institutes (PIs)

(State Remote Sensing Centres

and other premier institutes)

on large-scale mapping using

high-resolution satellite data

MAJOR HIGHLIGHTS

· Geospatial database for 152

towns made available to Urban

Local Bodies (ULBs) on Bhuvan

platform formed the basic

inputs for Master Plan

preparation

· Benefited State Urban

Departments and Partner

Institutes to adopt NUIS

standards and execute many

State-level urban mapping

projects

Bhuvan-NUISA Web-based Application for Geospatial Data Support for Master Plan Preparation

At the behest of Ministry of Urban Development, NRSC/ISRO has developed Bhuvan-NUIS web application to enable the ULBs prepare the Master Plans themselves. Bhuvan-NUIS is a open source GIS providing a comprehensive Geospatial framework for creation and updation of spatial and attribute data along with customised spatial analysis tools required for urban planning. Town and Country Planning professionals across the country have been trained to use this application. Many State Town & Country Planning Departments have identified towns for preparing Master Plans on Bhuvan-NUIS platform.
