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.
