DDA to hold over 20 stakeholder meets to push MPD-2047 implementation

Following the notification of the Master Plan for Delhi-2047, the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) plans to launch a major outreach drive to accelerate its implementation. Under the directions of Delhi Lieutenant Governor Taranjit Singh Sandhu, the DDA will hold more than 20 stakeholder meetings over the next three months, engaging directly with elected representatives, Government agencies, professional bodies, industry, residents, landowners, and other stakeholders.

“The meetings will provide a platform for focused interaction on various provisions of MPD-2047 and facilitate greater coordination in translating the plan’s vision into action,” the DDA said.

To boost industrial growth, the DDA will consult industry bodies and chambers, including CII, FICCI, PHDCCI, ASSOCHAM and DSIIDC, on measures to promote industrial development and facilitate land availability for industry, it said.

The DDA said, “Architects, planners, professional institutions and private developers will be engaged in discussions on development opportunities under TOD, HDC and Land Pooling.”

As part of the initiative, the DDA will hold separate interactions with MPs and MLAs on key provisions of MPD-2047, including Transit-Oriented Development (TOD), High-Density Corridors (HDC), Land Pooling, and Low-Density Areas (LDA).

“The DDA will reach out to RWAs, Group Housing Societies, Cooperative Group Housing Societies and other stakeholders on redevelopment of Group Housing. For Land Pooling, interactions with farmers, landowners and local stakeholders will be undertaken through area-based meetings. The outreach programme will also cover Low Density Areas; rejuvenation of the Yamuna and development of Delhi’s blue-green network; heritage conservation; mixed-use development; development and redevelopment of commercial centres; in-situ slum redevelopment; and measures for decongestion and improved mobility,” it said.

Focused stakeholder interactions are also proposed on developing Delhi’s education and medical hubs, with participation from educational institutions, universities, healthcare institutions and other concerned stakeholders.
