Ghaziabad: The new city plan of this city will open more fields for the use of housing along the toll road and Rapid Rail corridor as city planning is increasingly focused on development around the transit point to help residents remain closer to the job or public transportation access points.
At the Ghaziabad Master Plan 2031, which will take effect at the end of this year, the use of housing land has been upgraded to 42% from 41.5% in the previous plan (Master Plan 2021).
“The use of land housing around RRTS (Rapid Rail Transit System) Corridor, Delhi-Meerut Expressway and East Peripheral Expressway is projected to increase, and keep the projection in mind, land use has been changed in the 2031 parent plan in the surrounding areas,” said the chairman of the city planner Gda, Asheesh Shivpuri.
Shivpuri added that the Ghaziabad population projection in 2031 was estimated at 46 lakh.
At the Master Plan 2021, the population projection is 34.5 lakh.
Land intended for green belts, which includes parks and wooded areas, has increased marginally from 15.75% to 16% in a new master plan.
Land status in other categories such as commercial, office, community and for roads and transportation is largely unchanged in the Master Plan 2031.
Significant changes have been carried out in the industrial category with 8% of the land specifically intended for logistics and warehouses.
This is synchronized with a multi-capital logistics hub that comes at 150 hectares of land near Dasna and has been included in the Master 2031 plan.
“At the Master Plan 2031, the land under the head of the industry will drop from 5.5% of the total land to 5%, but In the same head, 8% of the land has been intended for logistics and warehouses, “Shivpuri said.
“The closeness of Ghaziabad with the national capital and the fact that the land chosen for this site is close to Delhi-Meerut Expressway, Eastern Peripheral Expressway and Line Railway Delhi-Howrah has made it ideal for developing the city to the NCR logistics hub,” Shivpuri added.

Plan Master 2031 will apply for a period of 10 years unlike the previous one, which is valid for 20 years.
“In the infrastructure scenario and the continued population, 10 years is a long time and planning has been carried out for 10 years,” Shivpuri said, added, “This is the first time the geographical information system (GIS), which requires the use of satellite imagery, has been Hiring to make a master plan.
“Plan Master 2031 will be discussed by the Government Committee on January 5, Shivpuri said.
“This process will take at least six to seven months before the Master Plan 2031 will come into force,” he added.
