Scenario Planning based Participatory Urban Growth Management Plans using ICT

Abstract

In its very essence, this project aims at developing urban growth management plans for the cities of Muzaffargarh and Dadu using scenario planning based participatory approach and promises to disseminate plan documents through an urban portal. It is important to mention that the term ‘urban growth management plan’ is being used in its generalized meaning to cover the diversity of existing urban planning frameworks in Punjab and Sindh. More specifically speaking, it can be said that for Muzaffargarh-Punjab, urban growth management plan will equate peri-urban structure plan of the city developed under Punjab Land-use Rules 2009 while in case of Dadu-Sindh, urban growth management plan will be a structure plan prepared under Sindh Local Government Act 2013 and Guidelines for Master Plan Preparation 2012.
