Abstract - This dissertation examines the urban planning and development strategies for Hindaun City's North Zone through the creation of a Zonal Development Plan (ZDP) for 2036. Hindaun City, a significant urban center in Rajasthan, is experiencing rapid population growth and urbanization, necessitating a comprehensive and sustainable development plan. The Master Plan for Hindaun City 2036 provides a broad framework, and this dissertation delves into the specific proposals for the North Zone, known as Zone A.
The research employs a multi-method approach, including Geographic Information System (GIS) mapping, analysis of existing conditions, stakeholder consultations, and policy reviews. The study identifies critical areas for intervention in residential, commercial, industrial, and recreational sectors, proposing detailed land use plans and infrastructure improvements. Special attention is given to enhancing social and physical infrastructure, addressing environmental sustainability, and ensuring equitable development.
Key findings reveal that while Hindaun City has made significant strides in urban development, challenges such as inadequate infrastructure, unplanned growth, and environmental degradation persist. The proposed ZDP aims to address these issues through targeted policies and strategic interventions. The dissertation concludes with recommendations for implementing the ZDP effectively, emphasizing the need for continuous monitoring, stakeholder engagement, and adaptive management to ensure the plan's success.
By providing a detailed case study of Hindaun City's North Zone, this dissertation contributes to the broader discourse on urban planning and development in rapidly growing cities. The findings and recommendations offer valuable insights for policymakers, urban planners, and researchers focused on sustainable urban development
