____________________________________________________________________________

Two planning projects are required to be completed from the following areas.

(A) Housing

(B) Traffic/Transportation Planning Project.

A.HOUSING

The Project on Housing includes study of housing layouts for different economic classes,
different building forms, preparing lay-out plans of neighborhood incorporating field studies and
familiarization with site development standards, zoning and subdivision regulations. Assessment
of existing project, and preparation of housing plans and Neighborhood plans.

The objective of this exercise is to evolve comprehensive housing development strategy for the
selected city by studying city level and housing subsystem level aspects and estimating housing
shortage; projecting housing need and demand and preparing alternative scenario’s for housing
development.

B.TRAFFIC/TRANSPORTATION PLANNING PROJECT.

The project on Traffic /Transportation planning covers study of Traffic & Transportation Planning
of the City / Urban Area including hierarchy of roads, Planning parameters,problem identification
and solutions at city/ zonal /local level, intersections designs, logistic parks, bus/ rail terminal
studies, road safety audits etc. .

 PLANNING STUDIO WORK:

a.Undertake studies and surveys for Site selection, site analysis, technical feasibility studies, for
formulating the project and design of selected area / project.
b.Undertake studies to assess management, financial feasibility, Cost Benefit Analysis of
Project, Social and Economic Impacts of Various Projects,
c.Identify bottle-necks and prepare proposals suitable for implementation of Projects in
consultation with between Planning Authority and Stake Holders

The studies need to be carried out mainly through secondary sources. A field visit to any
town/city in India has to be made. The students are required to submit typed report (A4 Size
paper spiral bound, 2 copies) along with studio exhibits (imperial size drawing sheet) for both
the projects. The work shall be carried by the project team and to be presented to the panel of
examiners including one external examiner.
