As per URDPFI (2015), the density range (in persons per Hectare) suggested for overall planning approach for small towns in hill areas is \underline{\hspace{1cm}}.
Show Hint
- 20-30
- 45-75
- 100-125
- 125-150
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Step 1: About URDPFI Guidelines 2015.
The Urban and Regional Development Plans Formulation and Implementation (URDPFI) Guidelines (2015) were issued by the Government of India to provide planning norms for towns and cities. They cover aspects like population density, land use distribution, infrastructure standards, and environmental considerations.
Step 2: Planning for hill towns.
Hill towns face unique challenges such as:
- Steep terrain restricting construction area.
- Higher cost of infrastructure due to difficult topography.
- Limited carrying capacity of natural resources (like water, slope stability).
Thus, the planning guidelines recommend a lower density for hill areas as compared to plains or metropolitan cities.
Step 3: Recommended density values.
According to URDPFI (2015), the gross density suggested for small hill towns is 45–75 persons per hectare. This ensures balanced growth while keeping in mind ecological sensitivity.
