Master Plan
A Master Plan is an official document with legal backing, consisting of a report and necessary maps, prepared by a government agency, which sets forth major policies to guide the physical development of a city.
It is subject to continual review and responsive to appropriate change.
It is usually prepared for a specified time period (about 20 years).
Master plan is a process rather than a statement.
Objectives of Master Plan To guide and control the physical development of the
city, with a view to promote health, safety, welfare and convenience of the people.
To organize and co-ordinate complex relationships between different land-uses.
To arrange the town in such a way that it satisfies, not only the present requirements, but also those of the coming generation with maximum convenience and minimum expenditure.
To promote public interests through a democratic determination of policies.
To inject long-range consideration into short-range action.
To bring about policies, through a co-ordination of general people, professionals, technical and political personnel.
Master Plan (Current Practice)
• Example: Master Plan for Sylhet Divisional Town (2010-2030)
Urban Development Directorate (UDD) prepared a Structure Plan for Sylhet Town back in 1987 under external aid.
Because of population growth and increasing remittance pouring into the local economy the importance of the town increased and the town was upgraded as a Divisional Town in 2002, which made the former Structure Plan outdated.
Master Plan (Current Practice)
In this situation UDD took an initiative to revise and update the previous Structure Plan aiming to meet the increasing pressure for urban infrastructure and basic services.
This project was necessary to contain a composite development plan overlooking for next 20 years. UDD initiated the current planning process, out of the urge to streamlining the prevailing uncontrolled and unmanageable spatial development of the rapidly growing urban Sylhet.
Master Plan
• The Master Plan package consists of three levels and types in a hierarchical order. These are:
1. The Structure Plan (SP) or general development plan;
2. The Urban Area Plan and
3. The Detailed Area Plan (DAP).
Master Plan
Structure Plan Area
The Sylhet City is governed by a City Corporation comprising 27 Wards and 278 Mahallahs and with an area of 26.5 sq. km.
The proposed Structure Plan area has been estimated to be 85.18 sq. km or 21,039 acres that includes, apart from the City Corporation, the potential urban areas within its vicinity.
Structure Plan
• Structure Plan is a broad, indicative and open ended plan that contains policy framework for further plans and development actions.
• Based on the Structure Plan policy framework elaborate development proposals are prepared at subsequent lower levels.
• It is not the aim of structure plan to go for plot to plot land use proposals or local or access roads and detailed services and facilities. Instead it identifies areas where growth is likely to take place in future and addresses the major issues only. It also marks the possible areas of future expansion.
Structure Plan
Objectives of the Structure Plan
To guide long term growth within the Structure Plan Area by means of:
Demarcation of the future growth areas;
Indication of important physical infrastructure.
• Setting out policy recommendations for future development.
Structure Plan
Structure Plan Area
The Structure Plan Area will be the whole study area, whereas the Urban Area Plan includes only those areas which have development potentials for the upcoming 10 years.
The proposed SP area is 85.18 sq. km.
Structure Plan
Style and Format As a long term policy plan the span of structure Plan runs over 20 years.
It is presented in the form of written document supported by tables, maps, and graphs.
The written text analyses the issues that are not possible to be presented as diagrams, drawings and maps.
It is an indicative and policy level plan, which will be detailed out in Urban Area Plan and in the Detailed Area Plans.
Structure Plan
The Structure Plan Map shows:
Existing Features:
- Major roads, Rail Line and Bridges - Key Establishments (indicative) - Main Rivers and Khals - Hills and Tea Gardens - Rural and agricultural area - Flood Protection Structure (indicative) - Existing Built up Area - Special Security Establishment and Important key point installations like Police line, Power Plant etc. (indicative)

Structure Plan
The entire Structure Plan Area has been further sub-divided into 12 Strategic Planning Zones (SPZ).
Out of 12 SPZs, six are within the proposed urban area and the rest six lie in the Extended Area of the Structure Plan.
Extended Area comprises, both, the rural as well as declared urban areas.
Structure Plan
Following are justifications for dividing the Structure Plan Area into SPZs:
1. Detailed Area Plans need certain boundaries to separate one plan from the other and also to phase out Detailed Area Plan preparation.
2. Uniformity of existing land use has been taken as the basis for demarcation of area of SPZs.
3. Administrative boundaries (like, Ward and mouza) have been taken as SPZ boundaries. This is done to make planning and plan implementation easier from administrative point of view.
