LAND OCEAN ATMOSPHERE ENVIRONMENT SOCIETY SPACE Urban planning helps to formulate long and medium-term objectives for the sustainable urban growth. The primary step/ phase of urban planning is the preparation of present/ existing urban land-use maps. Urban growth being dynamic in nature, periodic updation of urban land-use is required for effective urban planning. Satellite remote sensing offers excellent opportunities not only for mapping, measuring, managing, monitoring the changes or developments caused by urbanisation but also helps the Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) to enforce regulatory control measures. · First-time National-level High- Resolution Satellite data utilisation for preparation of Large-scale (1:10,000) Urban Geospatial Database under the National Urban Infrastructure (NUIS) programme · Standards established for preparation of large-scale space-based geospatial database · Trained about 300 scientists from Partner Institutes (PIs) (State Remote Sensing Centres and other premier institutes) on large-scale mapping using high-resolution satellite data MAJOR HIGHLIGHTS · Geospatial database for 152 towns made available to Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) on Bhuvan platform formed the basic inputs for Master Plan preparation · Benefited State Urban Departments and Partner Institutes to adopt NUIS standards and execute many State-level urban mapping projects MAJOR BENEFITS www.isro.gov.in Indian Space Research Organisation URBAN PLANNING National Urban Information System (NUIS) Distribution & Classification of 152 towns · Hard copy maps & GIS database provided to the ULBs for preparation of Master Plans · GIS database for these 152 towns published on Bhuvan. · Developed open source Bhuvan-NUIS web application for preparation of Master Plans by the ULBs · Preparation of Urban Geospatial Database on 1:10,000 scale for 152 Towns (covering ~50,000 sq km) using high-resolution satellite data (Cartosat-1PAN+Resourcesat LISS-IV) · Urban Geospatial Database contains 12 thematic layers (Urban Land-Use, Transportation, Geology, Geomorphology, Physiography, Soil, etc.) and 4 administrative/ planning boundary layers Urban Land-Use: Part of Chandigarh City Single Building Group of Buildings Residential Area Industrial Area Mixed Built-up Area Recreational Area Public & Semipublic Area Communications Area Commercial Area Public Utilities & Facility Area Road Rail Drain Water body Water body- dry Crop land Land with/ without scrub Waterlogged Area Settlement Area Quarry/ Brick kilns Fused PAN sharpened 2.5m imagery Sample output SECTOR 34 SECTOR 35 SECTOR 22 SECTOR 21 Market Marriot Hotel Piccadily Chowk
