Today most of the Indian cities are growing rapidly on their fringes, while their existing urban areas remain underutilized and underserved. While the macro-level plans (DP's and master plans) provide an overall framework for the development, they cannot be successfully implemented without careful micro-level planning in both, greenfield and brownfield areas. Micro-level planning requires a detailed understanding of different layers including land, real estate, environment, transport, infrastructure, cost, and recovery, etc. The success of these plans depends on identifying the right type of development model and mechanisms using them in the right manner. The studio exercise focused upon learning various statutory and nonstatutory micro-level planning mechanisms such as TP's and LAP's but the focus area for this proposal is concerning LAP. Thus the approach towards LAP was to go beyond the conventional approaches to deliver plans that integrate multidisciplinary aspects to result in a high-quality environment.
