JAMSHEDPUR
CITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN
1. RATIONALE FOR SELECTING THE CITY:
Jamshedpur is one of the oldest and the largest existing Company towns in the world,
also known as the steel city of India. It is the benchmark development for post
independent Indian industrial cities such as Bhilai, Rourkela and Durgapur, which were
established in completely rural areas. It is considered to be a remarkable success story
in the face of the decline of company towns elsewhere in the world. Its establishment
predated the great experiments—New Delhi, Islamabad and Chandigarh—of the
twentieth century in city planning in the Indian subcontinent.

2. CLASS OF THE TOWN: The Jamshedpur Block was established in the 1952 and
constitutes of rural & urban areas having one Municipality and two Notified Area
Committees namely Jugsalai Municipality, Jamshedpur Notified Area Committee and
Mango Notified Area Committee. The major urban local bodies are :
 Jamshedpur Industrial Town
 Jamshedpur Notified Area Committee (JNAC)
 Mango Notified Area Committee (MNAC)
 Adityapur Municipal Council
 Jugsalai Nagar Parishad

3. DEVELOPED BY:
The formulation of the City Development Plan (CDP) for Jamshedpur has been initiated
by the Government of Jharkhand under the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal
Mission (JNNURM).

4. TYPE OF PLAN:
Jamshedpur has City Development plan. The formulation of the City Development Plan
(CDP) for Jamshedpur has been initiated by the Government of Jharkhand under the
Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM).

5. STAGES OF DEVELOPMENT OF CITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN:

CDP is prepared as a multi-stage exercise, with the following steps:

Step – 1: In-depth analysis of the existing situation, covering the demographic profile,
economic profile, urban governance, urban infrastructure, and environmental aspects:
This stage reviews and analyses the current status of the city with regard to the state of
its development, systems, procedures, and its institutional and financial context. It
identifies the strengths and weaknesses in the city’s development and provides an
understanding of what impedes service delivery and management within the existing
 set-up and what contributes to better service provision. This stage offers an opportunity
to bring out the unique features of the city that distinguishes it from other cities.

Step – 2: Development of a perspective and a vision of the city:

Using the results of the first stage of analyses combined with consultations with key
administrative authorities and stakeholders and the civil society, this stage is meant to
develop a vision for the future development of the city. It is a collective vision of the
future direction expressed in terms of expectations and specific goals.

Step – 3: Formulating a strategy for bridging the gap between existing condition of the
city and the vision for the future of the city:
It is in this stage that strategies and interventions are identified for attaining the vision
and future development perspectives. This stage is used to first identify the options and
strategies and second, to evaluate the strategies from the perspective of their
contribution to the goals and objectives of JNNURM. The chosen strategies are
translated into programmes and projects in this stage. This is the phase where the city
needs to decide which programmes would contribute most to the vision and medium–
term perspectives. It is at this stage where the criteria are selected, with appropriate
consultative processes, for prioritizing the strategies, programmes and projects.

Step – 4: Preparing a City Investment Plan (CIP) and a financing strategy:

The last phase of the CDP preparation process involve assessment of detailed project
costs and determination of funding sources. Types and sources of financing were
identified for priority projects and reforms; the sources included internal resources,
state and central government, local financial institutions, donors, and public-private
partnerships.
An investment plan and a financing strategy are an integral part of the CDP. It is an
aggregate investment plan indicating, for example, the cost involved in providing 24x7
water supply from the present level of 10x7 supply. It is not the cost estimate of a
project for increasing the capacity of a water treatment plant from 1,00,000 MLD to
1,50,000 MLD.

6. SATELLITE TOWNS AND OUTGROWTHS:

The area covered under Jamshedpur CDP includes three Notified Area Committees
(Jamshedpur Notified Area, Adityapur Notified Area, Mango Notified Area), one
Municipality (Jugsalai Municipality) and eight other fringe towns / urban outgrowths
which includes the areas of Parsudih, Kitadih, Gadra, Ghorabandha, Chotagovindpur,
Sarjamdahh, Bagbera and Haldubani. All these areas together form the Jamshedpur
Urban Agglomeration, for which the CDP has to be formulated
7. TYPES OF GUILDELINES FOLLOWED:
The features of the CDPS that are prepared under the guidelines of JNNURM are:

together with land-use patterns and regulation of the same
• The plans derive the vision, objectives and targets from socio-economic and basic civic
needs as articulated by their citizens, their representatives and other stakeholders from
civil society
• CDP establishes a logical and consistent framework for evaluation of investment
decisions.
• It is anchored on the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM)
goal of creating economically productive, efficient, equitable and responsive cities.

social infrastructure, strategies that deal specifically with issues affecting the urban
poor, strengthening of municipal governments, their financial accounting, budgeting
systems and procedures, creation of structures for bringing in accountability and
transparency, and elimination of legal and other bottlenecks that have stifled the land
and housing markets.

investment into city-based infrastructure.
