INTRODUCTION
This report talks about the locations of urban projects by discussing what should be where and what should be its surrounding. By taking an example of a case of 4.5ha land owned by Punjab government in the center of an industrial town we can clearly understand the importance of selecting sites for the urban development projects. The site was vacant till 2008. In 2009 the local municipal corporation planned to develop the site as recreational area a (public park). In late 2009 one minister announced a new degree college of arts and science in the town. Later on the same site selected for the construction of the new college.

OBJECTIVES
This is how two proposals came up for the same land. The report firstly talks about the town and the importance of the site for the town. Then it discusses about the necessity of both the proposals for that town and about the merits and demerits of these proposals for the selected site by considering the various aspects of urban planning. The case is further supports by the case studies of two cities Chandigarh (planned by le Corbusier) and Amritsar (unplanned) by selecting one educational institute and one recreational area in each city.

CHAPTER 1 - INTRODUCTION OF TOWN

LOCATION In India, Jalalabad (w) is located in district Ferozrpur of Punjab state. It is situated 10 km apart from India Pakistan border. ROADWAY Well Road connection to the Ferozepur city (50km), Muktsar city (35km) and Fazilka town (33km). RAILWAY The town lies between the rail line between Ferozepur junction and Fazilka town. AIRWAY The nearest airport to the town is International Airport Amritsar.

HISTORY
In earlier 19th century the whole Punjab was ruled by Maharaja Ranjeet Singh. He captured Kasoor region of Punjab in 1801 by defeating Navab Nijam-ul-din. He gave Mamtdhot reasat (a small part of Kasoor region) to Navab Nijam-ul-din to survive. In Mamtdhot Reasat the the Royal Palaces were there in Mamtdhot city which was at one end of the Reasat. So there was difficulty in administration of whole Reasat from Mamthot city.

In 1863 Jalal-ul-din became Nawab of Mamtdhot Reasat. He selected a large part of land in the centre of the Reasat for his capital city (Jalal-abad) to run his administration easily. From 1874-1930 slow construction of Market, Residences, Govt.offices, Railway station were done.

ARCHITECTURE AND PLANNING

From 1930 onwards further development of Jalalabad(W) was done according to the Master Plan prepared by an English Architect from Lahore. He developed the open land present in between the royal palaces and other the residential areas. The planning was done in grid iron pattern consisting of two inter mediate commercial lanes, residential areas, large area for the market of agriculture products and other buildings. The reason for giving such a large area for the agriculture products is to attract the farmers to come to the capital area. It works very efficiently and a large market of agriculture products was developed.

The agriculture product market promoted the industrial development in Jalalabad(w). This industrial development started after the division of India in 1947. The industrial area mainly consisted rice milling industries. Initially these industries established in the main market lanes. This industrial development promoted residential and commercial development. Many other developments were there like educational (schools), public transport (bus stand), storage (FCI), vegetable market etc.

Jalalabad (w) develops as the town having total area 7.56sqkm and the total population is 38400. Today there is no planning or development pattern in Jalalabad (w). The town has into two parts Industrial area. Residential and commercial area.

SOCIAL STRUCTURE
Total population of Jalalabad (w) block is 303415. out of which urban population is 47275 (15.58%) and rural population is 256140 (84.42%). Total population of Jalalabad (w) town is 38400. Out of which 11% is HIG, 43% is MIG, 36% is LIG, 10% is EWS.

CHAPTER 2 TWO PROPOSALS

It is required to discuss that why there is two proposal for the project. The detail analysis of both the proposals gives the waightage of these proposals for the town.This chaper shows the need of both the proposals for that land.

NEED OF RECREATIONAL AREA (1ST PROPOSAL)

There is lack of recreational area in the town. There is only one park in the town situated southern side of the town. The land in the centre of the town can easily fullfill the lacking of such areas. So site of this case is very much appropriate for such kind of development.

NEED OF THE COLLEGE (2ND PROPOSAL)

There is only one private college in the town and the student strength is arround 500 to 600 in numbers. The fee structure of the institute is not affordable for the low income group. This condition of education facility makes many students to travel to nearby government colleges. The nearest college is situated in Fazilka city which is 33km away from the town. From Jalalabad (w) there are Nearly 300 students in government college of Fazilka. Above paragraph explains that there should be one government college in the Jalalabad (w) block. As Jalalabad town is an industrial centre and it is well connected to the surronding villages and settlements the site of the college should be very near to the town.

CHAPTER 3 - SITE ANALYSIS

HISTORY
From 1874 to 1930 the site belonged to the royal family of mamthot region. Later on police station came up at some part of western end of the site. Gurudwara Sahib and government school came up at the southern end of the site.

SITE SURROUNDINGS

CHAPER 4 - CASE STUDIES Chandigarh was planned by le corbusier as the new capital of punjab
state. There is the case study of Punjab university as an educational institute. As from the plan we can see that the University is there at the northern end of the city. The city expands in south west (mohali) and south east (panchkula) direction. There is no further expantion of city in northern direction. There are many other educational institutes arround it. Case study of rose garden is there as a recreational area. This garden is there near the commercial centre of the city. There is all planned development arround these case studies.

Amritsar is the political capital of punjab state.

There is the case study of khalsa college as an educational institute and maharaja ranjit singh garden as a recreational area. Khalsa college was established in 1902 and maharaja ranjit singh garden was established in 1818. There was no development arround these areas at the time of their establishment. But today there is dense development arround both areas. These developments are there according to the time and need. So the surrounding areas of these areas come up unplanned.
