The Gujarat

Land Pooling Scheme

A tool for aiming

Planned, Fair and Equitable

Urban Development

1

Development Process in Gujarat

Development Plan

• New growth areas

• Zoning

• Development density and development control regulations

• City level road network

• City level infrastructure

T.P. Schemes

• Neighborhood level road network

• Land reconstitution

• Neighborhood level social and physical infrastructure

• Financing of neighborhood level infrastructure

• Construction of

city level

infrastructure

• Construction of private buildings as per GDCR on private plots

• Construction of neighborhood level infrastructure

• Reconstitution of land holdings

• Appropriation of land for public uses

ULBs manage delivery of serviced

land through a 2 tier process as

defined in the Gujarat Town

Planning and Urban Development

Act,1976.

First a decadal macro level

“Development Plan” for the

entire city is prepared.

Second a large number of micro

level “Town Planning Schemes”

covering approx. 100 ha area each

are prepared – for areas

delineated for new development.

1. Land Consolidation / Pooling

• Concept………..

• promote efficient, sustainable & equitable land development

• achieve planned & sustainable growth through Co-operative

public participation

• Consolidation For………..

• Development of greenfield & brownfield areas

• Redevelopment / Revitalization of down towns

• Consolidation of land for Infrastructure (addition & improvement)

Land Consolidation

Consolidation through Land Pooling …………

• Method to………..

• transform irregularly shaped cadastral parcels to appropriate

plots to be used in more economical manner

• efficient, sustainable & equitable land development through

Co-operative public participation

What is Land Pooling?

Legal base, Transparency, Participation, Institutional frame & Technology

Contribution

Redistribution

BEFORE AFTER

• Process………..

• Land parcels within an area are pooled together

• percentage of each land parcel calculated to determine a

contribution to public areas & roads

• percentage depends on objective of the development, size of the

subject area & required public-uses

• Public & Personal Hearing under statute of Law

What is Land Pooling?

2. Land Pooling Global & Indian Experience

Land Pooling – Other Countries

Country Japan South Korea Taiwan Australia

Purpose •War damage area

•Rehabilitation

•Earthquake

•Fire disaster area

•urban expansion

•First implemented

in the 1870’s in

Kobe

•1930- for rural area

•1936- for urban LP first

project in Seoul, 60%

urban expansion

•35% of the urban

expansion by LP of S.

Korea (1990)

•Industrial Dev.

•Squatter settlement

•High density

•Poor Housing

condition

•Authorized by Town

planning &

Development Act

1928

•Small metropolis of

1Mn person in

western Australia

Institution •Local Govt.

•Land owners

association

•Local Govt.

•Land owner

•Ministry of construction

•3 national govt. dev.

Corporations

•1930- Authorized by

land law &

administered by central

& provincial govt.

•1960- city Govt.

carried out projects

•Main infra. network

by State govt.

•Local infra network

by land subdivides

Strategy •70% of the urban

LP is carried out by

local Govt. & land

owners associations

•300 LP projects

covers maximum

built up area in past

95 years.

Very less financial support

from National Govt., so

land owners share was

calculated on the basis of

market price

Avg. 5% land sold for

the cost of infra. &

other project cost.

30% Govt. land taken

for roads & other

purpose plots

Land owners share

based on the

market value

Land Pooling – India (other forms)

• Haryana : The developer as a colonizer permitted for pooling of land

of farmers and is supposed to develop as per norms. The authority is a

facilitator

• Ghaziabad : Equity Sharing between the development authority and

the private developer

• Rajasthan:

• Land acquisition through Consent for industry & infrastructure

(land for railways, highways, ports, power and irrigation)

• Compensation at par with Land Acquisition

3. What is the Gujarat Land Pooling i.e. TPS

Mechanism?

Land Pooling – Gujarat (Land Pooling Law)

• Land pooling regime ………..

• 1915 : applied to Salsette island – Bombay

• 1925 : First Town Pooling Scheme of Jamalpur in Gujarat

• 1954 : Amended Bombay Town Planning Legislation

• 1976 : New Act in Gujarat (GTPUD)Act, having more provisions

• 1995, 1999 & 2001 : Amendments in GTPUD Act

• Gujarat experience ……….

• pooling regime almost 100 years

• proved to be a sovereign tool , backed by special law &

following principles of Cooperative participation

Town Planning Schemes in Gujarat

• A form of land readjustment

• A means of expanding urban

infrastructure without compulsory

land acquisition

• Promoted as equitable,

participatory and cost-effective

TPS the present format :

• Areas designated for urban expansion in the city’s

development plan

• Divided into TP schemes of ~100-1200 hectares

covering ~100-2000 parcels

• Government pools the land, uses 25-50% for

roads, open space, other public purposes,

including 5-10% for sale.

• The remaining 50-75% is returned to original

owners, whose land value has increased

• Urban land use is now allowed on these parcels

• Landowner consultation at various stages,

regarding their individual parcels

• Land Value Capture – Incremental Contribution Consultation with landowners

Town Planning Schemes• First TPS Declared in 1920

with 270 Ha.

• TPS in 2012 are of 1200 Ha

in urban areas to 8000 Ha in

SIR

• Significant Rise in TPS after

1985

• Timely amendment of the

ACT has facilitated more

TPS

• 1126 TPS are in process and

about 600 more TPS to be
