Summary and Conclusion 198 Summary 201 Conclusion 205 Annexures 211 Preface Hitherto the normal technique for urban development has been for the developer- whether a municipality or private individual – to build on his land following a planning procedure. Land ownership, sometimes after purchases, has been on such a scale and of such a kind as to facilitate separate development, even where this has not been the best alternative. In the modern urban development, however, this has often been proved difficult to follow. Very often nowadays, the task is to transform and redevelop previously developed areas with the present level of technology and requirement of basic level of amenities. Or again, perhaps neither local authorities nor individual owners have the resource for developing the urban structure in step with population growth. This is a common problem not only in developing countries of the world but industrialized nations also. The economic decentralization policies initiated during the initial period of 90’s and the gradual integration of Indian economy with other developing countries of the world not only provide an opportunity for the reduction of poverty but also exclude some sections of the society. It is this section of society, which finds shelter in slums of the cities. For them it is very difficult to purchase land for residential purpose or are even not in a position to think the same. Government of India has initiated various measures to develop the weaker sections of the society. It has a check on the unwarranted rise in the land values in urban areas through its 20 point programme under Para 10 (C). The present report on Lucknow is sixth in series after Delhi, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Pune and Thiruvananthapuram. The report presents an introduction of the study, profile of the city, the rich urban heritage of the city, housing scenario, slums and trends and movements of residential, commercial, and industrial land values in the city of Lucknow. The final chapter is devoted to findings and conclusions. It is hoped that the report would be helpful to administrators, policy makers, researchers, academicians, trade and commerce and people at large. This report on the urban land price scenario of Lucknow is prepared by the Industrial and Economic Planning Division of the Town and Country Planning Organisation under the able guidance of Shri J. S. Negi, Industrial Planner and his fertile working team. (K.T.

  • 105 Chapter-5 L U C K N 0 W a Study in Resort Personality Physical
    105 Chapter-5 L U C K N 0 W A Study in Resort Personality Physical Setting : The cultural city of Lucknow - on - Gomati is a paramount urban agglomeration in the otherwise economically depressed rural Awadh. Lucknow »was founded on the mound, strategically located on the southern banks of the river Gomati. River frontages are not mere localizable attractions for city facades but they also have a secret hand in determining the morphological aspects of townships particularly in their early stages of development. It is situated at 26*^52' N Latitude and 80^ 56'E longitude. Presently, Lucknow dominates as the capital of Uttar Pradesh. This city, of about over one and half million people ranks among the ten big metropolis of India. Lie of the Land : Considering the notoriety of the Gomati for frequent rising in spates, the high mound-popularly known as the Lakshman Tila- was an ideal location for a human settlement, insuring safety and security against flood hazards. The rest of the land undulates very gradually, almost imperceptibly, towards the south and south east.
