Spatial Planning and Water Policies: A Quest for Coherent City Planning for NCT Delhi

Abstract The world is undergoing significant changes in the social, economic, political, and environmental aspects of daily life. The challenges arising from these transformations are becoming unavoidable and extending beyond the reach of current solutions. A major concern is the heightened risk to urban communities due to the escalating natural resource crises. Of particular focus is the issue of water security, which garners substantial attention. Historical evidence indicates that there has been substantial discourse on water strategies within urban planning. Nonetheless, the incorporation of a framework for integrated water policies into a city's development plans is not an entirely novel concept, yet it remains largely unexplored within Indian cities. The formulation of water resource policies is now advancing, embracing the necessary steps for collaborative decision-making. Thus, the establishment of a legal framework at every level of city planning becomes pivotal for ensuring the sustainable advancement of urban settlements. With the aim of integrating water considerations into city planning, this research seeks to uncover the deficiencies and prospects within the existing master plans of Delhi, India's capital. The Master Plan for Delhi (MPD) holds responsibility for the comprehensive planning and development of the entire city. Guided by principles of water resource management, all three iterations of the MPD — 1962, 2001, and 2021 — undergo critical assessment and evaluation based on the ‘water security’ parameters. These predetermined criteria are adapted from the OECD principles of ‘policy coherence’ in water governance. The purpose of this evaluation is to identify gaps in policy coherence and explore the concept of integrating water policies across various levels of city planning. The thorough review offers insights into the tangible and intangible capabilities of the MPDs in executing existing water policies to achieve an inclusive approach to water in city planning. Currently, the concept of water-inclusive city planning necessitates special attention, especially as the Draft Master Plan for Delhi 2041 is under the process of notification.
