Enhancing regional connection was prioritised, with a focus on making sure that Mathura and Vrindavan have effective transport networks and are well-connected to their surrounding communities. To make the environment more readable and accessible for both locals and tourists, the urban transportation layer was given special attention.
Moreover, the proposed land use planning was a central topic, addressing how the land in these cities will be allocated for various purposes such as residential, commercial, industrial, recreational, and green spaces. Balancing these allocations to meet the needs of the growing population while preserving the cultural and environmental heritage of Mathura and Vrindavan was a key concern.
During the meeting, there was a recognition of the need for a comprehensive guideline document. This document would serve as a reference for the technical monitoring and evaluation of master plans, focusing on both quantitative and qualitative aspects. It was suggested that such a guideline would be particularly beneficial for Tier-II and Tier-III cities in Uttar Pradesh, providing a structured framework for evaluating and ensuring the effectiveness and sustainability of future urban development plans.
