Abstract
GIS based master plan is one of the sub - plans under AMRUT Mission. Master Plan is the main method for urban land management, which reflects detailed land use allocation for the sustainable development of the city. The use of GIS helps in bringing accuracy in master planning as the base map is prepared from very highresolution satellite (VHRS) images. Master planning provides the framework that helps in the systematic development of a city. The scheme provides adequate infrastructure to meet future demand. It also provides a well-planned financial structure for urban areas which helps for effective administration in the urban development sector. It also helps in resolving the issues faced by the public as well as the administration of the development authorities. Gorakhpur is a city of Uttar Pradesh which requires master planning for proper development of the city. The city has so far had two master plans, which were prepared for the time period 1971-2001 and 2001-2021. Since the period of the city master plan is about to end, the city needs a new master plan. The present paper tries to focus on regional planning and infrastructure development of Gorakhpur city. Key-words: Regional Planning; Master plan; Policy formulation.
