SEVEN PRINCIPLES:

GREEN BELT:
The stated objectives of green belt policy are to:
Protect natural environments.

Improve air quality within urban areas.

Ensure that urban people have access to countryside,

with consequent educational and recreational

opportunities; and
The green belt has many benefits for people:

Walking, camping, and biking areas close to the cities

and towns.
Cleaner air and water

Better land use of areas within the bordering cities.

EXAMPLES OF GREEN BELT
HOUSING AND PUBLIC BUILDINGS
Extreme care should be taken to provide housing
accommodation to various categories of people.
It should be kept in mind that there is no
development of slums and further slums are
existing.
The building departments have to adhere to by
some rights and privileges related to fire
protection; freedom from interference; health and
safety of buildings and all aesthetic
considerations. This department should also
consider the neighborly relations of two
residences and tenant and house-owner relations
while developing a site.
ROAD SYSTEM AND TRANSPORT
The role of a reliable and affordable road system in the socio-
economic development of town cannot be underestimated.

Road transportation forms an important part of the social safety

net, facilitating the distribution of wealth through trade and
employment opportunities in both urban and rural communities.

Road transportation facilitates the movement of people, goods

and services in all sectors of the economy, including tourism,
mining, trade, health, education and agriculture, among others.

It is estimated that road transportation carries approximately

ninety-eight per cent (98%) of the passengers and traffic in the
country, with available information indicating that the national
targets for growth and poverty reduction rely heavily on the
effectiveness of the roads and, in some cases, the inability to
access jobs and services are as a result of poor road
RECREATIONAL CENTRES
All people should have equalaccess to recreational
areas, activities, services, and facilities regardless
of personal interest, age, gender, income, cultural
background, housing environment,or handicap.

Public recreation should incorporate public

services such as education, health and fitness,
transportation and leisure.

The parks and recreation system and natural

environment also are an attraction for
visitors,which contribute to local tourism and
economic development.

which will be acceptable on particularlots(such as open
space, residential, agricultural, commercial and industrial.
