PANCHKULA: Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda inaugurated the 59th National Town and Country Planners Congress at the Inderdhanush auditorium in Sector 5 on Thursday.Addressing the gathering, he said land being an important resource, which needed to be judiciously utilised, the state government had decided to increase the town density for optimum utilisation of this scarce resource. He said there could not be any urban development without the primary resource of land.
He said the Kundli-Manesar-Palwal global corridor would free Delhi from all kinds of traffic that was neither originating nor terminating in Delhi.
Papers were presented on ‘Land as Resource for Urban Development’, and ‘Sustainable Development of Urban Land’ on the occasion.
Dr Najammuuddin, Secretary General, Institute of Town Planners, India, said: “It is a well known fact that land is critical to urban planning and development... It is a finite resource and has a limited supply. There are several activities such as those pertaining to agriculture, industries, housing, commercial centres, infrastructure provision and others, which are competing for land for their location.”
