Abstract

In regional spatial panning, configuration of space is an important basic task. Theoretically a megacity region comprises the regional core and its periphery further divided into regional spatial units. This chapter presents a megacity region spatial model which provides a tool for configuration of a megacity region into a hierarchy of regional spatial units like sub-regions, micro-regions and clusters of villages. It also indicates the functional hierarchy of settlements and polarisation of a variety and order of socio-economic, administrative and political activities. For better governance and effective implementation of megacity regional plan, this spatial model has incorporated the governance and planning system provided by the Indian Constitution (73rd & 74th Amendment) Acts 1992. Megacity region spatial model can serve as a descriptive, prescriptive and also normative tool as demonstrated through case study of Delhi-NCR. The model is flexible and can be applied to a variety of situations like coastal megacity region, urban corridor, and any sub-component of a megacity region like cluster of villages, micro-region (blocks), or sub-region (districts). This model is applicable to other countries also with/without modifications.
