Urban Development Authority (India)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Urban Development Authorities are statutory civic bodies created for the development of planned infrastructure and housing projects in cities of India. The foundation for current Indian Urban Development Authorities is based on the structure designed during the British colonial era as a result of the Bombay plague in 1896. An Urban Development Authority for each town is created per the 74th amendment to the Constitution of India. The authority consists of planners and bureaucrats who are specialised in civic planning. The officials of the authority work with state governments in town planning activities.
