"Metropolitan area" means an area having a population of ten lakhs or 
more, comprised in one or more districts and consisting of two  or more
Municipalities or Panchayats or other contiguous areas, specified by 
the Governor by public notification.
 How 74th CAA helps in Regional Planning:

Existing Scenario:

Number of agencies working with lack or no coordination

Beyond municipal boundaries but within planning area - Panchayats, are

UDA
unable to regulate the development.
M.C.
Villages beyond planning area – underlying infrastructre, degenerated –
undesired urbanization.

Consequences- Haphazard development , illegal colonization and poor

City A infrastructure etc.
UDA
No systematic efforts- No Master Plan- small & medium urban & rural
M.C. of a coordinating agency.
centres,- absence

City B
• Is there any government which takes care
of a Region?
• How would the perspective and other plans
be developed?
• Who is the ultimate responsibility? Will it be
the MPC or there shall be another govt
which shall be extended to the region?
• Would there be a cell in terms of planning
machinery attached to all 3 bodies?
