Preparing City Development Plan
2.1. Background
A CDP is both a perspective and a vision for the future development of a city. It presents
the current stage of the city’s development. The CDP aims to set out the direction of
change for the future development of Meerut based on a thorough assessment of current
stage of the city development and interaction with different stake holders namely
government agencies, parastatal agencies, NGOs, Residential Welfare Associations and
participation of different weaker sections of the communities. This further provides a
logical and consistent frame work to identify thrust areas, selecting best strategies,
interventions, action plans and investment decisions to attain the envisaged vision for the
city.
