Rules were violated corrupt officials, politicians and builders who have populated residential areas with commercial establishments. Certain section of Bengaluru is feeling that the new Revised Master Plan 2031 is not going to be implemented just like it was not in the past.
We all are aware of the fact that Bengaluru has achieved the unachievable as they have topped the list of the most dynamic cities in the world recently. To maintain Bengaluru’s incredible growth Bengaluru Development Authority (BDA) has rolled out a Master Plan 2031 for the next 14 years.
But certain section of the city is feeling that this plan is not going to be implemented just like it was not in the past. These are the people who want to contain the growth of the city for sustainability. Some people even fear that the new Revised Master Plan might fail as it did in the past as well.
Here are certain reasons why the Revised Master Plan 2015 of BDA failed:
## The first and the most important reason why the Revised Master Plan 2015 (RMP) failed were because the authorities failed to contain mixed development. Several rules have been violated by nexus of corrupt officials, politicians and builders who have populated residential areas with commercial establishments. This led to the rise of traffic congestions in these particular areas.
## The experts had criticised the RMP 2015 as it lacked clarity on strategy of functioning. The plan also did not give a clear picture of how the plan will be put to action year-wise and it also did not have a time table.
## Only 14% of additional road network has been implemented in the last 10 years, civic evangelist V Ravinchander pointed out. The existing road network does not have structure and a road hierarchy.
## Bengaluru clearly needs more public transport so that it can carry more commuters. BMTC needs to take a rigorous note of this and accordingly increase the trips within the city.
## Freight corridors are needed for logistics hubs and warehouses.
## The rail and the bus hubs have remained unorganised.
If the BDA authorities do not take a clear note of all these issues then it is highly likely that the new Revised Master Plan 2031 will also fail.
