SATELLITE TOWN CONCEPTS
INTRODUCTION
What Are Satellite Townships?A satellite town or satellite city is a concept in urban planning that refers essentially to smaller metropolitan areas which are located somewhat near to, but are mostly independent of, larger metropolitan areas.
City Development Plan for Satellite Town
SCATTERED SATELLITES
Development of Satellite Townships
Town or a city reach a certain limit of congestion and exhaustionLand Shortage , Inadequate Transportation.
Charecteristicspredate the metropolis' suburban expansion
At least partially independent from that metropolis economically and socially
Physically separated from the metropolis by rural territory or by a major geographic barrier such as a large river; satellite cities should have their own independent urbanized area, or equivalent
Have their own bedroom communities
Have a traditional downtown surrounded by traditional "inner city" neighborhoods
May or may not be counted as part of the large metropolis' Combined Statistical Area
Need For Satellite Town
Severe uncontrolled growth of urban population
Problem in managing already over strained cities
increase in the demand for infrastructure facilities and amenities
land shortage, housing shortfall, inadequate transportation
Need For Satellite Town
Challenges in management of essential infrastructure like
water supply
Sewerage
Drainage
solid waste disposal
Need For Satellite TownTremendous strain on the delivery of
services in major cities due to the concentration of economic activities and population
Need for decentralization of activities so as to reduce the burden on these cities.
FEATURES
Satellite townships have their own local government and corporate life.
They have all the necessary amenities and facilities present within their limits except for a few purposes like employment and sometimes education, they have to depend on the main city i.e. the parent city.
Transportation means such as buses, trains etc all connect the various satellite townships to the main city so that travelling to the main city for work is not an issue. It is free to decide its economic, social and cultural activities.
Satellite townships generally develop beyond the green belt of the city.
FEATURES
setting up of industries is prohibited in Satellite townships. It is mainly a residential area having only local shops, schools for children, etc.
Zoning regulations are not an issue in the development of satellite townships.
These townships never become a rival to their parent city because their size and development is restricted and controlled.
satellite townships are considered as a part of the market for some goods and services that are produced in the parent city (some times)

OBJECTIVES
To develop urban infrastructure facilities such as
DRAINAGE AND SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT
TRANSPORTATIONSEWERAGE
OBJECTIVES
To adopt innovative public – private partnerships models for development of satellite towns.
Earmarking 10-15% of housing sites for the urban poor i.e,Economically Weaker Sections (EWS) / Low Income Group (LIG)
c. Reform of property tax with Geographical Information System (GIS) and arrangements for its effective implementation so as to raise collection efficiency to 85 per cent.
d. Levy of reasonable user charges, with the objective that full cost of operation and maintenance is collected within some years.
Objectivese. Internal earmarking of budgets for basic services to the urban poor
f. Earmarking of housing sites for the urban poor
g. Formulating bye laws which shall incorporate provisions for disaster management, rainwater harvesting, reuse and recycle of waste water, barrier free environment and structural safety and shall also be in strict compliance with the National Building code
Objectivesh. Implementation of Public Disclosure Law
i. Implementation of Community Participation Law
Process
City Development Plan for Satellite Town
Preparation of City Region Plan
Integration of Planning Process between the Mother City and Satellite Towns.
Appraisal of City Development Plan
Detailed Project Report
Appraisal of Detailed Projects Reports
Sanction and monitoring of Projects under the Scheme
Monitoring and Evaluation
City Development Plan for Satellite Town
A City Development Plan (CDP) shall be prepared for the satellite town by the ULB or some other agency designated for the purpose
Planning on concept of continuity, compactness and self –containment
Each part of the township while being self-sufficient in itself should form an integral part of the town as a whole having clear functional linkages with the mother city and other urban centers
The planning of satellite town may adopt different kind of development i.e. low-rise and low-density development/high rise medium density or high-rise and high-density development depending on the local and felt demand.
City Development Plan for Satellite TownThe planning of the town shall address environmental
sustainability issues, green buildings and disaster mitigation aspects
Incremental approach in providing for infrastructure / facilities
have rational and judicious use of scarce resources both in the form ofland and fiscal resources.
Preparation of City Region PlanThe concerned ULB should prepare a City Region Plan, which should contain:
Delineation of area based on physical and socio-economic linkages
Settlement structure
Land use and network
Environmentally sensitive zones.
Heritage precincts
Addressing prominent concerns of major sectors of the economy,
Integration of Planning Process between the Mother City and Satellite Towns.
The planning process of the Mother town and the Satellite townshipsshall be integrated through inclusion of suitable representation of the Satellite Township in the Metropolitan Planning Committee of the Mother Town.
Outcomes Of Satellite Township Development
a. Amelioration of population pressure on metropolitan towns.
b. Improved financial management in urban local bodies.
c. Improvement in basic infrastructure and service delivery related to water supply, sanitation and solid waste management.
d. Improved urban planning
