Delhi’s 2047 master plan proposes major shifts in housing density, transportation corridors and land use to accommodate a growing population and reduce congestion.
The Delhi Master Plan 2047, unveiled by the city’s planning authorities, outlines a comprehensive strategy to reshape the capital’s built environment over the next two decades. Key proposals include increasing residential density in peripheral zones, expanding public transport corridors, and reallocating land for mixed‑use developments. The plan aims to reduce traffic congestion by encouraging transit‑oriented growth and integrating cycling and pedestrian infrastructure. Urban planners expect the changes to support Delhi’s projected population growth while improving livability and sustainability.
