Big decision of Jharkhand High Court, now only the design of the town planner will be considered valid, not that of the engineers.

News India Live, Digital Desk: Establishing cities and developing them in a planned manner is a huge responsibility. In this, the role of experts who make design and plan is important. In this connection, Jharkhand High Court has given a very important decision, which can have a deep impact on urban development and real estate sector. The High Court has clearly said that now only the design prepared by the ‘Town Planner’ will be considered valid, not the design made by engineers. This decision can change the urban landscape of Jharkhand forever.

Why is the expertise of a town planner important?

In fact, in the process of urbanization, construction of buildings is not just about structural strength, but it is equally important to keep in mind the layout of the entire city, traffic management, green spaces, civic amenities and future development planning. An engineer primarily ensures the strength and safety of a structure, whereas a town planner focuses on the comprehensive planning and development of an entire city or large area.

This decision of Jharkhand High Court reflects this thinking. The Court believes that urban planning is the work of a specialist, which requires a special degree and experience in town planning. A person with just an engineering degree, without special understanding of town planning, cannot do justice to large and complex urban designs. Such designs can lead to unplanned development, chaos and many other problems in the future in the city.

Impact on real estate and urban development

After this decision, real estate developers and urban development departments in Jharkhand will have to change the way they plan and take design approval. Now they have to ensure that the master plan and layout of their project is prepared by a certified town planner only.

This decision will help the cities of Jharkhand to develop in a better and more planned manner in the future, thereby providing good quality lifestyle and basic facilities to the citizens there. It is expected that this decision will increase the importance of expertise in the process of urbanization and will prove to be an important step towards creating a clean, organized and livable city.
