Town Planning Schemes in Gujarat, India
Town Planning Schemes (TPS) are a mechanism by which cities in the Indian state of Gujarat expand urban infrastructure at the urban periphery. A form of land readjustment[1] [2], TPS allows local authorities to acquire a proportion of all the land parcels in a defined area on which to build public roads, parks, and other amenities. The authorities return remaining land to the original landowners in the form of reconstituted parcels, which have increased in value due to the improvements. The landowner pays half of this increase in land value to the government as a betterment charge, which helps the government covers its costs. As it appears to benefit both landowners and the government while also expanding urban infrastructure, proponents often claim that the TP scheme mechanism is a 'win-win' proposition.[3] [4]
