The Madhya Pradesh Town and Country Planning Act, 1973 provides a statutory framework for planned urban and rural development across the state. It empowers the state government to establish planning regions, appoint town planning authorities, and create specialized development agencies. The Act mandates surveying land use, formulating master regional and zonal development plans, and implementing specific town development schemes. It applies to landowners, developers, local authorities, and residents within designated planning areas, excluding certain defense, railway, and cantonment lands. By regulating land usage, preventing unauthorized construction, and providing structured urban growth, it ensures orderly infrastructure development, environmental conservation, and public amenity provisions.
