In 1980, with the assistance of Overseas Development Agency (ODA)
of U.K., the Structure Plan for Chennai Metropolitan Area was
prepared through the Consultants. The Structure Plan
recommendations were accepted in principle by Government and
conveyed to all agencies. During this period work on formulation
of Detailed Development Plans were either slowed down or given
up in the middle, and no effective steps were initiated to
implement the strategies evolved in Structure Plan either
contrary to the expectations of the peripheral areas of the city
and the phenomenal growth outside the city resulting in the
uncontrolled and haphazard growth. |
