The first real effort in order to ensure planned development in Assam started in the year 1955 and subsequently the state enacted its own Town & Country Planning Act in 1959 for preparation of Master Plan/Development Plan etc.
The prime function of this Directorate is to prepare Master Plan for the Urban Areas under The Assam Town & Country Planning Act 1959 (as amended). Master Plan is a statutory plan document, prepared for stream-lining the land use within the delineated planning area. It is a long term plan that provides a conceptual layout for the future urban growth and development. The validity of a Master Plan is for a specific period and after expiry of the period it needs revision and modifications. During 11th Five Year Plan it was proposed to prepare Master Plan for priority towns and growth centers covering about 33 Urban Centers. Presently this Directorate has prepared Master Plans ( Final and Draft ) covering all Notified Towns in Assam.

Implementation of Master Plan : In accordance with provision of Assam Town & Country Planning Act 1959 (as amended) Development Authorities are constituted by the Govt. So far State Govt. has constituted 24 Development Authorities for implementation of Master Plan proposals and organized development in the Master Plan areas. After amendment of Municipal Act, the area for implementation of Master Plan by Development Authorities has been drastically reduced as the Master Plan have been implemented by the concerned Urban Local Bodies in their respective areas.
