What is a Town Planning Scheme (TPS)?
Unlike chaotic urban growth, a TPS ensures planned development:
❌ Without TPS
- Narrow 6-9m roads
- No sewage/drainage planning
- Random zoning
- Land title disputes
- No reserved amenity plots
✅ With TPS
- 18-45m wide DP roads
- Underground utilities planned
- Clear residential/commercial zones
- Clear titles for all plots
- Schools, hospitals, parks reserved
