system, housing, social infrastructure and quality of
environment, which are at par with the National
Capital

HIERARCHY OF SETTLEMENTS
six-tier settlement system i.e., Metro Centre, Regional Centres, Sub regional Centres, Service Centres, Central Village and Basic
Villages
Metro Centre
powerful growth nodes to attract capital functions and activities and help in population dispersal from the national Capital. high level of
physical, social and economic infrastructure better than that in the Capital is required to be developed in these towns/complexes. This
would include efficient intra-urban mass transportation system as well as strong transport and communication linkages with Delhi, other
Metro centres and NCR towns.
Regional Centre
second tier settlement, well-established urban centre in the region, marked by highly specialized secondary and tertiary sector activities
and providing job opportunities, which normally cannot be performed by other lower order centres. These centres will be developed for
advanced industrial and other economic activities and will have concentration of administrative and higher order service functions, which
are expected to exert an increasingly dynamic influence on attraction of investment and creation of conducive living and working
environment.
Sub-Regional Centre
medium sized towns or intermediate city performing a variety of roles, particularly in promoting and supporting a more balanced
distribution of urban population and in providing functional linkages between the smaller towns and Regional/Metro Centres
Service Centre
small town or a large village having linkages with immediate rural hinterlands
Central Village
higher order village having central location and potential for development within its catchment area, with relatively better services and
facilities in terms of education, health, communication, accessibility and has the capacity to serve a group of Basic Villages
Basic Village
population of less than 5,000 have been classified as Basic Villages and would be provided with basic facilities like link roads, water
supply and electricity, paved streets and low-cost common sanitary facilities as well as the minimum required social infrastructure as per
planning norms.

annually about 35.88 million passengers and 0.56 million tonnes of cargo traffic (2011-12).
Traffic and Travel Pattern
NCR is a high movement area with high intensity traffic of all types.
2,21,575 vehicles (3,50,694 PCUs) enter and exit NCR (Outer Cordon) on an average per day (2007).
In NCR, National Highways account for 75% (vehicles) of the total traffic volume. The traffic volume increased to 2,72,891
vehicles (3,87,565 PCUs) at the Middle Cordon (CNCR boundary); and reached a high of 12,10,896 vehicles (12,27,873 PCUs)
at Inner Cordon (NCT-Delhi boundary).
At the Outer Cordon (NCR boundary), out of 94,659 passenger modes nearly 97% of passenger modes movement was InternalExternal and External-Internal and only 3% was External-External.
The interspatial movement pattern of passenger modes showed a high share between Rest of NCR and Outside NCR areas.
Out of 63,352 goods modes at Outer Cordon, 9% were non-destined. At the Middle Cordon (CNCR boundary), out of 1,56,838
passenger modes, Internal-External and External-Internal passenger mode movement accounted for 69%. The share of through
movement was 4%. A high intensity of interaction between CNCR and outside areas was observed. Internal-Internal passenger
movement was 27% within CNCR. Out of 67,859 goods modes, 7% were non-destined. At the Inner Cordon (NCT-Delhi
boundary), out of 11,07,043 passenger modes, the non-destined traffic was as high as 23%. About 37% passenger modes exit
Delhi and 38.4% passenger modes enter in to Delhi in a day. Out of 1,03,853 goods modes crossing at Inner Cordon, 30% were
non-destined, which is very high. This shows the need of bypass to Delhi.
