WHAT ARE BUILDING BY LAWS ?
– According to the definition, building bye laws are the norms set by the government
authorities such as Ministry of Urban Development Affairs (MUDA), City Corporation and
Developing Authorities.
– Or the set of rules and regulations that are governed and formed by local authorities or
central governing bodies.
– They are crucial to protect buildings against fire, earthquake and structural failures.
– The development authority does not approve a building plan which fails to adhere to the
bye laws.
DO BUILDING BY LAWS DIFFER
FROM CITY TO CITY?
– yes, these bye laws may differ from one property to other. For instance rules set for
construction of a commercial property may differ with the bye laws essential for the
development of a residential or an educational building.
– Also, building bye laws vary from one region to other. For example, a construction norm
applicable in a rural area may not be followed in urban areas.
PURPOSE OF BUILDING BY LAWS
– • Ensure uniform development of buildings in a society,

town and prevent haphazard development
– • Affirm public safety against noise, fire, health hazards
and structural failures
– • Ensure optimum utilization of space
– • Follow approaches which safeguard complete health,
safety and comfort of residents such as proper ventilation,
air, light and other essentials
ABOUT CHANDIGARH
– Chandigarh, the capital city of two states, Haryana and Punjab is
an Union Territory, but not a part of either state.
– It is a well planned city and is known for its urban design and
architecture. Chandigarh is also referred as “The City Beautiful” by
many, owning to its greenery and beautiful locations.
IDEA OF LE CORBUSIER
– The city of Chandigarh is planned to human scale.

–  Head– capitol (place of power)
–  Heart – the city centre.
–  Stomach– the commercial area.
–  Arms– university and Industrial zone.
–  Lungs– leisure valley ,open spaces.
–  Arteries– network of roads.
ROADS
– The roads of the city were classified into seven
categories, known as the system of 7 Vs.
–  V-1 Fast roads connecting Chandigarh to other

towns;
–  V-2 Arterial roads;
–  V-3 Fast vehicular roads;
–  V-4 Free Flowing shopping streets;
–  V-5 Sector circulation roads;
–  V-6 Access roads to houses;
–  V-7 Footpaths and cycle tracks
MASTER PLAN OF CHANDIGARH
EXISTING LANDUSE PLAN
– Landuse for the city of Chandigarh was defined by the Plan prepared by Le
Corbusier . Based on the CIAM (Congress International de Architecture Modern)
principles
– It focused on segregation of four major functions i.e.
– Living (the residential sectors),
– Working (the Capitol Complex, commercial /institutional buildings along Madhya
Marg, Jan Marg, City Centre ),
– Care of Body and Spirit (the Leisure Valley, open spaces and sector greens)
– Circulation (the network of roads, the 7Vs).
