A settlement hierarchy is a way of arranging settlements into a hierarchy based upon their population or some other criteria. The term is used by landscape historians and in the National Curriculum[1] for England. The term is also used in the planning system for the UK and for some other countries such as Ireland, India and Swaziland. The term was used without comment by the geographer Brian Roberts in 1972.[2] The greater the population in a settlement, the larger geographic area, the higher the status and the greater the availability of services. Position in a settlement hierarchy can also depend on the sphere of influence. This is how far people will travel to use the services in the settlement, if people travel further the town becomes more important and ranks higher in settlement hierarchy. Position in an accepted settlement hierarchy can imply status [4] which in turn reinforces the position of the settlement in the hierarchy. Status can derive from being the residence of a King or high-ranking member of the nobility or from being the location of a major religious establishment. A formal hierarchy of settlements, known as a multiple estate appears to have been common in 10th century England. [5] The centre of an estate (often called a "caput") could be ed by subsidiary settlements sometimes given specialised roles. For example, a Saxon royal estate might be ed by settlements specialising in production of cheese or barley or maintaining flocks of sheep. The settlement pattern in India is in a state of equilibrium and has remained so over a period of time. Equilibrium has different meanings in physics and chemistry. The Chambers Twenty-first Century Dictionary defines it “a state of balance”. It is from this angle, therefore, that the subject will be approached. A planned city for an environment of convenience should have a hierarchical cellular structure; with nuclei to contain essential facilities and services at different levels. The pattern of a community module is conceived as residential area containing a ‘neighbourhood’ with senior school and shopping facilities for day-to-day needs as focal points. The higher level of additional facilities is to be provided at Community, District and Zonal/sub-city levels. Such a structure could be maintained in the process of the preparation of plans on the basis of the standards set in the following table:-

The scope for development of urban extensions on a large scale is restricted due to limitations of buildable/ urbanisable land in Delhi. Therefore, the option of redevelopment and upgradation of developed urban land, through a process of reorganisation and utilisation of the land already developed, will have to be a major element of the overall city development plan. For efficient and optimum utilization of the existing urban land, both in planned and unplanned areas, a redevelopment strategy for accommodating more population in a planned manner is to be taken up on priority in all use zones. This would have to be based on provision of infrastructure viz.

water supply, sewerage, road network, open spaces and the essential social infrastructure. To encourage the growth impulse for regeneration in the target redevelopment areas, the possible incentives and modalities recommended include grant of planning permission at the scheme level with permission to reorganize/pool properties for planning purposes, provision of social infrastructure through Transferable Development Rights or Accommodation Reservation and reduced space standards for unplanned areas, enhanced FAR for specified redevelopment areas and application of flexible concept of mix-use zones in Special Area & Villages on scheme basis.
