These RFPs are unique in nature as for the first time Form Base Codes are prescribed by IRSDC for development at sub plot level. Form Based Codes ensures flexibility in ground coverage, promoting efficient use of land

while helping in achieving the concepts of eye-on the street, walkability, public connections, common areas etc. As per the vision of IRSDC, railway stations will develop as 24x7 City Centres named „Railopolis‟, which shall be pedestrian friendly and promote safe environment for women and children. The objective is to have high density development with more public green areas for value creation and quality of life. This initiative is in line with the guide book published by Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA) on „Form Based Codes‟ and „National

Transit Oriented Development‟ (TOD) policy. Basic principles of National TOD Policy have been translated into layout plan in the form of- • Layout plan as regulating plan adopting

National TOD Policy objectives and applicable development guidelines.

Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs has issued a Guidebook on Form based codes. As per the Guidebook, Form Based Codes (FBC) is a planning and zoning tool that is used for regulating development using physical form rather than land use segregation as the organizing principle for the code. It aims at contributing to better quality of life by fostering a high-quality public realm. FBC is a bottom-up development approach which aims to achieve economic, social and environmental sustainability while ensuring contextual planning that is functional and in accordance

with the development goals of the city. The keystone of FBC is community involvement in not only determining community needs and priorities but also in its development and implementation. Methodology/ Process for Form based Codes
