Abstract
The concept of spatial planning deals with the integration of various physical, social and economic functions over space. Such integration is achieved by planned action over time and brings about balanced regional development. The basic objective of such spatial planning is to distribute the benefits of development among the maximum number of people and to minimise the regional disparities in levels of development.
