The Vadodara Urban Development Authority is a civilian government body responsible for overseeing and sanctioning construction and infrastructure development across the suburbs of the city of Vadodara, in the state of Gujarat in India. The office of VUDA is at Karelibaug Near L&T Circle(parth), Vadodara. Recently the area of working of VUDA has been limited due to merger of 4 Gram Panchanyats of Vadodara district with the Vadodara Municipal Corporation.
VUDA’s main function is to prepare a macro plan i.e. a development plan for a horizon of 20 years for the Vadodara Urban agglomeration area. The area is demarcated based on functional criteria and thus accommodates areas of VMC as well as outgrowth covering municipalities and village panchayats. It mainly provides guided and planned development for the outgrowth of the city. For the area within the VMC jurisdiction, VUDA earmarks land for micro planning like town planning schemes (TP schemes). The TP schemes within the VMC area are prepared by the corporation and submitted to the Gujarat state government through VUDA.

Famous quotes containing the words urban, development and/or authority:
“The city is a fact in nature, like a cave, a run of mackerel or an ant-heap. But it is also a conscious work of art, and it holds within its communal framework many simpler and more personal forms of art. Mind takes form in the city; and in turn, urban forms condition mind.”
—Lewis Mumford (1895–1990)
“If you complain of people being shot down in the streets, of the absence of communication or social responsibility, of the rise of everyday violence which people have become accustomed to, and the dehumanization of feelings, then the ultimate development on an organized social level is the concentration camp.... The concentration camp is the final expression of human separateness and its ultimate consequence. It is organized abandonment.”
—Arthur Miller (b. 1915)
“In colonial America, the father was the primary parent. . . . Over the past two hundred years, each generation of fathers has had less authority than the last. . . . Masculinity ceased to be defined in terms of domestic involvement, skills at fathering and husbanding, but began to be defined in terms of making money. Men had to leave home to work. They stopped doing all the things they used to do.”
—Frank Pittman (20th century)
