Present Urban Planning of CoCCHistorical Changes in Land Use PlanningThe history of Comilla town goes back to the 9th and 10th centuries AD when the old fortified town, “Salban Vihars, Mainamati”, flourished as the center of Buddhist civilization. The 1764 peasant movement against the King of Tripura, which originally formed under the leadership of Shamsher Gazi, is a notable historic event in Comilla2. This district was established as Tripura District in 1790. On the 1st of October 1960, the name of the district was changed from Tippera to the more widely-used name, Comilla. The Chandpur and Brahmanbaria sub-divisions of this district were transformed into districts in 1984. Comilla City is the largest city of the Comilla zilla, in both population and area. Comilla has witnessed many important historic events. Communal tension spread in Comilla, when a Muslim was shot in the town during the partition of Bengal in 1905. On the 21st of November 1921, Kazi Nazrul Islam composed patriotic songs and tried to awaken residents by protesting the visit of the Prince of Wales to India. During this time, Ovoy Ashram, as a revolutionary institution, played a significant role. Comilla Cantonment is an important and the oldest military base in East Bengal. It was extensively used by the British Indian Army during World War II. There is a war cemetery in Comilla that was established after World War II in remembrance of Allied soldiers who died during World War I and II, mostly from the Commonwealth States and the United States. A number of epitaphs for Japanese soldiers are there as well3. Comilla PS was established in 1864. The Old Comilla Municipality, having a long heritage, was integrated and declared a CoCC on the 9th of February 20114. Existing Land Use in CoCCA land use map of CoCC has been provided with the help of the ADB’s Secondary Towns Infrastructure Development Project (STIDP). From the general assessment organized in 2003-04 and from other interim assessment information, different types of holding information were collected which are presented in Table 2-6. Table 2‑7: Types of Holdings
From the Land Use Survey, the total area of CoCC was estimated at 4,101.61 acres or 16.6 km2. Table 2-7 presents a summary of existing land uses by CoCC classification. The most dominant land use in the CoCC is residential, comprising 54.44% of the total land area. Figure 2-5 shows the distribution of land use and existing land use in CoCC. Existing land use types and distribution patterns were summarized through the master plan project (Sheltec 2013). This project classifies land uses into 16 categories and calculates the ratio of each category to the total land use area. Residential use occupies more than half of the CoCC, followed by agriculture (12%) and the circulation network (8%). Table 2‑8: Distribution of Land Use in CoCC
