The current advancement in technology of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV)/ drones has potential use in various sides of urban life, including in the Town planning sector. Compared with other alternatives for surveying, Drones could potentially provide a more proficient and cost-effective, adaptable, and exact information gathering instrument for planners. Presently, however, government regulations on the use of Drones in India, especially in town planning sector, are not precisely defined with a general focus on safety rather than stimulating technology towards a more efficient system. Town planners and surveyors need flexible, realistic; drone regulations that will deal with the complex issues related to the urban use of UAVs, to take the maximum possible public benefit from the use of this technology in Town planning. In this report current use of UAVs in different Urban Planning sectors are discussed.
