520 _aCities of the developing world have become the centre of opportunities. The concentration of resources in the cities has led to a major socio-economic inequality between urban and rural life. It is necessary for city planners to find innovative, hybrid and cohesive policy planning approaches for the development of the urban system. Increasing resource constraints and natural calamities had promoted researchers in various fields to inculcate a sustainability approach in their field of research. Compact city policies predominantly focus on mixed-use, accessible, and highdensity urban development. It is one such approach to plan for the futuristic requirements of the city. The policies, which are required for the planning of various components of the sustainable compact city need to be understood. This paper takes into account the policy interventions made by various cities in the Maharashtra state. It provides an insight into the policy mechanisms followed in various cities for turning them as sustainable compact city. It will provide a way forward for the promotion of policies associated with sustainable compact city planning. – Reproduced
