Master plans fail in two ways: they are not implemented, or they are not understood. The second failure is cheaper to fix, and this week offers a template. Delhi's 2047 plan runs to statutory language and land-use schedules; the Delhi 2047 Decoded portal (Page 1) turns it into maps and plain sentences a resident can interrogate. Disclosure compels candour: that portal is this newspaper's publisher's work. The principle stands regardless of who built it - a plan that 32 million people cannot read is not yet a public document, and every planning authority should treat translation as part of notification, not a courtesy that follows it.
