INTRODUCTION
Jaipur (जयपु�र), is the capital and largest city of the Indian state of Rajasthan. It was founded on 18 November 1727 by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II, the ruler of Amber, after whom the city has been named. The city today has a population of 3.1 million. Jaipur is also known as Pink City and Paris of India
Jaipur lies in the eastern part of Rajasthan. The east and west are separated by the Aravali divide.

Jaipur was founded in the year 1727 AD and it was confined within walls upto 1860, irrespective of population growth, since it had ample scope for further settlements.
The site selected for establishing the new capital of Jaipur was a valley located south of Amber and the plains beyond, a terrain that was the bed of a dried lake. There used to be dense forest cover to the north and the east of the city.

City planning of Jaipur (GRID IRON PATTERN)
Jaipur has a linear type of layout, wherein there is one main street and houses are arranged on either side. If population increases or more houses are required, streets parallel to the first street and more cross streets are added.

CONCEPTUAL PRASTARA PLAN
It is a model of town planning- the first planned city in India. It is based on Hindu systems of town planning and followed the principles prescribed in the Shilpa-shastra. According to this shastra the site should be divided into grids or mandalas ranging from 2x 2 to 10 x 10.
Planned according to the Prastara type of layout, which gives prominence to the cardinal directions.
Thus plan of jaipur is a grid of 3x3 with gridlines being the city’s main streets.
