• Bhubaneswar-Cuttack Urban Complex being the hub of commercial, political, administrative and socio-cultural activities of Orissa has a rich potential for development.

• Recording a relatively high urban growth, this urban complex plays an important role in bringing economic as well as social development for the state and the region.

• During past decades, Bhubaneswar Cuttack region served as the nerve centre of ideas, actions, governance, business, industry, education, health, sports and culture. It is also an important centre of tourism embracing cultural heritage relating to three important religions (Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism) and spreads the message of secularism for the rest of the world.

• Endowed with natural setting, this region is also linked with rich Bio-diversity of the state as well as the Nation.

• The per capita state domestic product in 1998-99 was Rs.5,264 compared to the national average of Rs. 9,647 (at 1993-94 prices).

With such background and potentialities for development, this region stands at a major crossroad. The Perspective Plan Vision document and CDP will thus be an attempt to analyse such vital issues and frame realistic guidelines and action plans for achieving a balanced and planned development.
