Land is most valuable resource for the development of urban area. Without land parcel growth cannot be accommodate. Currently Surat city expands horizontally and due to this there is limitation of city expansion in horizontal direction which creates an urban sprawl. Maximum land use is covered by residential land parcel, for that optimum use of urban land is required and this will be achieved by vertical development only. By applying concept of vertical development remaining portion of land use can be utilise for public purpose. It will directly improve health of community. Vertical development comprise high-density on an optimum land parcel. When development of any urban area takes place using lower floor space index (F.S.I.) causes horizontal expansion of city. For that higher F.S.I. can be used as an effective tool and provision of strong road network with appropriate carrying capacity also can reduce traffic congestion. Attempt has made to use optimal land to accommodate high density.
