Urban Planning of Coimbatore

Q: Whatever happened to the Coimbatore Corporation Master Plan that was supposed to take place in 2011? What sort of proposed developmental changes is it said to bring to the city? Where all is this project said to take place apart from Ganapthy?

Finally! About time! Also they've chosen specific key places for improvement like Ganapathy, Kalapatti, Kavundampalayam, Kumarapalayam, Sanganur, Singanallur,Telungupalayam and Vilankurichi These localities were picked because they are places with high potential that has scope for improvement through all these major developmental changes. Also it is the sensible thing to do because the all trains are passing through these locations and hence metro projects and all should happen at they key points.But we shouldn't be too optimistic also. Let's see how this 'Master Plan' goes..

There are other plans also apart from just improving the traffic aspect. They plan to really improve the IT sector in Coimbatore. Corridors having many IT companies need to be provided with good facilities and connectivity to other parts of the road. That's one thing they're working on. Then you know that Coimbatore has some of the worst entertainment centres in all of Tamil Nadu despite Coimbatore being the 2nd revenue contributor in the state. So there are plans to improve the recreational facilities in the area also.

Hey there are going to many changes in Coimbatore because of this project :) The authorities are looking to better the traffic congestion in the city especially. They are planning on constructing cycle paths and footpaths. Also many road widening projects, replacement of old drainage system and all is also being carried out. There might also be the metro works starting soon. This plan was supposed to be executed in 1992 but it still hasn't been completed to this day because there was always some problem or the other. Hopefully now it should be ready soon. Coimbatore is badly in need of improving its civic facilities.

I don't think Coimbatore is going to delay any further in taking this plan forward. In February of this year, there was a 2 to 3 month delay on starting this project because assessing land use patterns for the city still had not been carried out. Both the rurual and urban parts of Coimbatore had to be covered to check the potential land use patterns. 3000 residents have also written to the corporation and have given their modifications and suggestions as how best to use the land. Taking all of this into account, ended up taking more time than expected. This long process was completed sometime around the end of March and I think the project work has already started and should be completed by the end of the year.

Hello hello :) So the Housing and Urban Development Housing of Tamil Nady Government is undertaking the project to prepare Coimbatore's master plan. This is a very good thing for Coimbatore that all the residents have been anxiously waiting for. the city is going to see many infrastructural changes, if all goes according to plan. They are looking to improve the public transport system and I think there are also plans of including the metro rail, mono rail and bus rapid transit system (BRTS) in Coimbatore. If this plan fully happens, that is very good for us.
