Hi Guys,
As per the current news, Union Urban Development minister M Venkaiah Naidu said that the Smart City project is a laborious as well as challenging work. It is troublesome however doable. Real Estate Regulation Bill, which has gotten the gesture from the Parliament Select Committee will be proposed to the Cabinet shortly and it could be moved in the following session of Parliament.
Hello Aloke, well this is a great news for the people of Noida and other adjoining cities as smart city concept will bring opportunity for better infrastructure development and growth in the region. The announcement will also boost the real estate market in Delhi NCR. There are several residential and commercial projects being building up in Noida that will gain maximum from the proposal. Few of these projects include 'The Aranya' and 'Unnati World' by Unnati Fortune Group, a leading real estate company in Delhi NCR. The projects offer best luxurious residential and commercial properties in Noida and have all modern amenities with internationally approved construction designs.
In my point point of view, the aim is to bring vitality to the city, safety to streets, foster social cohesion and generate environmental benefits. By putting residential, commercial, institutional and recreational uses in close proximity to one another, the goal is towards shaping YEIDA into a smart city.
The design of the area would focus on minimum distance between residential and commercial categories of land use. Besides being integrated, the township is likely to be moulded on the work-to-work concept with pedestrian and cycle-friendly pathways. A variety of services such as hospitals, schools, retail malls, entertainment facilities and security have been planned. Large expanses of open green spaces, green buildings and use of solar energy is also proposed.
A smart township is likely to come up in Greater Noida soon, with the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority on Friday taking a major stride towards shaping the integrated residential colony. Once developed, the integrated township will not only meet employment needs but also provide residential space near to the workplace.
Hi Aloke Kumar, As per my knowledge, officials said the Authority viewed presentations of models by 13 leading architectural firms after inviting them to come up with proposals on how to carve out 90 acres of a mixed land use area to develop the smart township in Sector 24 of YEIDA area, which is adjacent to an upcoming electronics hub. The firm will be finalized within the next 2-3 months, after which the finalization of the concept plan for the area will be wrapped up. After this, the detailed project report will be firmed up.
