Urbanization of Patna needs radical and quantum changes. We heard that the state government
is planning a ring road around Patna . Nothing
like it!! Real estate in Patna will get a much needed energy boost. We at BuysellrentPatna hope this
plan gets executed as soon as possible. This ring road needs to be a free way,
meaning, one need not stop anywhere if one wishes to go round a full circle on
it. No red lights and roundabouts. A world class, 8 lane signal free road
around the “old city Patna ” and along a clean, dolphin full Ganges river front. The
ring road should also contain within it the old, unplanned congested Patna . All the
problems of decaying urbanization in Patna therefore
need to be contained within this Lakshman rekha. Hopefully then we will
concentrate on old Patna ’s redevelopment. On the other
side of this ring road should come up the NEW modern awe striking e-age Patna .
New Patna on the other side of the ring road will be made up of only and only
integrated townships. No other type of construction to be allowed in an
earmarked zone of Patna district, apart from integrated townships for at least,
an area of 100 square kilometers all around the new ring road being thought about.
We can do it; all that is required is political will, vision and
entrepreneurial thinking. Think big and futuristic.
Integrated townships are
self-contained towns having all the modern civic amenities required by
city-dwellers like power, water, roads, garbage management, hospital, school,
parks, swimming pools, recreation center Gym, ground for outdoor games,
restaurant, hotel, shopping mall, cinema hall, auditorium, higher-learning
institute, transport facility, etc, etc. It would not depend on the government
for the civic amenities. One could call it a city within a city. It encompasses all
aspects of modern day living within the development. Integrated township, as
the name suggests, is a self-sustained township having a number of real estate
developments, including residential, commercial, retail and institutional, as
well as industrial areas in some cases. There is a huge potential in this
segment and it will get better as the economy of Bihar grows.
There are
many advantages of staying in such a township. These sustainable urban
residential solutions give people a convenient and enjoyable living space in an
eco-friendly environment. Distance from the city allows its residents to stay
away from traffic, pollution and congestion. Due to the nature of these large
formats, the residents get more open and green spaces bringing them and their
children in close proximity to nature. Integrated townships as a whole can be
considered a sub-city in itself with many plotted housings, commercial,
institutional as well as retail areas and even industrial areas.
The second
big reason to vote for integrated township around Patna is
affordable housing in Patna . Affordable
housing is often a mandatory component of integrated townships. They are
sub-cities where one can live, work, recreate and have access to health and
education facilities. This provides a better standard of living and reduces the
pressure on infrastructure in the parent city.
No doubt, these integrated townships would
require enormous resources and funds. Here we need a visionary leadership to
attract money. The public tastes have changed in Patna and
people want the combined benefits of residence, play areas, schools, hospitals,
shopping and entertainment areas, all in close proximity and bound by a gated
community.
It is possible. In fact,
the integrated townships are coming up in Bathinda,
