VERTICAL GROWTH ONLY WAY ,The Haryana government is augmenting land

The Haryana government is augmenting land resources for Gurgaon in the new master plan in an attempt to accommodate a projected spike in population by 2025.
Despite being a parched region, Gurgaon has taken the lead in residential development emerging as the best option for both end users and also for investors. Realizing this well, Haryana government recently moved a plan to increase the residential area per acre to accommodate more people over the next 10-12 years - and there are reasons to do that. A recent National Capital Region Planning Board study has shown that the capital city of Delhi managed to see a downward trend in the population growth, particularly on account of migration, only because of people now finding space in the NCR cities.
Because of its good track record of managing the law and order situation efficiently, Gurgaon has outscored its other competitors in around Delhi. Considering the trends of people still finding Gurgaon a better option, the district administration has proposed these positive changes. The proposals provided in the new draft Development Plan 2025 of Gurgaon-Manesar Urban Complex talk of preparing the city to cater to the needs of a projected population of 39.7 lakh. The earlier Master Plan for 2021 had projected to accommodate 37 lakh people.
However, the ground reality is quite different. Rough estimates suggest that Gurgaon and Manesar put together have already crossed the 30-lakh mark. There is every probability that the population in the region will touch the 60-lakh mark by 2025.
So, any amount of planning to increase residential area in the urban complex is a welcome step, though it might not be adequate to meet future requirements. As per the proposed revised plan, 37,314 hectares would come under the planned development instead of an earlier 37,069 hectares. It would include an area of 15,009 hectares for residential purposes against the earlier earmarked area 14,930 hectares for residential development.
This means around 1,500 acres of additional area will come under residential use. Sources said that this additional land would be used for development of three major residential complexes and scores of group housing societies.
For developing commercial, industrial, public utilities, special economic zone and defence land, the allocated area, however, will remain unchanged. As per the proposed plan, which is likely to be adopted and approved by the state government, 4,283 hectares of land would be earmarked for transport and communication facilities, while earlier it was 4,231 hectares for these services. A provision of 1,642 hectares of land would be made for public and semi-public use (institutional), which will slightly increase by 12 hectares. Earlier, 1,630 hectares were proposed for institutional areas. The area for open spaces has also been increased from 2,675 hectares to 2,828 hectares.
Taking into account the rapid population growth in Haryana, the state government had revised the population density for urban complexes across the state last year. The draft development plan of Gurgaon would be prepared as per new guidelines, calculating the population density at 120 persons per acre as compared to 100 persons per acre earlier.
The existing urban area is of 406 hectares while the rural areas occupy 428 hectares. The 2021 Development Plan comprised 41 controlled areas, sources said that but since the chief minister has ordered that all the sector roads in the forthcoming new residential sectors to be developed by HUDA be interconnected, more land will be required. So, six more controlled areas have been added in Gurgaon, which have already been notified.
Sources said that to accommodate more people, the city has to follow a vertical mode of development rather than the traditional plan of horizontal development. In the last decade, Gurgaon and Faridabad had become the most sought after residential destinations for those who were ready to shell out a little more to own a plot in the NCR.
Though, even now, the HUDA has plans to auction plots in the new sectors, sources said that almost all the sectors would see the development of multistorey group-housing societies. "The development and plan to accommodate more people should also be supported by infrastructure augmentation. Water and electricity supply has to be upgraded. Only
then can we can achieve sustainable development," said Bhawani Shankar Tripathy, a RWA activist.
