IMPLEMENTING THE PLAN

Project I: Evaluate And Upgrade Street Network In Tp Schemes And Redefine Street Hierarchy And Block Sizes

Completing Incomplete Streets

This involves planning an integrated street network by extending all incomplete streets proposed through the TP schemes. Planning a comprehensive street network by looking at all six TP schemes together will strengthen the street network and enhance mobility and accessibility in Chandkheda.

Redefining Street Hierarchy

The existing street network is examined and potential streets are identified. Streets that would in future emerge as sub-arterials have been identified and a revised street network is proposed with changed street hierarchies.

Reducing Large Block Sizes

In certain areas where the block sizes are too large, new streets have been carved out and older streets have been extended to reduce large block sizes and facilitate a walkable neighbourhood.

TP schemes

20.2% area under streets, of which

03.8% under Arterial roads

05.7% under sub-Arterial roads

07.6% under collector roads

03.1% under local roads

Project II: Create An Open Space Network By Capitalising Natural Assets

Create A Green Space Network

Allocate Consolidated Land Under Parks

At present only about 2% land is under parks and gardens. This accounts to only 3.2 sq.m. of green space per capita as opposed to 9 sq.m. as per WHO standards. This signifies that there is a lack of public open spaces in Chandkheda. Consolidating green open spaces would lead to more usable parks rather than scattered small minute parks.

Allocating Land Around Natural Water Bodies As Green Areas As Opposed To Built Up Proposed In The Tp

Allocating areas surrounding the natural lakes and ponds as parks would further enhance the quality of the green spaces in the area with also respecting the topography of the region. Capitalising on the natural topography of the region, the natural catchments are areas of depression and should be paid attention to while allocating land for green spaces.

Linking the parks and gardens in the area through creating a green space network will further enhance liveability in Chandkheda. Since the TOD corridor aims at promoting walkability, developing that as one of the green streets will further improve walkability in the region. Similarly, other arterial streets such as SH71, SP ring road, IOC road and New CG road will be developed as green streets to promote walkability in Chandkheda.

Project III: Support Low Income Housing

By

Linking Them To The Transit Corridor

Relocating Low Income Housing Closer To The TOD Corridor

SH 41 being a transit corridor, relocating low income housing closer to it would mean that there are more number of people using the transit facility as these are the people who do not own a private vehicle. Since low income housing residents are those who cannot afford to travel by private vehicles, they are most dependent on public transport for their travel needs. Strategically locating these near the transit corridor would mean that a greater number of people would now use transit due to close proximity to the transit corridor.

Replacing Parking Plots Proposed By Amc By Low Income Housing Near The TOD

Since parking should be discouraged in the TOD corridor, the parking plots marked by AMC along SH 41 have been replaced by low income housing. This would discourage the use of private vehicles and encourage usage of public transit through walkability. Figure 22: Proposed low income housing closer to the TOD

Project IV: Carve Out Land For Financing

Public Infrastructure Projects

3.5% under for low income housing

Locating ‘For Sale’ Plots Near The Major Streets Owing To The High Land Prices

Public amenities and infrastructure provided through TP scheme mechanism require resources. TP scheme is financed through sale of plots demarcated as for sale residential and for sale commercial plots. Thus, leveraging certain plots and marking these lands as ‘for sale’ help in generating revenue which is used in carrying out the public projects. Plots for sale are typically located closer to the major transport corridors as such plots have a higher land price as compared to the other plots inside the area.

TheJantriratesforresidentialplotsinChanadkhedais8750Rs. per sq.m. and that for commercial plots is 25000 Rs. per sq.m. Thus, when we include all the land for sale in the TP scheme, the total costing comes to around 2000 crore. This revenue from the sale of plots will be used to finance the public infrastructure projects like low income housing.

Total area under for sale residential plots: 18,79,325 sq.m.

Total area under for sale commercial plots: 4,99,111 sq.m.

Total cost of for sale residential plots= 18,79,325*8750 =16444093750 Rs.

Total cost of for sale commercial plots=4,99,111*25000 =7486665000 Rs.

Total revenue generated from sale of residential and commercial plots: 23930758750 Rs.
